Christmas Poem 2018

Christmas 2018
by Heather Hobson Lewis

As 2018 closes, my pen writes this holiday poem   
to bring you joy and good cheer.
   
Two small trips marked this year.        
One bore us via Southwest wings
to Dad’s 75th birthday bash
for a jovial time,
while the other sent us to Alturas in search
of our missing friend, Konrad Reichenberger.

Books two and three of The Conrad Chronicles,
Realizations and Rejection,
have found book form,
while Stubby and Tale of Butts
are now alive as audio books on Audible, i-Tunes, and Amazon.

Fern and Boomer enjoy play and happiness every day,
from professional photo shoots to
participating in the Walk-n-Wag to
Fern’s first visit to the beach.
   

Merry Christmas and a magical winter to all!

End of Summer Writing Update

Currently my novel, Rejection, is on track for coming out this Fall. Formatting and one final edit have begun. Yesterday I wrote a rough draft for the back of the book, as well as an author's note for inside. This book has been a long time reaching print, and I will be happy when it is out there, and I can move on to the rest of the series. As I remarked in the author's note, Rejection is actually the first book that was written in The Conrad Chronicles series, though it didn't end up being the first book in chronological order, which is why it has taken almost three decades for this book to be published.

Besides my working on Rejection, I have also been typing up the second LOA inspired book and just started playing around with ideas for my 2018 Christmas poem. Add to this that a friend asked me to write a biography of a banana slug for a fundraiser, and I have been busy, but not to busy to enjoy hanging out with a good book a few days this past month.

Happy reading.

Christmas 2017 Poem

Christmas 2017
by Heather Hobson Lewis


This year’s beautiful autumn in Salem has now
transformed to glorious winter,
yielding to a warm and cozy
holiday season.

Unplanned life changes unfolded when
Tom lost one job on Good Friday,
only to land a prizewinning position on Labor Day.

Revolt found rebirth as a freshly printed book,
and evolved into a new form as an e-book.
The long overdue sequel, Realizations,
shall appear by spring.




Fern’s leg completely healed,
freeing her to play rough and tumble with Boomer,
thus leading to the pairs first Youtube video,
Love and Paws.

With all this now past,
we look forward to a blessed 2018
and a world of peace and joy for all,
especially you.
