Scott E. Sutton, noted author, announced through a spokes-Beebee that he has finished touring until January 2017 and has gone into seclusion at his home in Arizona, USA.

When asked about the rumors of a "Christmas cookie addiction" the spokes-Beebee is quoted as saying, "It is no secret that Mr. Sutton loves the cookies that his wife, Mrs. Sutton (who is descended from a long line of Polish bakers), bakes this time of year. He does eat a massive number of them, but these addiction rumors are nonsense. He has it 'under control'."

After brushing a few crumbs from the podium, the spokes-Beebee continued "Scott has asked me to relay this message to his friends and collectors."

"To all my collectors and friends, thank you for stopping by and seeing me this year and I hope to see you all in 2017. My wife Susie and I, our dogs Smokey Bear and Lucy Luu, and all the spokes-Beebees wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!"
