March 14 — Sandra K-Horn
A Path to Becoming an Indie Author and My Muses
My self-publishing journey was a learning experience. Self-publishing has improved in the last twenty years, but it is not a new activity. Walt Whitman, Margret Atwood, Beatrix Potter, and Mark Twain are just a few self-published authors. But a decision to do so takes some research. All three of my recent works are self-published.
More young people know more about drugs than most adults. One in five teens have abused prescription drugs, and 21% of high school seniors use marijuana. In Sept 2021, counterfeit pills with fentanyl seized by the administration had increased by 430% since 2019. According to the CDC, fentanyl deaths have tripled over the last two years. The knowledge about teens and young adults inspired Downward Spiral. Its publishing has created conversation among adults and their children.
