What advice on self-publishing would you give to aspiring Indi authors?
The road to self-publishing is paved with many challenges and rewards. You must learn to overcome the challenges and preserve. The reward is when you hold the book in your hand, breathe in its freshness, and know that you are bringing someone entertainment for a short time in this world. There is no better feeling that that. On the other hand, you are taking more risks. You have to invest your time wisely to produce a well-edited and well-constructed story. I strongly advise a critique group/writing group to receive feedback from. The best part of publishing a story, to me, is when one of your fans tell you that they loved the story that you created.
When you finish a book and it is ready for publication: How do you celebrate?
Well, I never have acquired the taste for coffee so I settle with Dove chocolates and a cold Dr. Pepper.
