I’m the most disorganised person ever and that is never a good trait when you are an indie author. I know I missed my regular blog update, but mainly because the last week really kicked my rearend. First we had the ARC release – the majority of the ARC team getting the standard eBook butContinue reading “The ARCs, The book and the tiredness.”

Lunch break rush.
Today was a little insane. At work day like every day. Sick and injured, running through ED like we have revolving doors and in the midst of this me. A misbegotten author who sucks in marketing counting the time to enrol our book in the new SPFBO. For those who don’t know what SPFBO is,Continue reading “Lunch break rush.”
