Why do a year end review? Primarily because I have a lot to be thankful for. Which is code for: I have a lot of people to thank.

Since I started this self-publishing ride at the end of April, the eight months that followed have yielded a number of stories and, more importantly, reader encounters that have blessed me in significant ways.

As 2014 comes to a close, I want to thank my readers for their support and encouragement. It is for you that I spend all these long, sometimes frustrating, occasionally (OK, usually) tiring, always fulfilling hours. Thanks in particular to those of you who have taken the time to write a review or forward me your feedback. Your connection to my writing encourages me to keep going!

I leave you with a pictorial, somewhat silly mosaic, wishing you a Happy New Year and looking forward to many more meetings through story-telling.
