I am an author who enjoys mystery novels, philosophy, conspiracy theory stories, and true crime. My debut mystery novel "Solving Cadence Moore" was released on November 7th, 2017. I have learned so far in my brief membership in the worldwide club of published authors that it is wise to listen to feedback, especially from publishers or agents who have had more success than you. One has to be flexible and open to collaboration in order to move forward in the process of getting your novel published. I think it's important to embrace inspiration when it comes and don't be afraid to take risks, as long as you do so in the parameters of good writing and good reading. It can be easy to push things too far if you don't have in mind what a potential wide readership might enjoy. I'm still learning and feel lucky to have been granted the opportunity to get a novel published, in my case by Aperture Press, LLC in Reading, PA.
