Becoming an Author

This weekend marks one year since I published my first novel, Sink or Swim! It\’s hard to believe it\’s already been that long and thinking back, I\’ve done a lot of work since then.

As many of you have probably noticed over the last few days, I can now officially say Sink or Swim is available for purchase! I was hoping this was the blog I would have had for y\’all last week, but this is okay too. Gotta keep you on your toes, right?? You can purchase an
