Letters from SXL | the scoop

Hey, lover!

Check out the brief explanation below for answers to a common question. ♡

As some of you may have noticed (and reached out about), several of my books are down. So it’s time to address the matter once and for all. ;)

Here’s the quick rundown…

Any book you notice that’s no longer published will not be republished. If that ever changes, you’ll be the first to know, promise. I don’t want to dwell too long on the past, but I’ll give you enough context to understand why they’re down.

Many of you may not know this, but I’ve had three publishers in the past. Yes… three!

If you know, you know. If not, don’t worry; that detail isn’t essential to the explanation I’m getting into.

Before my last publisher, I released work that my heart and soul weren’t fully in, thanks to industry demands, bad advice, pressure… honestly, a lot was going on. I’ve since forgiven myself for the choices I made, and I truly see them as valuable lessons. Everyone’s journey to success is different, and mine has been a rollercoaster. If my seatbelt hadn’t been tight, or if I hadn’t held on to what I loved for dear life, I wouldn’t be here today.

Writing is my life, and it’s that passion that keeps me bouncing back from anything that tries to deter me.

I have to admit: once my last publisher realized the harmful motivations I’d been following before her, she encouraged me to write what made me feel good and boldly proud of myself. That was just the beginning of finding my voice and stepping fully into my purpose. Much love to B. Love.

I went back and forth before arriving at the decision that’s best for me and my brand. The books that are no longer up served their purpose. I’m grateful for the support, readers I gained, and the growth that came from writing them. But now, as I continue to flourish on my indie journey, I’ve decided to remove the work that doesn’t make me feel whole and proud.

I hope you understand, and I can’t thank you enough for supporting me.

Here’s to expanding my catalog with art that perfectly reflects my heart, passion, and everything I love. 🥂
