– Received the call all authors dream of. The call from a publishing house wanting my novel, How I Won Lotto, Moved to L.A. & Married A Really Huge TV Star! After much consideration, I thanked them and declined their offer.
2011 – After reading a blog post about self-publishing, I now knew such a thing existed, so I took my career into my own hands and set about making it happen.

– A germ of an idea for a new book came to mind.
2015 – Dream It, Write It, Publish It! An Australian Guide To All The Hard Parts No One Tells You About Self-Publishing came out in paperback.
