Do you want to know the hardest part for me in this whole author journey?
You guessed it!
Marketing!
Commercials, ads, flyers, and so on are easy to create... Well, for me, anyway!
The thing that is hard is GETTING PEOPLE TO SEE IT!
I want to say it's easy work, but it is just like a full time job. I've taken hours and hours creating killer (and cringy) ads to make sure my whole thing is out there for two people to see it.
I truly appreciate the two that actually take their time to read my newsletters, watch my ads, and like, share, and follow all the socials, don't get me wrong. I love you guys!
It's just difficult.
My website? You should check it out! I've got an Authorial Services section, Book section, and I also have a Blog section!
Message me at hello@dinagalarzamapes.com to let me know when you take a look!

Hoot N Hollar is a popular family-owned restaurant in Rogersville, TN. I heard of them on a Facebook group, and it is not because they were advertising, either. No, I found their lovely country cafe and burger spot because of their BEAUTIFUL souls. Long story short, some strong person posted on this Facebook group looking to feed their family, and their comment was the very first one (that I saw, at least). They have a 4.7/5 star rating on their social pages. Thank you for supporting our community! Their establishment gets a 10 out of 5 stars from this up and coming indie author!
