18 Months of Being a Full-Time Author | Self-Publishing

I cannot believe it's already been 18 months since I quit my job to write. The last six months of my life have been incredibly hard, but I knew I needed to update you guys with what's been going on. I love making these videos for you and I enjoy documenting all the things that have been happening in my author-life.

Pen names: Lyra Parish & Kennedy Fox (we're an author duo!)

I've been in the indie scene since 2011. I published my first romance novel in 2014 (Weak for Him). Under Kennedy Fox, we've made USA Today 4 times since 2017. With Lyra Parish, I've made top 100 several times on Amazon. I unpublished my Lyra Parish backlist in 2020 with zero regrets. You can watch that video here: https://bit.ly/3k8P6pa

//Searching for a Motivational Writing Group? //
I have a writing group on facebook where you can earn stickers each month if you write 10K in a day or 50K in a month. You can choose your own day. It's a supportive community that's also fun. If you're international, feel free to join! I've sent stickers to people all around the world since July 2019!
