Spring is in the air…almost! Hang in there, it’s coming.

So – let’s catch up. Jon and I wrote his autobiography, TIMMY’S IN THE WELL in 2008. It’s currently in a 2nd printing and coming out in paperback in October with an additional chapter. Many thanks to those who have written to let us know how much you’ve enjoyed it. It means a lot to us.

Jon and I are working on another book together. Not only is Jon a cultural icon, he’s a great cook, too. I have pushed him to tell his secrets in TIMMY’S IN THE KITCHEN, Back-to-Basics Recipes for Family, Friends and Fido, too. We’ve got recipes for family, kids and dogs – even some of Lassie’s recipes. Stories and rare photos from behind the scenes on “Lassie” and Jon’s personal life then and now. We’re having a lot of fun with it. I’ll let you know the progress.

I still write for FIDO FRIENDLY. Had interesting chats with Montel Williams and Joy Behar for them recently. I continue to work on a TV series I am creating. Never did anything like this before and it’s been challenging. But this is the year I complete it and shop it. Can’t wait to tell you more about it soon.

And, like any freelance artist, I have several other projects in various stages. Seems I’m always working….in hopes of getting more work. One of my best friends was just living life last month when she was struck down by a brain hemorrhage. She remains in a coma. It’s causing me to rethink so much…meanwhile, prayers for Peggy in St. Louis, please. Count your blessings and don’t sweat the small stuff.

More soon.
