It seems that with the passing of each year, I’m on some kind of time warp.  When I was younger, it took foreeeever, it seemed, for things to happen.  To go on a trip.  To get to the weekend.  For a class to end, etc. etc.

A curious thing happened after finishing my education: Time appeared to compress.  Events whizzed by and, at times, I’ve felt like I was standing next to an interstate, watching those events fly by me as if cars on that highway.

2014 was no exception.

The most memorable event to me for the year, of course, was finally finishing Ghost of the Argus, the fifth book in my Corrosive Knights series.

This was the book that I had been working toward, the book that tied all the major stings together and brought all the principle characters I’d introduced in the other books of the series together.  Because the book was so important to the series and was the culmination of so many things, I took extra time working on it.  Normally it takes me roughly a year to finish a book.  This one took two.

As pleased as I am with the book, I’m equally happy to have finally gotten it out of my hair.  The fact is that writing can be very hard work, and Ghost of the Argus was very much that.

Equally memorable in this past year was the fact that I was once again contacted regarding the possibility of creating a feature film out of one of my works.  While it is way too early in the process to get too excited about what may be, it makes me incredibly proud to know that things I have created at the very least garner interest outside my own four walls.

What does 2015 have in store?

No one knows, of course, though I hope this years doesn’t pass by quite so quickly.  It would be nice to actually sit back and savor things.

To all a Happy New Year and to all my best wishes in the coming year.  Hope its a good one!
