Year in Review and a Happy New Year!
Today, I celebrate the fourth anniversary of becoming an indie author.
Hello, friends,
It’s the end of 2023, and the new year is approaching which means that it’s time for a year-in-review post. Coincidentally, December 31st is the day I became an indie author in 2019 when I published my first short story collection, Soul Seeks the Truth. Since then, I haven’t stopped writing and have multiple short story collections, poetry collections, and novellas published across various genres.
Recap of 2023 Writing Journey:
In 2023, I have published six books, a new edition of a previously published book, and written even more. So, let’s talk about the books that came out in 2023 and what you can expect in 2024.
Tell Me a Fairytale is a collection of five original fairy tales written for younger audiences but I’m sure even adults will enjoy these stories.
A world beyond your world,
The truth only a few can see,
And a place where your wildest dreams can be;
Take a leap of faith,
Hold your breath,
And read to your heart's content.
Demons & Dreams is a short story about a man who is fighting his inner demons while also trying to learn the meaning behind his dreams. He will soon embark on a journey of self-discovery wherein he must find inner peace, acceptance, and love through his heritage.
Monsters & Mysteries is a collection of short stories. This book is for lovers of all things mysterious and unconventional. What type of mischief you would discover between the pages of this book is anyone’s guess. Open at your own peril!
Depths Untrodden is an illustrated collection of poetry. Each piece takes you to the depth of human emotion
No Word Unsaid is also a poetry collection.
I also published the second edition of the novella, Dream Within Dream. The edition has a new cover and a few extra chapters.
And My Latest Release that Went Live Today:
Story of a young woman who is trying to navigate a male-dominated profession. Will she ever be able to earn the respect of her colleagues and the world at large or will she give up before her dreams are realized?
Blurb: As Maya pursues her aspirations, an uninvited guest enters her heart—love. It arrives silently, like a butterfly's delicate touch, and disrupts her carefully planned life. The path she thought she had figured out becomes a labyrinth of emotions she never anticipated. Love's unpredictable nature forces Maya to navigate uncharted territory, challenging her beliefs and priorities.
I hope you find your next favorite read among these. Don’t forget to check them out and as always, happy reading.
I am so proud of you and the way you have never stopped writing :) You are an inspiration, my friend.
