An Excerpt From My Debut Book

Well ladies and gents, I did it. After spending the majority of 2020 brainstorming different writing ideas, exploring multiple avenues in regards to creative writing projects, I finally have my first finished book! 

Not only is the work finished, it is edited (if not quadruple edited), formatted, cover designed, and as of a few weeks ago, officially published on Amazon! Now, self-publishing was an area I thought I would never have much interest in, but with the current economic climate the way it is and the traditional publishing industry taking a hit, I realized self-publishing was the best way to go. 

And I am so glad, and grateful, that I took that big leap. 

My debut published piece is novella sized, but nonfiction. It is called WHAT'S IN A SIGN? The Short and Sweet Beginner's Guide to Understanding Your Zodiac Sign. 

Now I know what you're all thinking: astrology, huh? 

The thing with astrology is, you either get it or you don't. There's no gray area or middle ground. And that's completely understandable. Which is why I specifically wrote this book with both sides in mind. This book is exactly what is sounds: a short and sweet beginner's guide to astrology. 

Whether the subject of astrology intrigues you but you don't know where to start, or you don't consider yourself interested but know someone who is, this is the perfect dose of light reading for you, or for you to suggest to someone who is interested in astrology to read. 

To further explain my motives when writing this book, I've included a brief snippet of the preface of WHAT'S IN A SIGN?

So read on, and if you find yourself further curious in what the stars have to say about you, click here to purchase your copy directly from Amazon! (digital or paperback). 

WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK?

    First things first, I am a realist. I follow my gut, but I make sure to take my head with me. I love the idea of happy endings, but I have the common sense to know that real life is nothing at all like a Hallmark movie. I have dreams and wishes that I intend to make come true, but I understand that first I must do what I have to do, in order to one day do what it is I want to do. 
    In short, I prefer not to keep my head stuck in the clouds for too long. 
    So then why did I write a short and sweet book about astrology, a compelling and curious theory that very much involves the sky, the clouds, and the stars above? 
Well, short answer: the sky is where I found myself. 
Chances are, if you stumbled upon this book and are now taking the much appreciated time to read it, I would be willing to bet there’s a part of you that’s searching for the same thing: yourself. 
I mean, think about it: we’ve all taken the Myers-Briggs personality assessment, we’ve all categorized ourselves as either Type A or Type B, we’ve done the Enneagram tests, Buzzfeed personality quizzes, etc. And why? Because we as humans, all have a natural curiosity to learn more about ourselves. 
And that’s wonderful! What else could be better to invest your time in than into learning about Y-O-U? 
    Self-discovery is a necessary and a vital part of every human’s life...
