Megg is a friend of mine and an indie published author. The final book in the trilogy, Severed, was just released.
In Severed, Reychel knows her gift of prophecy will lead to madness and now she is at her most vulnerable. The enemy army will attempt to sever her from everything she's ever known: her homeland, her friends, Mark, and her gift. Even at her weakest, she refuses to give up on her desire to end the war between the Malborn and the Serenians. Reychel would do anything, even come back from the dead, to conquer the enemy and reunite with Mark.
Megg has stopped by to share her journey...
======================
If you would have told me last year that not only would I yank my full manuscript of SLEEPERS from two agents’ consideration, but that all of my ebooks would have hit bestseller lists on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, I would have laughed in your face.
One year ago, I had my sights set on traditional publication and one of the two agents who were reading my manuscript were destined to propel me to superstardom. My friend, Karly Kirkpatrick, had tried to convince me of the benefits of epublishing, having successfully epublished her first novel, INTO THE SHADOWS. In my mind, epublishing sounded too much like self-publishing. I had visions in my head of poorly edited, ugly books that cost thousands to produce. Not me, no thank you. I was a traditional girl. My books were going to be on the octagonal display in the front of Barnes and Noble bookstores.

What an amazing story! I have been in awe of Shelli's bulldog work ethic and courage as I've watched her publishing journey. I am equally in awe of Megg's story. Wow.
I'd have to say Megg is pretty sweet. The Barnes & Noble shelf comment is brilliant and I never thought of it that way!
Wow - what a fabulous story - thank you so much for sharing it. It's so interesting to read about the journeys of authors and see how they have travelled their roads to success. :)
I agree.. the perspective of seeing my book on the shelf a year from now IS a game changer. Thanks for sharing your experience and decision factors!
