Thoughts on Reading
Once I learned how to read in first grade, I never stopped reading. I come by it naturally, being the granddaughter of another avid reader who read mostly Texas history books and the daughter of an avid reader who focused on history of many places. So naturally I just had to be an avid reader […]
Thoughts on My Wholesome Books
I am a self-published author. In last week’s blog, I talked about the process I go through to get my books published. I work hard and put in the necessary work to make my books the very best that I can for my readers. For me, self-publishing isn’t about doing it “the cheap way.” It’s […]
