Why is my next book going LIVE on Kickstarter First?

Because I want to bring this story directly to you (my readers) without handing over control (and most of the profits) to giant corporations.

When authors sell through Amazon, they often lose up to 70% of each sale to fees, printing costs, advertising and the platform’s cut. That means fewer resources for us to create the books you love, fewer chances to offer beautiful editions, and less ability to reward loyal readers with bonuses and extras. Amazon’s algorithms also decide who sees a book, often burying smaller, independent voices in favor of big publishing houses.

Kickstarter flips that model on its head. It’s not like buying from a faceless mega corporation, it’s a direct connection between you and the author. When you back a Kickstarter, you’re not just buying a book. You’re helping bring it into the world. Every dollar goes into supporting the author to make the book better. Think gorgeous hardcover printing, custom interior artwork, and special rewards you can’t get anywhere else.

Currently Outlining: Never Alone

I’m currently doing the final read-through and revisions for Never Lose Hope, while also outlining the major plot points for the third book in the series.

Currently Reading: The Bright Side of Disaster

I’ve really enjoyed other books by this author, but this one didn’t quite resonate with me. Being her debut, it felt a bit rough around the edges. Still, I appreciate her growth and look forward to what she writes next.
