I know right 😭

Aww thank you! I’m so glad you liked it. And isn’t the Owlcrate edition gorgeous??

It’s time for my ever-growing thread of tax write-offs for authors & illustrators to keep in mind as we head into year-end.
✨ Book-related travel
✨ New computer/equipment
✨ Internet / office space
✨ Paper, office stuff, packaging items, stamps
✨ Software like Word, Scrivener, Canva Pro etc.

So excited this is announced!!

The secret is that other writers aren't competition; they're peers, colleagues and friends. Someone who reads me is going to read other writers as well; the entire publishing economy is "yes, and." Therefore it does me no harm, and much good, to support other writers and to wish them well.

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!

Ahh thank you! I appreciate that!

Aww thank you! 🖤

Ahhhh

A what now

I’m getting tons of new followers who I don’t recognize which is very cool!! But how are y’all finding me? I’m so curious 😂
