I believe in the adage "it takes a village." I know it originally referred to childrearing, but authors often think of their latest book as their baby! (I wish I were kidding.) When I first became a published author, one of the first things I did was seek out a community of other authors. I'm a member of a novel-writing group, and they've often been my sounding board and some of my most honest critics. They also write excellent books, three of which were released last week! If you have family or friends who love cozy mysteries, historical fantasy, or zombie novels (or, of course, if you do), books like these always make great gifts! I hope you enjoy these new releases as much as I do!
