Well, 2024 is here.

I really don’t do resolutions. They never seem to last long. People start out with good intentions but seem to lose their way, their determination, and their motivation. I’m the same and don’t regret or worry about it. It’s just the way things seem to go with us humans.

I make short-term goals and hope I fulfill at least a few of them.

This new year I plan to finally finish and publish Bone Whisperer, work more seriously on my Vellas, and write on the next book in my queue. 

I’ve been sitting on the last chapter of BW for over two months now. I think I don’t want to finish it because it would be like saying goodbye to my bestie again. I miss him terribly. His death was sudden and I didn’t get to see him before he went. This book has a character based on him and I’m dedicating it to him. Though I met my Travis later in life than Indy did hers, we were just as close friends, almost brother and sister. AS I said I miss him terribly.

My Vellas. I plan to update them more regularly and promo more. The more reads and likes you get the better the bonus which is where you really make the money on this platform. And if I make enough I might be able to save some and maybe go to another in-person event this year or next. That’s my dream. Being able to go to a Con somewhere as a vendor and sell some of my books. I go to my local Festival but I’d love to go to a big Con.

Writing queue. I have two books up next in my queue, Book 3 of Ghostwolf and Book 5 of Elemental Voice. I have already started on Book 3 of Ghostwolf. The prologue and chapter 1 are written and I’m working on chapter 2 now. It will probably be slower going as I’m also doing my vellas. 

Still running the naming contest for book 5 of Elemental Voice series. If you got a good name for a vampire matriarch, her vampire PA, her vampire head of security, a human villain, or a morally grey vampire assassin give it a try. You may win a signed book or a signed bookplate as well as being mentioned in the author notes. So put your email and the name(s) in a comment.

So those are my plans so far for this year. I’ll probably have more plans later as time goes on but that’s what I have decided for now. They should be doable and not very stressful so I should make them.

Stay tune for the next installment
