I self-pubbed a 15,000 word science fiction novelette recently. You'll find The Grace Seeker listed on Goodreads if you're into speculative fiction.

I gained a deep understanding of what editors and writers have to go through to whip a book into final shape before publishing. It feels like bear-wrestling. Not that I've ever wrestled one--but it sure feels like it.

Now comes the job of gently pushing notice about the book out into the world. I guess I'll have to start viewing social media with more positivity now. Sigh. Look out world, one more ad for one more book is coming your way.
