PHOTOGRAPHY BY ME: I finally made it on my dream trip for a long camping adventure around England and South Wales. In doing so, I brought home some amazing photos to add to my portfolio.  I had another successful photoshoot in North Florida during my fall powwow camping trip with a friend, catching an extraordinary sunset on the beach. Here are just a few of my top picks. Can you find the seal?

2023 WORD COUNT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

While I only managed to get one book title finished and published this year, that isn’t the bar of what I have accomplished in the way of writing for this year, because I have accomplished a great deal more. It’s simply that I am not finished yet. So here are my word counts for seven titles I have been actively working on consistently in 2023.

WIPs started in 2023:

Three Wrong Turns – 49,812 (in its final fluffing stage)Squirrel & Luggage – 32,840Blurring the Lines – 113,815

WIPs from prior years still in development:

Seducing His Thief – 56,013 added (Talon’s DoB series)Unsuspecting Savoir – 24,911 added (Talon’s DoB series)Quantum Mate: Catching Lee – 4,569 added (in its final fluffing stage)Life With Missing Parts – 27,285 added

That’s a total word count of 306,886 words. (included this year’s published title)

After having experienced a bit of a slump in the previous couple of years, I’m rather happy with my accomplishments this year and look forward to which goals I reach in 2024.
