Happy New year!!!
This is the day we all make those New Year’s resolutions. Whether it be to lose weight, set a goal of some kind, or whatever. Mine is to quit smoking. I’ve been a smoker for many years and I know it’s not going to be easy, but I’m hoping that by posting my intentions here that you’ll hold me accountable. If you’re a praying person, please pray for the Lord to give me the strength to see this through. Thank you.
I’m currently working on the seventh book in my Thunder Creek Ranch series, Kidnapped! The Search for Casey, Lynne’s story. As with the other books in this series, the family bonds tighten as they work together to bring Casey back home. Then it’s on to #8, James Grayson’s story and #9, Abby Kerrigan’s story. The series will end this year with A Manning Christmas in late fall. A total of 10 books.
Now, on to the blog hop. It runs from today through January 4th. We have several blogs linked for your convenience. So hop around and get your entries in. The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have to win. P.S. Don’t just copy and paste or you may be disqualified. Answer the questions and best of luck.
Enter for a chance to win Evernight’s GRAND PRIZE of an iPad Mini and my blog prize, a copy of my award-winning romantic suspense, Bad Boy Blake, by answering one or both of these questions (be sure to include your email address to be eligible to win):
1/ It’s been suggested that I write another series featuring the Manning family…Thunder Creek-The Next Generation. What do you think?
2/ What are your resolutions for the coming year?

I have some of your books on my TBR list. I’d say start a new series or make the new series seemingly independent from the other. It’s hard to start reading a series when you feel you have to read a bunch of books to catch up.
As to goals I want to stay on my daily exercise program.
