Author Ivy SInclair published her 47th novel, A Snowflake's Pormise, Tuesday December 19, 2023! This is her first Christmas novel which is set in a snowy, small town-cue all the Hallmark Christmas movie feels. I am already 21% through the book and it is a perfect read for winter break! In my 4th podcast, Ivy talks about her books, her speedy writing process (she has a full time day job, so she has to be speedy to write all these books in her "spare time."), and her experiences and advice as an indie author. I feel very fortunate to have spent a solid 30 minutes talking with her about her books, her speedy writing process (she has a full time day job, so she has to be speedy to write all her books!) and her self-pubishing experience.
