#ThrowbackTuesday A lot can change in 10 years, Fam.
Ten years ago, I was struggling financially, subsisting with a chronic illness and my writing career was stalled.
Then, I independently published my first novel, “Address: House of Corrections,” and everything changed.
Well, let me explain….
Financially? Some days, it’s like playing a game of three card monte, but I’m doing much better.
That chronic illness? I dropkicked it to the curb.
And my writing career? Thank you, Baby Jesus, I’m breathing deeply and exhaling these days.
But my dream that my novel would become a New York Times Best seller…Oprah would choose it for her book club…and I’d win an Oscar for best adapted screenplay?
Hasn’t come true.
Yet.
But, hey, a lot can change in ten years, right? 😉
Happy 10th Anniversary to my favorite debut novel, “Address: House of Corrections!”
And stay tuned, Fam, for a special announcement tomorrow!
