I was originally going to publish Small Town Stilettos: a modern marriage of convenience a couple years ago… so, why has it taken so long to actually publish it?? In this episode, I’m sharing a few of the obstacles that have gotten in my way — plus the story behind the delays I experienced with the cover design, and how that has contributed to my procrastination. 

We discuss… 

• Why the book cover design was such a big roadblock (backstory to the cover design saga of Small Town Stilettos)
• The customer service “red flags” that led to me choosing a different cover designer
• The importance of being an active participant in the decision-making process as a self-published author
• How I was using the book cover design delays as an excuse to procrastinate on doing book edits
