And that’s it from me, for now. I’m off to decorate the Christmas tree with an excitable four-year-old and do my best not to slip and fracture my collarbone whilst putting up Christmas lights.
(It shouldn’t be difficult. I don’t have a ladder, so they’ll be going in the downstairs windows…)
Until next time, a merry Christmas, and thank you for riding with me on this journey.

Author Notes - Michael Anderle
December 9, 2018
THANK YOU for not only reading this story but these Author Notes as well.
(I think I’ve been good with always opening with “thank you.” If not, I need to edit the other Author Notes!)
RANDOM (sometimes) THOUGHTS?
I was reading Dan’s Author Notes, and just about snorted Coke out of my nose (the drink, not the chalky white substance). I make good money, but Coke is expensive. Have you ever had to buy a bottle of Coke in Europe?
My God, I think the white chalky substance is cheaper.
Anyway, I was reading the first part of his notes when he says this: “It’s getting close to Christmas. That means, here in the UK, the nights have grown longer. The days are colder. Twinkling lights litter houses along the streets, causing epileptic seizures to anyone that looks their way.”
I was imagining a nice scenic picture of older-than-me-by-a-couple-of-centuries homes with strings of lights up under their eaves and young kids pointing up at the pretty lights…
Until I see the seizures part and now, all the kids aren’t pointing at the lights, but trying to block the lights from their eyes lest they also fall to the ground in agony as the Christmas lights affect them.
No wonder Dan writes horror and I don’t. I can just imagine the lawsuits ramping up here in the USA thanks to some enterprising lawyer and Dan’s offhand comment.
Well, thanks a lot, Dan. There goes Christmas. ;-)
Now, we’ve just talked about Dan, so let’s talk some more about DAN!
Here is another bit from his author notes that made me smile:
“I won’t spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t yet read any other Michael Anderle books, but I know some of you may know the answer to the questions above.
“*Cough.*
Ezekiel.
*Cough.*”
I’m going to go on a limb here and say that Dan was probably a real pain-in-the-arse as a kid. (He’s from England, I think? I get my collaborators’ countries all

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
One of the interesting (at least to me) aspects of my life is the ability to work from anywhere and at any time. In the future, I hope to re-read my own Author Notes and remember my life as a diary entry.
Sitting at my desk in Las Vegas Condo.
So, I’m working on some advertising here at my desk, waiting for 5:30pm when I need to let my wife know it’s time to wake up. (I know I left her saying she doesn’t want to take a nap before we go to dinner with some professional contacts, but I suspect she will be asleep anyway.)
And she says I don’t pay attention.
Anyway, I’m sitting here minding my own business when ZenMasterSteve (AKA #LastMinuteLarry) makes a comment in SLACK that I owe Author Notes for the morning…
DAMN!
I’m supposed to be going to dinner in a short while and now I owe Author Notes?
So, I say something snickery to him, and he comes back to let me know I owe three more for the week.
Never be a smart ass to the man who gives out the homework.
It’s just not worth it.
I wonder if he is making up any of those books just to make me work more?
I know he gets these last, so he can probably add something totally irrelevant and false to these notes and I’ll never know.
Damn, now I’m wondering what he is going to add?
[ZMS edit: Totally irrelevant, but true - Michael should thank me for keeping him from starting the going to dinner at 5:30 precedent that marks the most obvious passage into old age. You’re welcome!)
