Happy New Year!

It seems a bit strange to be wishing you a happy new year in April, but I was just looking over the events I've taken part in this year so far, and I realized that, in the main, for me as a writer, it has been a happy new year.   The UniCom class I taught on my book was a hoot!  I met some great people, was very well received, and I've already been invited back for next semester!  My book reading at the John Muir Library was fantastic, attended by forty people of all ages!  In fact, every book reading has been well received, and I've realized that this is one of the most rewarding parts of being a writer.  Reading a story and having the attendees laugh at the appropriate spots, and tear up at the appropriate spots is a joy!  I was featured in an article in The River Town Times on March 1st, and will actually 'grace the cover' (Note the quotes.  I doubt any picture of me 'graces' anything.) of a magazine this month!  The book continues to sell well, and I've had enough time to pretty much finish writing the second installment of The Principal Chronicles!

All good stuff!  So.  A Happy New Year, Everyone!
