Do I dare say . . .

Happy New Year?

Egad, I've had a long hiatus from my blog.  Last year was an insane year for me.  So much going on!  Here's the short list:

1.  My youngest daughter got married.  (Beautiful bride and wedding!)
2.  My first grandbaby was born. (I am smitten!)
3.  I had a new book published!  (The Fox Inheritance!)
4.  I wrote and had my first short story published! (Gargouille in Enthralled anthology!)
5.  I wrote and had my second short story published! (The Rotten Beast from Tor!)
6.  I went on a very long group book tour! (Pen Fatale tour!)
7.  And . . . ta-da! During all of this, somehow I wrote ANOTHER book! (The third and final of The Jenna Fox Chronicles)

It still makes my head spin.  I honestly don't know how I did it all, but I do know I was busy, and some things had to go by the wayside--like keeping up on my blog.  And the gym.  And cleaning. And . . .

So I'm hoping 2012 is a bit less hectic.  I am finishing up revisions of the book I mentioned in #7.  No title yet.  My editor and I are still working on it, tossing around possibilities.  It should be out this time next year.

And new stories ideas and characters have already come courting.  I keep pushing them away which is what I always do with stories, and then finally, I succumb to the ones that just won't stop wooing me. But right now I will keep them at bay until I finish these revisions.

(Are revisions ever really ever finished?  But that's another post.)
