Happy New Year Jan! I like that we get another go at new beginnings on January 29 with the Lunar New Year! My condolences on the loss of your friend Bob. Dedicated one’s work regularly is a great idea thanks Jan. Best wishes

Well, nothing quite as exciting as yours, but I am writing a book on creating a publishing sideline biz and avoiding pitfalls. Mentoring 5+ writers and hopefully more cowriting as well.
