New year, new focus

Well, 2013 is behind us, and what a year it was.  I had my first two books published, survived a terrible health scare, got back on my feet and managed to sell a few books.  I was also able to get back to storytelling in the fall and had good times speaking with my good friend, Renee Morrison, at several events.  While recuperating, I wrote a novel that I'm very excited about, and hoping to pitch to major publishing houses.  We'll see how that goes - lots of work to polish those query letters.  I'm also excited about a feature article that will be included in the winter 2014 edition of Alabama Heritage, a very prestigious journal.  Healthy again, I'm confident the new year will bring much success.
