My First Book Signing
It’s funny how we have ideas in our heads about what we want and what we will or won’t do and how we so often end up doing things we said we wouldn’t or not doing things we said we would. When I started seriously working on the publishing process for Discovering My Outside Voice,…

Hello 2022
Well, Happy New Year! It’s been a few weeks since we’ve been here. I hope you enjoyed the holidays and are doing well. My holidays were fairly low key and restful and now I’m ready for some new things. I’ve got some pretty big goals for the next few months, and one of them is…

Gratitude
Can we take a second to appreciate a short work week? We had a great time on vacation, but I got almost no sleep because I can never sleep in strange beds, so I’m still playing catch up with my Zs. Our administrative assistant is out all week so I’m back to doing both our…

My First Bookish Event
The past couple of weeks have flown by! We had our Zoom party this past Saturday night, and it turned out well. I had little idea about how to host a fun book release zoom party, but I think I did okay. Only about half of those who registered attended, but the smaller group made…

The First Week
What a week! As someone who has never published a book before, I didn’t really know what to expect from the first week of my book being available to purchase. When I decided to write and publish this book, it was out of necessity. I had all these stories to tell, but wasn’t telling them,…

How About Some Cookies?
I was supposed to post about Long Division today, but I’ve only gotten through the first side of the book. Book 1. I haven’t yet started Book 2 (flip it over and turn it upside down), so I can’t comment on it just yet. I will say, though, City is an interesting kid with interesting…

Proof
I have proof I wrote a book! Writing this book has been on my mind for several years, but it wasn’t until my short story “Makers of Men” was accepted for publication in midnight & indigo last year that I truly committed to publishing a collection of my own. I’d been writing Discovering My Outside…

Suzanne Collins: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
My last summer read was supposed to be Long Division, however, we took a little Hunger Games detour. I was at the bookstore a couple of weeks ago doing research for how to price my upcoming book when I notice a book cover that looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was, in…

Let me Introduce You to My Book Cover
When I was first thinking about this cover reveal, I decided I would split the image into twelve pieces and post one piece every Tuesday and Friday for six weeks. After the second day, I was annoyed with the thought of it [smacks forehead]. Last week, I decided to post a new row of images…
