As we wrap up 2024 and get ready to head into 2025, I just wanted to take some time to express my gratitude for everyone I've touched or who has touched me through my writing...
First of all, I want to thank my beautiful family for the ways they have shown support this past year. To my oldest daughter, who is constantly sharing posts about my books...my middle daughter whose determination in her own life is inspiring to me...and my youngest daughter who has thrown in a helping hand here at home to free up some of my time to do nothing but write. Thank you all for just being your beautiful, unapologetic wonderful selves. There is so much love in my heart for the three of you, it is bursting.
I'm grateful for my fellow author and friend and editor JJ Devine who has been such an inspiration and motivating writing buddy for many years...I can't wait to see what books she comes out with in 2025! And I can't wait to try the wine from you and your sister's winery!
To my author friends, Tina Susedik and Ginger Ring, who have been here for me through some of the darkest days and to hang out with at our "author retreats". Your friendship which was borne out of my writing career is irreplaceable. I can't wait to see what kind of antics we manage for this year's "author retreat";
For my awesome PA...Tessa Russ with Poised Pen...thank you for being my beta reader during the writing process of all my recent books. Your input and feedback have been invaluable. Your work as a PA has included some extraordinary covers and I see you as more than a PA...you are also a friend...and I cannot wait to see what comes out of your own writing.
Thank you to my recent travel buddies, Kristi, Victoria and Pam. Our trip to Ireland was amazing and I appreciated your patience with me as I navigated roads that were as narrow as a butt crack at times. I cannot wait for our expedition to Scotland in 2025 and I can assure you, I have the driving on the wrong side of the road from the wrong side of the car down pat at this point.
To my brother and sister-in-law in Arizona for not only giving me a place to lay my head when I came out for the book event in Phoenix but showed me some beautiful desert scenery on the way to Tombstone and included me in their Saturday night plans after the event. I love you guys!
Saving the best for last...all of you...my readers and followers...I have so much gratitude. Without you following my blog or reading my books or stopping by at events...writing books would not mean as much as it does. I love being able to take you away into the magick of worlds outside your own with mere words. For all your support, I have been humbled. Thank you...
With this last entry of 2024, I wish you all a very Happy New Year! Many blessings and much love!
