Many good friends and readers have been inquiring of late about when I would resume writing.

That would be a while, I am afraid, as I have decided to extend my hiatus for a bit longer.

I sincerely apologize for not answering everyone individually.

Although you doubtless each deserve a personal response, I am frankly unable to handle the volume of correspondence coming my way on a one-by-one basis – much as I would have liked to do so.

So please consider my collective reply as a personal one and know that I deeply appreciate your concern and support.
