Summer Update

Hey, Lovelies!

Apparently, it has been a while since I posted a blog. Not sure how time always manages to slip through my grasp, or maybe my chaotic life is finally catching up to me & I’m losing my sense of time. Regardless, I’m here now with an update for you.

I recently created a new book promo group on Facebook. It’s called Monster in the Cookie Jar Book Promo. My inspiration came from frustration and the lack of funds to promote the way big-name authors do for their babies (books). The indie author community is big, but we often go unseen because we don’t have a loud enough megaphone. I’m hoping that by creating this book promo group, authors will be able to share their books (covers, links, etc.) and get seen by readers who might not have ever come across the author. Readers finding new authors is my coinciding goal.

The Facebook group isn’t the only new thing that I have done recently. I took the plunge and joined Patreon. I will be posting free content and member-only content for readers known as Escape Reality Perks membership. Escape Reality Perks comes with several perks such as swag, signed books, behind-the-scenes content, and more.

I’m still trying to find my footing on the platform, but I’m sure a guru will come along and guide me so that I can provide great content to those who follow my page.

Yesterday, I recorded and published a new book podcast episode. It was a huge pain in the behind. My computer absolutely hated me!!! I wanted to frisbee toss it off the balcony. I’m sure my family thinks I’m nuts from all my screaming and fussing. Somehow, I regained my composure and finished my podcast.

Hmm.. what else is new my way?

At the end of May, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have since then been searching for a job in the mental health field. It has been discouraging. Prior to my degree, employers wanted employees who had a bachelor’s, and now they want master’s degrees and PhDs.

My boyfriend has had to listen to my frustrations about how I just can’t catch a break in life. I guess he prayed really hard to the mental health gods and goddesses because I finally had an interview. I even got a follow-up interview with the boss. She said I will be hearing from HR soon. I still can’t believe it. If I am allotted this opportunity, I am going to use it to my full advantage to help make a difference.

As a parent of a special needs kiddo, I know how ugly and hard it can be to get resources for those in the mental health & disability community. I don’t want any parent or caregiver to go through what my family and I have gone through. It has been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, and I wish that upon no one.

No one should have to suffer because they are different.

Different, not less.

Sorry about that. I found myself starting to go on a tangent. Eek!

Let’s talk about something more upbeat.

Josette Reuel and I co-published a few books this year:
