2017 has been a good and bad year at the same time. I suppose most years are like that. Good and bad. But 2017 most than others. On the bad side. Although the good side has been pretty good. I can’t decide. Because I’d like to have the good side without so much bad.

Anyway, “RecipeArium”, my first novel in English has been published this year. So this is one of the best things that happened to me since… a long time.

Also this year I finished a new novel. Then, I finished the first draft of a second novel. And I wrote a few short stories, which I haven’t done for some years now. I sold “Corrosion”, which is a special story for me. It has been a good year for my writing.

The bad… well it doesn’t matter so much right now. And I hope some of it will resolve itself in 2018 to our satisfaction.

So, while I appreciate all the good in 2017, I welcome 2018 and hope for a better year.

I wish you all my friends and my readers to have a dreamy New Year, filled with accomplishments and happiness. I wish the world will get steadier and become a better place for us to live in. I wish that at least some of the bad guys disappear from the political world scene and be replaced by decent and respectful human beings.

Unfortunately, we live in interesting times.

So, my friends, Happy New Year!

Welcome, 2018!
