Week In Review

I just wanted to drop a quick update in here and let everyone know that everything is going great here in Alaska. We had our first dusting of snow in the backyard yesterday. It was just enough to make everything icy and slippery. However, by the time I realized I should take a picture to put on the website, the sun had come out (yesterday was just beautiful) and the snow had disapeared.

Kierin is doing great. He had hockey practice yesterday and today. He has a brand new pair of hockey skates that he is adjusting to, but he'll be back to skating great in just a few practices. He will be assigned to his hockey team today and will found out who his new teammates are. He is pretty excited about playing hockey, but he is soooo tired after practice-the coaches really run them ragged!

Connor is also doing great. He celebrated his 7th month birthday this week, on the 17th. He is getting a lot of new teeth. They seem to be coming all in at once-he has four, count 'em four, new teeth on the top! It is making him a little fussy, especially at night, but most of the time he is the happiest little baby that I've ever seen.

Relentless by Dean Koontz

Bestselling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a lucky man and he knows it. He makes a handsome living doing what he enjoys. His wife, Penny, a children's book author and illustrator, is the love of his life. Together, they have a brilliant six-year-old, Milo, affectionaly dubbed "Spooky," and a non-collie named Lassie, who's all but part of the family.

So Cubby knows he shouldn't let one bad review of his otherwise triumphant new book get to him-even if it does appear in the nation's premier newspaper and is penned by the much-feared, seldom-seen critic Shearman Waxx. Cubby knows that the best thing to do is ignore the gratuitously vicious, insulting, and inaccurate comments. Penny knows it; even little Milo knows it. If Lassie could talk, she'd tell Cubby to ignore them, too.

Ignore Shearman Waxx and his poison pen is just what Cubby intends to do. Until he happens to learn where the great man is taking his lunch. Cubby just wants to get a look at the mysterious recluse whose mere opinion can make or break a career-or a life.

But Shearman Waxx isn't what Cubby expects, and neither is the escalating terror that follows what seemed to be an innocent encounter. For Waxx gives criticism; he doesn't take it. He has ways of dealing with those who cross him that Cubby is only beginning to fathom. Soon Cubby finds himself in a desperate struggle with a relentless sociopath, facing an inexorable assault on far more than his life.

Fearless, funny, utterly compelling, Relentless is Dean Koontz at his riveting best, an unforgettable tale of the fragile bonds that hold together all that we most cherish-and of those who would tear those bonds assunder.
