I’ll be taking a real blogging break through January 3rd instead of the procrastinating inactivity I’ve been guilty of over the last few months. I finally feel as though I’m getting back on track after a year of unfortunate incidents and events, so I’m going to spend this time planning and organizing, continuing my knee surgery rehab, cleaning up a couple of unfinished projects, and squeezing in a bit of relaxation time.

I have one historical mystery under consideration by Five Star. Wish me luck on that, please. It’s a novel I’ve worked on for years and would love to finally see in print.

This new website/blog has been sorely neglected and still needs work on updates and refinements. I’m making that a break priority so hopefully I can finally abandon the old website.

I want to attend conferences and at least one mystery fan convention. I’d like to teach a class or two this  year. Get back out on the walking/bike trails with my camera now that I have a shiny new knee that works right. Finally visit the family members I’ve missed so much while I couldn’t travel. And just have an extra fine 2016 in general.

And write. I want and need to write.

So for now, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I’ll see you on Monday, January 4th.
