Happy New Year! Big plans for 2020!
Hello out there!
Here I go again, not posting forEVER then jumping in on the last day of the year to write a blog post!
How did I get out of the blogging habit anyway? It was a great deal of fun and I don't even know why I stopped.
Anyway, here we are on the cusp of a new year. Looking back over the last one as I set her with my hair in a clip, shawl over my shoulders, trying to decide if I should tidy up or read a book, I do neither by blogging. Seems about right.
2019 was, by all accounts a stellar one. I published my first historical fiction book and it seems to have been well received by most people. It's not a bestseller, it isn't an award winner but it's a project people who read it responded to enthusiastically.
I did a huge number of book signings, even a very well-attended one in Stratford, Ontario when I was there in the fall.
There were reader reviews and editorial reviews and I'm pleased that people liked the story I wrote.
So while that was a lot of fun, it may be surprising to discover that this upcoming year I'm still writing, of course, but I'm also taking a new direction and I'm not even going to tell you what it is.
It's something I've always wanted to do, it's writing-related and I'm looking forward to a whole new endeavor that is outside the creative arts, or at least outside of what people think of when they think creative arts.
It's something to get me out of the house as well!
Tune in sometime in 2020 for news on that!
Oh, and if you want more stories. For no reason other than if forces me to write short stories with the information I've gathered over the years, here ya go.

Happy New Year!
