Defining Success: A Study of Three Authors

This month, I was interviewed for and featured in Indie Author Magazine! You can read the article, Defining Success by Jacqueline Harmon, with a 7-day free trial. Jac  interviewed me, Irish author Caimh (pronounced “Cweeve”) McDonnell, and 2019's Kindle Storyteller of the Year Ian W. Sainsbury about what it means to be truly successful. We've had wildly different journeys, and a variety of goals to consider ourselves "successful," but we do all have one thing in common: it's not what we expected. And that's ok.

For me, I graduated with my degree in English literature and envisioned being a celebrated, award-winning literary author. Ian wanted to have the financial flexibility to indulge his imagination. Caimh wrote for TV, but hoped to get a publishing contract with a major publishing house.

So how has it changed?
