It has been a rainy lazy day. Chris and I sat down to work on the last touches of Countermeasure and to get started on additional work on To Russia With Love, however, our best intentions have been thwarted by snow, distractions like catching up with friends on facebook, and yes, the rainy lazy day.  We often say authors don’t get holidays but sometimes you just have to sit back and take one. Recharge the batteries, brain, creative juices—choose your poison—and enjoy the rainy lazy day.  I hope you took the time to have a lazy day with family, recharge, and gear yourself for a wonderful year of writing. Happy New Year!
