📚 Big News! My Novella “Reunion: A Story” is Now Copyrighted! 📚
It’s finally happened! 🎉 After much dithering, procrastination, and nail-biting over plagiarism fears, I’m thrilled to announce that my 2018 novella, Reunion: A Story, is officially registered with the Copyright Office! 🚀
Why the delay, you ask? Well, let’s just say navigating the legal labyrinth while being on a fixed income is no small feat. But, the persistent worry of seeing my beloved work appear elsewhere without my name on it pushed me to take the plunge.
And guess what? I survived! 😅 The whole process was much less daunting than expected. (It was pricier than I would have liked, but…) Take a peek at the confirmations I received:

Cheers to new beginnings and many more stories to come! 🥂
A Certain Point of View, Too

Thanks.
I’m not looking forward to seeing the credit card bill, but I needed to do it.
And I’ll have to do it again for the novel…ugh. But…I need to do it.
