I have felt the whole range of emotions today bc so much happened in all aspects and places in my life. So I sat down and started creating a story that I hope will be brimming with emotion, hope, and love.

I'm currently working on a NON-FICTION picture book. Didn't see that on my bingo card!

Hi everyone! I have a friend helping a man write down his life story for his family. They'd like it bound and more formal. What do you recommend for self publishing? What do they need for copyright? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Anyone that's ever queried...

He smiles and looks up Remembering his promise To try one more day #haikusaturday

Has anyone received calls from Olivia Mendez wanting to verify their copyright information?

Now available for preorder!!! I just ordered mine 😍

In case it's one of those days πŸ˜‰πŸ–€πŸ€

With the highs and lows the holidays can bring, I'd love to support to someone in need. If you know a school or a friend that might benefit from MISSING VIOLET, please message me. πŸ’œ
