Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hannukkah, and Winter Solstice to all my fans and friends. Thank you so much for the Christmas card explosion from everyone. If you send me a card, be sure to let me know you are a fan. Have a grand holiday, and may your New Year be a blessed and fruitful one for you and your family. Now onto the news:
To begin with, a short farm update: the puppies’ eyes are open; our entire wellhead froze over and took Dan two days to repair, and the weather out there is more than just frightful. We are adding a Bassett hound to the menagerie; why, I do not know. These things just happen.
As far as writing updates, I’ve changed editors; this was an issue for a couple of years. I have a new cover designer, and I like her work very much. I am busy working on my promotion plan for the year, and as soon as it’s set up, I shall share it with you.
I would love it if you would answer all or some of these three questions to give me some guidance:
First, which books would you like to see put on as specials? Of course, I always special the new books during their official launch; but there are 77 others in my back list to choose from, and I’d like to see which ones you’d prefer I put on special this year. You can go to my author page on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/J-Traveler-Pelton/e/B07837X14F/ref=aufs_dp_fta_dsk
for a complete list of my books.
Second, I have three new trilogies I am working on: a new sci-fi, a new mystery series, and possibly another book in the Hidden America Series and Psycoms. There will be a new self-help, and I am resisting writing more in the Social Worker series, although many of you love them. I’m in the collecting recollections stage on that one. I write 10 books a year, so there is space for two more if anyone has any suggestions on what they’d like to see me work on next.
Lastly, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve communications between my readers and me, I’d be glad to hear them. These are the sites I communicate on now:

I am always looking for good ARC readers; if you’d like to join that group, let me know and I can start downloading free books to you. ARC readers read, get books free, submit a review on Amazon, and then let me know so I can send another book. One of my ARCs finished 15 books last year and wrote a review for each and every one! You need to tell me which genre you like best. I do NOT write erotica, horror or political books. Thank you to all who left a review.
And finally, I normally take the first month of the year off and rearrange things, so the webpage will be getting a facelift, the production timeline is set, the email lists gone over, among other things.
I appreciate all those who like and share my FB posts, my blog, and my newsletter with their friends. I may need to run a contest on that in the new year. Stay warm, keep active, and enjoy reading.
Blessings and peace in the new year!
