Now I’m going totally indie, and creating a new series. (The second Rebuilding Year book came three years after the first, turning what I thought was a stand-alone into a more satisfying series.) I tried new things, created new series, finished old ones. I branched out to two other publishers, both now gone, and found the joy and pressures of indie publishing. KU came along, shaking up the way readers get books, but I resisted it for reasons. Since that first book, developing a writing career has been a mostly-unplanned adventure, because I’m apparently as much of a pantser about my process as I am in the stories I write.

When I started publishing, it was almost by accident. Pantsing my way forward, with a Necromancer Please join me in giving her a big welcome! She has also brought along an exclusive excerpt.
