Lauren’s Indie Book Club
Calling all Indie authors! My blog will soon be host to Lauren’s Indie Book Club where I support new, aspiring, and seasoned writers just like you and me! Coming August 2021!

#PitMad
This was my first time participating in PitMad on Twitter and, dare I say, it was super fun! I had never heard of this event before until I started seeing posts on Twitter about the upcoming event. So, here’s what I learned.
