I am excited to share the news that my debut novel, Mac, is now available in ebook format with the paperback version going live any time now. It is an action-packed story of family, suspense, romance and the battle to tip the scales towards justice.

As a self-published author, I can say this because I’m not querying. The traditional route - having to query to get an agent, seems backwards to me. They should be querying you. There should be a system in place where they can see your work and bid on you. Just my humble opinion.
