Free Book


Hello!

I'm happy to announce I've just published another book. It's the first in a new series for writers.

The Focus and Finish series will have books on the business mindset for writers, like:

  • Goal-Setting and Strategic Planning for Writers
  • Strategies for Authors and Other Entrepreneurs
  • Checklists for Authors
  • Accountability for Authors

As a gift to my writing community (and as a marketing tool--let's be honest), I am offering the first book in the series for free. It's available right now on all the e-book stores for free, but if it is easier for you, here is the BookFunnel download link for the book: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/95s269s2oh

Happy writing and planning!

Our Costa Rica move is finally slated to happen next year, and I'll be focused on coordinating that. (It sounds like a...

... That's what my MoonX app affirmation said this morning. A perfect reminder to both treat and nurture yourself, but also to invest in yourself and do things a little out of your comfort zone. This year, not only have I opened the writer's retreat up to non-writers, I've also heard the need for Day Passes. Introducing: Day Passes Sometimes, we can't get away for three days. (We can't get the time off, child care would be too hard, and who would stay with the dogs?) I get it. Totally. The...
