Happy Birthday, Beautiful Demons! (Spooktacular Day 11)

Wow!! It’s crazy to believe that my first novel, Beautiful Demons, made its debut eleven years ago today. I can still remember the excitement and joy I felt releasing that novel into the world, and sitting here eleven years later, I still know it is one of the best things I’ve ever done. Taking my career and future into my own hands was the first step toward my dream life, but I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for each of you who has taken a chance on me and my books.

Celebrating 6 Years of Indie Publishing

  Happy Book Birthday to Beautiful Demons!!!! It was exactly six years ago today that my very first novel was published. I was excited and so in love with Harper and the story I had created, but I had no idea that Beautiful Demons would resonate with so many people! My first full month, I sold something like 59 copies of that first book, and I was on cloud nine! Someone was reading my book!! Of course, I knew back then that it was mostly friends and family, but I didn’t care. I had done something wild and free by…
