My Substack In 2024.

Changes ahead...

Jan 14, 2024

I’m stepping back a bit from writing The Reluctant Tarot Reader.

After a year of the Substack experience — which I’ve enjoyed — I’m going to post less on The Reluctant Tarot Reader in 2024.

How I write a book in 6 steps.

Many of you want to write a book and get frustrated that it isn't finished or perhaps hasn't even begun. Don’t give up — but you still need to write. No writer or how-to book can tell you how. What I can do is share my experience of writing 16 books over the last 12 years — memoir, poetry, short story, self-help — and my steps to get there. Every writer …
