January 2025 Marks A Major Milestone For Me...
January 2025 marks a major milestone for me—Celebrating 3 Years as a Self-Published Author!
If you had told me three years ago that I’d be a self-published author with 13 books under my belt, I probably would’ve laughed and said, “No way!”
Publishing 3–5 books a year seemed impossible. But today, I’m thrilled to say, it is possible!
So, how did I do it? With lots of determination, an incredible support system, and a process I’ve honed over time:
A
talented team, including an amazing editor and five creative illustrators.
A brilliant book designer who brings everything together beautifully.
A reliable offset printing company that delivers quality every time.
And, of course, a well-managed system that keeps everything running smoothly.
It wasn’t easy. It takes discipline, hard work, and yes—money. I’ve used Kickstarter to fund some of my books and invested my own funds to make this dream a reality. Building a business like this is more than just creating books—it’s about building something that will carry me into retirement and beyond.
And you know what? I wouldn’t trade a second of it. The effort, the time, and the sacrifices have all been worth it to see children enjoy these stories. None of this would have been possible without the strong work ethic instilled in me growing up.
Here’s to chasing your dreams, building something you love, and proving that with passion and perseverance, anything is possible.
A huge thank you to my talented team:
