It’s our Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so that gives me plenty to blog about. My side of the family is getting together tomorrow for turkey dinner. 25 people in all, 15 of which are kids ranging in ages from 2 - 19, and of those 15, 11 are boys. God help us all! LOL It’s becoming increasingly difficult to get everyone together now, so it’s always a huge treat when the planets align and the gods smile down on long enough for the whole crew to share a meal. Oh, don’t get me wrong - it’s not all sunshine and roses. Sure enough, there might be a tiff or two, but isn’t that what family’s all about? We fight, we make up, we eat. It’s all good!

This past week I’ve also been enormously thankful for my editor at Dorchester. Leah Hultenschmidt is an absolute angel and has helped me work small miracles on my upcoming book, The Devil’s Daughter. It will be a much better book thanks to her insight and eagle eye.

And even though Game 1 was a freakin’ nightmare, I’m very thankful the Yankees made the playoffs again. Nothing better than a couple hours in front of the tube with my kids (who really do try to enjoy the game) and Joe Torre’s boys. Go Yankees!

So whatever you’re doing this weekend, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving now or next month, I hope you have plenty to be thankful for.
