I’m learning a great deal about this community of independent author’s I find myself joining – how authors promote their books, what services they use to make their work available, and that it’s correct to think of myself as an author ¹. All of these lessons only serve to make me more excited to see the book released!

I also received one piece of advice from my librarian friend, who will be known only as “Xina Phoenix Xchester ²,” I had never before considered. She all but ordered me to get an author page on Goodreads. What a great idea! And, after the gracious folks who serve as Goodreads’ volunteer librarians dealt with a few of my miscues ³, I am now listed as an author on the social network designed for readers!

I hope you’ll follow my author page, ask me lots of questions, and see what I’m up to on the blog you’ll find there. Even more, I hope you enjoy In The Land Of The Penny Gnomes as much I’ve enjoyed the process of creating it!
