Many authors have unrealistic expectations about what will happen when their book is published. Also, much of the publishing process is outside of an author's control.

Asha Nyr ,Fantasy, Romance, Fiction, the first book in her series of fiction book, "The Mistake And The Lycan King." I did not intend to publish. I went on Inkitt to write for exposure therapy. As a childhood assault survivor, I ended up carrying a lot of trauma within me, and it built up over time. Since my POTS and hEDS flared a handful of years ago, and I needed a spinal patch, my depression worsened a hundredfold. I wrote for the first time a year and a half ago and found relief there. Readers came flooding in, became family and encouraged me to publish. It was shocking but deeply welcomed. That's how I got here. I'm an accidental author. Since losing my job, I'm hoping that publishing will eventually pay my rent, buy me food and pay my medical bills because I have not only fallen in love with storytelling, it's become a source of healing for me. I have eight other books coming and two works in progress now that I'm finally publishing. It's never too late to join my reader, shifter family and me on the road to recovery. All are welcome; it's a safe place. I'm an accidental author. Since losing my job, I hope publishing will eventually pay my rent, buy me food and pay my medical bills. My novels are therapy-turned-product, they are heavy, explicit, but they come from a thoughtful place that yearns for peace. The raw fantasy, the self-exploration, and the intimacy were all for exposure therapy. The beasts kept it at a safe distance. My stories were free.@ lindseyb@anthonymoracommunications.comhttps://www.instagram.com/authorashanyr/ https://www.facebook.com/AshaNyr https://twitter.com/AuthorAshaNyrhttps://www.goodreads.com/authorashanyrhttps://www.inkitt.com/AshaNyr #AshaNyrBooks#AshaNyrWriteshttps://www.instagram.com/authorashanyr/ https://www.facebook.com/AshaNyr https://twitter.com/AuthorAshaNyrhttps://www.goodreads.com/authorashanyrhttps://www.inkitt.com/AshaNyr

We're here with Erica D'Arcangelo, Author of A Story About Pizza. This historical fiction book is an adaptation of the story of her grandfather who immigrated from Italy to America, working as a coal miner. It follows his lifetime journey of family, food, and amazing pizza. Today we will discuss growing up Italian, culture, and food. Most of all we're going to talk about how pizza became the American dream for so many Italian families that run family-owned and operated pizzerias in America today. After many years away, I suddenly found myself home. My father, at the time, was recovering from heart surgery and struggling to find his place after retiring from his job as an administrator. While working, he also owned and managed our family's pizzeria. It had been open since 1960. Little did I know that my plan to get my father "busy" again would become the inspiration for the book about my family. The story of my grandfather. While working with my father to bring the pizzeria 'back to life' I looked through old photos and listened while he told me the story of our family. How my grandfather worked in the coal mines, how poor he was, and how his dream was to open a pizzeria. This was a place where our family grew. Where celebrated Christmas Eve every year. A place where local people of all ages would come in to eat and be part of the family.@https://astoryaboutpizza.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@AStoryAboutPizza https://www.facebook.com/darcspizza https://www.instagram.com/darcspizza/ https://www.tiktok.com/@darcspizza #ItalianFoodHistory#audienceengagement #PizzaChronicles #EricaDArcangeloExplores#PizzaHeritage#ItalianCultureAndCuisine
