Plot Twists and Triumphs: 2024 Review
As promised, he is my breakdown of what I accomplished as an author in the past year. Well, not everything, of course. There is plenty of other work done with marketing, my estore, social media, producing accessibility packs for past publications, republishing some of my audiobooks and translations to a wider audience, etc. as well as interviews, appearances, and the When Words Collide Conference. I also added accounts for Patreon, Ream, and Substack (with Substack being the most active), Threads, and have continued to work on TikTok videos (unfortunately none of them have become the viral videos bringing in tens of thousands of dollars that some other authors have achieved. So follow my tiktoks. lol)
As I reflect on the past year, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the milestones I’ve reached as an author. As you can see below, it has been a busy year. Here’s a comprehensive look at everything I’ve published in 2024 and some of what is in the hopper now.
