As I am wishing my friends, family, readers, and fans a Happy New Year I am also so pleased that a wonderful film, of the same name, is in post production. In Happy New Year, the film, I am the proud mother of a marine. As art so often imitates life…I AM ACTUALLY A PROUD MOTHER OF A MARINE. Luckily for me, my real life son returned home from Iraq safe and sound. My film son returns, badly wounded, to the post traumatic stress disorder ward in a VA hospital. Here’s a clip for you to see:

I hope that this New Year all of us will remember those courageous men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us, those recovering from their wounds, of all kinds, and the family and friends who love and support them.

Let’s make 2011 a wonderful, happy, and peaceful New Year!
