Everything Happens For a Reason

Through a series of unfortunate events, two of my publishers had to close their doors last year. I went from having three books available to having none.

That was hard.

Now, over a year later, I'm thrilled to announce that I have four books available! I found a new home for my novel Symmetry with The Wild Rose Press, I signed a contract for my YA novel After Me with Buzz Books USA, and I ventured into the wilds of Kindle Direct Publishing to make my first two novels, True Blue Forever and Different Roads, available again as e-books. You can buy them all here.

I never thought self-publishing was for me, but I fell in love with the KDP process so much that I've also decided to publish my short stories as free Kindle downloads to attract more readers for my books. And since I can do my own editing and formatting and my daughter is a graphic design major who can make totally awesome book covers for me, I haven't spent a dime so far. (She made that beautiful logo for me above and also built me a kickass Web site you can see here.)

Does this mean I won't be submitting my future manuscripts to agents or publishers? No. But it does guarantee that every single book I write in the future will be published, no matter what.

And that's a good feeling.
