It’s the end of another year and a new one is just a few hours away. New year’s eve used to be party central, but I find now that a quiet evening at home is more my speed. I’ve picked up some champagne to toast the year (the rest goes into breakfast mimosas the next morning), and the fixings to make a New Year’s day lucky dinner of black-eyed peas and seasoned greens with roast pork.
End-of-year taking stock is normal for most people, but when you’re an author, you tend to look at what you’ve accomplished and what you have planned for the next year. One way I celebrate myself is by making a yearly poster of the books I’ve published and the anthologies I’ve been in. This is the one for 2023:
The duplicate covers for Jolene and Saoirse are because one is the contractual marketing designed cover in the shared world - and the other is the one I had made for the physical books. Next year is going to be similar, I’m sure.
Keep an eye out for these three - stories that were in anthologies that I get my rights back on today. That means they’re being released - yep - today!



And So It Begins & Luck of the Irish are novellas - and Magda’s Gift is a short story. Get all three for the price of one regular book!
Speaking of regular books - have you grabbed Jolene and Saoirse yet? They’re out in ebook, paperback, and hardcover. You can only grab the physical copies at tkeldridge.com, so head over there and see just how gorgeous these books came out!
I want to thank you all for reading my books and being a part of my journey. I wish each and every one of you a new year full of hope and promise, success and joy, and all good things. Happy New Year!
What a wonderful wrap up for 2023. Here’s to a fantastic 2024 dancing with the muse! 🖤🍾🥳🍾🖤
