So, tell me, how were your holidays? Well, you survived them at least, right? Me too, not entirely intact, but nevertheless here we are. ;-) It's been great losing track of the days during this quiet part of the holidays, the week between Christmas and New Year's.

With the year winding down I wanted to share some snapshots of memorable moments from 2018. This year saw the publication of my labour of love SIDE BY SIDE by Inanna Publications.
