being an author is stressful

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my life as a full-time author leading up to a very tight deadline. If you like this kind of thing, please let me know down below!

Okay, I miscounted my books. It’s my 48th book (Kennedy Fox's 40th) releases and will be published on all platforms tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it goes and I hope our readers love it.

This is the book: https://bit.ly/cbrstckf
Eeeeeep! I'm so excited!

//A B O U T M E//

Pen names: Lyra Parish & Kennedy Fox (we're an author duo!)

I've been in the indie scene since 2011. I published my first romance novel in 2014 (Weak for Him). Under Kennedy Fox, we've made USA Today 5 times since 2017. As Lyra Parish, I made the top 100 list several times on Amazon.

If you're looking for those books, you will not find them. I unpublished my Lyra Parish backlist in 2020 with zero regrets. You can watch that video here: https://bit.ly/3k8P6pa
