Dear Readers:

It’s hard to believe that I wrote my last newsletter when we were still in the thick of the holiday season! Did the holidays fly past this year or what? I definitely need to make more time to smell the roses, or should I say, gingerbread cookies...
As much as I am missing the excessive holiday baking (yes, I think I baked something sinfully sweet most days of December!) I am so looking forward to everything this new year has in store. By now we’re well into the month of January (can you believe it?!) and it’s always around this time that I begin to look back on those resolutions I made for myself on New Year’s Eve. Have I kept them? Forgotten them? Somehow it always seems a bit easier to make resolutions than to carry through with them. But this year I feel determined, and have you guys to thanks for that. It has been so great to hear the things some of you have shared on my facebook page about what you’re looking forward to in 2012. You guys are what keep me inspired!
In 2012 I’m looking forward to connecting with old friends, building new friendships, exploring new places, and spending some quality time reading, and, I should say, writing. Something else that I’m really looking forward to this year, is the rerelease of my novel,TABLE OF FIVE. TABLE OF FIVE is the story of two people, Lily Robinson and Sean McGuire, who have nothing in common. Lily guards her independent lifestyle with a ferocity that hides a fear of love and the pain it can bring. Sean has always been a rolling stone, making his own way. But with the sudden death of a couple close to them both, the two become joined in grief and a knowledge that they must step up and care for the orphaned children of their friends. With little more than hope and dedication, these five embark on a cross-country road trip filled with the ups and downs, the joys and frustrations that make up a family. Along the way, Lily and Sean and these troubled children will discover that even when you’ve lost everything, love still remains.
Whether you’ve read TABLE OF FIVE before, or will be opening its cover for the first time, I’m excited to share it with you when it’s rereleased on January 31st. (If January 31st is too long to wait, I hope you’ll pre-order your copy today!)
I hope this January you will find some time to dive into TABLE OF FIVE, take a few moments to think back on your resolutions and the determination with which you made them, and above all, allow yourself to soar.
