Hello everyone.

I have been avoiding sending posts on my author page that are also posted on my Substack.

There is a link to my Substack on my author landing page if you are interested.

I don’t want to inundate my loyal readers with redundant emails. But there are people here who are not on my Substack feed, and there are followers on Substack who are not subscribed to my author page.

So…I hope you don’t mind a few redundancies. I am fast approaching the launch of my publishing career and need to ensure I reach as many fans as possible.

You may have noticed three buttons on my posts — a heart, a Subscribe button, and a Share button. Small things, easy to overlook. But for a writer launching a publishing career, they mean the world. Here’s why:

❤️ The Like When you click that heart, you’re telling me keep doing that. It guides my writing and feeds the algorithm — meaning more readers are likely to discover my work. It takes one second and matters more than you know.

📬 Subscribe If something I write genuinely moves you, subscribing means you’ll get an email when I post something new. No fees. No paywall. No ads. No sharing of your information. Just my writing, delivered to you.

🔁 Share This one. Oh, this one. Share

Take a look at the image below.

That spike? That’s what happened when one well-connected reader shared a single post. Weeks of steady, quiet readership — and then a vertical line that dwarfs everything around it. No campaign. No advertising. Just one person who connected with something I wrote and passed it on.

It genuinely took my breath away.

That is the power of a share.

I’m launching my publishing career with a dream of releasing my 13 completed manuscripts over the next five years. To make that dream real, I need to reach a larger audience — and in today’s world, you are how that happens. Like, Subscribe, and Share are the tools that can turn a quiet author’s page into something that reaches the people who need these stories.

What’s coming next:

In July, I’ll be attending the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Program (July 6–27) — and that experience will become the final chapter of my medical memoir, Keeping It Together While Falling Apart.

On July 6th, the day I begin that last chapter, I’ll be launching a GoFundMe campaign. More details coming soon.

And on the fiction side — Dying to Play the Game: Life as a Dead Player Character is currently in editing and will be self-published under my imprint, Infinite Genius Publishing. I’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading. And if something resonates — you know what to do. 🔁
