We all change as we continue on our life journeys. Sometimes it seems as if we simply muddle through, accepting what comes, rolling with the punches and reveling in those moments of little victories and satisfaction.

It is beneficial at times to stop and take stock of what we have, what we have accomplished and what we still wish to obtain—both in our spiritual and physical needs.

I have recently come to that crossroad in my life. After ten years on AuthorsDen, 21 books in print and readers in over 60 countries I am ending my writing career on a high note. After all, I haven’t written anything since December 2010 other than revising two books already written. The declining interest in my work among my readers is indicative that the time has come to move onward.

I thank all of you for your interest in my work, your kind reviews and comments over the years. I also thank those of you who stopped by my AuthorsDen site 678,000 times! And thank all of you who have purchased my books or checked them out from the library. The fact that you have read my books is perhaps the biggest thrill yet. Even though my AD site will disappear, my books will continue to be available from your bookstore and most are available on Kindle and on your iPAD as well. Until August you may still obtain signed copies through the AD bookstore.

I will continue to be present on line through my folklore site (www.freewebs.com/garyrvarner) should you wish to check in periodically.

Thank you all again and best wishes in your future endeavors. Keep on reading!
