There have been several steps to this self-publishing process that have been especially fun for me, and they also happen to be the nerdiest parts of it, too. Go figure. 😉 There are certain childhood dreams that surround becoming a published author. One dream is to walk into my local book shop and get toContinue reading “Gettin’ My Nerd On, Bookish Style”

She’s Real!
It’s a really strange feeling to be reading a book…and it’s my book…in book format. I wonder if this feeling ever goes away. I hope not. This whole process has been such a learning experience. I should note that I’m a stubborn, independent person – and I love to learn. So if there is anContinue reading “She’s Real!”
Music to My Ears
Several years ago, I admitted in front of a friend that I didn’t care for the music of a rather popular musician. I didn’t say I hated their stuff. I didn’t say it was bad. I said nothing other than it didn’t resonate with me. This friend turned to me and said, “I feel sorryContinue reading “Music to My Ears”
Kickstarter Results
No, I didn’t forget about you all on Friday – I opted to wait a couple days until the Kickstarter finished up this morning before posting again. This has been a big week in my writerly world. I got to hold a physical copy of my own book for the first time! AND my KickstarterContinue reading “Kickstarter Results”
Childhood Dream Fulfilled
Ever since I signed the contract for my first book (well, ever since childhood – it just started to feel like a real possibility with the contract), I’ve been so excited to hold my book in my hands. My book. In book format. Like a real book. I thought that would have been Alice’s story,Continue reading “Childhood Dream Fulfilled”
Soundtrack

A Big Week for WWIB
This has been a big week for the world of Wherever Would I Be. (And me.) This week, I learned ALL about typesetting, and it turns out, I actually enjoyed it. Mostly. The formatting wasn’t so bad (Amazon provides pretty clear directions to follow; and yeah, I know, evil corp – but an indie authorContinue reading “A Big Week for WWIB”
Kickstarter: Halfway!
Can I start by saying that I’m shocked how many folks have taken me up on naming a character after them in my murder mystery? 🤣 So many friends totally ok with me offing them on paper… If that wasn’t shocking enough – the project is currently sitting at 546% funded. I had dinner withContinue reading “Kickstarter: Halfway!”
Wherever Would I Be: Excerpt
Lucy blinked. Then she blinked again, harder this time, certain that her eyes were playing a trick on her. But there he sat. The man, seated behind a worn, dark walnut writer’s desk with thin, hand-carved legs, wore a chocolate brown dress jacket with a high collar and small puffs on top of his shouldersContinue reading “Wherever Would I Be: Excerpt”
Kickstarter: Day One
I’m not playing when I say that I went into this assuming that I’d have to “back” myself in order to make up the different to get to the initial minimum goal – so perhaps you can imagine my (genuine) shock when the project reach the minimum goal one minute shy of four hours fromContinue reading “Kickstarter: Day One”
