A Weird Soul
It’s nothing fancy. It’s barely a book as I would consider it. It’s a 7-day devotional, but it’s published. I needed to cross that threshold of waiting to publish something when it’s done and perfect and just doing it. It probably has mistakes. And my sister will definitely let me know if it does, but …
Let me say upfront, I’m not exactly an expert as far as Author platforms go. I’ve only had a few short stories published and am currently working on my first novel.
