Actually, I managed to succeed in one of those resolutions a couple of years ago – exercising more. I continue to do it because it helps my bad back and my writing both, but it’s a lie when they tell you it helps you lose weight. It doesn’t.

I’ve resolved to lose weight so many times that I’ve given up even considering it as a resolution. I might want to lose, but my body says no. I had a gastric upset for a whole week last Christmas and didn’t even lost a pound!

Like you, I feel lucky to be a multi-published novelist, lucky to have got a start, not lucky to continue writing though – that’s called hard work.

So I’ll just wish everyone else well with their resolutions and get back to my characters, who’re nagging me.

Happy New Year to every author and reader! And peace to the world.
