Got my first bad book review :(. Good news is even the bad review was still a 3/5! I'm also not convinced writing a 'strange' book is a bad thing. #Novelist #BadReview #Strange

Wow, this book sales thing is easy. All I needed was a bunch of liquored up friends at a Halloween party. The downside is I can't remember what I wrote inside their books. #SelfPublishing
