That's great news! It was the platform I was going to try next.

What about your book? What's a song or some artists that resonate?

Oh, so many! But one I heard recently hits a lot of the major themes--disillusion, questioning the established order of things, finding your own way and learning to trust it.

Let me know what you think!

I love her! Such great music.

OMG, yes! I was literally thinking about this today. Music and writing are so intertwined for me. Both powerful ways of telling stories. In fact, I made a playlist for each chapter of my upcoming novel, THE PATTERN SHOP. 🦋😊

I'm just doing one book for now, but different versions ie: ebook, hardback, paper and signed copies.

Hi! In your experience, is one better than the other for debut authors? Not trying to sell a ton of products but it looks like Shopify might be better if I'm doing in person events like book fairs, etc.
