Well, folks, it's 2016. Holy crap.
Any big plans?
I've got all sorts of things planned for at least the first part of the new year, although I'm not as sure what's happening later on. Let's see...
I've got the next Baba Yaga novella, WICKEDLY EVER AFTER coming out on January 19th (you can keep track by checking the release tracker at the top of the blog). I have to admit I am really excited about this story, since it shows us what happens to Barbara and Liam and little Babs after the end of Wickedly Dangerous. Plus, Berkley is only pricing it at $1.99, which is great, don't you think?
Then just a couple of weeks later, the next Baba Yaga novel will be out! WICKEDLY POWERFUL is the story of Bella, the third of the Baba Yagas, and I can't wait until you meet her on February 2nd!
I'm not planning to travel as much in 2016 as I did in 2015, but I will be in Daytona Beach in early February for Coastal Magic. I hope I get to see a few of you there, since I hear from my friends who have gone in previous years that it is a lot of fun. Plus, you know, beach in Florida in February :-) I'll also be at Albacon in Albany, March 4th through 6th.
Mostly though, I'll be working on the first two Rider books for the next trilogy in the Baba Yaga series (it will be called The Broken Rider series, but it is still a continuation of the ongoing story, and the Babas will make appearances in each Rider book). And hopefully finding some time for fun and rest and you know, going to the gym because of all the holiday cookies...
What do you plan to do in 2016? Anything fun or interesting?
I thought I'd kick us off with the first giveaway of the year. It's a two-parter, in fact. There is a main prize pack, featuring a calendar with pictures of my cats and my books, plus signed copies of Wickedly Dangerous and Wickedly Wonderful, a fun stuffed dragon, and some of the usual swag (bookmarks, postcards, etc.) And then there will be a second, smaller prize, with a smaller version of the calendar, a signed copy of Everyday Witchcraft, and some more swag.
Main prize pack! |

Happy New Year, and may 2016 bring you everything you desire and more than you could ever have dreamed of...

I hope to write more this year. I need to finish the many stories and books I have started but never completed. This is the year to wrap things up and move on.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!
DeleteI plan to change, to be who I am and now who people expect it to be. I am planning on writing for pagan magazines, selling my jewellery, doing NaNoWriMo and winning and hopefully/maybe start the witchy book I want to write. I am also going to be doing a Fellowship of Isis course, a Druidry course AND giving a talk at one of my favourite events.
ReplyDeleteIn short, busy. I'm going to be busy in 2016!
You go! This all sounds great!
DeleteI have been working towards major changes in mu life. They take time so will continue that progress into the new year. Life never stands still.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all proceeds well!
DeleteYay! New contest! Go! Go! Go!
ReplyDeleteI know what YOU want for 2016! Lots more contests :-)
DeleteMore blog posts and writing is my wish. Such a pleasure to open to a page in 'Goddess" and bingo...just what I needed. Thanks for all you do. Much Success to you and yours in 2016!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you find it helpful. Goddess is still my favorite book.
DeleteI'm going to continue to get my health back!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I hope! Good luck!
DeleteNo real resolutions. Maybe lose a few pounds to make myself feel better. Mostly try not to over-react to small stuff or be over-sensitive. Don't sweat the petty stuff & don't pet the sweaty stuff! ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan to me!
DeleteJust pre ordered Wickedly Ever After. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah!
DeleteIf I had an open bank account I would definitely pre-order both but I don't. I'll have to wait until they come out and buy them then. I still have a little money left on the Amazon gift card I got for the holidays and your books are always top choices (I got Veiled Magic and The Witch's Broom with it as soon as I got home that night). The biggest thing I have planned it to get my driver's license this year. I never needed it before as I live within three blocks of several different bus routes. I'll make sure to post reviews of your books as I finish them.

Yay for getting your driver's license! And no worries, I know you'll read the books when you can.
DeleteI am wishing for less stress and worries this year. Thanks for another wonderful contest :)
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!
DeleteNothing is planned for this year so far but I hope to read more!
ReplyDeleteReading more is always a good plan.
DeleteRelief, from so much pain and sadness and burden that piled up in 2015. I'm ready to lay it all down, to rise up out of the ashes of a year that seemed determined to end me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're looking forward and not back--I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*
DeleteI'm excited to read the new book(s)
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteMe too :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your books so much I will order the new one as soon as it comes out I cant wait yaay
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing who wins this very cool give away :-)
