Behind the Scenes

Feb 26, 2026 | Blog

My first book was published in 2014, although I did have some stories included in anthologies before that. Since then, a number of books have been published including ebooks and writing resources.

It’s been many years since these were published, and there are newer books where I haven’t shared the story behind the book, so I’m starting a new blogging series giving a behind the scenes look at the various books I’ve written and published over the years.

I aim to share why I wrote that book, a bit about my process at the time as each book was slightly different, and anything else I can think of about what happened behind the scenes of the various books. I hope it will show my growth over time too, as I have learned a lot along the way, both in writing and publishing.

So join me on this journey and, of course, I will include the links at the bottom of the post where you can purchase copies, if they are still available.
