It’s been a huge pleasure to share with you along the way and hear from readers all over, and I have exciting news to share now.
First I’d like to provide a little context. I’ve been successfully self publishing for almost three years, but “Self” or “Indie” publishing isn’t a solo operation at all. I’ve utilized a team of freelancers to help with editing, proof reading and cover design, and I feel I’ve continuously improved the quality of my writing and book production. I’m also working with A.K. Waters at Zulu 7 Productions, who has helped with several projects including Point Hope.
I published Point Hope in the middle of June, and I’ve been happily overwhelmed with reader response! It sold 5,000 copies in less than two months. It’s also been picked up by Montlake Romance, an Amazon Imprint. Montlake will relaunch the book this fall, but it’ll remain for sale on Amazon until we’re ready to switch over. This feels like a natural next step. I’m very excited to to work with Montlake because I can reach even more readers. And of course, I’m looking forward to sharing more of my writing journey with you!
