CTR asked:
QUESTION: Which path did you take: Trad, Indie, or Hybrid? And what led you to that choice?

K.M. Daughters said:
For a year or so after we finished our first…then second and third manuscripts, we attended RWA National and Chapter conferences taking advantage of every opportunity to pitch agents and editors for inroads into Traditional publishing – frustrating to say the least. We didn’t consider Indie an option since we were completely unknown and clueless about building a Readership. An ad in the RWA’s monthly magazine calling for romance manuscripts placed by The Wild Rose Press grabbed our attention. We investigated, submitted per guidelines and our Hybrid publishing journey began. Initially our Inspirational Romances were also published by TWRP until Nicola Martinez created a separate company, The White Rose Press, now Pelican Book Group. We thought then, and we know now, that TWRP and Pelican Book Group were author-centric and dedicated to helping us succeed.

Award-winning author David A. Anderson took some time this week to answer a few questions about his debut novel, The Drowners.

Tell us a little about your YA Watty award. What year did you receive it and what was your Wattpad experience like?

2021. The crazy thing is I almost didn`t enter that book. I had another story, Bright Midnight, that was getting attention from Wattpad`s editorial staff.

A Must Read 📚 A Marriage for the Marquess by Ruth A. Casiehttps://bit.ly/41WBKnE

Because it’s not just a story—it’s an exhilarating journey where love, secrets, and danger collide in the glittering world of Regency London!

Imagine a brooding Marquess with a ticking clock—five weeks to find a wife or lose everything he holds dear. Enter a spirited lady teetering on the brink of ruin, burdened by her late brother’s crushing debts. Their solution? A marriage of convenience that seems perfectly practical… until fate throws a wrench in their well-laid plans.

From the moment Ewan and Juliet say “I do,” they’re thrust into a web of deceit and intrigue, uncovering the enigmatic Order of Shadows, a clandestine organization manipulating the elite from the shadows. As they delve deeper, every uncovered secret pulls them closer together—and closer to danger.

But here’s where it gets deliciously complicated—a single, unexpected kiss on their wedding day ignites a passion neither anticipated. Suddenly, their arrangement of convenience becomes anything but convenient. Hearts are on the line, trust is a risky gamble, and time is slipping away.

This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending romance, mystery, and suspense that’ll keep you turning pages late into the night. If you love stories with:

Strong, relatable characters who leap off the page and into your heart.

A richly detailed Regency setting that sweeps you back in time.

A plot full of twists and turns, where every chapter unravels new secrets.

A sizzling chemistry that challenges the boundaries between duty and desire.

Then “A Marriage for the Marquess” is the must-read you’ve been waiting for!

Dive into a world where alliances blur, secrets unravel, and love defies all odds. Ewan and Juliet’s journey is one you won’t forget—are you ready to join them?
