Reflections on 2014 from R.E. Hargrave

On this last day of 2014, I find myself sitting here thinking back on what I've accomplished, and what I hope to tackle in the future. By some mad fortune I can now say I have seven published books ... quite something, when at the beginning of this publishing journey I had no certainty if I'd be stopping at one. However, I can claim four novellas and a three novel series under my belt. That's nothing for me to shake a stick at. Of those seven, I've even got six of them available in print! One of my novellas has also been included in a fourteen-book anthology: Treasured Moments which is still at it's introductory price of only $0.99!
Around my writing, editing, and formatting schedule for myself, I managed to sneak a little bit of reading in, enough to come up with a top ten list: SEE FULL LIST with my reviews and retails links. I'm already digging in and lining up my reading list for 2015, and can't wait to see where those new reads will take me! 
Kira Barker, Al Daltry, J.M. Darhower, Sam JD Hunt, Samantha Jacobey, Amber L. Johnson, Jason Luke, Kris Thompson, Cherime MacFarlane, and Gracen Miller made the cut.
When I wasn't working on projects for myself, I was spending time helping out some fellow Indie authors prepare their own books for release ... either through beta-reading, editing, or formatting. Here are the results of those efforts:

My first official book signing in the small town of Granbury, Texas happened in July.Joining me were fellow Texas authors Jennifer Theriot, Jeanne McDonald, and Tessa Gray.

In August I succumbed to the dreaded ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE:Facebook video
October was a double month.  First, I released my erotic novella, The Food Critic: Amazon Kindle $0.99
Second, it found me in Austin as a guest of Lorenz Font at the Texas Book Festival, where I got to meet (and get signed books from) several amazing authors!
December, of course, brought my year to an amazing finish with the release of Surreal.
