Advice on self-publishing

To those of you who are not writers and received this anyways, my apologies. I'm writing this post to writers that are trying to get their books out there. I receive a decent amount of emails from writers every week, asking for advice, tips, reviews, etc. I try my best to help them as best I can. They're hard working, eager and nervous and looking for ways to get into the industry. Unfortunately, some of them get desperate and do things that they shouldn't. I'm posting a list here of things that you might help you avoid problems later on. I… Read More

My new car radio looks mighty pretty :)

Paying it Forward

For months now I've been planning on getting a new radio for my car and like most single mothers, I had to budget for it. Well, the time to pick out a new radio finally came and I was pretty excited to have a CD player or even a satellite radio to listen to while I chauffeur my children around.

I was all set to look around today since I… Read More

A Reluctant Announcement

  This past December I announced that I was dropping the price of my books to $0.99 to make the books more affordable for everyone. At the time, I had a small following of readers and didn't really anticipate a need to raise the prices. I promised that I would keep the prices low as long as I could afford it. Unfortunately, I never thought my books becoming popular would actually make everything more expensive. When I started publishing, I did it on my own with absolutely no help from anyone. I edited my books, answered my own emails, handled Facebook,… Read More
