Two years ago when I hit upload on Create Space, I didn’t know what to expect. I was scared to death but I was also excited to know my dream of being a published author had finally come true. It wasn’t as I imagined – romance author, but it was about my second love – book promotion. This has been amazing two year journey. I’ve learned so much about me, my writing and promotion. I
