New Year, New book

A belated but never the less sincere Happy New Year to you all.
It is ages since I issued my last blog. Needless to say one of my new year's resolutions is to be more organised!
I would like to point out that I have not been idle since my last post, I have finished a couple of short stories and have mapped out my second book.  As yet a publication date is not known but I will keep you posted as I progress. 
In addition preparations for the Holiday period, my full time job and family life have kept me busy over the last several weeks.  I can't believe that the time has passed so quickly.
After the hustle and bustle of December all of the planning, shopping, cooking, wrapping and eating has now passed.  Another Christmas is over and another New Year has now started.
Those that I have spoken too over the last week have all pretty much said the same thing, that whilst the start of a New Year is exciting, in some ways it can also be quite a worry as we anticipate what is ahead. All without exception stated that they felt rather emotional as the chimes of Big Ben sounded and then faded into the distance. This was a moment of true contemplation for everyone (drunk or sober).
As the fireworks in the Capital began so too thoughts of New Year resolutions popped into our heads - getting fitter and toning up, losing weight, stop smoking, drink less, control finances, get a new job etc, etc. These were just a few of those friends were willing to share.
From a personal perspective as I mentioned above I want to publish a second book and spend more time doing the enjoyable things in life which when we are without focus can be shelved or abandoned.
So folks I have picked up the proverbial gauntlet - onwards and upwards it is!
