Author Update #5
Hello Everyone, For the first time in what feels like the last year and a half, I finally feel like I’m getting back into the creative groove of things.

Habits that have helped me become a better writer.
Something I had been reflecting on a lot during my hiatus was my inability to focus on my writing.

Book proof came in, looking good to publish!
Hi Everyone!Happy New Year! Great news! My book proof came in late last week and I’m currently going through page by page to make sure there isn’t any formatting issues.

Book Proof still has not arrived
Hello everyone, While this has been a frustrating wait for the final book proof to arrive, I do have to acknowledge several things.
