I RE-Self Published My First Novel!

Well, funny seeing you all back here. Sorry about that. October 20th 2021, three years ago I posted that I had published my first novel thinking I was all that and then some. That was my problem, I thought I was so good because I had put in all that work in from 2013 and on. I was wrong, I was SO wrong.

I paid for a review and they ate me alive, I was so distraught at first until I realized that I deserved it. Everything they had said was correct. It needed more everything, character interaction, emotion, better fights, and that’s what I worked on.

I sat down and TORE the book apart over a year, I edited a hard copy by crossing off lines of what I had wrote. I went through two whole gel pen ink cartridge’s writing my edits in. I needed to do it and I am so happy I did.

I’m actually proud of what I changed, how much better it is, I killed my darling. I rewrote it. I had the know how. I made it better than than it was. Better, easier to read, fleshed out fights. (Six Million Dollar Man sound effects here)

I’m in my late twenties now. I can’t believe that I thought I’d be published before I hit twenty, I still haven’t hit my goals but all of the hours I’ve put in have gotten me a lot closer and now I know, I need to have more than a once over on my own writing. (I’ve been doing that a lot now.)

Now that I’ve gotten all that out of the way, here’s the new link to where you can purchase it in Kindle format and in Paperback. The Stolen Book is back once again, and MUCH better than before. With a brand new cover as well!
