Hello, Dear Reader! As you likely know, I'm an indie author which is a hipster-y way of saying I self-publish. One of the biggest struggles self-published authors face is promotion--how do we reach an audience, any audience, let alone the exact audience who would be interested in our books? And then, when we do find… Continue reading Help An Indie Author With Reviews

Funny Beta Reader Comments
My husband is one of my beta readers. He's definitely not my target audience, and he's not much into romance (says his eyes glaze over when I write about how somebody smells), but he is a fan of fantasy and has a BA in English, so he's not the worst pick. While I do have… Continue reading Funny Beta Reader Comments
A Year of the Pandemic and A Year of Self Publishing
The Korinniad came out February 1st, 2020. That day was so full of excitement that I thought I was going to die from how the anxiety layered atop the elation like a heart attack lasagna. Now, releasing a book is much easier and more joyous, but back then I had no idea if I would… Continue reading A Year of the Pandemic and A Year of Self Publishing
Looking for ARC Reviewers for The Weary Traveler

How To Read eBooks Without An eReader
I'm writing this post because my dear mother has said on multiple occasions that she will "just have to get a Kindle" when my next book comes out as electronic only. (The Weary Traveler won't be in paperback, just a heads up!) It's very sweet on her part, but objectively untrue, so I figured I'd… Continue reading How To Read eBooks Without An eReader
First Live Newsletter When?
I didn't think about the fact I'd scheduled my first newsletter to go out on Inauguration Day, but that's what happened, and so yesterday it went live. Despite it being not exactly a spend-your-time-checking-emails kinda day, I still feel like it was successful, and now I'm way more confident with the whole process than I… Continue reading First Live Newsletter When?
I Finally Have A Mailing List!
I did it, Dear Readers: I created a mailing list. It should have been easy, at least that was the impression I got from all the forum posts by other self-published authors, but my gods was it absolutely not. Every step took me in a different direction where I had to complete five sub-steps and… Continue reading I Finally Have A Mailing List!
