As 2009 comes to an end, I’m shocked at how fast the time flew by me. Was I paying attention? Did I miss something? Whew! I’m tired just thinking about it…

This year boasted the release of my first non-fiction book, as well as the release of a compilation I was asked to be a part of, a very busy speaking schedule, book tour, more TV appearances and radio interviews than I care to count, and my kids’ first competitive swim meets. On top of that? Well, I’m thrilled and excited to share that Kayla and I were just offered a three-book deal from B&H Publishers for our romantic suspense series set in Alaska! The first one releases in 2011 – so be sure to watch for details!

That leads to my next news 🙂
As things gear up for this new series, Kayla and I will be blogging about our writing journey. She’ll blog, and I’ll blog, and we’ll even video/blog together 🙂 – should be LOTS of fun. Another exciting new thing: Kayla will be starting a new blog soon for teens and kids, (well, you “older” folks will enjoy it too!) and pursuing her own series for kids. So, if you have any young people in your life, be sure to share the news with them – it will be a separate web-site (kaylawoodhouse.com)- so let’s get the word out! As soon as we have it live, I will let you all know.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed holiday season as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. As always, I love to hear from you – and Kayla and I would LOVE to hear any ideas you may have for the blog or websites.

Thank you all for stickin’ with us – and keep on reading!
