It's that time of year where we see a lot of lists and awards going out. This is your reminder that publishing a book is a huge victory, and even if you don't see your book on those lists, you are amazing. You have achieved something wonderful.
Don't stop. π

Book cover for The Traitors Interactive Game Book
I've never watched The Traitors, but am intrigued by the interactive book! Has anyone read it/done it? Is it easy to understand? Do I need to have watched it?
