"The Interview"
One thing I would like to tell my readers:
I would just like to tell my readers thank you. This journey started for me as a very personal thing, but I continue because now you are invested in my work as well. It fills my heart with joy to know that you love my characters as much as I do, and I can’t wait to share the rest of my stories with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Advice for other authors:
Find a group of like-minded authors and support the heck out of each other. I have a group of writers, the Indie Fabs, who do that for me and I can’t tell you what a difference that makes. No matter what, they are there to support, and we help each other in finding the ever-elusive marketing opportunities. If you can find that group of two or three or more people, you will be taking a huge step in advancing your own journey. And whatever you do, never give up. If you believe in your work, if you have a great product, then others will follow. Finding those others may not be easy, but it is so worth the effort. Best of luck to you all.
