ABOUT ME...
You might know me as a fast-moving indie author, rambling podcaster, aspiring author coach, and social media guru. But more than that...
I'm a hustler.
I'm a doer.
I'm a hardworking, self-published dreamer who's learned a thing or two over the years about writing, small-business, and the ever-evolving indie author world.
I've published over 15 books since 2012, and each experience has taught me something new about myself, my craft, and about self-publishing success.
