Just spent the day today at the 21st annual RenFaire with some of my dearest friends and family to celebrate my 43rd birthday. This is the first time in 20 plus years that I actually had a by invitation event. I want to thank everyone for making the day so very special, especially my wife, who for the very first time, dressed accordingly for the occasion. And what a beautiful Elven archer she is. Plus, my two children dressed as Avengers, Jessica as Black Widow and William as Captain America, and nothing could make this eternal fan-boy a more proud papa! My costume, authentic as it was, was a year in the making, fashioned after a character from one of my future novels. A labor of love for me, not so much for my wife, but I adore her for all of her patience and understanding. This day will be a memory that I will forever cherish. Truly blessed as always!
