Monday Musings for the New Year

Happy New Year!

It's that time when everyone's popping open the bubbly, packing away the decorations, and making resolutions of all sorts. Long ago I made a resolution to never make "resolutions" per se, but I do like to set goals for the coming year.

Here are my 2013 writing goals:

1. Spend more time on the blog.

2. Release a new book every 1-2 months.

Ironically, one of my goals last year was to STOP spending time on the blog for a while so I could focus on releasing more books. But I missed it!  So this year I'm back and ready to kill two birds with two stones. Be on the lookout for more recipes on Tuesdays, six-sentence excerpts on Sundays, and some other surprises and guests.

On the writing front, I have a new series of MM/werewolf tales in the works, along with the final two books in the Lone Wolves of Shay Falls series. I also have a stand alone fantasy and a contemporary novel that I hope to see release sometime over the next several months. I haven't been writing short stories for a while since I've been so busy working on all these books, but I do have a few ideas skittering around the far recesses of my brain. And speaking of brains, I'm getting ready to help edit my husband's first full-length novel, a zombie book he wrote during NaNoWriMo. It's a far cry from his usual short erotica, but a fun ride full of humor and wicked action nonetheless. I couldn't be more proud!

That's it for now! Wherever you are and whatever you hope for, I wish you a gracious and fulfilling New Year. Farewell 2012.
