Just Write: 2023 Highlights

Hello There!

It’s a new year of writing and a time to reflect on the words and writing that were accomplished over the past year. I had a good 112 tracks I’ve followed over the course of the year that insipired me to write. The most played was Blood by #ANIMA! Especially those last few chapters of Gambling on Common Scense that sound pulled me into the world of Ash and her crew. I’ve written over 90,000 words over the course of the #2023 year and wore out at least one computer and one keyboard (Whoops!).

On a less destructive note, my first non-selfpublished short story will be out 02/09/24 in the A Bit of Luck Anthology in honor of Eric Flint! Check out A Brother’s Oath along side many other stories in the anthology published by Wordfire press.

As an added bonus, my debut novel, Gambling on Common Sense, will be released this year on 12/20/24. The feedback from my Beta’s demanded a sequel so I’ll be digging into that this year as well. It’s been overwhelming to feel like an author an not just a dabbler in the art. I have high hopes for this year! Thank you to all of those who’ve supported my writing, even that one reader warms my heart more than you know.

So here’s to you wayward reader, errant story tellers, and insomianc book dwellers. Hope you’ve an amazing year and that I see you again soon 🙂
