Writing Moons and Shadows has been more than just writing a book. It’s been a process of remembering, returning, rebuilding—and in many ways, reimagining the world around me. So today, 9 days out from launch, I’m answering 9 questions no one’s asked me (yet)—but I wish they had.

These questions pulled things out of me I wasn’t expecting to say. But if this story is about truth, then so is this post.

With just 10 days until release, I wanted to pull back the curtain and share a few behind-the-scenes truths that helped shape Moons and Shadows - the characters, the process, and the heart behind the story.

Some of these are personal, some are quirky, and some are part of what I believe makes this indie book launch feel like more than just a release - it’s a journey. So here we go…

We’re officially in the final stretch - just 11 days until Moons and Shadows releases into the world.

The business side is set (hello, freshly activated checking account ✨), the final steps are lining up, and while the to-do list is still very real… I’m choosing faith. Faith in the process. Faith in the people behind the scenes. And most of all - faith in you, the reader.
