Today I’m heading off to Sydney for a happy reunion with friends and family, which is why this blog will be quiet until the new year. My dear old dad turns 80 very soon so there’s a party for him in addition to the usual Christmas and new year festivities.

There have been some interesting discussions lately on some publishing-business topics in my Twitter and Facebook circles, which I will develop in new posts here in 2014.

In the meantime, thanks for visiting, reading and commenting on this site. I really would love to know your writing and publishing questions, so please drop me a line in the comments or via email. I’ll respond in early January. Have a wonderful holiday season and good health in the year ahead.
