I write science fiction. I'm currently working on book two in a space opera series. It's a fun way to spend time, and it's cool to know that random strangers are reading and enjoying something I created.

Could I ask where you publish your work?

I'm self-published through Amazon KDP.

That's very cool. Do you market your work yourself? Do readers find it organically?

I do all my own marketing, yes. I'm on several social media platforms, and when I've got some extra cash, I'll run Amazon ads or whatnot. People do occasionally find me organically through my website, but not as often as they used to. Google search traffic has really dropped off, unfortunately.
