Browse the Store On My Site
You can find my store on my site under the tab labeled “Store”. How original, right? My store sells downloadable e-books and audiobooks, some of them not available anywhere else. I sell the books by individual chapters.
I also sell chapters of books that are already written that you can purchase for $1.99 a pop for each e-book chapter and $2.25 a pop for each audiobook. That way you can see if you like the first few chapters (or even the ending) and decide if you want to buy the whole book.
What Can You Buy On My Site?
The store on my site also sells chapters of books I’ve written, including one I’m working on now, “Chronically Alive: A Story of Sick”. It’s a fictionalized memoir. focused more on all the medical issues I’ve gone through and my relationship with Jeff, it is based on my blog but goes way more in-depth. I will be posting more chapters as people begin buying the earlier chapters.
You can sign up for the newsletter by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the home page and filling in your email. Then you can buy a monthly subscriptionon my site for what breaks down to only $0.23 a day you will be able to view content that isn’t even published yet. They are unique reads never seen by the public eye, and you will be the first to read them before they come out in two years if I live that long.
A really cool aspect of the store on my site is that it gives you a sneak peek of Mindful Trauma the first three chapters of my novel that I am currently sending out to literary agents.
Each typed chapter is about 15 to 25 pages long and is only $1.99. That’s less than the price of a coffee from McDonalds. It’s not even something you have to save up for. It’s change lying around the house.
The Audiobooks
Maybe reading isn’t for you. Maybe you have a hard time seeing, or just trouble with reading in general. Maybe you don’t have time in your busy schedule to sit down and read. Well, how about listening to an audiobook while you drive to work, or while you work out at the gym, or while you mop the floor or wash the dishes, or maybe even while you’re going to sleep at night? Each audiobook chapter is about 20 to 25 pages long and costs $2.25 each. You can replay it as many times as you want.
Check Out My Blog
Click on the link labeled “Chronically Alive Blog” on my site, It will bring you to my free blog where you can read about my descent from a healthy child into a world of chronic illness.
Follow my desperate search for a diagnosis. My yearning for my doctors to validate to my parents that my illnesses were real not in my head. Two neurosurgeries. I arrived at one via life flight. A five-month-long hospital visit which finally procured a diagnosis that tied all my random illnesses together.
A six-month stay in a nursing home where my provider almost killed me in her attempts to heal me. A stay in an assisted living which sparked an unlikely unconditionally loving romance between myself, a 24-year-old young woman with a terminal illness and a fierce determination to never give up, and a 40-year-old man barely hanging on the transplant list in a race against time to get his new liver before his cancer returns a second time a permanently removes him from the transplant list.
Keep an Eye On My Events Page
My goal is to get as much of my writing out into the world as possible before my illness takes me, that way my short time on this planet will have meant something and I will have left my mark on this planet. My writing will be my legacy.
One way I get my writing out into the world, besides writing books and blogs is by hosting YouTube Livestream Events, where I read chapters of books I’ve written livestreamed on YouTube for people to comment on and interact with me while I am reading them and an official Q&A at the end.
My events page, listed on the home page on my site under the tab labeled “events” keeps track of upcoming Livestream events with summaries about what the chapter will be about, pictures, and links to the sign-up page for the events. All my events are 100% free.
