I’ve been running a promotion campaign on Amazon and Freebooksy this past weekend, and the results were amazing! The book reached #4 on Amazon’s Top 100 list for free Sci-Fi, #1 in free Friendship Fiction, #2 in free Family Life Fiction, and even #91 on the overall Top 100 for free books.
I’m thrilled that more than 1,400 readers have already chosen to give my book a try, and I truly hope you’ll enjoy it.
It’s official! Not That Kind of Companion is published and ready for you, in paperback and Kindle editions:) I hope you all will enjoy it.

In less than 72 hours my first book will be published on Kindle. Paperback will come shortly as well (I just need to tweak the cover a tiny bit).
I’m really happy to have come to this part, getting my book out there:)
The manuscript has been formatted, and the cover resized and made into a PDF. A bunch of questions and options are set, and now it’s just a bit of waiting and last checks before publication. First as a paperback and then soon after as a digital version.
It’s been 2517 days since I started writing on book one. And though I’ve had long breaks, including writing the first draft of another book, it’s been a fair while. But what an experience it has been.
The first day I wrote, I wrote eleven pages (4333 words). However, that text required extensive editing, and as I continued writing, I also revised my previous work. That helped me remember where I was in the story, and also get a handle on some of the worst errors right away. I have had days where I wrote as much as on the first day, but not more than one or two.
“We don’t do it because it’s easy. We do it because we thought it would be easy.”
I read this quote a few days ago and think it’s both funny and, to a large extent, valid. I didn’t know what I was getting into when I first started writing. And I’m delighted I didn’t. Because it’s unlikely that I would have prevailed as a starter at all. When the first draft was done in mid-2019, I still had to do a lot of editing to get the text presentable. But I did it, and now I know that I can (even if I easily forget it). If anyone wants to read the first book, well, that’s another story. But because I have written the book and will publish it, I will find out. Either way, I will most likely continue to write my story. Since it’s not done, it’s good fun to do, and I know I can.
