The Last Day, And The First Day

Today is the last day of 2009. What a year! Although I should lament about the state of the economy, or the fact that I’m not getting any younger, I have to say that I’ll always remember 2009 as being a great year for me.

My first book Wyoming Solace came out two weeks before 2008 ended. Since then, I’ve written and sold another six books. I’ve learned a lot, grown a lot, met some great authors, editors, publishers, cover artists, and twitter friends (you know who you are). I’ve learned more than I ever thought I wanted to know about the internet, blogging, website upkeep, (I now know what CSS stands for, but HTML is still a mystery), and social networking, and I’ve learned a fraction of what I want to know about writing and publishing.

There’s always next decade, right?

I hope that all of you had a great 2009, and will have an even better 2010.

So what’s on tap? I’ve got several stories in the works, a few for me, a few for Olivia. I’m sure that my recent slump of writing angst is over (right?!) and I’ll be kicking out at least another six novels this year. I also have a trip coming up in April to the RT Convention in Columbus OH. I hope I get to meet a plethora of romance geniuses, and if I rub up on them, their greatness will soak in by osmosis.
