My 101-year-old fan, Norris Smith, has surfaced and… blessed be… he’s still going strong.

Norris Smith
I am one happy lady right now. Recently I heard back
from my favorite fan, Norris Smith. If you go to the original blog I wrote
about him on April 19, 2014 you’ll understand my connection with Norris and how much this wonderful old man means to me.
His daughter wrote to say that Norris
celebrated his 101st birthday and was still going strong. I was elated because I
had lost my website e-mail that had all their particulars and I thought I’d
lost touch forever. I must admit that I wore a silly grin all day. And I felt a
lightness of spirit that comes when all’s right with the world.
Just think, 101 years old and still reading. WOW!!
We all know that wisdom comes with age, right? Ha! You know where I’m going
with this, don’tcha? And you’re right. I can’t help it. Just think – this wise
old man likes books… my books. For me – that’s a beautiful thing.
I’ll admit I’ve wondered about the romance
threaded into the suspense. I’m glad it doesn’t seem to bother him. Come to think of it, he probably
gets kick out of the sassy heroines and their hero counterparts who aren’t all
macho males that think women should be their underlings. It’s true; they’re
strong men, but guys with heart and humor. I bet he relates.
Norris has been known to have called, Special Agent
Finnegan
, a real barn burner! What better compliment could a writer have? Now,
whenever I’m writing and think my story might be sagging, I remember that remark and realize I have
to create more conflict and keep the plot moving. Thank you, Norris XO
I wanted to write this blog as soon as Lucille contacted
me but I waited until the cover for the soon to be published book #3 for
Undercover FBI Series was finished. I knew Norris would get a kick out of
seeing it.
Special
Agent Maximilian
– twin brothers who never knew the
other existed. Until one day…

***Just so you know, I’ll be sending his daughter
Lucille, a link to this blog so if you want to send this wonderful old
gentleman a small note in the comment section—to say hello—I know he’ll be
thrilled.
