The Story So Far

Beta readers hired

I have officially hired 3 professional beta readers to read the 2nd draft. Their feedback will shape the third, and hopefully final draft! 2 week turnaround time for their feedback, and then I am giving myself 2 months to make revisions. Fingers crossed. Either query letters will go out in December, or self publishing on KDP. Either way I am seeing a light at the end of this, and it is looking bright!

I’m gonna write a book

After years of reading this story in my head to myself, I finally decided to sit down and write it out. Little did I know that I would have to learn proper grammar and punctuation first (thank you William. You’re a very patient teacher).
