Update: Ann Rule News from Ann via Rainey, her Webmaster: I have talked to Ann. She sounds very good. She's had to move recently and is settling in. She has finished her next book In the Still of the Night and it is the hands of her editor. She sends her love to everybody. Posted by Rainey, Ann's Webmaster on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 07:32 Sunday Night Hi Everyone! I just realized I haven't read guest book for about 2 weeks! I am on page 440 of In the Still of the Night,and all I do is sleep,eat,and write. I know you'd rather have me finish the book than answer your questions. I will go through them in a day-long guestbook marathon when I send the book to New York in about five days.I have put everything off until I finish. Sigh. I loved reading your words tonight, but the dogs, cats, and I are hungry and my neck is really stiff. I promise to start exercising and rehabbing as soon as I finish. Planted three squash plants yesterday, and my joints felt as though I'd hoed the back 40! I know you use it or you lose it and the staph infection in my spine didn't help me feel like I was 25 again! I'm kind of miffed. The publisher of a re-release asked me to write the forward of Mailer's Executioners Song--and I said I would. Then Scott Turow came along and said he'd do it--and they picked him. He writes for the publisher, too--not mine. Still, I was already forming the forward in my head. Oh, well. Today, a friend cut down the huge dead pine tree in Mike's back yard--which also endangered my house. Amazing to watch! You couldn't get me six feet off the ground with a chainsaw. Tweets is such a grandma's girl that it warms my heart. She calls me 'Grandma Lady' and I call her 'Baby Lady' She's not even two and she picked up a piece of beach glass I have and told me "triangle?" I about fell over. I'm going to enjoy the summer with her right next door! She was very worried that the pine tree was going to fall on me today,and told me to go in the house, please. Talk to you all soon. I love you. Ann Posted by Ann on Sunday, June 13, 2010 at 20:41 Sunday Hi Gang, I've spent most of this week writing and moving and now I'm back to writing. I thought 20/20 did a great job on the Becky Babcock story Friday night--as best they could with their time limits. Most of you who have read Small Sacrifices know the whole story up to 2010, and Becky and I are hoping to write a book updating the story and telling about her life. I thought I looked kind of puny in the show, but I'm still recovering. My hair turned white when I was sick and I kind of like it--but may go back to light auburn, my natural color. When I look in the mirror, the white shocks me! My agents called telling me to put on weight. About the first time in my life anyone told me that! Sometimes I feel as though I'm getting better so slowly, but then I remember how things were weeks and even months ago and I know I'm making progress. I like my new place, but I almost cry when I go back to my beach house. Have half the critters moved. K.C. was almost in the carrier three times--but that little black cat out-foxed us every time. Now, he won't even come when I call him, so I 'll wait a few more days. I have some scratches to show for my rescue attempts. Sigh. My new house has a huge yard, lots of roses, peonies, fruit trees, and even raspberry and blackberry vines. My granddaughter, Tweets, comes over every day to see me as I'm just on the other side of her fence. There are losses in life, but there are compensating gains, too. I hope many of you remembered our brave police across America who lost their lives while protecting us; we lost so many in my part of the country--just since Halloween. I'd better sign off and get back to the book. I'm so glad to have my computer back and the internet all in my own office, and not having to borrow someone else's. Love, Ann Posted by Ann on Monday, May 17, 2010 at 08:58 Thursday Hi ARFS and others signing on! I've been missing from here for too long--but I've been moving, and what a job! I'm still too creaky from my recent illness to carry much but I have lots of help. It feels good to live in a house with no stairs! My other one--still not for sale--has almost 50 steps from the first to the third floor--not to mention the steps down to the beach! I miss seeing Puget Sound and all my flowers there, but this is better for now. This is a quick post to let you know that the 20/20 show that reveals who Diane Downs's last baby is now, and she and I have a talk on camera. It will be on your ABC Affiliate channel wherever you are--usually at 10 p.m and 9 p.m. Central time. Check your TV guides. I don't want anyone to miss it because I think you'll be fascinated. Back to writing on In the Still of the Night. The deadline is 15 days away. And I'm almost done. I'm better every day now, but I have a ways to go yet. Love to you all!
