Well, we made it, guys. Congratulations. 2017 was a rough year for a lot of people. My family dealt with unforeseen, life-threatening illness. I had to have a number of medical procedures, including surgery (not life-threatening, but still scary and expensive). My close friends lost jobs and long-term relationships. The news became an unending stream of nerve-wracking headlines. I had to move in a rush when my apartments were sold to a company that began remodeling the building around me.

It was not a good year.

Maybe that's why I wrote so much - 235,058 words. That's 52,365 more than in any previous year since I've been keeping records.

What I Wrote

I launched a new pen name (A. H. Lee) with a 3-book series (The Incubus Series) and added a 4th book before the year ended. All together, I wrote 2 novels (Incubus Bonded and Incubus Dreaming), 1 novella (Incubus Yule), 2 children's books (Malachi and the Twilight Zoo and Malachi and the Dragon), and 6 short stories (Save Yourself, Water in the Desert, Blockade Runner, Fly, Adagio, and Missed You). I wrapped up the Eve and Malachi series with Book 6, although none of the last 4 books are published yet. I also wrote a number of segments of the choose-your-own-adventure zombie story. I started a stand-alone Christmas Werewolf story that I'll finish before next Christmas.

What I Published

Jager Thunder in ebook, paper, and audio.
Incubus Caged (Book 1) in ebook, paper, and audio
Incubus Bonded and Incubus Dreaming (Books 2 and 3) in ebook and paper

I released all but one of the short stories above to my Patreon, as well as segments of the zombie story

Christmas Werewolf Book

Personal Goals

Listen to fewer podcasts and more novels
Travel for reasons other than work
Leave the house at least once a day when I'm writing

I hope 2018 is kinder to all of us. But whether it is or it isn't, I'll still keep writing books. Happy New Year!
