The Importance of Promoting

This blog is going to be a little unique. I'm known for promoting the shit out of my books like non-stop, it's the work of being an Author when you can't afford marketing, some of us can't even market our books to save our lives. So, in the beginning of my career, I learned that KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) has a way to do either Kindle Countdown Deal or Free Book Promotion. I'll explain what they are. Kindle Countdown Deal : Kindle Countdown Deals (KCD) allows authors to run limited-time discounts only for Kindle eBooks on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk Customers will see the regular price and the promotional price on the Kindle eBook's detail page. They will also see the countdown clock. This clock shows how much time is left to purchase the Kindle eBook at the promotional price. You will earn the selected royalty rate on each sale during the promotion. Note: If you're located in a territory not supported to purchase from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk, you may...

Back To Being A Full Time Author

I'm sure you all remembered when I said I would be working to make a living cause honestly, I hated being disabled and stuck at home all the time. Well, I went to work for McDonald's to only last on one day which was Monday, August 25th, 2025 to end up in tears because people are rude and as my neighbor adult boy said that they are assholes. Now, I know most would want to know what went down. As a disabled person I will break it down for you. 1. I can't take out trash heavier than me. 2. I can't mop and sweep because they are both heavy. 3. I was told not to be standing around, so I cleaned tables...my mistake not rinsing out washcloths properly (my bad). I did learn which one went into what bins for the cloths. 4. I had told them many times I have never worked a register or anything like that my whole life since I've been disabled and still am technically. 5. They ignored me when I said no many times on things I couldn't do.  6. I ended up towards the end of my...

Life Has Changed

I didn't think I'd have the courage to make a blog entry for this month but I have news to share, I know it'll get back to my ex (baby daddy) unfortunately. Don't worry I'm still writing and producing content but it will be slowing down immensely. It wasn't my life choice to begin with. Reality has set in that I am no longer Disabled through Social Security, it wasn't my choice or any warning, it just happened back in June then my last payment for July. Did I want this? No. Will I have to work? Yes. I will have to get a job and I'm in search of one cause I do have to take care of my teenager. Can I get Disability back? Yes, but I need a Paper Trail once again, I have to get back to seeing doctors and everything to get it all in order to prove of all my health conditions. Do I want to do this? Honestly, no, I rather work until my body says no more but that isn't my reality. As mentioned in a post several years back I do have a heart condition along wi...

Creating Is Believing In You

You want to know what hurts me about my career? Never finishing what I started. I took all the hate and damage with me to make new works because my older books weren't enough to please people. Remember how I mentioned that I went to WeInk App and fixed some of my books? Do you want to know how many? Eight books. Which ones you may ask? Jana & Angel A Girl For Her Series: Volume 2 Jana & Angel A Girl For Her Series: Volume 3 Annabel's Fate Fate Of Her Path Series: Volume 1 Shadow's Of Despair Fate Of Her Path Series: Volume 2 A Girl For Her Power Of Love  When They Kissed Butterflies For all the years of bullcrap that I went through to prove my worth. To show that I can do it. I did do it. I did sit there for years perfecting my craft. What no one took note of is how much my story developments have grown. What I have taken time to correct of myself. I have learned, yes, editing is a good thing and for going through 2 edits of Power Of Love was really a tough one. Do ...

How Did I Become A Writer?

It will be a double blog day.  I'm honestly loving writing blogs instead of posting video's of myself.  I do get asked this question a lot especially from Promoters, Book marketers, Readers, and fellow Authors. I'm bombarded daily with my career since releasing more content. What can say an Author with 30 books is a huge achievement.  What really began my writing journey? Poetry. I met my ex best friend Sheila (Tobias) Jarrett through AllPoetry. I didn't know how to write Poetry well to be honest. I still don't to be fair. My Poetry book that I've shared with the world isn't the most glamourous of my world of works. It shows truth behind who I am and what made me write to begin with.  When did stories come into play? Honest answer after moving to StoryWrite is where I began writing my book Clinging To Love, my Dad encouraged me to write short stories at first. So, I would write a bunch of small stories and had reached readers. It was my real taste of writing...

Grieving, Depression, and Anger

I feel like since the loss of my mother in law Allison it has become a rocky road of emotions. Like I mentioned before, we didn't see eye to eye because I don't drink often and I don't like cigarettes as I'm highly allergic from the ashes. Yes, it is that serious. I'm also a heart disease patient so any thing that is bad for me can do damage to my heart if I'm not careful. Her result that day for me having a bad breathing attack cause of my heart was Benadryl. Was it wrong? No. But that wasn't going to cure me at all. It wasn't allergy related. Her home was permeated with smoke like my Grandparent Kissel's side was. I couldn't stay long around people who smoke for my own health reasons. I have somehow offended by not being able to stay in her house that day. She also denied Xia water that same day after me and Larry went to have lunch. Our biggest regret was leaving our kid with her without knowing what was gonna happen. I mean my ex sister in la...

Who Are My Favorite Writers/Authors?

I saw this from another friend's blog. I'll be honest, I have shared my list many times over the years. My Goodreads Group has my latest one but I never shared it Publicly and also I have a huge list. I'm a lover of books since I could read. I'm sure you all would appreciate a light hearted post from me as my last few probably sounded like I'm stressed beyond words and truthfully, I am. I'm overwhelmed, exhausted, and running on little to no fumes to get through day to day. So, with that being said here is my list. W.A. Ashes K.D. Hilt Angelina Kerner L.D. Wosar Jason Blayne Cassandra Jones Hayden Robinson Meg Cabot Marissa Meyer Richelle Mead Sherrilyn Kenyon Rachel Renee Russell J.J. Arias A.M.
