🥰Just So Grateful 🌸

Since October Watched was released, I've sold 3 in person and 4 kindle editions! I have several arc readers who signed up for my Christmas horror in December. Then I was selected and became a part of the Next Creator Program for Lemon8 Careers, today. It's been amazing to see people loving October Watched and the excitement for my Christmas horror that's coming in December! Thank you all for being part of my journey and showing me love for my creations!

... Read moreAs an indie author, celebrating every milestone is truly rewarding. Selling three physical copies and four Kindle editions of "October Watched" shows the power of dedication and connecting with readers. Many indie authors find that participating in advanced reader copy (ARC) programs helps build anticipation for upcoming releases, just like signing up ARC readers for a Christmas horror story can generate early excitement and valuable feedback. Being selected for a program like the Next Creator Program through Lemon8 Careers is an exceptional opportunity. These programs support creators by providing resources, visibility, and a supportive community that fosters growth in the competitive publishing landscape. For fellow indie authors or aspiring writers, balancing writing, marketing, and community engagement is key. Sharing authentic journeys and gratitude resonates well with readers and builds a loyal audience. Platforms like Lemon8 offer unique spaces to connect beyond typical social media channels, especially when combined with hashtags like #indieauthor to reach niche communities. One important tip is to create consistent updates about your work and milestones without oversharing, maintaining a balance that keeps your audience intrigued and involved. Also, consider formats that enhance storytelling—such as behind-the-scenes looks at writing process or cover reveals—to deepen the reader connection. Overall, embracing the indie path means celebrating small wins and staying excited about future projects. With enthusiasm, community support, and strategic outreach, an indie author can achieve meaningful success and fulfillment on their creative journey.

😭 Good Ole Karma! A few weeks ago, I was in #lasvegas at the @therealwfg convention. Every time I'm in Vegas, I complain about how much I dislike Vegas. During this trip, I realized that I was being a piece of 💩. People go their whole lives wanting to go to Vegas and don't get to go.
