@sarahshackletonauthor: My publishing journey is the definition of “winging it” But hey, response from my readers has been great!! So I’ll take it! The Horn of Avalon is available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! #fantasybooks #BookTok #indieauthor #romantasy #fantasywriter
Frequent user of the 'you sunk my battleship method' sometimes it's a hit, sometimes it's a miss. 🤷♀️😂

I feel like this will make for a cute story told at some award show one day. I’ll be telling everyone I knew her back in the day when she didn’t even know beta readers.
