Published Finally!



You've read right!  I am finally a published author. I haven't blogged here in a while! Please forgive me if you were following this journey.  So many things have transpired in the midst of me trying to get this book published, but I finally got it out.  Praise Jesus! 

 I tried numerous times to publish traditionally, and I was constantly rejected. When it came to Christian traditional publishers, they seemed to be more interested in who I knew, and how many social media followers I had. Now I understand why so many new authors self-publish or go through independent publishing companies.  If you don't know someone famous,  influential, or have a huge platform to promote yourself it can feel next to impossible.  

I worked with Executive Business Writing out of California to get my book published. That was the best decision I could have made for this assignment.  They were a perfect match and the Ceo, Dr. Beverly Crockett is a phenomenal partner to have.  You can find out more about what they offer  by visiting beverlycrockett.com the site is very user friendly.

My book, Accountable to God,  released this month!  I've now started the process of marketing, and getting the word out about my book. I'm finding that this is the "real" work! Writing and finishing it was easier, believe it or not.  So far I've been using social media to promote my book, which is one of the most cost effective ways to do this! 

 I will begin to market more locally and plan a book launch and signing, in my current community within the next month. I am not sure how all of this works but I'll figure it out!  If you would like a copy of my book. You can secure your copy of Accountable to God, by purchasing through my blog at https://accountabletogodthebook.blogspot.com.  I will personally ship you a signed copy, or you can purchase on Amazon.com. 

Stay tuned!

I will be sharing my efforts to market and promote this book, as well as my next book assignment! 

Well, Until Next Time...
