It's Thanksgiving here in the US! Happy Turkey Day! If you're celebrating, I hope you're having a wonderful holiday and indulging in all the appropriate traditions. Eating way too much of the whatever meal is going down and giving thanks for all the good things that have happened this year.

Growing up in Australia, I'd never had a Thanksgiving until I came to the US. But I've grown to love it. I mean who doesn't like an excuse to eat a great roast dinner or order a massive amount of Chinese takeout?  

But more than that, I like Thanksgiving as a concept. A day to get together with people I care about and appreciate all the experiences I've had this year. 

This year I moved to the UK. I got to live in the same city as my brother and sister-in-law for nine months. My mom came to visit. I drove a canal boat. I spent time with my sister and my nieces. My dad got a new puppy. I dragged my friend Ms Melinda on her first trip to Paris. I hopped back to the US and went to my first reader conference as a featured author. 

And as recently as last week I finally finished the first draft of BOOK FOUR! Which I'm incredibly freaking thankful for!!!

In fact the only thing I'm more thankful for is you, dear reader! 

Did you know it's been about year-and-a-half since I wrote my first newsletter? (Only three people opened it.) A little over a year since I released The Ice Prince? (It had a respectable launch but it didn't get anywhere near a bestseller list.) And a couple of months ago, I got to see that book at the top of an Amazon Bestseller list right next to Lucy Freaking Score's The Worst Best Man? (This needed a visual!!!)
