I just want to get all sappy for a moment and thank everyone for following me here, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, etc. For being interested in me and my silly dream. For asking about my books. For laughing at my bookstore horror stories. I value your encouragement in same way I value cute kittens, funny-looking chickens, and anything made of chocolate. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year honey!
See you on the other side 😉

Aww Happy New Year! I think it’s already “the other side” over there.
Well it definitely is now! It’s 2am lol 😉

I bought the book “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” for my almost 16 year old son. Think it’s appropriate for that age group? He’s extremely bright and has a bigger vocab than me, and I don’t suspect the violence will be anything he hasn’t seen on TV. Just curious.
Interesting search terms to say the least!
Sure. I don’t recall any sex scenes or gratuitous cursing. I think he’ll be fine. It was a great book. 90x better than the movie. Don’t even bother with the movie, in fact.
Yeah, I saw the movie. Wasn’t the greatest by a long shot. Thanks for the info about the book. I’m sure he’ll like it.
Haha, quite possibly the last greatest understatement of the year.
You’re welcome. I hope he enjoys it.

What?!? It is almost 2013?!? Why didn’t anyone tell me?
I’m so sorry! I guess we were too busy writing our end-of-the-year posts and making jello shots. 😛
Do you know . . . I’ve never had a jello shooter. It is never too late.
Shut up! (In my teenage voice) Aww, I wish I could mail you some. Haha. I’m making almost 200 in 8 different flavors for my husband’s work holiday party.
With 200 shooters, surely you have one to spare for this late bloomer?
Of course! Live close? Haha.
