Happy New Year!🎉

2024 had a lot of ups and downs. I am very grateful for what last year taught me, but I am ready for what is in store for this year. So let's recap:

I released a book called "The Stand In" early last year, which was insanely fun to write. I loved how the characters were bizarre, but also authentically themselves. Evan was also based on some of my favorite K-Drama actors, specifically Rowoon, Lee Junho, and several others!

INSPIRATION!!

Finding inspiration actually came easily last year due to some K-Dramas my daughter got me to watch. I highly recommend watching Tomorrow, King the Land, and most recently I watched When the Phone Rings! These are all on Netflix and were great! (Even though I'm not a big fan of subtitles, I'd do it again!)

While inspiration was found in movies and shows, it was also found in the author community. I LOVE being able to chat with my peers about their experience in the industry. I didn't interview as many as I planned but I am forever grateful to the talented authors, readers, and editors I got to interview this past year! Check out my YouTube channel to watch those fun videos.

An extremely awesome high in 2024 was attending the final Book Bonanza. I had the honor of attending as a signing author for 3 years and this last one, I attended as my dear friend's assistant. I'm pretty good at that job! But truly, what a wonderful event as an author to get fired but and excited about your work just by simply talking to others.

However......

Some of the lows though were pretty low. I started the year with a broken knee. 10/10 do NOT recommend. But I managed to get through and honestly, I will forever be grateful for that break because I got to have one last phone call with my uncle who called to check on me when he found out. A true blessing to hear his voice once more before his untimely passing.

And then our family dog passed away toward the end of the year pretty unexpectedly. She was a great friend and we were very sad to see her go. She was our baby, but we couldn't be more thankful for the time we had with her.
