Two Thousand Eleven

It's the week before Christmas, and like a good percentage of you, I will be travelling to visit family. I'll be criss-crossing the country until 2012, and as such, I've decided the blog is going to take a vacation with me until the New Year.  But before I go, I decided to reflect on what the year 2011 has wrought.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR 2011

Wrote my fifth book, If I Fall , to be released in April 2012


Began book six (still doesn't have a title – but that's a project for 2012)


Wrote a novella – yes, there will be a novella coming in the New Year!  Stay tuned for more details.


Wrote a super secret and yet awesome project, that I'll keep to myself for now.


Follow My Lead was released in May 2011 – and I'm so happy that people have loved it!


Made a book trailer – my first!


My website was redone, into the pretty prettiness you see before you.


Attended the Romantic Times Convention in LA, and the RWA Conference in NYC.

And perhaps the most important of all…

Survived the first full year of cohabitation with my boyfriend.

I'm pretty impressed with myself.  That said, however, I do have goals for 2012.  And I expect you to hold my feet to the fire for the coming year to help me accomplish them.

GOALS FOR 2012

Finish book 6 (and title it!) AND book 7


New novella (an anthology, perhaps?)


Structure a new historical romance series.


A new super secret project.


Attend RWA in Anaheim (it's drivable!  I can commute!)

And perhaps, most important of all…

Teach boyfriend to load/run/unload the dishwasher.

I think that's enough of a weight to place on 2012 for now.  I hope you all have a wonderful, merry, happy holiday.  I'll be back in January but until then, don't forget about my website contest – one lucky winner will get an Amazon gift card… so if you didn't get what you wanted for Christmas, you can go get it for yourself. 

Enjoy a marvelous end to 2011 and usher in the New Year with a bang!  Until 2012, sweets, Happy Reading!
