I can't believe it's my eight year publiversary! I'm so happy to be able to share some takeaways from my publishing journey. I usually make a video like this each year and am excited to continue the tradition. Raising a glass and hoping I live to publish another 50-60 years! Can you imagine my backlist in 2070? LOL!

I published my first romance novel in 2014 (Weak for Him). Under Kennedy Fox, we've made USA Today 5 times since 2017. As Lyra Parish, I made the top 100 list several times on Amazon. If you're looking for those books, you will not find them. I unpublished my Lyra Parish backlist in 2020 with zero regrets.
