My intent for this blog post was to announce that I had packed up all the Kickstarter copies of Wherever Would I Be and sent her out into the world. However, despite some [sarcasm] really fun [/sarcasm] obstacles, I actually got her out earlier than anticipated. At the moment, all print copies are in theContinue reading “She’s on her way!”

Say Cheese!
To say that I hate having my picture taken is the understatement to end all understatements. I’m an introvert. Plus, I don’t like having attention on me (especially prolonged attention). But don’t take this to mean I’m a doormat – I will stand my ground/stand up for myself and others when necessary. I’d just ratherContinue reading “Say Cheese!”
Gettin’ My Nerd On, Bookish Style
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!”

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”
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”
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”

Me trying to believe people when they tell me this Kickstarter thing will go just fine:
Cover Reveal: Wherever Would I Be
Back in July, I wrote a post about a book cover design rabbit hole I fell down in Canva. I mentioned an image by artist Pascal Campion that I really loved – one that I wished I could have as the cover of my book because it fit – the two figures (in the caseContinue reading “Cover Reveal: Wherever Would I Be”
