Meet me @ {9} The Gallery on Friday, August 4th. Join me for a cup of coffee while I read a few pieces from my book, The Secret Butterfly Trail. Come hang out with me during the First Friday Phoenix Art Walk and buy my book. The owner of {9}, Laura Dragon, is battling cancer. Half of all the proceeds from the evening will go directly to her for medical costs. See you there!
What a difference four years can make. Not only was I younger, I was totally inexperienced in the way of becoming an Indie Author. I look at this photo today, New Year's Day, 2017, and reminisce about the pre-butterfly period, my cocoon stage - the metamorphosis of my life. I journaled daily, as I do even now, putting together the chapters that would become The Secret Butterfly Trail. Learning how to create a website for myself and establish an online presence using social media was overwhelming. Once I was immersed in it, it became second nature and eventually turned into a website and social media business of my own. My writing style has changed over the years. I have learned to pull out all the stops and allow the raw, real, emotional writing to flow. |
