About The Author
“I started writing this series at twelve years old, with a character named Allie who just never left me. It’s been fourteen years now, and she still won’t leave."
The year is 2018, and I am in the middle of my Kickstarter campaign for Book III, A Deal For Three, as I sit down to write this new About The Author Section. WOW! It’s been a crazy three years since my first printing of Secrets of The Tally, and I am ECSTATIC to have such amazing fans who love these books as much as I do.
The dream has always been to write full time, and I finally took the plunge about six months ago when I quit my day job and jumped on a train to travel the whole United States, working solely on my books. I’ve always been a fan of adventure (and a HUGE fan of train travel), and couldn’t be happier with how the books have progressed in the past six months. I am so excited to be moving forward in the series, which will eventually be five books long, and hope you guys will check out Catching Epics and A Deal For Three. I’m sure Book IIII will be here before you know it. ��
A Couple Thank Yous
As with book one, I owe quite a bit of my success to the people who have helped me along the way!
A big thank you to Robbie & Karissa Neal, Jordan Emery, Jessica Colvin, Laura Abbot, Caleb Palmquist, and Mom for being such wonderful proofreaders. I’ve now learned that the smallest typos can alter a book’s meaning rather horrifically, so thanks for saving me from an unintentional nude scene, and an embarrassing jumble of letters where the cat stepped on the keyboard. (I’m kidding, I don’t have a cat. I don’t know what happened…)
154 Kickstarter backers brought wild success to the Catching Epics campaign, and Thomas and Cody Stoneham-Judge, once again, were instrumental in creating our opening Kickstarter video. We had just as much fun as last year, writing scripts, getting muddy, accidentally crashing a drone, and running into wildlife as we scouted for filming locations.
Ginger Anne London came back for round two, turning twenty pages of descriptions and examples into another masterpiece of cover-art, more beautiful than I imagined, and I couldn’t be happier!
And as always, thank you to you, dear readers, for helping me survive as an independently published author. If you enjoyed Catching Epics, please leave a review, tell a friend, and pass the story on to someone who hasn’t seen it.
Make sure you check out A Deal For Three, releasing early 2019!
