Addison Fox: New Year, Old Me

Here we are again. That time of year when we focus on the things we want to fix. For the record, I think self-reflection and personal improvement is important – always. One of our greatest gifts as humans is our ability to make a choice, stick with it and change.

But for all the talk of change, I think it’s important to also take time for reflection and consider the things we’ve changed or are doing or have achieved and be grateful. Thankful. And excited for the accomplishment.

This is a topic I think about a lot because as a writer conflict – and a human being’s need to change – is key to what I do. A story isn’t interesting if the characters don’t learn something. If they don’t change their perspective or learn something or take an opportunity to grow.

So what about you? What did you accomplish this past year that you’re proud of? Excited about? Still laughing and smiling about? It can be absolutely anything – let’s hear it!

Thanks for joining me today!
XO,
Addison

Hey, 2016, Looking Forward To Knowing You -- Michelle Monkou

Not sure if I'm the unusual one who loves the winding down of the present year, while anticipating the steady approach of the new year. For me, the feeling is like slipping off a well-worn coat and picking a new, lighter wear as my accessory. I have no choice, but to go forward through that door marked 2016.

Because really, 2016 doesn't care if you're ready or not.

The new year isn't waiting to hear if we have prepared for it or, likewise, isn't disappointed if we just lazed around and stayed comatose on the couch. Doesn't matter if the weather is picture perfect or there're storms harkening to the Old Testament, upon its arrival.

The New Year will not be denied.

If we don't really have to prepare and we don't have to do anything spectacular, then why not welcome it with a smile and a happy heart. It's my philosophy these days.

With a big grin, I shout with a cheesy grin  - Welcome! Welkom! Ongi etorri! Bien Binidu! Tervetuloa! Maeva! Croeso!

And, I look forward to walking through that great big door and sharing with all of you my 2016 book releases. The writing cave will be in heavy use with a little bit of sexy romances, urban fantasies, and women's fiction coming your way.

Here's January's release coming soon: TO SEDUCE A BILLIONAIRE



What it's about: Take a trip to Monaco and meet the Laurent brothers—Damien, Dane, Dallon. Seducing A Billionaire is three connected stories of this powerful dynasty that thrives in the high-end real estate market. While this next generation continues the Laurent legacy, they are also Monaco's eligible and downright sexy bachelors. Falling in love may not be on the agenda. Yet, romance knows no bounds when the right women—Anna, Yasmin, Nicola—seduces her man.


Stay connected with me via my newsletter, Facebook or through my website for the release date information and buy links.

Tell us, how you're planning to welcome 2016.


Happy Reading and Happy New Year!
