Congratulatioons,Charrie, on your new award.
I have often thought of Falling since reading it two years ago and seeing you here in VA.
Every time I do, I wonder when you’ll be back in VA, and whether you are working on a new novel.
It seems nuts that it has been two years already!!
Mike and I are grandparents twice now. Two grandsons, Sam and Alex.
Our sons are both flourishing and that makes life so good. Meanwhile, Michael’s Mom moved in with us two Februarys ago. Her Alzheimers is getting rather advanced and she cannot be left alone. So that’s our challenge. Thank goodness we love her so!
I hope you are well, your kids are thriving, and you have been inspired to write novel # two.
Love and best wishes from

Robin,
Thanks so much! Two grandsons!! You guys aren’t old enough! And you certainly don’t look old enough!
As for me, I am working on a second novel that I think will be a young adult novel and I continue to teach at the University of Tampa. The good news there is that most of the time now I am teaching either creative writing or fiction writing rather than freshman expository writing (Thank the Lord!!). I have come to Virginia a few times on whirlwind visits but am planning to come for a more leisurely visit in the spring. Would LOVE to get together. Also, I am trying to talk Leslie into coming to Florida in February for a girls weekend in the sun. Could you come? Get away from the cold for a couple of days? See the beach. Watch my daughter Emma (now in 10th grade) ride and jump her way too big and very green new horse? Please consider it. I think we could have lots of fun hanging out!
Ellie is in her second year of college and loves it. She is attending New College, which is Florida’s honors college, and finally feels she fits in. Leo is in the honors college at the University of South Florida and has been accepted into the International Honors Society of International Business and Marketing. He’s due to graduate at the end of summer 2012.
That’s all my news. Will be in touch about February.
Love to you and Michael,
Charrie
