The Holidays are upon us and with it an unexpected surprise for me. Beginning November the 25th, I will be on medical leave for an extended time.

Initially, I was at a loss as to how I would manage this blog. Over the years, as I’ve navigated the world of writing, you were there, and I’ve come to think of each of you as a friend and mentor. I didn’t want to just disappear, even if for a while, but I worried needlessly.

When I reached out, you answered, and I’m so grateful to those of you who have agreed to help out during my absence.

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the new Cow Pasture Contributors.

I am more than honored to have these fellow writers stand in for me while I am gone. Please let them know you enjoyed their posts and me too. I may not be able to answer right away, but I will be reading, and when I can, you will hear from me.

In the meantime, enjoy my guest contributors and take a stroll through the Cow Pasture Archives.
