• How I Created Author Merchandise & How You Can Too

  

  Everyone sells merchandise. What was once only done by musicians’ teams has expanded to the point where everyone can do it. Including authors, and not just the big names.

• The Books of My Life

  

  I am shamelessly stealing this concept from Entertainment Weekly from when they did an interview with Taylor Jenkins Reid. I found it interesting and introspective, so I’m doing it for myself. I can’t promise it will be as interesting or introspective, but you’ll learn something new about me. And hey, that’s something too. The first […]
