Yep, I'm Back.

A few months ago I dismantled my old blog. Bleh…gone. And what better time to start anew? New year. New blog.

2011 was as good to me as a bowl of high fiber. Crosswire won two big awards, finaled in the Spurs and was named an honor book by a prestigious group of South Carolina librarians. And my two Gingerbread Man PBs were in a race to the lowest Amazon rankings.

I also saw two milestone graduations. In May, Dori received her Master’s in International Affairs and will soon be working for the State Department. And a couple of weeks ago, Adrienne got her BA in Media & Communications. After a whirlwind summer, interning at The Daily Show, she’s ready to conquer the world.

And me? I just got a new book contract. (We’ll ignore the weight gain!!!)

2011 brought one sad, but major change. I recently ended my twelve-year relationship with my agent. Within that twelve year period, she saw me grow from a whiny wannabe to a published author. And I saw her grow from a newbie agent to a publishing powerhouse. But within twelve years people change. Goals change. Life changes.

But enough somberness and reflection. Hey…2012! I’m ready.

So? What do you predict for the coming year?
