Thank you. But I can't take any credit for it - it's a beautiful spot. A place to heal the soul. :-)

Author's always feel their books need more work. Sometimes you just have to step away.

I'm so used to these spam emails now that I automatically delete every agent email I receive (except for my own agent, of course. :-))

I really do have the best friends. Two surprises in two days - you have me spoiled, ladies. One from friends in Australia and American, the other from just down the road. Both brought a huge smile to my face. 😁 #friends #itsthelittlethings

Oh, yes. Feedback from others is SO important. We get much too close to our work to see it properly.

The biggest questions I get about AI: How do I protect myself from an agent or publisher (or other publishing professional) using AI on my work? How do I protect myself from a false accusation of AI use? Unfortunately, these questions don’t have straightforward answers, but here I try my best.

This is a terrific and straightforward explanation for partnering with a bookstore, and it's similar to the process I followed. It's most likely to work if you have a traditional publisher but I've seen it work for indie authors, too. From M. Stevenson.

In this excerpt from It Depends: An Author’s Practical Guide to Debut Year, M. Stevenson shows how indie shops can contribute to a traditionally-published book’s launch strategy.
