Authors, let’s face it. You are writing because that is what you enjoy. You also know that there is much more to writing a book than the actual story. The publishing and marketing can be a nightmare. It can suck out all of the fun—and a good deal of your time.

We need to learn as much as we can. But there are times when authors simply have to rely on others for help.

This week was one of those times for me. I had surgery mid-week. Prior to that was the EKG and bloodwork, as well as registration at the hospital. Amid this rush of items on my “TO DO” list, my husband was ill—flat on his back ill for 9 days. Oh, did I mention we were dog sitting?

I had given myself a deadline for publishing, which came and went. So, to relieve a lot of stress, I contacted my favorite website, Fiverr.com,  for help.

Even though they don’t work for $5 like they used to when they first started out, they still offer good service, a great product, and a reasonable time-frame to complete the job.
