I love books books books books

Season 4 is the best news all day.

The freedom of self-publishing after that accident took a lot of fear out of writing process.

I wouldn’t close the door on Trad publishing but I am extremely happy being an Indie author. I’ve focused most of my marketing to book events: conferences, festivals etc. The reception in person is great.

A happy accident. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to start the querying process so I decided to check out KDP as a test. Entered in all the info but didn’t press publish but my computer froze. I panicked, pressed every key, and moved the mouse frantically to refresh. Next thing I know, it’s published.

Welcome to my world. Books 2 and 3 coming soon LOL.

🤣 Perhaps make an outline of each and work on what feels great day by day.

My ADHD says:

Have you ever read a book so good you can’t start another one? 😭😩

I was corrected. It was 2019. 😂 Still stay away from airport cabbage. 🤣

Omg. I know someone who experienced this on their way to meet me after a flight from Moscow to Rome in May of 2018. And from cabbage! I felt so bad. 😩😂

💪🏾 one line at a time!

Can I confess something?

I had a rough time on TikTok because I get camera shy.

I never have that problem at signings because I love meeting readers/authors.🥰

But if you see me on video, just know I had to give myself a pep talk in the mirror for at least an hour before recording. 🫠😩😂 #booksky

Congratulations! How are you enjoying the process?

Hey #Booksky!! I’m an author, finishing up my 2nd novel. I want to connect with more Black and POC authors, writers, readers on here. Of all genres. Especially self-published. 😍💜😊

I want a new contract, longer tours, more speaking gigs, more short stories in awesome anthologies, and to make a bestseller list. I dream big, but the main dream is writing itself. Also, I must work my ass off trying to make those happen because no one owes me anything.
