2015 in Review

This is what I said I wanted to do this year...

Finish Stone & Silence, the final book of The Barefoot Healer, and have it on sale by the end of the year. (Not done, but I did finish the first draft and have made good progress on editing it. Barring unforeseen eventualities, it should be on sale in the first or second quarter of 2016. I took some photos for the cover last week when I was visiting my family.)

Finish a first draft of a sequel to The Accidental Dragonrider. (Not done, but I have most of the plot for it. I'll start it once Stone & Silence is out of the way.)

Don’t let the TBR pile get any bigger. I had 110 unread books on my Kindle this time last year and now have 74, so that's good.

Reduce the size of the queue of stories I've yet to read on Wattpad. (Not even attempted. I think I'm going to have to be much more selective about who I follow on there.)

Record at least one audiobook and put it on sale. (Done. The Accidental Dragonrider is now available in audio, read by yours truly. Production and publication didn't go as smoothly as I would've liked, but I learned some valuable lessons for future recordings.)

Upload at least ten minutes of edited video, not including any videos that promote my books. (Done. I uploaded five videos totalling 10 minutes and 39 seconds, according to the timings on YouTube. Have a look here - https://www.youtube.com/user/pembersb... Even better, only one of the videos is from the archives - the others were all shot and edited this year.)

A couple of other things that weren't on the list back in January... I released a print edition of The Accidental Dragonrider, and started an audio edition of Death & Magic. I'm nearly done with recording that (three more chapters to go). Even though I haven't published anything new this year, 2015 has actually been my best ever in terms of books sold and money earned.

Come back in a few days to see my plans (ha!) for 2016!
