## New Book-- The Red Canyon Wolf Saga: And they Cried for More

I am working through the final round of edits on this manuscript, this time its a fictional account of Wolves, ranchers and the tensions in play.  The Red Canyon Wolf Saga..  Writing fiction is much more difficult than a narrative memoir. More on this with the next edition of this newsletter.  A couple of the images for this are AI renditions that my daughter in law, Tzuyun produced.  Now this is new tech.

News from 2024...

We have been through many obstacles in our life journey over this year and therefore couldn't keep up with the changes as we would have wished...

My Mom died at the end of February, with a grieving time for the family, her many friends and the community as well. My brother and I have been working to close her accounts and close that precious chapter that was her life.

My father in law also passed in June, so we were also sighing at his passing.

One of our long time friends also passed this spring, and we attended her celebration of life in early August.

So it has been a time of life's chapters passing and changes to fully challenge our family.
