Why I Released My Book Early
Hello reader friends! Welcome to another episode of Amateur Hour with Piper Bee.

(But to be fair, I did warn you.) Now for [...]
Self Publishing Answers You Can’t Find on Google
Or self publishing answers I couldn’t find on Google, more accurately. (Update about pre-order mishaps here!) Ah, the Age of Information.

Being obedient to courage
I've talked a lot about this subject in person and online, but here I go again: Failure. Why are we so afraid of it? Recently I was reading the Bible because it's like a Christian thing I guess, and I read the words "do not be afraid" less as encouragement and more as a command. [...]
