My shop is now open!

I update the 'Home' page with information regularly (rather than posting on social media). Be sure to check in if you're interested in what's going on with me/the books!

Virin's new cover is finished!

Y'all. 😂 It's so perfect and so good. 

It's currently in the process of updating on retailers. (The ebook.) You can head to my shop now to see it! 

Important things: I decided that I was not going to wait for things to do other things. What a vague statement to say... After the fiasco (check out the post about it, if you don't know, but know that I have not updated that post and a lot did change since the last update) and a few other things, I've decided that I AM going to detach from Amazon in some ways. I am changing my paperbacks from Amazon to IngramSpark (who will distribute them to Amazon). It is going to be a long (and expensive) process. I do not know what headaches or issues might arise. They also will be a little bit more expensive, and I will make a little bit less per purchase. But not having one company holding my work above my head again sounds ideal.
If you want to support my effort with that, please consider purchasing some of my books or donating at my shop. Every little bit helps, every book of mine that you read helps. (And, hopefully, they help you too, even if it's just good company to spend a day with.)

In a personal sense, my loved one who was in the hospital earlier in the year? They are hospitalized again, out of the state.

It's been a rough and crazy year here. BUT. I am doing my best to hold onto bright things. Like this new cover, which is SO FREAKING PERFECT. I love it so much.🥰

It will be a little while before the new paperback is available. Normally, I would wait to change the ebook until then. I couldn't wait. I love the new cover so much. So, just gotta get everything ready with IngramSpark, get it approved, order a proof, then publish it. I know from doing hardcovers that the process is a bit (or a lot) slower than with KDP (Amazon). Looking at a couple weeks, at least, opposed to 1/2-1. But. It will be worth it, I truly feel. Even considering all the concerns/worries about 'in stock' issues and such. I just feel, in my soul, that I've got to break free from this 'Amazon hold', as much as I can. I never again want to go through what they put me through.

Anyway. I really do appreciate any support. If you love the new cover, I'd love to hear about it!

Hoping y'all are having an easier go of things than I've/we've been having here!

PS) Inspiration struck again, and it's legitimately the coolest book idea ever. Can't wait to be able to get started on it.... Just gotta get done with a few other things, to get to a free patch of time....

PPS) Clarification about 'publishing time'. I just want to clarify that it's half a week to a week with Amazon and longer with IngramSpark AFTER all the files are done and in place. I don't want to make it sound like it's just skipping along super fast here. I'm having to reformat everything. (Moving to 6x9 from 5.5x8.5 and doing so with what I've worked on to find is optimal internal formatting (font/spacing, so on) (personal preference, for readability... only took a few years). Even if everything goes super easy, no issues with this, having over twenty books already released, getting them changed, this process is going to take me a LONG time. But please just be aware that there might be days or two here or there where a paperback may not be available, while it's in the process of delisting in one place and being published elsewhere or is working on getting the new paperback 'attached to' my ebook. But, hopefully, it should only be a day or two at a time. I hope. 

Wish me luck, please. <3
