Week 16- Marketing my book

I have nominated my book for book lists for libraries, book stores etc. all over the world for both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day through IngramSpark.

Fingers Crossed that it will be accepted!

So, It has been another wild week. I am so overwhelmed right now.

I thought I had a Summer job lined up but come to find out that the company I have worked for on and off in Park City for the last two years doesn’t want me back like at all. I am not really mad or sad about it cause I know God has good things in-store for me.

It is time to pivot. I believe it is time to pour my heart and soul into my family history business and get it flourishing this Summer.

Promote my book even harder.

And give me current Clients more attention. I will be okay.

Finish another book, not publishing it just yet but finish writing it. Not publishing because I need to save up money for editing but once I have that I can pay for that all at once and go from there.

So, It is time to stop investing in other companies and to invest in my own whole heartedly.

Also, the good news about not working for that company in Park City anymore is that I am now able to share my book with my former co-workers there. Because before that it was “a conflict of interest”.

So, I have shared it already with 5 people there. And with one of the parents on my Bus Route. Things are in motion and I just need to keep plugging along.

The Lord always provides.

The Last Three Months of My Entrepreneur Journey

 I just realized today that I have not posted a blog in quite awhile. I have been very busy.     My Local Book Festival on 4 October 2025 went pretty well. Lots of networking and I sold two books. Any exposure is great. I have been doing a lot of leg work on getting my book more exposure. I have been able to get a free book sighing set up with the Barnes and Noble in Park City on Saturday, 15th of November.  I am very excited about this. I finished my end of helping a friend who wanted me to help gather her family stories the last week of October. I also finished an on going verification project for another client - 18 months later. Now, we can focus on the research part of this project. I found out that Wasatch County may be hiring a County Historian. I went in person and sent an email of my interest. Well, I was advised to look for the job posting in January 2026. They were not ready for my intensity I think.  I am okay with that, at least they know my na...

My Life as a Family History Researcher/Historian- Week 15

This week has been wild.  1. My editor and I got the eBook version of Unraveling the Family Secret uploaded, uploaded to Amazon.com. I received an email back from Amazon.com yesterday. The email stated that they needed more information to make sure I was the only one with the rights to my book and that no other publisher had rights to it. Also, they only gave me 5 days to gather my documentation. My editor suggested that I scan in a copy of my Copyright Registration Letter and copies of my Business License since I self-published through my family history research business, Coming Full Circle as the official publisher. I got it all sent off today with an email reply. I have received a reply email back. They have received the documents and further review is needed. I will receive a reply from them in 5 business days. Hopefully, it will be published by the end of the month. 2. I finished my Spring Semester for school this week. 10 more credit hours under my belt towards my BS Degree i...
