Winter Wonderland

To continue catching up on our holiday adventures, after Christmas we took Jessica's mom to Kincaid Park so that she could see the kids sledding down the big hill. It was cold. With the wind coming off of Cook Inlet, the wind chill factor must have made it ten below zero. Still, a good time was had by all.

Connor contemplates trouble while enjoying the perks of his new sled that Grandma Kathy got him for Christmas. It was cold, but Connor was snug as a bug in a rug.

While it was cold, we were able to convice Grandma to leave the comfort of the chalet to get a picture with her boys in the snow. Yes, that IS Kieirin and Connor under those clothes. If you look closely, you can make out Kierin's eyes.

It was fun to sled, but tiring, too!

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.
