A rollercoaster of a week!

The book, The Earl's Daughter, launched smoothly, early sales came in. Amazon US pre‑orders were delayed, leading to a long support chat and a fair amount of stress, but they eventually appeared, bringing the total sales so far to 27, but I'm still counting and bearing in mind that this book represents a change of course in my writing, so it is almost like beginning my career again.

The real challenge was Meta Ads Manager. Two days of trying to refine my sales campaign left me drained and frustrated, so I’ve paused all ad work for now. Today is about returning to the creative side: editing, writing, and reconnecting with readers.

Publication week isn’t glamorous, but it’s real and every small win matters, but most important of all is keeping your sanity.
