What am I up to? 

If you’ve made it this far, it means you’re (one of the very few) genuinely curious about what’s next so, I’m going to be honest and say, I’m not sure.

Around May of 2024 I forced myself to pick a launch date for Mine to Match (because I’m goal driven and wouldn’t have released otherwise) and went full out –  spending around $5k from commissioning an artist for my cover, to hiring a production company, to partnering with well known entities to market/advertise.

I even tried (what I thought was) a fun idea to do a “give back” launch where people who donated to their food bank would be entered for a chance to win a copy of my book AND a donation to their food bank (by me) in their honor.  Annnnd, not a one person played. Epic fail – heh.

More than that though, it’s been almost 2 weeks since MtM’s launch and it’s made less than $10. Ten dollars, yo…. Ouch. *winces and bites her knuckle Dorothy-style*

As it turns out – based on new president/boycotts/world unrest,  I probably couldn’t have picked a worse date.  Or – with more realistic honesty –  maybe I’m just not that good of a writer, and I’m just more clearly seeing the writing that’s been on the wall? 

Still! I don’t – AT ALL – regret writing and publishing my sassy little love stories. Doing so has been so freaking joyful (with a huge chunk of angst too tho, not gonna lie). 

I’ve got a few stories I’m tinkering with here and there but, well…we’ll see? I (like many authors), am just gonna step back a bit. *insert an “I don’t know” shrug here*

All the best, YdO (03/11/2025)
