Welcome to Indie Author Notes.

I’m Brian Hoadley. I write urban fantasy under the name B. Scott Hoadley, and I’m two years away from the end of a five-year plan to leave my consulting career behind and become a full-time indie author.

No guarantees. No highlight reel. Just the honest account of what it actually takes to build a writing career alongside everything else life throws at you.

If you’re writing your first book, or you’re a few books in and trying to figure out how to make it sustainable, this is for you. I’ll be sharing the thinking, the tools, the mistakes, and the wins as they happen.

Pull up a chair. Let’s see where this goes.
