I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to get in touch with you again. Life got in the way. In the form of a Stroke. Fortunately, it was a small one, which does not address the turmoil it caused in my life. I am fortunate to have good insurance and a life partner who is the best caregiver, ever.
I walk with a walker and can do most things quite well. I am taking my physical therapy seriously and complete it every day.
When Preston arrived yesterday, I asked him if we could skip it as I had fallen that morning. All accidents are caused by stupidity or forgetfulness. I chose to accept forgetfulness. No worries, I am fine. As my famdamily says, “bumbles bounce!”
My other hill to climb is that I forgot how to write! I practice writing my name and thank you every day because, as an author of more than 14 books, I would like to sign them for readers.
I also write, “Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country.” I have many pages filled with that sentence. I also typed pages of that.
I plan on getting everything back, and the only way is to practice, practice!
I hope your day and life are happy, and your hills are not to steep!
By the way, all my books are available on Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Amazon, and my website, http://www.brendacolbathbooks.com. They are also available on most of your favorite booksites. I write Murder Mysteries, sci-fi, Children’s, and Young Adult books.

Biography
Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die.
I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect?
Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing.
My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda.
Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated.
I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.”
I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class.
After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome.
I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
