I know you’re reading the title and you’re thinking ‘Say what????’ My fabulous new friend and amazing fellow author Valerie Day-Sanchez and I are very excited to bring you our first monthly article chronicling our two different perspectives on writing as we navigate this new world of being a self published author. I am so…
The move, the editing and the crazy
We survived the big move! I am now back to fully immersing myself not only in editing but also in promoting book one, ‘Isle of Skye’ again because I have a free book promotion coming up next week. No pressure or anything. I keep reminding myself that this is all worth it in the end….
Isle of Night Musings & Playlist
As many of you know, I am moving. Yes, the day has finally arrived and I will be off the grid for at least a week. I’m not sure how I will survive but I did want to talk about my new book, ‘Isle of Night’, one more time before I’m off to complete the…
Introducing Valerie Day Sanchez
