This time tomorrow, 2015 will be a thing of the past and we’ll all be watching the New Year’s Concert from Vienna. It’s been a year of ups and downs…
Best moment: Holding The Attic Room for the first time.
Second and third best moments: Holding the audio version of The Cold Cold Sea and the large print version of The Paradise Trees for the first time.
Most put-off decision: Whether or not to get another dog. And we still don’t know… (all opinions welcome)
Worst moment: The malware attack… (but how lucky am I to have an IT professional in the family?)
Most work: Our removal to this flat. It wasn’t quite as much work as moving from the house to the temporary flat, but we still had to pack Every. Single. Thing. And unpack them all afterwards too…
Best trip: On a visit to Scotland, I went to the lovely Isle of Arran to visit friends. It was a picture-perfect couple of days.
Best reads: Splinter The Silence by Val McDermid, and The Witness by Jane Bidder.
Best purchase: My document shredder. I hope the novelty never wears off!
Best window: The one with this view…
Nicest surprise: Hitting the number one spot on Vigilant Justice with The Attic Room.
Most popular blog post: This one! I’ll just mention the number 50…
Hopes for next year: More of the same! Health and happiness for my family, another book (news about that in January) – and maybe a dog. Or a cat. Or…
A huge thank you to everyone who has accompanied me through 2015, and I wish you all a happy, healthy and successful 2016!

Legend Press did the audio/large print – all I had to do was open the boxes when they sent my copies 🙂 Yes, here’s to 2016!

Happy New Year Linda! I’ve been wondering whether or not to get a dog for the past two years :))

We should start a club – the dog-switherers… When the time is right, we’ll know. Maybe!

A highly readable summing up of your year, Linda. Congratulations on your successes. I love the photo of the view from your window.

I love the view, Susanna. I’m sitting here at my desk looking out at it – not quite light yet and the trees disappear into the dimness…
Let’s hope 2016 is a good writing year for us both!

Yes, yes–get another dog. I lost my dog last year and am so ready for another, yet I’m bulking. I think I’m afraid. It’s such a time commitment but that’s not what I fear. It’s how much you end up loving them, and how very, very empty it is after they leave. That said, it sounds as if you had a pretty nice year. (I used to have a document shredder and I LOVED it. I would shred everything. I almost couldn’t stop.) P.S. I so want to visit Scotland.

I have to hold myself in check with the shredder too…
What’s stopping me getting a dog straightaway is a) this is a first floor flat and b) my kids aren’t (yet) able to jump in when I’m away. When b) changes it’ll probably be time.
Visit Scotland. Go in summer. Do the west coast, you’ll love it!
