The downer list may be short, but they were difficult things. well, we'll call them 'Family issues,' which are still present with have affected me emotionally. I had 'issues' with my church again and was removed from teaching the Sunday school class. We went on vacation! That hardly ever happens. Some struggles, but good for the most part. my daughters are in 9th-, and 5th-grade and seem to be doing well in school. I think I became a little more confident in myself. A brand new baby came into the family! (Not mine. I paid my mortgage every month!! (I am thankful to have a house to live in) I came up with 3 more ideas for novels. I outlined a writing plan with goals for the next 8 novels! EIGHT!!

I wrote more consistently than EVER before in my career I went to several conventions and met MANY adoring fans, NEW friends, and authors I'd conversed with online but hadn't met in person yet. I met THE Cody Kennedy! In the flesh :) I published TWO novels, an audio book, and JOCK 1 was translated into Italian and Spanish! I was talking to my friend yesterday saying how 'I hope 2016 will be a better year because 2015 was a bit.' I stopped and my friend finished with 'weird.' That was the exact word I had to describe it and I was thankful to not be alone in my assessment. Many of you saw the new year arrive WAY before me, but this was the first time in a long time I stayed up until after midnight.Ģ015 was an odd year. I have some narrators I LOVE to listen to. They have samples of everything! Some narrators you may fall in love with, some you may cringe. If you haven't tried audio, visit audible and listen to some samples. Since I discovered I can listen to more books than read, I joined and I look forward to choosing 2 books every month! So far, I haven't actually listened to 2 books EVERY month, but the option is there. I can use my credit on a $17.95 book, on down to a $4.95 book. This means, that for a certain amount of $$ per month, I get two credits to buy audio books.

I am a member on the lowest level (I think) of 2 credits per month. (Those are members of audible.) When you are a member, you have different levels of membership. Then there is a discounted price for audible listeners. When produced through ACX, they are the ones who set the price in relation to the length. You can hop over to Audible and listen to an excerpt of Chris Patton narrating Misplaced Affection.
