Self-Publishing and Marketing your Book

It is hard, and I am absolutely no expert! My memoir series Sweet Melissa is actually doing better than expected at this point. I am three books into the series, and I am going to stop wasting so much time on social media, and continue to write more books. I heard this from an expert, and that was the advise I was given. Just keep on writing! So, book four of the Sweet Melissa series will be out soon. The subtitle is "Destination Unknown". It is a continuation as are all my books in this series. The series is an inspirational read about overcoming adversity. Yes, it took me many years to recover from addiction and abuse, but the bottom line is, I did overcome! I believe anyone can. With a strong mind, hard work, perseverance, and faith in the man above, anything is possible! Love, Peace, and Happiness

The American Opioid Epidemic and Mental Illness

Someone Like Me-Is there a connection between addiction and mental illness? I say there is! Some people say that addiction is a choice, but I know for a fact that it’s not.

Sure, I am no pro and I am not a doctor, but I have a genuine real life experience and a story to tell. I hope that you will open your mind to the possibility, or shall I say the reality, that addiction is indeed a disease and not a choice.

Editing a manuscript is like editing your life! Search for the mistakes and fix them! Book One of The Sweet Melissa Memoir Series has been revised! No worries! I’m sure it has plenty of commas stuck in the wrong place! It also has dialogue and a more descriptive value including what? EMOTION,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,#Recovery #Adiction #OneDayAtATime If you need to hire an editor/life coach then do it! If you’re stubborn like me and you want to do it alone, then be prepared for the criticism. Go through the pages of your manuscript/life one word at a time. Find an easy flow. Don’t make it complicated with terms you don’t understand and ask for help when you can. There’s one thing I’ve found to be true, and that’s putting comma’s in the right place. I habitually overuse them . I guess they are my “NEW DRUG of CHOICE” and sometimes I follow my own rules of punctuation. If I need a pause or a break, I shove one in! I am a comma addict, but I’m

Behind Blue Eyes

Book Seven will be out soon! I have an editor now and everything is going as planned, just a bit behind schedule. I am going to expose a certain something that I didn’t intentionally leave out of my other books. I think that you will find it interesting and as always, I hope to inspire and help at least one person.
