And, after I had caught up on all the bills and put a little money aside for emergencies, it also meant I could upgrade my lifestyle. Go from that used couch from a friend’s friend and buy a new one. It was heady times.
This would be the first time I would own something that had some real value to it. It would be harder to leave it behind or sell it at a loss. That thought left me sitting on the couch taking deep breaths. I realized I could no longer just decide to go. I would have to actually plan or maybe even stay.
This all started with an unusual childhood that I’ll leave at that, but the upshot is I had learned to stay small, be invisible. Owning nice things, creating large gardens and staying in one place where people get to know you really well makes you visible.
I know I’ve got a lot of best selling books and you’d think that would be the definition of visible, but it’s not. It’s the life we create on a local level, with the people right around us and at long last, I’m getting around to doing just that.
Wait till you see this garden, too. It’s like I’m kind of home… at last. More adventures to follow.
Author Notes - Michael Anderle
December 2, 2020
Thank you for finding Martha and myself here at the back of the book!
Well, it is the week after Thanksgiving and just starting December. I had expected to be back from Texas a couple of days ago.
No need, we didn’t go. Thank you a lot COVID for that.
Since we didn’t go, and due to a general malaise, we decided to not make a large turkey but I have to admit I am still grateful for so many things.
Including: You!
It doesn’t matter if I have one story inside me or one thousand. Without readers it is a pretty desolate wind-swept prairie where my words catch in the breeze and are gone. It’s a pretty lonely existence at that point for an author.
Enter, reader!
With you involved, we get to know that our words have homes in your imagination, the characters live on in ways that encourage us to continue what we do. We might (or might not) be individuals the wider world will know about but in the end, it doesn’t matter.
What matters and what I am thankful for is that you will know our characters. For in each of them, perhaps in a small part, is a piece of myself, and Martha and those who work with us on all of these projects.
At some point, raise a glass of your favorite beverage and toast a character in a book or story you love. In essence, you are raising a toast to us.
In there somewhere, you will find me toasting you right back.
Ad Aeternitatem,
Michael Anderle
