What Next?

It’s been a while since a blog post! I originally had written one prior to the book release that kind of went over my thoughts and feelings I was having the day before. (Who knows, may still post that in the future.)

First, I have to say the overwhelming support and excitement that I’ve gotten from everyone from the launch to my first signing has been astounding. I’m so grateful to have so many great people not only supporting me as an author, but the work I’ve created. From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you!

Next, as all of you are nose deep between the pages, PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE A RATING AND REVIEW! THOSE ARE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL! Uncle Sam said it best I NEED YOU! Yes, you reading this! (Do you see how important I made that? Caps, bold AND underlined. That means maximum importance haha.) Then, I wanted to address a question I’ve been getting recently.

“What next?”

What next indeed! There’s honestly so much to focus on that it’s hard to pinpoint where I should be the most effective. At this stage, it’s marketing and outreach. Right now. It’s getting The Hacker’s Monarchy into the hands of readers any way I can, aside from physically chucking my book at people on the street haha.

I’ve also begun work on the audiobook version! It’s honestly been so fun to make. I’m loving the opportunity of narrating everyone’s voices. I get to bring the characters to life a bit in my own way, giving the book an entirely new dimension of experience. There isn’t a solid release date for the audiobook yet, but I promise it’s coming.

Cool announcement! I’m going to be part of NekoCon’s Author Alley this November (2024). This is the first time they’ve ever launched this type of vendor inclusion as part of their convention, in which I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of! I’ll give more details about this event closer to the convention date, but I’m working on getting everything I need together to make this a successful marketing event with plenty of exposure to be had!
