Once upon a time, I was a social media fanatic. I loved everything about it. Interacting with readers and writers. Sharing good news and celebrating others. And the list goes on. But I don't need to tell any of you that a lot of that has changed now. A good portion of social media has become a place where people go to argue or to scream into the void in the hopes their voices will be heard. There's less social about it, and that's not good for anyone's mental health. So, I'm taking a step back from some social media. I'll be taking my Facebook author page down and will only update my Instagram whenever the mood hits me. It won't be something I schedule any longer. I'll be tweeting the same way. And Pinterest is going back to what I used to use it for...for fun.  This doesn't mean I'm disappearing off of the internet. Instead, I'll be amping up my presence on Bookbub and Goodreads. I'll focus on growing my newsletter to bring you even better giveaways and fun things. I'll still be here on my blog, which I'll probably start updating more often, and my website will always be here. And I'll be spending some more time at local bookstores and venues. I want to focus more on what it means, for me, to be a writer...that's engaging with readers. I'm not doing that as often on social media. Hopefully, this way, I'll get to know more of you, and we can build a community in another way!

This is what I've been working on for the last several months—a free resource book for low-income families that are struggling to make ends meet. Whether it's money for rent or to put gas in the car, many people need assistance these days, and that's what this booik, The Struggle is Real, is all about. In it, I share resources for not only paying the rent but keeping the lights on, getting or keeping a cell phone and internet access, and so much more. And the ebook will be free at all retailers.
This book is the first in a series to give back. The Struggle is Real—Surviving While You’re in a Financial Hole and Starting the Climb Out of It will be followed by The Struggle is Real—Making the Best of a Bad Financial Situation as well as The Struggle is Real—Changing and Growing for Better Income and Career Opportunities. I struggled financially for a good portion of my life, but it was during a time when there was no internet. So I didn't have easy access to these resources. Some of them didn't even exist at the time. Now, I want to make sure that everyone who is facing a financial crisis has a way to get food, a place to live, a way to get to work, child care, and even free medical care. I'm not saying that the resources in this book will solve every problem, but I'm certainly hoping they can provide some help. Looik for more information, including the cover, coming soon! |
