My startup Write or Read, which will help self-publishers become more successful by giving them insights into who reads their books and why they like them, is featured on FounderDating! Click here to read it. Also we’re launching the alpha soon, so stay tuned for updates!

Some of you probably already know, but I’m working on my first novella! It’s a thriller about the Maya Calendar, and I’d appreciate anyone who can check it out (also, following my link will lead you to an AMAZING video with dinosaur puppets. Ok, maybe not amazing, but definitely entertaining!) Click here to see it.

In case you’d like to know more about my book, here’s the description:

The world will not end in 2012, Amara just knows it. And she is set on debunking the Maya Calendar myths and restoring the peace. But when a secret group starts hunting her, she is forced to uncover her family’s past and find the truth to a thousand-year-old mystery.
