It's been a while...

Hello everyone! It's been a while! Life happened and before I knew it, a few years had gone by. What's up with me? I had a baby, lost a different unborn baby, a couple of our cats got old and died (R.I.P. Bernie and Ginger), and then I broke my foot. Badly. You'd think laying in bed for two and a half months would really motivate me to get my book done, but being in severe blinding pain really doesn't motivate you to do much other than try to sleep.
Here's the situation: I'm getting ready to publish my debut novel. I'm going through final edits right now, then I've got to do the boring stuff like buy an ISBN, copyright the thing, format it for digital AND physical sales (blech!). But I've also been working on social media and email newsletter campaigns. Specifically, I've been brainstorming with chatGPT on how to make it a unique experience for YOU, and with the help of AI, I've come up with some ideas.
If you've been paying attention on social media (namely Facebook and Instagram), I've been teasing character images.
If you sign up for my email news letter, not only will you get all the boring information like updates on the project, timelines, release dates etc. You'll also be the first to see the cover, any character bios I publish on social media will come to you FIRST, and you will get EXCLUSIVE access to insider information. By insider, I mean... inside the world of my book. These are journal entries, letters, case studies, doctor's notes, sketches, etc FROM the characters DIRECTLY into your inbox. These are not things you will see anywhere else, including the novel its self, but if you pay close attention while you're reading the book (once you get it in your hands), these messages from the characters will be of some significance.
So don't delay. What are you waiting for? Go sign up for the email list. You can re-load the home page and a pop up "Never miss an update" will be available to you. Otherwise you can scroll down to the bottom of the page and fill out the form there to provide your email.
See you in your inbox! ~Heather
