CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY

As an independent author, I’ve learned that publishing success rarely happens all at once.

More often, it unfolds through a series of moments—some expected, many unexpected—that gradually build into something larger.

That’s why I was grateful to learn that my latest book, Take a Look… There’s Still Money All Around You!: From Hustle to Leverage in the Age of AI, had been added to Tasha K’s Wino Book Club.

Following the book’s recognition as an Amazon #1 Hot New Release, this latest milestone represents another reminder that opportunity often arrives through consistency, patience, and the support of readers and communities.

A Growing Journey

Founded by media personality Tasha K, the Wino Book Club features a diverse collection of titles and authors. Seeing my book included among those selections was both humbling and encouraging.

Soon after sharing the news on Instagram, I was honored to see the story reposted by Tasha K’s team to an audience of more than 670,000 followers. The support served as another reminder of the power of community and the importance of continuing to build, one step at a time.

I also noticed that the book was elevated within the Wino Book Club page, giving it additional visibility among readers exploring the growing collection of featured titles.

Building Momentum

What began as an idea eventually became a book.

That book became an Amazon #1 Hot New Release.

It found readers on Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and in paperback.

And now, it has found a place within Tasha K’s Wino Book Club.

Each milestone reinforces something I’ve believed for years:

Progress is rarely overnight.

Instead, it is often the result of persistence, curiosity, and the willingness to continue showing up even when the outcome is uncertain.

Looking Ahead

I remain grateful to every reader who has supported the journey so far.

Whether you discovered my work through Bong Mines Entertainment, social media, Amazon, Apple Books, or Tasha K’s Wino Book Club, thank you for being part of the story.

As I often remind myself:

One milestone at a time.
