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!

On the cusp of publishing my last book (March 2023), I quit my job at the bookstore to write full time and edit manuscripts for clients. The change in jobs, the hard push of publication...

Writer Craft Writing Retreat and Workshop Hello Writers! The retreat is coming up in just two weeks. We still have a few three-day tickets left, and there are Day Passes, as well. You can get the final details HERE, and buy the tickets HERE. One last announcement: In case you were on the fence about coming to the retreat, I've decided I will not be hosting one next year.
