Brave New World: What's The Skinny On 2014

 
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS
 
 
I hope you all had a great start to the year.
 
 
Gigi and Danny and I had a wonderful time with family and friends, and of course.
ANOTHER 
 
CLUEDO REMATCH
 
Yep, still losing at cluedo.
 
Everyone seems to be charting their goals for the year, so I thought, I would too.
 
 
So what is on the cards for 2014.....
 
 
1. Release my middle grade mystery, Frankie Dupont And The Mystery Of Enderby Manor. Stay tuned for a cover reveal and blog tour.
 
2. Release the third and final book in my Adventures Of Caramel Cardamom Trilogy, "Stellarcadia" Stay tuned for a cover reveal and blog tour.
 
3. Attend Supernova Melbourne to try my hand at selling some paperbacks.  I will be sure to post evidence of our costumes, complete with Elf ears.

4. Attend Book Expo Australia to sell some more paperbacks

I am also embarking on a new genre....


Picture Books
To be honest it is the one I love the most, but I haven't felt ready until I did

This gave me a huge amount of inspiration and as a result I have written 8 Picture Books.

Which brings me to my next venture:

over at http://www.juliehedlund.com/12-x-12/

So it may sound like I am well on the way to my goal of 12 picture books already, but I know I have a lot of work to do just yet.

Last but not least, here is my new years resolution, or maybe it should be a goal.

I WANT TO LAND A PICTURE BOOK AGENT.


That's my plan for 2014.


SO STAY TUNED.......
