My 2017 was amazing! I hope you feel the same way about yours. It’s that magical time of year when one starts thinking about how fast the year went and all the good times and friends made along the way.

This past year saw three releases for me, and due to my awesome readers, all three of them reached international bestselling status!! I am forever humble and full of gratitude that people let me into their lives through my books. Entertaining people is what I’m here for and what makes my soul come alive!

I also challenged myself in 2017 on a personal and professional level. I spoke on a panel at Bouchercon, a mystery convention, that was held in Toronto. That was fun and rewarding! I took part in more live book events and signings than I have in previous years. And this is just the beginning.

For 2017,  we bought a large vase to fill with gratitude notes, and I can hardly wait to read through them from this past year on New Year’s Day just to be reminded how magical 2017 really was! (Picture enclosed in this post. Different color notes were used to distinguish months and December was just getting started when I took the photo.)

And 2018 is going to start off magical. I can just feel it. I plan to bring you more books, starting with a release in April! More details on that in January.

Anyway, that’s a little bit about me… I hope this season finds you in good cheer! Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
