I’m so excited to welcome back efriend Tasha with her great advice on being an indie author. Last time she talked about ebooks and revolutionised my writing career.

I is for Ill-prepared. To continue with the theme for everything writerly, I decided to share what it’s like to suddenly be published without any warning.
