Update on Life… and Death

Prepare to be depressed. (If you don’t want to be depressed, just skip this blog for now, k?)

My Mom is dying of lung cancer. Yesterday, I was finally told she’s terminal and may have a few months – at most. I am not handling it well, as one might expect. My Mom is my best friend and always has been. I have no idea how to live without her. To give you some idea – we went to law school together. She was actually a year ahead of me. When I graduated, they allowed her to award me my degree onstage at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City.

She’s at a local hospital for the moment and I’m working on getting a second opinion at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After that? Who knows. It’s in God’s hands.

So as you can imagine, I won’t be around much. My books are the last things on my mind right now. My readers are on my mind and I want you all to know how much I appreciate the prayers, good thoughts and healing vibes being sent our way. Keep ‘em coming. My Mom and I believe very strongly in the power of prayer, so please say a prayer for my Mom, Sophia, if you’re so inclined.

Thank you and I’ll try to keep you posted once in a while. If you have any ideas for me, please pass them along. I’ll be around a little, but probably not interacting much until and unless things settle down a bit. Wish us luck… and pray for a miracle.
