Picking the Pieces Up of an Audiobook Mess!
Soooo….my book is about recovering from devastation..the unexpected…when the pieces around you all fall and you don’t know where to begin to pick them up. How appropriate right now for me when I was TRYING to (unsuccessfully) to promote my audiobook- well, KEEP READING! Two nights ago, I began a large marketing effort to promote my Amazon kindle/paperback to an audiobook on Audible. It was a good part of a YEAR in the making. Between auditioning narrators, going back and forth through the right sound and feel, handling contracts, I finally dotted all the i’s and crossed the t’s and it was finally ready to be released on Audible and…

Ready…Set…RELAX!
Have you ever been given the opportunity to take a few hours for yourself to just…relax? Has someone ever offered to take the kids for the afternoon so that you can kick back and just…relax? Well, sometimes I get that beautiful gift and I seem to screw it up. EVERY. TIME. Let’s take today, for example. I woke up with back pains and not feeling all so great. My wonderful other half offered to take the children bowling and grocery shopping after we did a few other necessary things. The house had already been cleaned yesterday, so I could truly relax and enjoy my surroundings. It would give him some…

How This Book Happened
So…How DID this book happen? What made you write it? Why did you write it? I’ve heard all of these questions from my family and friends. It started as a project to write something small, maybe just a quick e-book, on a few tips I had learned when I was a struggling single mom. It started with Google slides – pre-made slides – that looked awful – and it resembled something of a business Power Point presentation.
