Happy New Year!

I'm a bit later than I meant to be writing this post, partly because I'm buried under deadlines and will be for most of January (more about that another time!) and partly because I wasn't sure exactly what to say. 2017 was a difficult year for most of us, for many reasons. There were so many good things too—for me, I saw The Dragon's Devotion out in the world, something I wasn't sure would happen about a year ago. I'm thrilled with it, and so happy that it's out there for you to enjoy too. I wrote two books and signed contracts for both of them. And I love those stories so much, as difficult as it was to write. But 2017 was hard and discouraging and scary too. I feel like I fought for every word I wrote, and sometimes not to just hide in a blanket fort with my books all day. I am so grateful for the authors who wrote all those books that kept us going, and I am so grateful for you, dear readers, for reading my books and being here and for all your kind words. They've brightened my year more than I can say. 

I'm determined that 2018 will be a better year than 2017 was. I'm holding on to hope that it will be—I'm fighting for it to be and a lot of other people are too and that gives me more hope because there is still good in the world. So, yes, the word will be hope this year. 

Now I need to get back to work. The last words I wrote last night were a first kiss. Seems like a lovely way to end the year, and now I can pick up right there in a new one.

I hope 2018 brings you joy and love and wonderful new stories to discover and all the good things in the world. Happy New Year!
