Mastering the art of writing your first book from my upcoming 2026 release.

12/30/2025 –  Writing your first book can feel overwhelming. Where do you begin? How do you know if your idea is good enough? And what if you don’t feel ready yet?

These are the same questions many people ask before picking an apple from a tree.

I use apples and the apple-growing process as a simple, relatable way to help new writers understand the journey of writing their first book.

Writing your first book can also feel like standing at the base of a mountain, looking up at a peak shrouded in clouds. The journey seems long, the path unclear, and the destination distant. Yet, every talented author started where you are now: with a blank page and a story waiting to be told. My new book, ‘How to get started writing your first book’, coming out in January 2026, is designed to guide you through this exciting process. 

This beginner-friendly guide is designed to encourage, simplify, and inspire you to finally put your story on the page. Your story is already growing. Let’s help you harvest it.
