Between final exams, Christmas (our holiday of choice), completing final edits on book 2, and prepping for spring classes, the end of the year passed more quickly than I anticipated. But now that we are rolling into the new year, I have a bit of breathing room.
The first vacation task I took on was to read the book I received for Christmas: Elevation by Stephen King. Usually I am not the largest fan of shorter literature, but as is often the case with King, his shorter works are more than worth it. And as a runner, I especially enjoyed the running aspect of the story. The read was also good in that it reflected on some social issues of the day, another win for me as a King fan.
The remainder of my vacation free time will be occupied by indie reading. As a newer indie author, I am trying (more than I had in the past) to read, respond to, review, and advocate for the indie writing community. I have some reads and reviews on deck for the next week, and I am SO excited about that reading. I was never a "mainstream" person, to say the least; why should me reading be that way?
While this will not become a "review" blog -- I am not a reviewer in the strongest sense of the word -- I will be posting about what I am reading in general and what I like (or don't) about it, and hopefully more regularly than I have been posting.
The last part of my vacation will involve editing and the release of The Lady of the Glen. Thus far it has received such positive feedback, and I am excited about the upcoming release date of Jan 16.
I hope that everyone has the most amazing end of the 2018 year. May 2019 be the year you want it to be.
