With the conclusion of my Christmastime ghost story Nightfeather: Ghosts yesterday, this blog is going off its regular schedule until February 1, 2014. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any posts, just that they won’t follow a regular schedule, let alone the daily schedule of my most recent story.

I expect to put up two more posts before the end of the year. One will be a review of the past year on the blog. The other? Eh, if it comes off, you’ll see.

I have a number of book reviews I’ve been meaning to write up and post. I expect many of them will appear in January, 2014.

Writing Nightfeather: Ghosts at the rate of a chapter a day took a bit out of me. It kept me up some nights plotting the next chapter, or next few chapters, even though I knew where the story had to end. (If I have to be an insomniac, I might as well be one for enjoyable reasons!) So I don’t expect to be posting a new story until February 1, 2014. As of today, I can’t tell you what it will be because I simply don’t know. Sorry about that.

And that’s the blog news for now!
