It’s a brand-new, still-wet-behind-the-ears year

2013 was amazing. To meet so many of you, readers and fellow authors, online and IRL blew me away. It’s been inspiring and humbling, and all kinds of squeeworthy.


Thank you to all of you who bought and loved Santuario, who gave it away as gifts and told others, and especially those of you who took the time to write a review. I appreciate every single one of them.


2013 has also seen the muse and me hard at work to continue the story of Bengt and Alex, which brings me straight to our resolution for 2014: Get that second book out into the world and into your hands. It’s looking good so far. The first draft is done, the rewrite is almost on track (I just have a dying motherboard to replace, and we’ll be back in the saddle, so to speak).


Apart from that, my head is full with stories and characters banging against the inside of my skull, so we shouldn’t run out of books to write any time soon. I want to try a few strategies to work on my writing speed, but only as far as they don’t compromise quality. We’ll see where that goes.


Love you guys. Thank you for making 2013 fantastic. Hope you’ll stay around for the next 365.

TracyMN Waiting on my own delight is more a gift to myself than to you, G.B., but your gratitude will serve beyond your intention and over even my best argument against it.

"The first draft is done" could mean any number of things, and if my immediate response was a shout and a 5 minute "snoopy dance"... so be it. Anticipation is the enemy of patience, and avoiding it the only part of waiting I'd call "work".

I should be good for the duration now, 'cuz, really, how long could it be?

Not that it matters, you couldn't run me off with a stick!

Best to you in the year and the days to come,

Tracy

G.B. Gordon Thank you so much, and for the patience. I know I'm not the fastest writer out there (far from it), so it's doubly appreciated. :)
