Year in Review

I'm coming up on a full year of promoting my books and thought it would be nice to take a moment and recognize all of the people who have offered their advice, reviews and guidance throughout the past year. I believe in showing gratitude and there have been so many wonderful people who have kept me going over the past year despite many personal struggles.

I'd also like to extend thanks to anyone out there who has read the books and to those who have added positive reviews to Amazon and Barnes & Noble's websites. I hope I haven't missed anyone. All of your support has meant so much. I'm hoping that this next year will hold just as much fun and excitement as the last. I'm going to be taking a couple of months off to recharge and I plan to be back "on tour" by the end of October. I'll be posting here regularly and I hope to finish my third book over the next couple of months. So, stay tuned for more from the Rona Shively Stories plus some special projects that I'm working on.

Until next time...
