Happy New Year: Looking Back on 2024, Looking Forward to 2025

Happy New Year, everyone! It’s been quite a year at the Saddletramp homestead, and I am glad it’s finally over.

Last year, I published three books, contributed to four seasonal anthologies, posted my first subscriber-only post on Substack, and completed five free stories for Literotica.

2024 was also the first full year of my website and the first full year of my Substack newsletter, which is free to the public but gives paying subscribers access to a monthly story.

A lot has happened this past year, and much more will come in 2025. By the way, my latest Substack newsletter, which can be read here for free, covers all of it. So, instead of reinventing the wheel, why not just head on over there, and you can catch up on all the good stuff.

However, before you head over to Substack, I want to let you know about a couple of new items.

First off, I have posted an excerpt of my current work in progress, “A Climax in Time,” available for your reading enjoyment. You can catch that here on my “Previews of Upcoming Stories” page. The story is about a scientist who develops a device that harnesses the energy of the female orgasm which can then be used as an alternative energy source.

But something goes wrong, and the scientist’s wife gets transported nearly 100 years back in time. I’ve been working on the concept of this story for a while, and I’m having a lot of fun putting it together. I hope to publish it on Amazon within the first half of the year.

Stay tuned for that, and subscribe to my Substack to follow my progress.

There are also a couple of group promos on Bookfunnel starting today, and I would be extremely grateful for your support.

The first promotion, “January is for Lovers,” is a group sales effort that includes “Justice Rides” and about 60 other books by indie authors like myself. You can see that promotion here, buy a book or two, and share the link with your friends on social media. I would love to wake up and see a few hundred books sold… Hey, a guy can dream, right?

The second, “One is Not Enough,” features a number of free books, including “A Father’s Justice.” Visit that promo here, grab some free books, and share the link with your friends on social media.

Believe me when I say that all of us participating in these promotional efforts appreciate all of you more than you know. Without you, we’re nothing…

Once again, Happy New Year! Stay safe and warm out there!
