Dear Potential Reader,
I hope you all had a Happy Halloween, but don’t think you’re safe yet. Novemember has always felt spookier. The leaves are gone, the night is longer, and there is a briskness to the air, and I hope you will feel all of that as you read THE LITTLE GIRL.
This story is an old one, probably dating back to experiencing fatherhood for the first time. No one can prepare you for the amount of worry that enters your life. To finally be responsible for a young life, it’s all I thought about. Is my child okay? Sleep was a matter of exhaustion, not something to relax during or to have in regular intervals. And when you’re deprived of sleep, strange things seem to happen, or perhaps we notice things we wouldn’t have before–it’s hard to say as reality bends. Your experience is true to you, but only because you aren’t fully awake.
So snuggle up somewhere warm and prepare for one more scare . . .
Hope you enjoy.
All the best,
DAN JIRE
