My Author Journey: From a Dream to Three Books and Counting

Have you ever dreamed of seeing your name on the cover of a book? That was me not so long ago—a dreamer with a story to tell. Today, I’m a published author of three books, each with its unique story, challenges, and milestones. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at my journey and the lessons I've learned along the way.

The Beginning: Writing My First Book

Every author’s journey starts with a spark of inspiration. For me, it was the desire to simplify complex topics and make them accessible, especially to young minds. This led to my first book, Artificial Intelligence for Kids.

It wasn’t just a book; it was my way of introducing children to the fascinating world of AI. From brainstorming ideas to working on illustrations and layouts, the process was thrilling yet challenging. The response? Overwhelming! With more than 100 copies sold, this paperback became a stepping stone for my writing career.

The Turning Point: Career Lessons for Adults

After the success of my first book, I wanted to address a completely different audience—professionals navigating their careers. Thus, The 10 Biggest Career Blunders: Mistakes to Avoid for Success was born.

This book was deeply personal. It stemmed from my observations and experiences in the corporate world, aimed at helping others avoid common pitfalls. Available in Kindle and paperback formats, it quickly gained traction, selling over 116 copies and receiving 83 glowing reviews with a 4.9-star rating.

Discovering Purpose: Writing About Ikigai

Writing about Ikigai was transformative, both personally and professionally. The Secret to a Long and Happy Life: Discover Your Ikigai explores the Japanese concept of finding purpose and fulfillment.

This book became a bestseller in three categories, with 45 five-star reviews and 68+ copies sold. The love and recognition it received showed me how deeply readers connected with its message.

3. Embrace Feedback: Early feedback from readers, editors, and friends is invaluable.
4. Market Your Work: A great book deserves great marketing. Social media, blogs, and YouTube have been game-changers for me.
