Ah, the new year. It’s supposed to be a time of fresh starts, but this year already seems determined to kick me in the teeth. Why exactly?
I have no idea.
Perhaps I did something wrong in 2017 and the gods feel I have to atone for it. Thanks gods. Remind me again exactly what it is I did so I don’t do it again?
To many, it’s been a long and painful year. An awful lot of really well loved celebrities have passed away. There were also writing friends who should not have been taken so soon. There have been some good things this year, though, as this list describes.

First titles in both their respective series, I was glad to get these books finally out there for people to read. Plus, the publishing process is extremely exciting to go through.
Of course, this leaves me grateful to both Gayla Drummond and the other members of Katarr Kanticles Press.
