Tonight something special arrived. 🙂

I've *never* held a published book of my creation before.

Is it self-published? Yep! The industry's not always ready for our labours of love, and the translation community wasn't interested.

But still a joy. And good timing too, after my first day's work on the next, Tomás Carrasquilla's most famous novel! 🇨🇴🥳

So what did I do? 🤔 Baked a celebratory loaf of course! To share with neighbours this week. 👌

@MLClark Huzzah!! Tell us how to buy a copy!

@rche_types Thanks Rita! The page is listed in my links under Translator (and below!).

Turn-of-the-20th-century Colombian realist stories with a strong Catholic edge might not be everyone's cuppa, but sharing in the joy of achievement here is still fun. 😊

Indie authors at SFWA tell me the real trick is having a back catalogue. That's when self-publication really starts to amount to sales and brand recognition. So! That's what I'm aiming for with book two.
