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

Publishing (while working another full job) is a lot like juggling. There's the business of promoting your book(s), staying active and engaging on various social media platforms and online more generally, and continuing to write and publish new stories. 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. Published author is a daunting and exciting title in equal measure. I'm proud of this title a

I want to send a quick shout out and very special thanks to the readers who already left a review for Touch Me Softly on Amazon since its release in December 2017. You will never know how grateful I am to you for taking the time to write a review after reading my debut novel! You are the absolute best.

I've been home for the holidays for the last week and a half. It's been tough for several reasons this year, but we all got through it in our own ways. Tomorrow I'm heading back to the west coast. I'm sad to leave but excited to be going back to my routine. Since publishing my debut novel (woohoo! I'm still in a state of disbelief), I've been trying to go go go with promotion. Now, I realize that I've been neglecting writing this holiday season and this entire month. Although

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

Well, I've finally done it. I published this very website where you're reading this post. Duh! I waited and fretted for no good reason. It's a learning process y'all. So, let me know what you think of the website. Check out my facebook page. Sign up for the newsletter. In the future, I will send out periodic news through there and some other goodies (wink-wink). And stay tuned for Touch Me Softly, my debut novel. It's book 1 in the Reawakening Series and I'm so excited that i
