Fam, so busy grinding, I been slipping on updating you about what’s going on with me. Please charge it to my head and not my heart. 
Click on the link to the sneak peek to the next book in the trilogy, “The Mailman’s Daughter.” And stay tuned for some more exciting news soon. Thank you and I appreciate you!

Fam, what an interesting exercise this has been for me.
In sharing all of the steps I took and am still taking to independently publish my novels and others books soon to see the light of day, I'm remembering just how much work it is to self publish a book!
You see, just like being born is so traumatic that our subconscious wipes our memory clean of it, the same is true for self publishing.
Fam, as promised, I'm back.
And I come bearing gifts.
Waaay back in 2009, when I was first dipping my toe into the independent author arena, I was just like you - Overwhelmed by the sheer amount of in...no, let's face it...misinformation floating around on the Internet on self publishing.
It got so bad that more than a few times, I wanted to give up completely.
Fam, before I get into it, let me first admit -- I laughed a little when I wrote the title for this blog post.
Yes, I do believe that independent publishing is the most empowering, long-term economical viable option for authors.
But what I didn't know was that "according to a recent survey (as reported by The New York Times, ) 81 percent of people feel that they have a book in them…and should write it.”
Happy Wednesday, Fam!

dear fam,
it has been a long road and am soooo grateful for you taking this journey with me. this book has changed me life in more ways than i could ever share, but the time has come for me to focus my full energies on the next story in the series, “the mailman’s daughter.” before i do, though, i wanted to make one last push for “a:hc.”
so if you have any folks in your life on your christmas, hanukkah, kwanzaa list who love to read, maybe you could purchase “address: house of corrections” for them as a gift? it’s available on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and kindle and i’ll be rolling out trailers today, wednesday and thursday to promote it. here’s the first one …
thank you one more again for your everlasting support. i appreciate you and hope you enjoy the trailers!
all best,
monice.
p.s. took a minute, but i’ve finally found my way into “the mailman’s daughter” and i hope to finish it in 2012 and publish in the spring of 2013. i’m sooo excited!
