Happy New Year!!! It's been a whirlwind of traveling the last few weeks of December and then starting back at the day job. It's always hard to come back after a long time away, isn't it. Well, I wanted to pop on here really quick to share some news. Tomorrow will be a very interesting day. I'll be participating in an online Author Showcase in the Facebook Group: Writer's Network & Book Club. I'm really excited about it but also anxious. This will be a first for me, y'all. I w

I hadn't truly realized how many balls I needed to consistently have in the air at one given time until I became a published author.

My first release week and I was slowly losing my mind. For sure, I was starting bad habits, y'all, and I needed to stop. ASAP! Because I was stressing myself the heck out. The #1 worst habit I had to nix was checking the download or purchases pages (on every site where I have my book up!). My book has only been up for days. DAYS. It didn't make sense to me even while I was doing it but it was happening anyhow. Yes, it's okay to check but not on a daily basis. Not when you are
