The first novel I publish will not be the first novel I wrote. This is not the way I planned it but life, for all the stranger-than-fiction moments it encompasses, does not necessarily follow the narrative arc of a novel. There are things we don’t get to choose. . .…
Self-Publish(?) or Perish: The New Digital Imperative
Posted on January 17, 2012 at 7:09am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Everybody loves a winner, an against-the-odds rise to the ranks of best-sellerdom, Darcie Chan the latest success story in the DIY digital publishing mode. It gives writers heart, not to mention hope. Yes we can. And, yet, the decision to self-publish is an individual one that raises questions with no easy answers.

Hi Deborah!
It's so nice to meet you! I see from your picture that we have more than shoes in common - the dog! I have 4 and adore them! By the way, my book is about a girl who grows up in a beauty shop, so we also have "hair" in common. I am putting your book on my kindle; can't wait to read it!
Cheers!
Rebecca
