MY ORIGINAL FANTASY NOVEL JUST CAME OUT!
(Graphic design is my passion, amirite?)
A FANTASY NOVEL ABOUT DEATH, DECAY, AND LITTLE WITCHES!
Alma Evergreen lives a quiet life as a carnifex: a death-worshiping, magic-weaving, fancy-speaking little witch. When Prince Benjamin is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Alma is tasked with reaching the castle and solving the new mystery that’s befallen the great kingdom of Moonsong.
Joining her is Violet, one of the prince’s faithful fixers, on a quest of her own to ensure Alma reaches the castle swiftly and safely—but can she be trusted?
And for that matter, can Alma?
THE SMALLEST SAPLING is a feel-good "witchy" fantasy story that is full of humor and heart, and it stands as a testament to the adage that sometimes, the journey can be just as fulfilling as the destination.
I'm so excited to share this with everyone, and I hope you all have as much fun reading this as I did writing it!
I can't wait to create more stories for all of you 💚
You can find the story in multiple formats here!

Monica's Weird, My First Novella!
Do you like Dark Science Fantasy, unconventional protagonists, and the storytelling of games like Half-Life?
Well, I just published my first novella! If you can spare a few dollars, I'd be happy to read your thoughts!
It's about a dystopia, a fairy, and Monica, the emotionless girl tying them all together.

Hello Again + About My Book...
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, my friends. It's been a while, huh? What a year it's been!
What's that? It's only February, you say?
Well, it sure is! And what a year it's been! Longest January of my life, I tell you.
Anyway, I'm popping in today because I want to talk about my book, The Smallest Sapling. Been a long time coming, eh?
There's a lot that I want to talk about, so if you're interested at all, details to follow below.
So, first and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has ever shown any interest in my writing career. My first book was exactly that—my first. There's more to come, but that's for later. For now, I have some information to share about my debut Fantasy novel.
Even before it was finished, a few people approached me with questions. They wanted to know the process. They wanted to know how exactly one writes a book in [Current Year].
Well, friends, I'm here to give you some news:
Writing the book is the easy part. Everything else? Ha, well... not as simple, I'm afraid. I'm thankful for the challenges I faced, however, and the lessons I learned from them.
Let's start with some stats:
As of today, February 1, 2024, I have sold twenty books, whether they were digital e-books or physical copies (paperback or hardcover).
And in totality, this is how much money I've made from my book in that time.
This might be well and good, until you consider...
...I've spent almost as much money on advertising the book itself!
I'm unsure if this is normal for new authors, especially those who self-publish. I'm unsure because, naturally, I've never done this before now. I wanted to take some advice from others before jumping into the deep end, so to speak. Sink or swim; learn as you go! That was my thought process.
I will say, however, that I am very proud of my work and what I've accomplished so far! As I said, I've learned quite a lot. I want to share what I've learned with all of you, especially those who have approached me and spoken to me about wanting to write a book themselves. I'm the first of my friends and acquaintances to do something like this, and I'd like to be a lighthouse for anyone lost at sea.
In a separate post coming soon(?) I want to talk about the writing process itself. That is to say, how to write a book, how to self-publish your book, and I'd like to share advice with my friends, contemporaries, and anyone else who is interested!
And, in the end...
Writing this book was, honestly, not very profitable at all. However, I'm not discouraged in the slightest. This is what I expected, after all.
Something important I learned: I am a little shy when it comes to just talking about my book to other people, even off the web. I know I didn't advertise as much as I could have. That 20 could have been a 30 if I was a little more assertive and little less shy.
This is also why most people try to go the traditional route when it comes to publishing their novels. They get big companies to do the heavy lifting for them, which is commendable, but just as perilous!
(More on that later!)
But whether I made ten dollars, or one dollar, or even no dollars, I don't regret it one bit. The journey is far from over, and I love, with all my heart and soul, every single step I've taken so far. It's a winding path, and my head is held high, and I'm chasing the sun.
I wonder what's at the end?
Let's find out together.
Until next time ❤️
