Pageantry and drama aside, it’s a story about home and that’s something we can all relate to. Every paragraph of An Enlightening Quiche is a novel in itself. “ An Enlightening Quiche is a delightful read for those who enjoy women’s fiction written with pun heavy pageantry. Hence, my measure of success as an Indie author derives from seizing those elusive, few-and-far-between, short-lived jolts of euphoria and capitalizing upon them as I am now in real time.ġ – My Contemporary Women’s Fiction novel received another 5-Star Review posted on Goodreads and Amazon. I’m so proud to share this excerpt:

Being one’s own best advocate involves time, energy, and if you’re relentless as I am-often shelling out money to stay in the shell game by procuring promo venues to reach the reading public at large, and entering literary contests on the off chance of gaining recognition and merit.Ģ017 Fiction Finalist & 5-Star Badge from ATAI (Authors Talk About It): I admit to struggling more days than others trying to wrap my head around a pursuit propelled more by intrinsic rather than extrinsic rewards grounded in reality. There are no safety nets or guarantees whatsoever along this precarious journey. Succeeding isn’t about attaining a delusional benchmark by climbing a ladder of success either. Oh, it’s an upward and uneven climb alright! Without the benefit of proceeding step by step along the rungs of a metaphorical ladder in the hope of becoming a popular author whose books are read by many.

For an Indie author such as myself, gaging my success as a writer is not measured in the number of books sold or royalties earned each month.
