Happy New Year! As this year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on our accomplishments and what we want to do next. This year, I’ve checked these items off my list:
- Published Star Tangled Murder, #18 in the Bad Hair Day Mysteries
- Reissued all my eight backlist romance titles in new paperback editions and went wide with the e-books
- Put Box Set Six up for Pre-Order
- Started the process of updating Books 1-3 in my mystery series
- Worked on a new WIP mystery novel tentatively titled Murder at Your ServiceÂ
Basically, I accomplished most of what I’d set out to do, and any unfinished items will carry over into the new year. I’ll list those goals in a separate post.
I hope my articles have entertained you and been educational as well. I enjoy relating my adventures in dining and in exploring the area. Did you know I’d kept travel journals since my childhood? I still have them stashed in a plastic bin, and I credit this journaling with getting me started in my writing career. My cross-country trips, our honeymoon to the South Pacific, a Eurail pass adventure across Europe, and a tour of Asia are only some of the entries.
Now instead, I share my explorations with you directly. However, it’s often hard to know if anyone is reading these articles unless you leave a comment.
As a test to see who’s here, I am offering anyone who reads this post a free book as a New Year’s gift. That’s right, if you got this far, then you can go to BookFunnel to download a copy of Hair Brained, my story that starts on New Years Day. Reviews are always welcome!  https://dl.bookfunnel.com/z51vot6b58
What would you like me to discuss in future topics? More writing advice? More posts about everyday life? Or a mixture of both? Please leave a comment so I know what you want and that it’s worthwhile for me to continue this blog.
Have a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year!
Nancy

Thanks, Kay. I read the library is moving back into its regular building. I miss that place and the Friends meetings there. Happy New Year!
Even though I’m not a writer, I greatly enjoy the mixture, Nancy. Congrats on meeting your goals and best wishes to you and yours for a happy 2024!
Thank you so much, Lisa. I am glad you enjoy my posts and wish you a very Happy New Year, too!
Happy New Year, Nancy.
Trying this again since it didn’t seem to go through the first time.
I have already read and reviewed Hairbrained so no need for a copy, but I did want to let you know how much I enjoy all your posts throughout the year. Even though not everything is applicable to me, like the advice to writers, I always find something interesting. And when you recap the year I realize again how organized and productive you are.
All the best for 2024 and please keep the food and family photos coming!
