Thanks For The Memories

By Sue Ann Jaffarian



Today is my last official post here at Criminal Minds. My first post was on November 21, 2010 and was called Going With My Gut on the topic of book covers.

I want to thank you all, bloggers and readers, for welcoming me, especially Kelly Stanley who invited me to join the crew. It has been a blast and I will miss it, but it's time to move on and explore new possibilities.

For the time being, my blogging will be limited to my personal blog - BABBLE 'n BLOG - which has suffered since I started with CM, and to whatever guest posts present themselves.

Just Released

I'll be writing, continuing to churn out books at a fairly fast pace. It's what I do and I need to focus more on that considering the books on the horizon yet to be penned. I just had a book released and I have two others being released in early spring, and two novels due to publishers in 2014. So have no worries, I won't be lazing about.

Speaking of which, this is the first time in years when I don't have a book due the first of January. I'm almost giddy from not having a deadline looming over my holidays like a Grinch.  I really get to go to all the parties? I can actually go on vacation in December and NOT write unless I want to?  I can get drunk on New Year's Eve instead of proofreading a manuscript?  The mind staggers at the possibilities!

Thanks for the memories, ghosts of Criminal Minds past, present, and even future. I have loved being a part of this wonderful blog.

Speaking of ghosts of Criminal Minds future, my Friday spot will not remain empty. Beginning in January, my good friend and Shamus winning author Paul Marks will be taking my place. Please give him a warm welcome, and a bit of shit from time-to-time.



Coming out in 2014!
