Book Birthday!

Today's the big day!

Luminata is finally out in the world. I am so incredibly appreciative of everyone's support as I wrote down the story that rattled around my brain for over a decade, and learned how to self publish a book.

But honestly, this has not been a lonely endeavor at all. So many of you helped me along the way and I am humbled by the support of this wonderful community I have found myself in. Thank you. I don't know if I can say it enough. 

Self Publishing is a misnomer. I am an Indie Publisher. I had a team helping me along the way and you are the reason Luminata is not a horrible disaster. I credit each of you for the innumerable ways you've supported me, given me words of wisdom, pointed me in better directions, and been my sounding board.  Thank you, each and every one of you. I am incredibly blessed and fortunate.

To my Kickstarter patrons, this book wouldn't be here today without you. 

To Team Luminata: you guys are awesome. Thank you for your feedback and support. 

To the incredible professionals that worked on this book with me:

• Susan from West of Mars for your amazing skills at editing, You made this book way better than when I first sent it to you and I know I can still learn tons from you.
• Agata from Studio Bukovero for producing an amazing piece of art for Luminata's cover.
• Alex from Alex Tebow Designs for creating an amazing map to orient my characters in their world.
• Claudette from The Editing Sweetheart for last minute copy editing. 

To the countless professional writers I've come into contact this last year and a half. It's been a wild ride down the rabbit hole, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I've learned so much, and I know there's so much more that I still need to learn. A rising tide lifts all ships.

Now, enough of the thank you speech. Let's party!
