Haven’t been here for a while– the past year was not my favorite. But the upcoming one promises to be better! It’ll be a full one, so I’ll be trying to squeeze in writing when I can.

And, I’m very excited to announce that the Social Skills<\/em>\u00a0audiobook is complete! It’s processing at the moment and should be available for purchase by next week. I almost thought the day would never come, as I had really bad luck with two previous narrators (the last one never did the work and broke contract). Then, just a couple of months ago, a quality narrator\/actor who would normally be out of my price range took an interest in the book and agreed to do the narration for a royalty share.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you happen to speak French, a translation of Social Skills<\/em>\u00a0(Savoir-\u00catre<\/em>) is in the works. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
