Well I did it. I self-published. My ebook, an Intimate Crisis, is on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, and other retailers. I didn't spend anything. All it took was good, old fashioned hard work. Here's how I did it.

Self-Publishing in India (2026 Edition)

This is all poetry, thoughts, ideas, or statements written by me. This is just made for emotional reasons. This is my journey and my healing. Respect it, and try to enjoy it. I talk about many topics in this. But I just hope you like it. 🌸

Here is the life my hands have built. Here is the measure of pain and guilt That constructed a life for me and mine Through fingers, palm, and wrist.

First came selecting a publisher. Then came editing, website design, and trying my hand at successful marketing. An account of my tribulations while self-publishing my first two books and selling them online.

This is only the first few chapters to give you a teaser. The full version is available on ebook and paperback on Amazon. Fifty years ago, the Blight spread over Estiv, leaving death and destruction in its path. After her mother's death, Thea took her place as healer of her village. But her secret gift is not the ability to heal with a touch... When the Royal Guard shows up at her door, requesting the healer's services for a secret royal mission, she is forced to leave everything behind. Determined to survive the journey to the capital despite not having her mother's talents, she will have to question Rogan, a mysterious fae accompanying the convoy... What does the Queen need her for? How long will she be gone? And more importantly, why does Thea feel so drawn to Rogan, a complete stranger? Shadow and Bone meets Throne of Glass, this new adult fantasy series with faes, mystery and diversity is perfect for fans of A.K. Mulford and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
