Happy New Year!

 Happy New Year's Eve, dear readers!

I hope 2011 has been a great year for you. It certainly has for me. I started this blog in January and it has expanded into a place where authors come to talk, writers write in the #ThursThreads flash fiction challenge, and snippets are posted for Six Sentence Sunday. I've learned so much from my dear friends Cara Michaels, Tom Keller, Shannan Albright, Morgan Kearns, Nichole Severn, and Nara Malone, and have met new friends Wakefield Mahon, Shoshanna Evers, JoAnn Ross, Robby Hilliard, @LupusAnthropos, and Madison Woods.

The greatest thing that happened to me just yesterday was...I submitted my vampire tale to Evernight Publishing and they accepted it for publication. It has a tentative release date of March 2012 and you shall see Siobhan Muir in digital splendor! Well, my story, at least. ;)

It has been a remarkable year for me and this is a dream come true. This is only the first of many stories coming from me and you will see vampires, werewolves, dragons, goblins, ghosts, and SEALs from me next year.

So here's to you, dear readers and writers, and remember: Never give up. Never surrender! Happy reading and Happy New Year. :)
