2018 recap

[dropcap style=”font-size:100px; color:#992211;”]W[/dropcap]hat a year 2018 was!

Any social reader would be aware that there seems to be a collective WTF regarding 2018. Insurmountable political problems, global war, and fates personal vendetta against each and every one of us finally and firmly came to a head in in December.  Did we all escape? Did the coldest darkest part of the year’s passing become analogous the lightening of our own lives? It’s still too soon to say. But we’re hopeful.

Rather than focus on the negative here’s a quick chance to look at the things that were nice in 2018. Were they the best things that could have happened to our little global magazine? It is possible that they were. Read on.

International Launch Party.
Several large international book chains picked up and to celebrate we had a party.
