Let's not say good-bye, but rather see you later!

One of the things I've enjoyed about LadyKillers is following Mike's Monday with my Tuesdays. Whenever I wasn't sure what to say, I'd (re) read his blog post, and find a great segue I could work from!

Another thing I loved about LadyKillers is the camaraderie.

I've met some awesome folks here at the blog. When I first started posting here as a regular member, a little more than ten years ago, the administrator was none other than the original LadyKillers administrator: author Rhys Bowen. She began the blog in 2006 with fellow authors Lyn Hamilton, Mary Anna Evans, Meg Chittenden, and Cara Black. Both Meg and Lyn had moved on to other things when I arrived, and Rhys herself left some years later to help found the popular Jungle Red Writers blog. In addition to the current crop of super-great writers and fellow posters, other writers you probably have heard of also contributed over the years: Mysti Berry, Sharan Newman, Rita Lakin, Penny Warner, Simon Wood, Susan Shea, Terry Shames, Hannah Schwartz.... the list goes on. It has been quite the fun experience, from my first post to this, my last.

It's difficult to leave this wonderful virtual community of bloggers and strike back out on my own, but I'm hoping I can twist the arms of various LadyKillers and convince them to drop on by and offer up a guest post now and again at my Silver Rush Mysteries blog site (here's lookin' at you, Mike! ;-)  ). Hopefully some of The LadyKillers' followers will traipse along as well and drop a comment or two, now and again.

So, with that in mind, let's not say good-bye or any of the more final variants (farewell, godspeed, etc.), but rather, "See you around," and "see you later!"

Wishing you all a wonderful new year, plenty of good books to read, and the time to read them!

See you later, Ann. Count on it. As you said, the camaraderie was something I too loved about this group of authors. Best wishes to all of them.

Knowing that you would be following my Monday posts was always a tough act to precede for me, Ann. Once again, thanks for all you've done with The Ladykillers, thanks for helping me along the way, and thanks for the inspiration. I learned a lot from all of you. Let's keep in touch.

[Ann]

Mike - Definitely let's keep in touch. You have my email and I have yours! :-)

Carole - It'll be easier for us to keep in touch, as you and I live about four blocks apart from each other! ;-) See you soon!

Wishing a cozy holiday season to everyone!

Ann, thank you for all you have done to make the LadyKillers run so successfully over these years. And thank you for asking me to be part of it. It has been a great experience.

Hi Peggy! - You're welcome! And thanks for all your wonderful, thoughtful posts. Hope to see you here and there in 2018!

Hi Ellen! - We'll keep in touch! And contact me if you'd like a blog spot. I plan to have a new post each Wednesday. (At least, that's the plan!) See you in Reno, most definitely!
