As the old year grinds to a close, the coming months promise a lot of excitement around the Ashe household. I am already hard at work on the follow-up to Off Scot Free (title to be announced!). My news series of travel guide books — Haunts & Hollows — should be launching soon, too. As always, my free time will be taken up with my silver work and traveling to Highland Games around the U.S. For January, I am on tap for the Central Florida Scottish Highland Games in Winter Springs. I’ll be on hand selling my silver wares and my collection of Victorian-era Scottish jewelry. Of course, I’ll be signing books for any and all. If you’re in the Orlando area and you’ve never been to a games, you truly need to attend at least once. It’s an exhilarating way to spend a weekend!

So keep your eyes open over the next few months for book news, previews and even a giveaway. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season!
