Promoting yourself isn't easy.    Promoting yourself requires you to step outside of your comfort zone and reach out to people who could help promote your product. In my case, my product is my Unintended Travelers book series . I'm very proud of my books, but extremely humble about them, too. I want people to buy my books and enjoy them, but convincing them to do so is the challenge. I've worked for a long time developing the characters of Brooke and Bently, Henry, Pete, Father Ted, Liz, and even Fenton. Even now that I have been working on another book unrelated to this series, I can't help but continue to think about these characters. Each character has a characteristic of someone I've known over the years, and I've met and worked with many, many people throughout my 54 years of life. Even Jazmine and Golden, Liz's horses, were named after the two horses that my husband and I had several years ago. I used them as one way to pay homage to these sweet horses...

Whether or not to write a sequel to a book was something I didn't take lightly. I knew it was going to be a commitment if I decided to do it, and I worried whether I'd follow through with it or not, but apparently, I did. To begin with, I like reading books about alternative universes or being able to go back in time. I've always been intrigued by the concepts of these stories and the many possibilities that can result from them. When I started Unintended Travelers , Brooke and Bently weren't going back in time but went through some portal that brought them to an alternative universe instead. I got pretty far into the book, about 2 chapters deep when I decided that I didn't like where it was going and switched gears.  I didn't like where the story was going. It wasn't flowing as well as I had hoped, and I wasn't enjoying writing it at all. So, when I switched to them going back in time instead, it felt like it took on a life of its own. It just flowed so...
