Goodbye 2014 and welcome to 2015


Hello my friends!!!

I hope you left 2014 safely and got into 2015 with a bang!!!
As you might have noticed, it's been a bit quiet around here lately. There's a reason for that.

2014 was the year of change for me - in many ways. I tried, and failed to pass my exam in pharmacology. Since I failed, I couldn't continue as a veterinarian student. Yes, it hurt. Being a vet was my dream since I was a little girl and I've been working very hard for it. For a few days I fell into a dark hole.

But being the person I am, I crawled out, dusted myself off and got back into life again. I'm a fighter, have always been.

2014 was the year where I found out what makes me happier than school; I love being a post(wo)man. When I got the job almost two years ago, I never thought I would love it the way I do, but surprise, surprise, I do. SO when my boss called me and offered me a full time position at a different post office, I accepted. Currently I'm on contract for a few months at the time, and my workstation switches depending on where they need me. But I love being a postie, the freedom, the (mostly) happy customers, the fresh air biting my cheeks, the sun on my skin, the birds singing. Yes, right now it's cold and wet, it's Denmark, it's winter - we either get a shitload of snow or loads of rain. Right now I prefer the rain, because it's easier to drive in than a boatload of snow. Getting stuck in snow isn't something I'm keen on experiencing.

2014 was also the year where I finally started writing on my own. After being ridiculed as a child  for my writing, I stopped when I was around ten. A very dear friend to me *cough - Sarah - cough* gave me the courage to not only write a story that was close to my heart, but to submit it too.

And guess what?

It got accepted. Not only that one, but my second short story got accepted too! So I was published TWICE last year with some absolutely fabulous, amazing and super talented authors!

My first story was a part of the Dark Light Four anthology, The Beginning, and is also the prequel to my first series. I'm still writing on it, but am closing in on the end.
You can check out Dark Light Four on Goodreads HERE, or you can swing by Amazon HERE 

The second anthology I was a part of was an erotic one from Hot Ink Press; Naughty Bedtime Stories: First Taste. My story is The Rescue, about what can happen when a cop has to make a late night stop at a vet clinic.
You can find Naughty Bedtime Stories: First Taste on Goodreads, or jump over to Amazon to take a peek.

Sooo.... Having a full time job, two kids, a husband that has full time job too, very little family (actually none) to get help from, writing and making jewelry... My blog has suffered. My priorities have changed since I started this blog. I really don't have the time to run a full time blog on my own anymore.

So.. In the time to come you will begin to see changes. Changes that will make this not only my home away from home, but my place as an author as well.
There will still be reviews, interviews, cover reveals and lots of other stuff, but on a smaller scale. You will begin to see more personal blog posts from me.

It's a new year, a new adventure and I'm hoping you will follow me on my journey!

HUGS
