What’s up fishes!
I literally had to pinch myself at 12:01 pm today. I’m so pleased to announce that Pirates of Montana placed 3rd in the Inkshares/Geek & Sundry contest, and will be fully published!!
On January 1st, 2016, after I kissed my family in celebration of the New Year, I turned to my husband and said that my New Years resolution for 2016 would be to write and publish my book. I’d been talking about it for several years, and knew that I’d probably go the self-publishing route. And when I saw Geek & Sundry’s post in early April, I knew I had to enter.
Crash forward to today, and its actually happening! By 12:30 pm today, I was banging my head with a book in disbelief (mostly due to my toddler’s antics, but events were coinciding).
Congratulations to Tal Klein (The Punch Escrow) and Brian Guthrie (After Man)!! You both ran fantastic campaigns!! I cannot wait to read your books!
A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that pre-ordered the book. I am so fortunate, and it’s entirely because of you. Your support, your encouragement, your help, your tolerance with my dinosaur meme obsession -- you are my cheering squad, and I’m grateful for it.
A enormous THANK YOU to the Break the Bechdel of Strong Female Characters Syndicate. I was shocked to be nominated and felt exhilarated to win for the Month of May!!! Your support means the world, and I will do you proud! Molly Tanner will do you proud!
Words cannot express how thankful I am to find the community of Inkshares. Several of you have reached out to me for support and advice, and I’m grateful for it. I look forward to many more discussions!!
Thank you Mark Nassi, Tom Steele, Bryan Steele (my Quill purchaser!!), the Evan family, and my wonderful husband Adam. You are my biggest supporters, and I love you all.
I will be keeping you all posted on the book’s progress weekly, so stay tuned!!
Now, all we have to do is wait for Geek & Sundry’s decision on May 25!
It’s the final countdown!
Dear Friends
I know what you are thinking: two updates in a row!! What?!
I’ll be quick. I just want to make you aware that today is International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT)
I know that many of you are strong supporters of the LGBTQ community, so I wanted to share with you the website where you will find information regarding this day of action.
Also, I want to remind you of my own initiative within Inkshares to support LGBTQ authors and allies: Write Out Loud.
By joining Write Out Loud, every month you will be supporting the work of many talented authors in Inkshares. You also will get a book to add to your collection.
The mission of this syndicate is not only to support authors in their path to publication, but also to point readers interested in novels with diverse characters toward books that offer this, by giving our seal of approval.
That’s it. I promise I won’t bother you for a while.
Have a great week!
