Tagline
I'm an indie author of 22 books since 2007, book coach, ghostwriter, I created a company to help other indie authors like myself and my late husband succeed.
Bio
I dreamed up the company in 2020 during a Tony Robbin's seminar. My husband and I debuted using a rented U-Haul the weekend before he died. It was a huge success and there was so much potential for growth, but after he died, it was harder for me to run it because I don't drive, so I had to rely on unreliable people and eventually it became grounded. I'm a dreamer, I thrive on dreams and I do what it takes to make those dreams a reality. I've been a published author since 2007 writing mostly women's fiction, then my fourth novel was a fantasy and that took off. Now I have about 22 publications under my belt and twice as many ghostwrites. I have helped countless authors get published and many more through the writing process. I have led the Akron region through NaNoWriMo for many years and now lead a writer's group.

Elevator Pitch
I run a book truck for and by Indie Authors. It's basically a food truck but with books. I intend to take it to fairs and events as well as just park it at times on the street with a vendors licence like a food truck does, and set up an app that tells readers where to find it that day. We will also do local book deliveries. We now have purchased an RV , with the help of the funding from a loan and will begin the process of turning that into the next upgraded version. We have a website but it's down for maintenance. I hope to have it back up and running within the month as well as launch the online bookstore on Shopify. We currently have 20 authors including myself and my late husband. We have about 30 titles available between the 20 authors. We just signed another author. We are constantly signing new authors, Some don't even have books out yet, but they have books coming this year.
