Looking Forward to the Work of the New Year

Happy New Year to all of my friends, family, and followers! Sincerely hope all of you had as wonderful a holiday season as possible and that 2019 has started off well and promisingly for you. Am very much looking forward to working and spending time with the many personal and professional associates I have done things with over the past year and to accomplishing even more over the coming one. 

This year promises to be a busy and productive one for me and I have a few things related to my activities that I would like to share on this start of 2019. First is that I have resigned my position as a correspondent with the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung newspaper. While the work I have done for it over the past four years has been meaningful to me — particularly my coverage of the area around Canyon Lake, Texas — for some months I have felt that I was no longer having the impact on the publication that I would have liked and that my efforts would be better devoted to other endeavors. One of my shortfalls over the past few decades has also been my inclination to try to do too many different things and I have decided at this point to devote my time and energies to fewer things but to accomplish more with them. 

My main two activities for the foreseeable future will my Skirmisher Publishing, which develops and publishes games and fiction, and the Gnosis Project, a non-profit association I founded in 2018 that was recently approved as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. You may have previously seen references to both of these ventures on my page and you will certainly see much more over the coming months. I would encourage you to follow the Facebook pages for both of those entities and sincerely invite you to let me know if there is anything you want to know about either of them. Suffice it to say that I am always generous when it comes to giving away copies of things I publish or write to people who would like to see them, and that I will be prevailing upon the generosity of others as I move forward with the work of the charitable association.
