Before you started writing your book, what kind of research did you do to prepare yourself?
I usually do my research as I’m writing.
Did you pursue publishers or did you opt to self-pub?
I was lucky enough to get a contract with The Wild Rose Press.
If published by a publisher, what was your deciding factor in going with them?
I’ve worked with The Wild Rose Press on multiple books, and I’ve always had a great experience with them.
If published by a publisher, are you happy with the price they chose?
Absolutely, I trust their judgment.
How did you choose your cover?
I usually have a cover idea right from the beginning, but, for this book, it wasn’t until after I came up with the title that inspiration struck. I told my publisher my vision, and they hooked me up with an awesome cover artist, Kim Mendoza, who brought my ideas to life.
Did you write your book, then revise or revise as you went?
I usually write then revise. If I try to revise as I write it takes me hours to write a simple paragraph—I totally overthink it.
What’s your opinion on giving your book away to sell other copies of your book?
I think it’s a smart idea.
What are three of the most important things you believe an author should do before their book is released?
Promote, Promote, Promote!
What are three of the most important things you believe an author should do after their book is released?
Market, Market, Market!
What kind of pre-promotion did you do before the book came out?
I put the other books in the series on sale (the eBooks) and did an ad campaign for the sale. I utilized my Facebook and Instagram to get the word out about pre-ordering, set up the new book on Goodreads, and did a cover reveal ad on social media.
Do you have a long-term plan with your book?
Hahaha—I try not to make any long-term plans about anything.
What would you like to say to your readers and fans about your book?
This is probably my favorite book in the series thus far, and I hope readers enjoy it as much as I do.
