I’m pleased to announce that Focused on Murder—A Spirit Lake Mystery is now available on Amazon. For more info about the book, check out my Books page.
“Britt Johansson, a kickass photojournalist with a big heart and bad social skills follows a coed’s murder to the wilds of the US/Canadian border and lands in the crosshairs of an international crime ring…
Only this time she’s in way over her head.”
It Takes a Community
As in most new ventures in life, each step in the self-publishing process that seemed so daunting in the beginning has turned out to be not nearly as difficult as I imagined. That’s probably thanks to my supportive friends, who have offered advice and even sat next to me at my laptop encouraging me to push that button and go live. I am grateful for their help.
Now that my debut novel is out there, I hope you will read it and if you like it, post your review on Amazon.
In my next posts, I intend to share some of what I’ve learned about how the self-publishing process is working for me, such as:
• Tricks I’ve used to tame the fear and keep everything in perspective
• Tips on how to use the CreateSpace site
• Reminders to tackle everything at your own pace
• How to know the difference between resistance and the importance of doing what feels comfortable to you
Thank you!

First let me say, It’s nice to see you out there. I seems like it’s been a while. Second, I’ve been reading a mystery based in the Iron -Range on MN and Northern MN is a great setting for any novel and mysteries in particular. I’ll be looking for your book and looking forward to your upcoming posts.
Hi Dennis, I know it’s been a long time. The publishing part of this process has been a real learning curve. I have a Books page on my blog that has the Amazon url if you want to look at it. What’s the title of the MN book you’re reading? Great to hear from you!
Kudos, Linda! Looking forward to your blogs about the process.
Thanks, June! I haven’t been blogging because learning all about publishing has been time-consuming, but I missed connecting with everyone. It’s good to be back.
You did it! Congratulations!! I’m about to look for you on Amazon.
Thanks, Shelley! If you go to my blog site, it shows up on the books page. Something is wrong with this post page. You should be able to click a photo of the book and have it link to Amazon.
Congratulations! I just got the Kindle app for my iPad and downloaded your book! Can’t wait to read it again. It’s such a terrific story. And you’ve been an inspiration to me each step of your process.
Your book looks fascinating! I look forward to reading in the future.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks, Anna! I loved your blog piece, “Recipe of Myself.”
Thank you so much!
