Well 2017 is nearly over. Its been a year of highs and some lows for me. I didn’t get nearly as much work done on my own original fiction as I had hoped.

My depression has been particularly bad this year. I’ve had it my whole life and it flares up at certain points, but I had really terrible onset in January and April in 2017 which delayed my work for quite a while.

Still I hope to get more stories finished in 2018 and more work done on this blog too.

I’d also like to pay tribute to a follower of this blog and supporter of my work general who I learned sadly passed away earlier this year.

Michael Thomas Knight, an acclaimed horror author who ran the blog Parlor of Horror sadly lost a long battle with cancer earlier this year.

I didn’t know him that well, but I always really appreciated his comments and opinions on this blog, as well as the support he gave me as a young, aspiring horror author and my heart goes out to his family at this sad time.

Hope all my regular readers have a fantastic new year and I’ll see you in 2018.
