Merry Christmas and Looking ahead to the new year

Thank you to all the people who support my work. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrate in December.

First order of business - Smashwords is doing a year-end sale for all those people who received new e-readers as gifts, and I've included three of my books in the sale. My very first two books (when I was cutting my teeth as an author, so be kind) TOUCHED BY THE SUN and INTIMATE DISTANCE are for sale over there, along with MIST ON THE MEADOW. FREE. If you don't have copies of these books, now's your chance. Be sure to use the promo codes at checkout.

Second - I've been taking some time off to prepare the next EPITAPH book for sale, and to minimize holiday stress, but I'm getting antsy to start writing again. While I've started the next Epitaph book (Liam's story), and I've actually bounced around some ideas for Thad's book (his will be the final installment), I've also been sidetracked by another series idea. The Northwest Suburbs series was fun to write, and I had a thought to write another similar type series about a group of people - friends and neighbors. As my readers, I thought I'd give you the chance to steer my creative process. Sometimes there are just too many stories floating around inside my head, so feel free to let me know which one you think I should pull out first!

Best wishes for the New Year ahead - wishing you peace and prosperity, love and happiness.
