Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

The last thing I got genuinely excited about was publishing I Will Rise, my poetry collection on living with mental and chronic illness, a few weeks ago.

I had to overcome a lot to get that book finished and released. I was, and still am, so proud of myself.

I made 2 sales within the first few days it was available, which was great!

I went through Lulu, and their global distribution is taking a while. Those are the only 2 sales I’ve made so far because it isn’t available at any major retailers yet. I can’t even get a payout until I sell more, but none of that really matters because I did it!

I hope to have a shop here on my website soon where I can sell the epub as well as some physical copies and book boxes! I just need to feel well enough to put all the work into updating the website to include that feature.

In the interim, if you’d like to read more about I Will Rise, you can do so on this page, or you can view and buy it in the Lulu bookstore.

You can also read two reviews from fellow authors Anneke Vliegen and Samantha Tate right here on this blog.
