Briefly

After I lost my job, I turned my self-publishing side hustle into a full-time career. Now I'm a bestselling romance author.
"I decided I was just going to write one and see what happened. I wrote my first book and thought it was the greatest literary masterpiece that's ever been written. No agent agreed with me."
"Then my mom suggested self-publishing, and I thought it was a great way to see if I could make something of myself. I self-published a romance e-book on Amazon in 2013 to see if it was worth my time."
"When my wife and I bought a house, I was able to put down $7,000 of my own money from book sales. I had never been so proud."
"I came back in January 2016, and they fired me. My wife had just gotten a new job, and someone had to stay home with the baby, so I said, 'Well, I guess I'll give writing some time to see if I can make it what it needs to be.'"

After facing rejections from agents, she self-published her first romance e-book in 2013, earning $128 from three sales. By 2015, she began making significant income from her books, contributing to her family's finances. Following her job loss in 2016, she embraced full-time writing while preparing for the adoption of her son, ultimately establishing a successful writing career.
