It’s been a very happy Christmas at Horton HQ this
year. There hasn't been any snowfall on our part of Scotland over the holidays so it's not been quite as seasonally scenic - but it has made it so much easier and safer for
family and friends to visit us at the cottage for a few days. The only thing we have been
without is an internet connection, but I’m happy to say that seems to have been
resolved and so, as we say goodbye to 2012 and welcome in the New Year, I can now
take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU for all your support in visiting my
blog over the past year: for commenting and sharing, for taking part in my
virtual parties and for generally being great fun friends. Thank you also for
buying my ebooks and thank you to those who took the time to read and review
them.
In the past few days, you may have noticed there has
been an exciting flurry of Book Reviewers and Book Bloggers listing their ‘Top
Reads of 2012’ and I’m thrilled to have
two of my novels nominated.
‘Reaching
for the Stars’ has been nominated on Dizzy C’s Little Book Blog as one of her ‘Top Reads of
2012’ and ‘How Do You Voodoo?’ is
listed on Love Reading Love Books as one of her ‘Five Star Reviewed Books of 2012’. While Bagpipes & Bullshot has remained a popular choice with readers
over the holiday period by being my bestselling title. As an author, I couldn’t
be more excited about such high praise, which has filled me with joy and enthusiasm to
get back to my Works In Progress for 2013 ASAP!
I recapped over my blogging year in my last post here
but today, the magazine style website over at loveahappyending.com, which I’m involved
with both as an author and an editor, has also put together a sparkling roundup -
which shows how much has been achieved over the past twelve months by this
fabulous collective of authors, readers and publishers. You can click HERE to
pop over and catch up with loveahappyending.com.
I’m
so looking forward to seeing what 2013 has in store for us all and as we bring in the New Year, I want to wish you a very Happy Hogmanay and
best wishes for the coming year!
Love, Janice xx
