So,
it's a new year, and I have something exciting to share with you all.
I AM FINALLY
GOING TO PUBLISH MY DEBUT NOVEL!!!
That
was so, so fun to write. If
you've been following me since I started this blog in 2011 to
now, you'll know the journey to publication for me has been a long one. Over the years, I went from querying agents to signing with
one to going it alone once again.
Last
year was the toughest year of my life.
I lost my best friend in December.
She was my first reader, my shoulder to cry on, my favorite person of
all time, and I miss her every day. I
deeply regret that she is not here to see me publish a book. But I know that she would've wanted to see me
do it. So, this one is for her.
I
know that I'll make some mistakes along the way. Going "indie" is hard--as I'm sure
a lot of you authors know--but I'm going to stick it out. I'm not scared anymore. Or at least I'm not scared of the same
things. I want my books to find
readers. I want to make my family proud.
So,
I will be publishing my debut in 2016 :).
If
you'd like to follow my journey on my new author website, you can
find it here:
I'll
still be posting reviews here (I'm still Ninja Girl!), but I hope you'll come and visit The Cookie Jar.
Authorly
peeps and blogger peeps: I'd love any advice you'd like to give me. I write YA romance, and it's my first time traveling this road. Any help, wisdom, or encouragement you can
spare would be greatly appreciated. Hope
you're all having a great new year and that 2016 is treating you well!
Happy
reading,
Ninja
Girl
