Wishing you all a Happy New year by Marian Lanoeutte

To the New Year!

2012 was a year of joy and sadness for me and my family. My nephew Paul who fought the good fight against MD lost his battle on Thanksgiving.  He confronted his deasease with humor and strenght. In October, another young man who questioned everything and lived to learn lost his life at the age of 38, my nephew Brian. May both Paul and Brian rest in peace. In our state we experienced a great tragedy–the death of 27 people, mostly children.

The joy came with my first release If I Fail, A Jake Carrington Mystery in September and will be followed up in January with Burn in Hell  A Jake Carrington Mysteryand As the World Ends.  I am right now working on book three in the series, Mated for Life. Going forward in 2013 pertaining to work, I hope to complete three novels this year that are already outlined.

If nothing else this year, the tragedy in Newtown taught us that we still care for each other. From all around the world, words and tokens of sympathy and strenght were sent to the town to honor the dead. In all this outpouring I saw hope for a better future and I have a renewed faith in mankind.

Remember, a smile is free and it can enrich a stanger’s life tenfolds. Share yours.

Please have a Safe, Healthy and Happy New Year!
