2020 – The Year to Write
The end of 2019 started out with some major catastrophes to be honest; my father in law had to have heart surgery and our youngest son had a serious accident that landed him in a coma for 2 days and in hospital for 9 days. So… 2020 snuck up on me when I was least prepared for it.
Having said that, both my father in law and our son are recovering (after some very sketchy moments) and we have made some major changes to the way we run our water sports business; changes that will allow me more time to spend writing the stories I love, for my small, but dedicated fan base.
I might even find the time to write a couple of stand alone novels based on the research I did in Egypt last year, but first, I’ll be writing book 3 in both my current series.
I think this might be the last book in The Eternal Realm series, at least for a little while, but Ariela has many more adventures planned in The Priestess Chronicles.
I’d really love to know which series you liked most, The Eternal Realm or The Priestess Chronicles? If you have read them, maybe you could comment below to share your thoughts or put up a review on your favourite book on Amazon or your preferred ebook retailers.
For now, The Priestess Chronicles is still in KU (kindle unlimited), and will be until the end of April, so if you read on KU, now is a great time to catch up on both these stories. As I’m getting more and more sales from other ebook resellers lately, I will be removing the series from KU at the end of April.
I’m doing a little experiment with this post. I’d love to know how many books you read a year. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 or 200, if you can comment below or reply to my email newsletter (my contact page is on the blink), I’d love to know.
That’s it for now. I’m moving our water sports business over the next few weeks, so if I’m a little off grid, you’ll understand why.

i raise my reading challenge on goodreads every year and i have set this years challenge for 350 books and hope to meet this though it’s a bit steep!

That’s amazing Iana. I wish I had the time and energy to read 350 books a year. You must be a speed reader at almost one a day.

I have been really bad about getting much reading done for the past year. I think I read…maybe four or five? I have a HUGE TBR list to get through, so hopefully my life slows down a bit soon and allows more time for reading (and writing). 😉

I’m a bit like that too Marie. I read other indie authors as part of a reading club, but I struggle fitting it in between work and my own writing. Once settled this year, I’m hoping to read more too.

I really have no idea how many books I read in a year. I keep my original Kindle 3 in my car and listen via text to speech while I drive. I keep my FIRE in my bedroom to read when I’m home and I read whatever printed books that come my way (several of those last year). So at any one time, I am reading 2 to 3 books. As soon as one is finished, I start on another. Since I work full-time and have a couple of part-time jobs, I probably get more “reading” done via my car Kindle 3.

Talk to text is a great idea Sanrda. I’ve been thinking about doing my books in audible.. Maybe 2020 will be the year to give is a whirl.
