When I started my self-publishing journey with my Adventures of Caitlin & Rio series, I had two very modest goals:

  1. I wanted readers who were not related to me or did not know me to read my books. 
  2. I wanted to see my books on the shelves of our local library. 

Goal #1 was achieved easily within the first 6 months… the way I figured it out was simple math. The number of units sold must exceed the number of family members and friends. I have a small family, and a great circle of friends. So thanks to family and friends for their support. For the others… I am so happy that you are reading my books. 

For Goal #2 I was visiting my happy place – our local library- and I saw THE LOST COLORS displayed on the shelves of the "new books" section.

All this goes to show that dreams can come true.

Dream on!
