As the year winds down, I want to take this opportunity to send out a few thank yous. I’ll keep it short:

First, to all the authors and editors I get to work with. We published 15 books this year – a record for Central Avenue. I live vicariously through you and your talent.

Second, to the readers who’ve bought our books, support us on social media, or who read these newsletters. You keep the lights on, give opportunities to new writers, and generally make the world go ‘round.

Third, to IPG, our fantastic distributor who advises me on what and how to publish, how to market our books, and places CAP books seemingly everywhere. Without them and their immense professionalism and the opportunities they afford, Central Avenue would have followed the sad fate of too many small and independent publishers.

The fourth and final thank you goes my family and friends, who put up with my long hours, my distraction while I’m working, and who patiently listen when I spout on about all things books.

I am indebted to you all for making 2021 our best year yet. Here’s wishing you a beautiful holiday season and new year filled with love and light.
