Thanks and Best Wishes to You All

I’ve been blogging here for less than a year. I’ve had a great time, love my blog sisters and greatly admire them. But unfortunately I have to give this up as a regular gig. It’s all about balance in my life as an author, a person, and most importantly, as a mother.

I have two daughters, one is 13 and the other is 11 and we are all going through a bit of a rough patch right now. Of course, I can’t go into specifics. But all things lead back to the fact that I need to focus on them for a while until everything is on more of an even keel. So I am dropping what I can.

I still have plenty of other obligations and commitments to fulfill and I do hope you will keep in touch by checking out my blog every once in awhile and I hope my blog sisters will have me back as a guest from time to time. I will still be blogging at Killer Characters, as well. It’s a monthly deadline, rather than a weekly one, and can be managed more easily.

I have a new book coming out at the end of December—SCRAPPED. Before that, I’ll be attending the Bouchercon conference in Cleveland, where I’ll be moderating a panel and teaching a class “How to Make Your Own Scrapbook of Secrets.”

I want to thank the writers of Killer Hobbies for this opportunity—and thank YOU, the loyal readers. It’s been fun. I wish you all the best and much happiness.
