A glance back before we drive forward

You readers rock!

As of Jan. 1, 2013, I had never published a single book. I’ve lost count of the number of articles I’ve written for newspapers and magazines and websites – or more accurately, I never kept count. But up until a year ago, never a book.

Now here I am at the beginning of 2014 with four books available on Amazon.com: three novels in my series The Day Magic Died, and a novella, a Nascent Payne Mystery titled The sort-of Murder of Fiona Galloway. (I know, I haven’t talked much about that series … yet.)

To top it all off, there are something like 10,000 copies of my books out there.

Wait, that doesn’t top it all. What tops it all is that you folks helped feed 90 families for a day. Based on the sales of my series in December, Rice & Beans Foundation will be receiving $90 to purchase food for needy families in Nicaragua. Thanks!

I am very grateful to you, my readers, and I promise you two things:

• More books are coming
• I will work to improve my writing

Here’s to a good 2014!
