2012 in Review

Like every year, 2012 had its ups and downs. On the upside, we survived yet another "end of the world" catastrophe. Sorry, Mayans. Better luck next time. On the downside, I only published 4 things this year. With the increased workload at my EDJ, I simply could not keep up the same production schedule I had in 2011. For that, I truly apologize to all my readers. I can't promise to do better next year, but I will try to release at least that many books, if not more.

The Jane gift pack will disappear on January 2nd.
