Here we go...

Am I crazy? Tell me I'm not crazy. I feel crazy.

This is it, ladies and gentlemen! I am taking the leap. I am done with rejection. I am taking my dreams into my own hands. Because life is too short to sit back and wait for someone to give me permission to make my dreams a reality. YOLO! Am I right?

So begins my self-publishing journey. If you've been with me from the start, way back in October 2020, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the love and support.

And if you're a newbie, hi! Welcome to my dream. Take a peek into this haphazard crazy I life I live that's about to get crazier.

I really never wanted to self-publish. "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Come on. I work full time. I have two young boys. My husband works evenings and weekends and travels a lot for work. The little free time I have I want to spend writing (or reading or cooking). NOT selling books.

But, alas, here we are. After a year and a half of querying and 75 rejections, I'm taking my book into my own hands. I didn't pour my blood, sweat, and tears into Margaret's story to just have her sit in the dark on my laptop, never to be read. No. She was made to sit on a bookshelf, her pages held with eager fingertips.

So I'm taking my dream into my own hands. I am self-publishing. And as my "About" profile will tell you, I am tenacious and determined. Which means I tend to be a "go big or go home" person - if we do this, we're going all in.

So this website and blog were born. A lovechild of my dreams and the reality of my circumstances, if you will.

So join me on this journey! I'll share how the publishing process is going, my writing journey, and life in general. And eventually I'll have links on here where you can purchase Running Home and my other novels (oh yes, I have more).

And as always, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for joining me on this rollercoaster. Let's buckle up!
