My writing world is big. As in, not only do I write, but since many of my titles are self published, I have an entire team that helps get the ideas in my head to the final stage where it's something that you can read / listen to and enjoy.
I'm so fortunate to have an amazing community to help me in many, many ways.
Starting as usual with Nicole, my assistant extraordinaire, who definitely earns her title of Director of Publishing. She makes my books look pretty and deals with all the technology side of things and she takes care of a lot of my social media items, especially when I disappear into the mountains for weeks without internet. She also earns her title of friend. I'm so grateful that we can continue to work together and play together. This year we spent time in Portland, Oregon. We can highly recommend the river cruise with endless mimosas!
On the craft side of things, Angie Ramey is my eagle-eyed editor, and Linda my final “I can't believe those words are still missing after all this time” checker. You and I are both incredibly thankful for their skills and endless willingness to make things perfect-er.
Covers this year continued with the amazing Timberwolf Lodge series designed by Frauke at Croco Designs. I also used Damonza for the cowboy titles.
Audio books continue to be narrated by the talented Tanya Eby/Tatiana Sokolov.
My time with writing friends was more limited this year, but I need to give a shout out to Deanna Chase who is my wonderful west coast retreat friend/ food buddy/ and unending source of joy. Thanks for having my back and letting me play at your house this past year. <3
I met with other friends online, far less often than I wished, but each time was a rush of happiness and a refilling of my well.
This adventure of writing is so much richer because of the people in my life.
