A (Hope)ful Blog

I always compared a pre-order to a baby shower. Authors, after all, claim books as their babies, and what better way to celebrate a book launch than having a book baby shower (a pre-order) before welcoming a physical book into the world? Now my sister who recently gave birth would resent my comparison. Lucky for me, she doesn't read my blog or have a Goodreads account. This past week, my book launched for pre-order. I found out about it less than 24 hours before the link went

It took me years to realize I had a lot more people to impress to get a book contract than just an agent and a publisher.

As we're approaching the Blaze pre-order (date releasing soon), I decided to do a fun giveaway.

The world of writing is a world of nos. You send out 100 emails in hopes of at least one yes.

Frustrated with the constant changing rules of social media? I was. Until I thought of social media like a video game.
