Happy 2024 everyone. I hope that you are all having a great start to the new year. I want to share with you my year in review. See where we’ve been and where we are going.
I launched Mu; Legend of a Lost City with my new publisher; Spectrum Books.
For the third year in a row, I had one of my short stories; Thanksgiving Pie shared in the BAQWA Presents anthology.
I released Conspiracy-A New World (Book 3) on audiobook thanks to the talented Steve Connor.
I finished my next novel, a haunting story about a neighborhood tormented by angry spirits.
I began work on my newest story, set in an alternate reality where airships sail the skies.
I continued work on the fourth novel in my Sci-Fi series A New World.
I was a guest at the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce (March 2023) and the Milpitas Chamber of Commerce (Dec 2023).
I participated in the Hayward Lit Hop with the Bay Area Queer Writers Association.
I attended several Pride Events this year: Placer Pride, Davis Pride, Sacramento Pride, and Modesto Pride.
I was a speaker at BayCon 2023.
I continued to meet and interact with several authors, who remind me of why I write.
With respect to my book sales, 2023 was my best year! Thank you to everyone who has continued to buy and support my work.
2023 wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. This year I also lost an aunt, several co-workers and a dear friend from high school.
As to not end this year in review on a low note, my husband and I celebrated 25 years together, and we marked this milestone with a cruise. We experienced the first ever Pride Night at Disneyland and we also enjoyed several other visits to the Happiest Place on Earth.
As with years past, we got together with several wonderful friends and family who we don’t get to see near enough, but we enjoy the time with them when we do get together.
For 2024 I’m planning on more in person and virtual events and I’m hoping to release at least one new work this year.
I’m sure there are several events that I’ve missed, however 2023 was a good year and here’s to 2024 being even better.
Happy New Year!
