Hello All,

Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe it’s 2019 already! So far, it’s been pretty busy. I’ve been making some prayer journals for people at church, packing away Christmas decor for another year, and gearing up for several author events. Speaking of author events,

I was supposed to do an author Q&A Saturday before last at Coffee with Christ in Belleville, but it got cancelled due to the snow fall in our area. Up to 8 or 9 inches of snow was forecasted for our area by the end of the storm, by Sunday night. The average in our area was about 10 inches.

Let’s just say that me, books and snow don’t get along, except for reading them from the cozy living room by the fire! With the snow outside, me inside, and a mug of hot chocolate of course 🙂

Two other events are being set up for February, one in a coffee shop in my town, and a Chamber of Commerce event. Somehow, I’ve also got to find the time to finish novel number three, slated to publish this fall. And the year has barely started!

I want to thank all of you who gave me birthday greetings last month. Hopefully all the giveaway prizes arrived safe and sound.

I set my new Goodreads goal for 80 books this year and have read 7 so far. Last year’s goal was 100, since a book wasn’t coming out.

How is your 2019 going so far? 

Happy reading and writing!
