Hi Friend,

Happy Friday!

While I get my ducks in a row for some upcoming events -- more on that below -- I'm showing up in your inbox to say Hi, Hello, and how's it going?

It feels like the New Year has officially started. (Imbolc!)

I'm back at chipping away at my work-in-progress, Book 5 of my Janey McCallister Mystery series. Feels good, every little tiny step.

I've also taken on some interesting projects:

a developmental edit of a fantasy novel, plus story coaching
a book marketing assessment and recommendation report, plus consulting
write an article for quarterly magazine of the Association of Professional Futurists

I also have a new website coming out soon. Thank you everyone for your feedback!

What are you working on these days? What are you excited about?

I'd love to hear!

Hit reply and let me know.

Upcoming event!
