Happy Anniversary!

It's been a year since my novel, The Kindred, came out and the journey has been nothing short of a thrill ride. It's made me new friends, introduced new readers to the spiritual world, and showed me that I know nothing at all about marketing books.  It's been hit and miss and a lot of angst! But looking back, I wouldn't trade the experience for the world.  Along the way, I learned so much about writing, myself, and the power of spirit to send the book to the other side of the world to be read.

When it comes to friends, I learned that I have a lot more of them than I thought.  They bought my book, even though I know that many of them don't like to read paranormal romance books  They did it for me, and for that, I'll be eternally grateful.  As to those readers who read it on a whim, (or out of curiosity), I'll always be grateful to you for E-Mailing me your comments about the book.  I'm glad to say that no one who read it, disliked it.  I can only hope that you'll be as appreciative of my next book.

As to writing, I've learned that I have what it takes to pursue a writing career.  I can sit down and write anything, and I can re-write it when asked to.  (I don't even grouse or whine when asked to do it anymore--glory be, hallelujah).  I've also found that keeping in touch with other writers makes my writing better.  We've become kindred spirits when it comes to putting words on paper, and we share the same publishing concerns, story blocks, and angst over the end results. 

As to the spiritual world, you know my thoughts.  I believe that spirit always guides us where we need to go (if we let it) and spirit always arranges the right person, at the right time, in the right place--to help us get where we're supposed to go.  It goes without saying, I'm in awe of spirit and its power to move people, places, and things, so that I can attain my dreams.  It's been a fabulous year, all in all, and I have spirit to thank for it.  Sooooo...thank you, spirit.  You are the truest, bestest friend.
