This year marks 20 years that I’ve been a professional writer and I haven’t slowed down a bit – at least from a writing standpoint. We only had one book released this year — the first in the Straw-Man series — but hopefully next year will see the 14th Lazarus Gray book, another Straw-Man, and hopefully Omnium Gatherum, if nothing else. I’m currently writing the sixth Dark Society book and you can’t even see the first of those until at least the first three Straw-Man books are out. Oh, the perils of publishing!
Personally, it’s been an up-and-down year. I continue to struggle with my mental health but things have improved financially as of late so that takes some anxiety off of me. Fingers crossed that things will continue on the current trajectory in 2024.
No matter what holidays you celebrate – or even if you don’t celebrate any at all – I give you my sincere hopes that the end of this year and the beginning of the next will be happy ones for you.
