Recent reviews of Green Ember: Helmer! Thank you, Recent reviews of Green Ember: Helmer! Thank you, dear readers and friends, for the kindness!
It’s my birthday again, and I’m sensing a patt It’s my birthday again, and I’m sensing a pattern. Seems to keep happening. Some folks hate to have birthdays, but not me. It’s a leading indicator of that crucial statistical category flawless scientists call ~still being alive~. I love that. I’m super grateful!

Special and sincere thanks and love to my one and only mother, Barbara Gail Smith, who is the one who put the “birth” in birthday for me. She isn’t turning a year older on February 11, but she gave me life (with the help of the Lord) and I love her and I’m grateful.

This year is the big forty-nine (in human years). In keeping with an old (topical) tradition of mine, here are nine things, in no particular order, I’m thankful for. (Because forty-nine is too high for this forty-nine-year-old brain to count):

1. Water.
2. A little baby boy we get to help care for named John.
3. Free markets and free trade.
4. New wonderful books by pals @claudeatcho, @thorntonchamp , @scott_h_james, @katehox and @joehox and Alex! (@danielnayeri)
5. My brothers and sisters in Christ from other faithful traditions.
6. Theo of Golden by @allenlevi.  Wow.
7. All the wonderful people I work with at @story_warren. 
8. Massive highlight: My parents, who recently moved near us!
9. New Green Ember coming soon! (I GENUINELY love writing & sharing these books!)

Enough about you, let’s talk about me.

Would you do me a birthday favor and leave a review for the latest Green Ember book: Helmer in the Dragon Tomb on Amazon or Goodreads? And if you ain’t bought it yet, what’s wrong? Get that!

Thank you, from the bottom of my old soul.
I’m 49 tomorrow, 2/11. If 50 is over the hill, t I’m 49 tomorrow, 2/11. If 50 is over the hill, then I’m near cresting the summit. So…

Some birthday deals for you that end when my birthday is over. Two audiobooks for a mere $0.49 each. 

Plus, what the heck, why not all the Green Ember audio for $49. 

And I’ll throw in my house for 49 million. (That’s a steal in this economy, am I right gas prices joke inflation joke NFT crack.)

You guys are cool.
