Welcome to My Author Blog!

For a long time I resisted the idea of writing a blog because I thought it best to utilize my time in researching and writing more books. But I believe that I've been missing out on a great opportunity to create a "home base," so-to-speak, where readers can check in from time to time to learn what I've been up to and get behind-the-scenes access that feels more personal. I heard it said that a website is supposed to feel like someone's home, and I thought what better way to spend time with visitors to my site than through a blog where I can just be myself while I cover four main categories . . .

Author/Craft

Here is where I'll share specifics about my personal experiences as an indie author and my particular writing habits. I will also take you back in time to learn about past experiences and lessons learned. I plan to write blogs on topics such as . . .

• Why did I self-publish?

• What are the best and worst parts about being an author?

• Do I get writer's block?

• What's my writing ritual?

  
  

I also hope to be able to encourage other aspiring authors by answering questions, such as . . .

• What's the best advice I have for aspiring authors?

• My productivity and time-management tips for authors.

• Getting a DBA as an author.

• Do I recommend publishing on both Amazon and IngramSpark?

• How to get into libraries and bookstores.

AND MUCH MORE!

Research/Behind-the-Scenes

From time to time, I'll be sure to check in about my latest research, as well as fill you in on past research discoveries. Here is where I will also share a behind-the-scenes glimpse into my writing life with showing you how I organize my research, my project vision boards, my favorite writing spaces, and MUCH MORE.

Personal/Fun

It's important to not be all work but also PLAY! Every now and again, I'll be sure to blog about personal topics such as my favorite hobbies, books, movies, and TV shows. I'll introduce you to my faithful writing companion in my cat, Aloysius. I'll also share funny anecdotes about publishing and being an author.
