Why I self-publish
For my friends who wonder why I continue to sell my books on my own and choose self-publishing over traditional publishing, I have my reasons. I would never 100% snub traditional publishing if they wanted one of my books. Never. I will, however, never submit my books to them because their requirements are stupid. STUPID.… Continue reading Why I self-publish
Albert Martinez
That's my brother. He was 51 years old. It hurt me to type "was." I lost him on Sunday January 16th. He died in a motorcycle accident and I am so mad. I am sad. I am devastated. I hadn't spoken to him recently and I feel terrible. We were good with each other. No… Continue reading Albert Martinez
For new writers
Photo by Kaboompics .com on Pexels.com I think a lot of us, before we become seasoned writers, do research. We research about researching.

The only way you are going… Continue reading For new writers

October. Book release Month
Made by me on Canva Sorry for being absent on nearly all my social media. We sold our home and moved into a new place. Packing, moving, unpacking, switching my kids' schools and buses, was insane. I ended up napping a lot and having a mental breakdown or two. I am so very excited to… Continue reading October. Book release Month

Love with a Splash of Murder
The title of my new book is a long one. I tried and tried to get it shorter but nothing felt right. I finished it however. I did two rounds of edits that seemed to last forever. I had beta readers go over it and it was overwhelmingly loved. Self-publishing is hard. All of the… Continue reading Love with a Splash of Murder
Why I Self-Publish
Photo by Poppy Thomas Hill on Pexels.com I would love to have a publishing house reach out to me and tell me they love my works and want to publish my new books. I would love it. Why don't I do it? CONTROL ISSUES I have severe control issues. I have given up time to… Continue reading Why I Self-Publish
