And I think I speak for just about everyone when it comes to 2016… thank goodness that’s over with!

I won’t belabor the point here, but the last few months of the year were pretty difficult for Team Esdeem, or to put it in a more descriptive light, October to December sucked harder than two black holes merging. Though the merger of two black hols produces some of the most energetic explosions in the entire universe, and– oh, enough. You get the idea, and I’m going to try to start 2017 on a positive note.

I’m currently writing this instead of getting precious sleep before the last day of Izumicon 2017, and if we met at the Wild Hybrid table and you somehow still pointed your browser here, welcome! If you’re here wondering when I’d next update or if I’d finally been fed to the guinea pig hordes(the cutest death ever to actually appear on film, by the way), then this is a partial answer. Now let me give you the second part.

Starting on Tuesday, January 10th, I’ll post the first chapter of Absolution. A few of you might recognized the name as a Path story advertised in the Third Rule book, touted to come out in Fall 2014(HA!). Instead of sitting on it, I’m going to start sharing the story here, and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

So whether you’re a long time visitor or a new friend from Izumicon, take a moment to look around, leave feedback and follow me on the customary gaggle of social media if you’re so inclined. I don’t know what 2017 will bring, but I hope it’ll at least bring more writing from yours truly! It might not be on a regular schedule, but my goal is three simple words: Just Keep Writing.
