Well, it’s been an
“interesting” year.
We had an election.
I don’t think anyone on the planet could’ve missed that fact. It felt like the
longest campaign in history, to me. You couldn’t turn on the TV or the radio or
visit Facebook without being inundated. I scrolled past
all of the political posts online without commenting. You see, my Dad was a wise man and he taught me
never to argue religion or politics.
On a more personal
note, I finished my fifth Malone mystery, making the decision to end the series
– at least for now. If everything goes according to plan, Marnie Malone will be released in the next couple of months. I’m
in the process of writing a standalone romantic suspense novel, something I’ve wanted to
do for a very long time. It’s exciting; a new adventure.
And I made another
decision. I’ve posted weekly for well over five years now. I’ve written numerous
posts, mostly about writing, and I’ve featured lots of authors and their books
on my blog. But writing a weekly post takes time and I've decided I need to use that time to work on my new book.
So, starting January
1st, I’ll post a monthly newsletter instead. I’ll let readers know what’s going
on in my life, personally as well as professionally, and I’ll post news about books
I’ve read and enjoyed, new releases by other authors, etc. I’ll update the post
regularly and I’ll encourage comments from writers who have books coming out
and readers who have questions about any facet of writing.
My publisher has extended the 99 cent sale for the books in my Malone mystery series through the end of the year. (See left side of page.) So, if you haven't read one or all of them, here's your chance to catch up before the fifth novel is published.
Happy New Year!
