Forgive my absence, please. After trips to Chicago and Oklahoma City during Christmas and New Year’s, I came home sick, possibly picked up from sick grandchildren in OKC. After fighting it for several days at home, I went to the doc and learned it was flu. So I’m on antibiotics and strong cough medicine. Finally today I was well enough to go to work. The good news is I’ve lost 12 pounds through all of this. Now if I can just keep it off and lose 30 or 40 more in 2013.

I compiled my December book sales today, once I had access to the spreadsheet on my computer at work. Here’s the totals and the graph.

• “Mom’s Letter” – 1
• Documenting America – Homeschool Edition – 1
• In Front of Fifty Thousand Screaming People – 1
• “Whiskey, Zebra, Tango” – 3

In short, my sales have flatlined for the last five months (8, 12, 8, 7, 7) after the bump that Doctor Luke’s Assistant gave them in June and July.

I’m working on a table of book sales for the year, and will provide that in another post, either today or tomorrow.
