This is my first post since September 2023 and that means I’ve done exactly what I told myself I wouldn’t ever do when I created this site. I have skipped out on posting for more than four months. Yikes.

Yeah. Four months is a long time to not post any new blogs or reviews here. If you follow me on my Facebook author page (BarbHopkinsWriter), and of course you do, you’ll have seen many posts, often daily, including links to book reviews that I’ve shared via Goodreads. I’ve kept up there, but alas, I’ve not transferred those posts over to here.

So I’m posting today and my goal is to add at least one new blog post or book review here each month. That seems doable and who knows, maybe it’ll lead to something more.

I am happy to share that I have been exceedingly busy (hence the no posts) since last September, and it’s been a good busy. While I’m continuing full speed ahead with my middle grade and YA writing, I also have a new, extremely exciting project in the works as well. I can’t fully announce it here and now, but next month I can share more.

If you’ve hung in there with me during this hiatus, I truly appreciate your patience! 2024 is a new year (and yes, I know we’re already halfway through the second month) and I’m super excited for all it’s going to bring.
