So Much For That New Year's Resolution

They come and go faster than the wind...or so it seems. I promised to post a new blog consistently in 2013.
Blew that one.
Oh, well, there is always next year.

The new year has started off at a blazing pace. I can't say I have been writing as much as I would have liked. I can't say I have been traveling as much as I would have liked (not at all). I can't even say I have had as much down time as I would have liked. All I can say is that I have been busy. Sometimes, that's all we can be. Sometimes, life gets in the way of what we want to do and all we have left is what we must do. As frustrating as that can be for all of us, it still be brings a sense of satisfaction. The satisifaction that whatever was needed to be done, we accomplished and whoever needed us to perform those tasks were able to accomplish their's because of us.
Wow, I'm babbling...

Okay, now for something different.

I am excited to tell you that "Cornerstone," the next book in the Phantom Squad saga is in editing and will be released in early summer. I am very excited about this book. It has a some new characters in it that I really enjoyed writing as well as most of the old ones. Soon, I will start posting exerpts for your to check out.
I have also been writing another book, "SIN," with all new characters and a much harder 'feel' to it. The characters, the language, and the plot line are much darker. The more of it I write, the more I'm feeling uncomfortable. I hope it's just a feeling of being out of my comfort zone, but I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Here's a new resolution. Don't give in to feelings of discomfort. Widen your comfort zone and start living in a bigger box.
I will have to give it a try.

Until next time,
J.M.
