With my return, I bring the announcement of a Black Friday sale currently available for both The Otherfolk and Beyond the Wall!

The day has finally come - no more AI incidents or cover fiascos can stop me now! As of about half an hour ago, you can read the first chapter of Beyond the Wall right here on my blog!

27 hours ago, Beyond the Wall's cover was sitting on my best friend's desk as she touched it up with watercolor paints and pens. Tonight, my proof copy is printing in Tennessee, on track to be at my house by Friday.

A week ago today, I found out that my book cover was AI created without my knowledge. Since then, I've contacted Fiverr's support team, spoken to three different Customer Service Representatives, and gotten nowhere....

How my copyright got rejected because my cover artist lied about using A.I.

After a long process, I'm finally ready to rerelease The Otherfolk with its brand-new, illustrated cover...

It's been a minute, but with mid-July comes three exciting announcements: an interview, a cover, and a release date!

If you want to self-publish through Amazon, through IngramSpark, or on your own, you're going to need an ISBN. But what is it, and why exactly do you need one?

If you don't know, I self-published through IngramSpark. IngramSpark isn't a publisher like Scholastic or Bandersnatch - it's a website that partners with indie authors to help them self-publish books.

Once you've proofed and purchased everything you need... it's time to publish! Technically, you've done what you need to do, but there is more you can do to make it a bigger success.

After you've finished the incredibly long and tedious editing process, it's time for the proofing process - and while you're proofing, you'll want to start purchasing...

There are 18 days until my work in progress, The Otherfolk, comes out! Which means my first post on how the self-publishing process works: editing.
