Dear Indie authors:
In the 4 months since I launched my 3rd book, Iāve now earned what it cost to produce.
I also booked 3 book club appearances, 5 author talks, (3 of them paid), 6 podcasts, & 4 interviews. Almost quit a few years ago. Keep going!
{LIFE OF CYN is Free today}

Never got a single agent like in 6 pitch fests. But my fave pitch I used is now my top grossing Ad copy on Amazon, with the most clicks of the 70 Ads Iām running. Tryinā to find an agent wasnāt a total waste of time. (I self-pubbed & have made my most book $ yet, in 3 months)

One month ago today I had my most successful launch ever, and LIFE OF CYN continues to flourish.
To celebrate & thank my readers, Iāve made this book free today on Amazon. Check out THE LAST CRUZ, about three young women on a KILLER vacation.
P.S. These books are unrelated.

My 3rd indie book release party happened last night, with freezing rain in Boston. The support was incredible, the bookstore sold out (luckily I brought extras) and this 1st month has blown previous sales out of water. Itās great to be indie these days!
I outed my high school rapist on FB in 2015 & learned of 9 other victims in 24 hours. His engagement ended, but thatās all that happened to him. So I wrote a novel about a woman who goes after her rapist 20 yrs after the fact, & does everything I wish we couldāve down to ours. šš»

Iām not a reg Tweeter so I donāt expect much, but itās funny that a špost about my query journey last yr garnered 1000+ likes & comments like: donāt quit, you can do this! But my špost about early reviews on that same book being 5-stars, only got 20 likes.
Misery ā¤ļøās company.

After an emotionally trying week, Iām super excited to report that I received my 10th early review on Goodreads today, and they are all 5-stars so far. It makes the 5 years this book took, full of of blood, sweat, and tears, totally worth it.
LIFE OF CYN releases 12/27.

Have you guys heard about the global technical issue on Amazon thatās causing some books to get stuck in the review process after authors hit āpublish?ā Iāve watched three authors deal with this, one of them had their paperback release delayed by nine weeks! š³ 1/4
