Happy holidays! Blessed Solstice, Blissful
Yule, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah.
It's a busy time of year here at Serenity, but
then, what time of year isn't? With the shopping, wrapping,
hostessing, visiting, and Christmassing, it's hard to focus on
work at all. But I've managed all the same to get just a few
things done, though I'm still very far behind a couple of
deadlines, so January is going to be a month of scrambling for
me.
But in a good way. I just love the feeling of
getting it done! :)
Meanwhile, I have a brand new project on sale
now: SHAYNE ON YOU. It's a compilation of the best of my long
running advice column along with some other essays, and it's
something that anyone who enjoys my positive thinking blog posts
is going to want to have. Every question you can think of is
answered. (And if you come up with some that aren't, email me
and I'll save them for the sequel!)
Still available, and yes, still free, the
electronic edition of FAIRYTALE.
And my other backlist ebooks include
FOREVER
ENCHANTED, ANNIE'S HERO, and
WITCH MOON (short novel.) That's
five. I'm working on legalities to get the rights to other out
of print books, so if you've been asking, rest assured, I'm
working on it.
I'm hard at work too, to bring you a brand new
traditionally published paranormal romance trilogy, The Portal
Series from MIRA BOOKS. It begins with MARK OF THE WITCH in
October 2012, continues with DAUGHTER OF THE SPELL CASTER in
December 2012, and wraps up with BLOOD OF THE SORCERESS in
February 2013. In addition, there will be a juicy prequel
released just prior to book one, probably in September 2012, and
it will be FREE!
Book 1 is in the bag. Book 2 is in progress.
The prequel is in progress as we speak. Wish me luck keeping to
the grueling schedule I've set myself to get these done.
It's almost a new year, and I've become
inspired to pump up my fitness level. And don't we all do this,
get all revved up about health and fitness at new year's, and
again at the first hint of spring? But so what? I'll take any
motivation I can get, and it works, so let's just go with it,
shall we? Over the course of this year, I've tried a few other
methods for staying in shape, but nothing has worked for me the
way Weight Watchers has always done, so I'm back with the
program. Also trying a new rehab routine for the knees that
should have them stronger than ever by spring. Want to join
me? Maggie's Health and Fitness Group have a Facebook Community
now.
http://www.facebook.com/MaggiesHealthandFitness (We
still have the yahoogroup, too, but I'm thinking more of you
would prefer using FB. If you prefer an email loop, send a
blank email to this address:
maggies-health-and-fitness-subscribe@yahoogroups.com)
I hope you'll join us. New year, new
beginning, great time to give yourself a brand new start, in so
many areas of your life.
This is such a sacred time of year, and no
matter what we call our holiday of choice, the symbolism is the
same. The triumph of light over darkness, life eternal over the
illusion of death. This time when we pause between ending and
beginning anew, that brief fleeting moment when it seems, more
than ever, as if anything is possible.
Guess what? That's because it is.
Please keep up with me on my blog,
Shayne's
Shenanigans, and on my
Facebook Page.
Merry Christmas, blessed Solstice. May your
2012 be your best year yet. I know it's going to be mine!
