Growth, Grizzlies, and Goldilocks...
From Peter Pan to porridge bowls...my bedtime rhyme journey is picking up pace, and Goldilocks is almost here!
SELF-PUBLISHING
10/24/20251 min read


When I first called self-publishing my “expensive hobby,” I thought I was being funny. But it’s starting to feel more like an obsession, the good kind, the kind that keeps you up at night tweaking rhymes and refreshing your Amazon page like a proud parent.
Sales have been growing steadily, one dreamy bedtime at a time, and I can’t help but smile every time I see that someone new has bought Peter Pan. Knowing that families are reading it to their little children around the world still feels surreal.
And now, my next book, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, officially launches on November 4! It’s already up for pre-order on Amazon, which makes this feel even more real.

What started as one book and a bit of curiosity has turned into a full-blown passion. I’m learning, growing, and dreaming bigger with each story I write.
If this is what obsession looks like then I’m completely fine with it.
So here’s to Goldilocks, to bedtime magic, and to everyone who’s been cheering on this little author’s journey.
November 4, here we come!
