Happy New Year!
I wanted to reflect on this year and thank you for your support.
As my mom always said, “life is made of chapters,” Now I have to laugh because I am writing books with chapters.
As many of you know, it took a while to be a published author, but I soon discovered the most challenging part was to come– what I refer to as “The Beast,” marketing. So first, thank you for all your support in reading my newsletters, purchasing my books, and even writing me back. Your support is an inspiration to me.
Reflecting on this year – What a year it has been!
Books published – A Time to Fly, Charlie and the Tire Swing, and A Song of Peace!
Award from the Story Monster Magazine: A Song of Peace is “Story Monster”- approved book!
I also had the pleasure of being cohost with Dr. Jacalyn, founder, and owner of USA Global TV and Radio ™®. The shows Fashion Travel and Fitness, The Corner Bookstore, and the UK News and Culture. The people we have interviewed from around the world are fascinating, and I have m to know many of them.
I have enjoyed joining the Women in Publishing Group and Aimee Ravichandran, owner of abundantlysocial.com /Author Talk.
This year brought me my publicist Mickey Mikelson owner of Creative Edge. Mickey has helped me with “The Beast!”. I am grateful for all he has done to get my name out there.
I am grateful to my illustrators, Nancy Hoover and Judy Gaudet, who have brought my books to life with artistic talents.
I am also grateful to Aimee Warren, owner, and founder of Creative Pockets, who runs my website.
As we begin 2023, I look forward to all the new chapters life will bring. I also want to encourage you to go after your dreams. It might take a while, but goals are worth turning into a reality.
On a personal note, I am grateful for my family’s love and support.
May this year bless your family, and may your dreams come true!
Warm Regards,
Diann Floyd Boehm
