I Published My First Novel – Here’s What I Learned

I Published My First Novel - Here's What I Learned I’m thrilled to announce that my first novel has been published and is available as an eBook on Amazon. The paperback version will be coming in a few weeks.

This is a project that I’ve been working on since 2008. In fact, I’ve already started three sequels for this book that are in various states of completion. Those sequels were created during #NaNoWriMo that I participated in three times. If you’re not familiar with NaNoWriMo, it’s National Novel Writing Month and it happens every November. I started this one prior to learning about NaNoWriMo.
