Why I Buy the Book and the Audiobook: How I Read with ADHD
Reading has never been easy for me. As someone with ADHD, my attention can drift fast, and focusing on pages of text—no matter how gripping—can feel like trying to hold water in my hands. I also read slowly. That’s not a flaw—it’s just how my brain processes words. But I still love stories. I still want to learn, to escape, to grow. So I found a way that works for me, even if it seems a little unconventional: I buy the audiobook and the digital or physical copy.

It’s been a long, uphill battle these past few weeks. What should have been a routine appendicitis issue turned into something much worse—a punctured appendix, a severe infection, and sepsis that spread to my colon. The doctors were worried about complications like a colostomy bag, and for a while, even keeping liquids down was a challenge. The pain was excruciating, and recovery has been slow.
But despite everything, I kept moving forward. Because as a small press author, the work doesn’t stop—even when you’re sick.

Six months ago, I officially became a published author—a milestone I had dreamed of for years. Since August, my journey with The Serpent Series has been an incredible whirlwind, from the excitement of launching The Serpent’s Bridge to the thrill of releasing The Serpent Woman.
