Today is a very special day—a lifelong dream became reality. My debut Christian Contemporary novel was published on Amazon. I have been writing since the age of 8, and to actually hold a book with my name in the author space is both surreal and satisfying.
Claire’s story has been four years in the making and it was worth every moment. Knowing that the book is out in the world has been nerve-wracking (complete with butterflies) and very surreal. I’m not sure if every author experiences this with their debut novels, poetry, or nonfiction books, but I most certainly am.
I know many veteran authors may laugh when they read this, but that’s okay. I have learned so much during this novel writing process and have so much more to learn as I shift to marketing this book. I am an indie publisher so the onus is on me.
For those of you who have signed up to follow me, you will receive this post in email format. If you would like to purchase a copy of my novel, it can be found on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca currently. For family and friends in the UK, you may have to wait a little longer before it is available.
The only thing I ask is that you leave a review on Amazon. If you use Goodreads feel free to leave one there and it will automatically post it to Amazon. Thank you to everyone who follows me and enjoys my writing. I pray that Claire’s story will be one that makes you think about certain things in ways that you hadn’t considered prior to reading the book. If you can identify with Claire’s journey, then I pray that God reveals His presence along your journey as well.
