Farewell 2013 @Solsticepublish

Another year is in the books.  I never really understood the importance of
making New Year’s a holiday but I guess there’s no harm in it.  Let me
thank Chicken Soup for a Bookworm’s Soul again for their kind and gracious
review http://bookwormsoul.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-bowl-for-soul_30.html
from yesterday.  2013 is a year for which I need to give a great many
thanks.  First of all I am thankful to the good folks at Alpha
Wolf/Solstice Publishing for issuing “Quest for the Red Sapphire.”  It is
the first of many novels I have planned.  They took a chance on a new
writer with a big dream.  That dream is becoming a reality and I cannot
convey the extremity of my thanks.  I started the year with no publisher
and little hope.  Ending the year, I have my book in its first store and on
Amazon.com with great hope for the future.  The other writers at Solstice
have helped me with marketing tips and I must heap praise on them as well. 
Then I have some very good friends, namely Angel Dunworth http://www.streetlighthalo.com/index.html
who has been everything from an inspiration to a person to vent toward.  As
you will have noticed if you read my blog regularly, I have a great support
system at home.  My children are a great and ever changing gift.  I
could not love them more.  My wife is my rock.  When the roof feels
like it’s crashing down, she is the support beam holding it up above my
head.  She is truly the wind in my sails that draws me forward.  My
wife is everything to me.  Most men are not so lucky as to have such an
understanding wife.  I am thankful for my health this year as I had
surgery, which took 2 months of my year.  Now that I am fully recovered I
look forward to good health next year.  In all, 2013 was a great year for
me personally and as a professional.  2014 looks to be even better. 
My second book, “Sapphire Crucible” is due out in the first half of the year and
“Quest for the Red Sapphire” continues a strong presence.  Maybe the point
of the New Year’s Celebration is the anticipation of better things to come in
the next year?  I always thought it was a reason for people to drink too
much and act silly.  Then again, I might be thinking of the Superbowl, or
St. Patrick’s Day.  Whatever your reason for celebration, enjoy yourselves
and be safe.  Soon the festivities will be over with and we will be left
with plain old January.
