Having safely crossed the One Thousand and One Berthoudian Nights Blog thresh hold, I promised an extremely talented friend I would read his ARC latest in a popular series book to provide a cover blurb and since I am also working on a legal matter through the end of the year, I figured I would use the morning blog time to keep the blurb promise, since my old eyes (and body) are too tired to do so after a day reading legal cases. Plus, readership comments have dwindled while you fine, five readers wrap up 2024, so I’m betting no one will notice my absence here for at least the first few weeks. A head start down my rabbit hole.
Given my competitive nature, I may also use the time after providing the blurb for the requesting prolific writer for this writer to become more prolific and start a new work. Let’s see if the Muse shows up.
On behalf of Lisa, Claire, Honey, Smokey and myself, and all the other sentient creatures, real, fictional and both, who inhabit and/or visit Casa Claire, I wish you fine, five readers a Blessed, Merry and Happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus, and of course, Yule, and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Live, Laugh and Love.
I will still continue to post humorous, informative and otherwise thoughtful gobbets on my FB page and silly videos on my TikTok page as the spirit moves me.

Feel free to Like and Share anything that tickles your fancy on both sites (or this one). If you find yourself longing for a dose of blog, there are about four years worth of them archived on this sight. https://thewisenovelist.com/blog/
Just punch in a keyword and off you’ll go.
Given Claire’s Theorem, that only five, fine readers visit this site at any one time,
I’m sure there are many unread blogs to explore, including the blog about Claire’s Theorem.
See you all again in 2025. Stay happy and safe.
During the interim, if you find the time over the holidays, read my books and post positive reviews.
It makes publishing that next book so much easier. Plus, the pheromones of positive Amazon, B&N and BookBub reviews are an aphrodisiac for the Hollywood types whose social media driven ADHD will not allow them to read anything longer than a positive review. So, be creative in your brief compliments. Claire expects 2025 to be the year she makes her Hollywood debut.
Thanks for the continued support.
Love you all.
Claire also sends her love.
And what ever else we get up to, let’s use the magic of this Holiday Season to make each and every one of these upcoming days amazing.

Enjoy your hiatus from the blog!
But I am going to miss reading it…. I guess I’ll just have to tell myself to “make today a great one” every morning
Merry Christmas to you and yours, including Claire of course.
