The time of year when ...

... I leave my computer, my writing and my books, is already here again.  It seems as though I last wrote a similar message only weeks ago.  But when I think about everything that has happened this year, I feel that a whole lifetime must have passed by!  I've journeyed to new places, and I've handled good news and bad.  I've ventured into new writing territory, and there has been some sadness along the way, too - not least the decision by my publisher to quit the business.  The future without Darkstroke Books looks bleak, so I'm hopeful that the New Year will bring some surety.

This will be my last post for 2024.  My next post will be on January 14th, 2025.  But, as always, there will be a little surprise for all readers at Twixmas, so please remember to check back then!

Thank you for reading and following my blog.  I hope the various articles have entertained and informed.

Thank you to all the readers who have one or more of my books on their bookshelves or Kindles.  I really appreciate the time you've taken to read my simple little stories.  If you left me a review, thank you again.  Your feedback is invaluable.

Finally, if you celebrate Christmas—and I always do—may your Christmas be a very happy one.  May I also wish everyone a peaceful New Year.
