Hello, everyone I have a lot to get through in this post.
First of all the official word on my injury is that I had lead posioning from a stray fragment of a bullet I was shot with a few months ago. When I fell a month later the fragment went into my spine and no one noticed what was wrong until recently. I had the surgery to remove what was causing my paralysis and now I am relearning how to work my body after not moving for so long so I have been going to a lot of therapy but, like I've said I have wonderful doctors and a network of support that I appreciate more than I can put in words.
I want to thank all of the people who enjoy reading my books who have been great. I know I was a little out of it and not in the best shape during a LA Truth About Forest book signing but people came out and stayed despite that. And I know I was even worse in NYC but, I really did enjoy getting to meet all of you and learing about the people who enjoy my books. Speaking of NYC, some of you had the opprotunity to meet my family including my significant other who usually chooses to stay away from my work events. I was told she came off as cold to some of the fans but, she really is one of the warmest, sweetest women I have ever met and if she wasn't I wouldn't have spent 10 years with her. Honestly the trip itself was last minute and as many of you saw (and heard) it was very stressful on all of us.
I also appreciate all the flowers, cards and balloons.
We (Jill, Greta and I) are planning a few more events because I really want to show my appreciaton for all of you. I will say they will be around LA or the midwest because I have commitments to my family and doctors right now.
As far as my writing career is going I am back at Cobalt (as some of you have seen) and trying to work on a few different things. Getting back into writing for days at a time has been harder than I thought but, I am working through it. As far as my autobiography is going a few copies were published but somehow it ended up back at my editors chopping block. However we are working on it hours at a time.
In other news I am finally allowed to say
My lovely publicist and good friend Jill Lamberton-Ryder is pregnant.
Getting Back on Track

I can't find you anywhere around Cobalt these days ! Anyway I got a blog finally but we still need to talk (bring your ninja star)
Glad you are doing better, will you be visiting the midwest ?
It's great to see you blogging again. We've missed you
I love that you're back. You've been through a lot and you are really strong. I thought you were great in LA and charming as ever
I'm sorry Joel but I and alot of us think you are wonderful, but it's hard to like your SO. It's like she's jealous of you or something. It was posted on a forum that you two aren't living together right now, so I hope you make the best choice for you

It's so sweet that you call Jill 'Lovely' I'm so happy that you are writing again.
Unfortunately I have to also agree with Tess about your SO. IDK but we fans are just concerned about you and your family.
Will you ever reply to comments like Linda ?
Hi Joel
You were great in LA and NY we were all just happy to see you talking. I'm sorry that most people don't think your SO is as nice and sweet as you but she has no respect for you or your career. I hope things stay on the up and up for you.
