It Was A Very Good Year…
Some years are better than others. This year has been a good one for me, and I’m grateful.
This has been my first full year of writing full time. After a four year run of teaching police leadership, I finished up in December of 2017. It was a rewarding experience, and I feel good about what I was able to offer, and even better about the amazing people I met along the way.
Spending all of 2018 as a full time writer,I hoped for a more prolific output. I feel pretty good about the results…

– Wrong Place, Write Crime is up to twenty-three episodes, and in 2018, I interviewed some great writers and had a lot of fun doing it.
The above doesn’t include some cover re-designs (such as new ones for all of River City, as well as The Last Horseman), research work, editing other writers’ work (a couple of which I think are going to be huge), bookstore appearances, some stuff I probably forgot, and so forth. Still, 2018’s list is pretty good.
On a personal note, I started actually drawing my police retirement, so that’s cool .
I am still married to the girl I fell in love with when I was ten, and it’s a relationship that just keeps getting better.
I attended my first Bouchercon, which means I got to make a number of new friends, and see people in person that I’ve only every known online.
I got to play recreational hockey again, on a beautiful outdoor rink in Bend, Oregon.
My second grandson was born, and he’s beautiful.
I spent the better part of a week in December in Cabo with my best friend and his family.
And these are just some of the highlights. I think I can safely say that 2018 has been a great year, and looking ahead to 2019, I feel like it has the potential to be even better.
I want to say thank you to those of you who are reading this, because in all likelihood that means you’re one of my friends or readers who have made most of what I just wrote about possible. Thank you!
