I feel a bit of chagrin with this post since my last post was titled “Hello World, it’s been a while,” and that was dated October 2017. Has it really been that long?
My absence is a result of needing money. I’m a musician which pays a lot better than being a writer, at least for me. I know there are writers out there who make big bucks or even enough bucks to live on. I pretty much make coffee bucks with my writing. However, I love to write. I have never entirely given up on my stories, or on learning how to be a better writer. Ironically, I have been in a crit group for the past five years.
What I truly gave up on was branding myself. I tried various things with book covers and blog posts and giveaways. But I never really understood how to package myself. For one, I’m very eclectic. As a musician, I play jazz, classical, pop even Irish music and that’s normal. But in the book world, a writer writes modern romance. Or they write fantasy. Or they write mystery. If they write all three, they often have three different pen names. I like to write romance. I like to write fantasy. I don’t want to create two different brands because I’m not a marketer. I’m an indie writer.
And I love to write. And I’ve missed the frequency with which I used to write. And I’ve missed sharing stories with readers.
So I invite you to join me again! If you like contemporary romance, I welcome you. If you like a little magic with your romance, I welcome you. If you are looking for something a little different, I welcome you.
I’ve been sneaking some of my old stories back on to the Amazon shelf, and I even added a new one. I’ll write some blogs about them soon…I promise 🙂
In the meantime, I would love for you to check out my Amazon Page!
