TODAY is my 2 yr. anniversary as an Indie author. 24 months ago, rather tipsy, I sat in the Santa Barbara house one afternoon and argued with myself about hitting release on The Girl on the Half Shell. I’d been writing books since I was 13. My daughters sort of knew. Only they thought I only wrote books about pirates because I had that one book I never seemed to finish. My husband—clueless—didn’t even know about my writing, though we’d been together, like, totally forever.
I didn’t tell anyone I was going to publish a book. Not my husband, my children or a single friend. I hit release, went and tanned on my patio, and thought “Oh shit, what have I done to my life?” And now 2 years later, Chrissie and Alan (the story I dreamed up in my head at the Uffizi museum in Florence, Italy staring at Botticelli’s Venus Rising from the Sea as I waited for Tracy and Andrew to come find mom because somehow I’d gotten lost) has given birth to an entire fictional universe and family. 4 Generations and 15 books (so far released) but 50 books eventually. Yep, believe it or not, that’s how many stories the Parkers have to tell.
As an Indie author, I was given birth by Chrissie and Alan, the story they insisted I release. Well, mostly Alan, insisted I release it. Chrissie couldn’t make up her mind…
Thank you all of you who read my books, send me wonderful notes and emails, and have fallen in love and care about my Parker family. Today to celebrate I’ve put up 50 copies free first come first serve for The Girl on the Half Shell. At first I thought I should do 24 books (get it? 2 years an indie so 1 book for each month) then I went heck no, I’m 100 years old, 100 copies but Amazon wouldn’t let me give away 100 in one chunk, so 50 is the number I’m celebrating with J Thank you all for being truly wonderful to me. You will never know how much you’ve enriched my heart and returned to me faith that there are still happier moments yet to live.
As ever I wish you Peace.
