Author's Divergent Path: Navigating Book Launch Chaos with iPerimenopause

Hello,

I'm not certain about the exact number of loyal readers I have for this blog, but to my surprise, about six months ago, I realized it had gained significant popularity. 
Can you believe it? 
With so many blogs to manage, it's easy for me to overlook such things. In fact, I currently have a staggering total of 100 blogs. And yes, I'm completely serious. 

Now, let's talk about something you might not know. 
I, Cristina Gherghel, am actually a book writer. Between 2016 and 2018, I wrote approximately 35 books covering a wide range of divergent topics. 
And when I say "divergent," I mean it quite literally, not just in terms of diversity. Feel free to use whichever adjective you prefer because both accurately describe the subjects I delve into.

It's worth mentioning that all these books were signed with Cristina G., a shortened version of my full name. 
So, if you were to search for books by Cristina Gherghel, you would only find around 8, which might lead you to question my honesty. 
In the past, I used a pen name without realizing it was the proper term. In my foggy premenopausal mind, I simply thought of it as "a shorter version of my surname, because it's difficult to pronounce."

Today, when my latest book, "iPERIMENOPAUSE: The Latest Upgrade to the Operating System of My Life - Malfunction: Hormonal Mayhem," became available on Amazon (after being in pre-order for a week or so), I discovered that it wouldn't appear on my profile since it is signed with a different name than my original one. 
To be honest, I wasn't informed; I simply couldn't find it when I checked. 
It's quite complicated, isn't it?

If you're not an author, all of this might seem overwhelming, so I won't dwell on it for too long. What you should know is that I write about a variety of topics, ranging from recipe books to novels. This is what I meant by "divergent." 
However, my primary focus revolves around human behavior. I explore the reasons behind our actions, or conversely, why we fail to do what we should or make choices that are not in our best interest.
In conclusion, my writing journey encompasses a vast array of subjects, and I invite you to explore the multifaceted world of human behavior through my words. If you're a book lover, I encourage you to connect with my new author blogs under my full name. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the multitude of offerings I have in store for fellow book enthusiasts. Sometimes, even I can't believe the extent of it all.

As an independent author, I handle my own book promotion alongside my author rebranding efforts. The combination of these tasks, mixed with the chaos of my perimenopausal mind, can make everything seem quite insane. I apologize for the earlier reference to premenopause that might have confused you; honestly, it's been over 15 years since this tumultuous journey began.
Do you still wonder why my writing career appears so chaotic? 
Well, the answer lies in the realm of hormonal mayhem. 

Sadly, I must admit that I am a struggling writerpreneur. Necessity dictates that I promote myself as an author and market my books, all while trying to make ends meet. In essence, I find myself working tirelessly without reaping the financial rewards I so desperately need. 
Can you relate? 

On another note, the launch of "iPERIMENOPAUSE: The Latest Upgrade to the Operating System of My Life - Malfunction: Hormonal Mayhem" turned out to be a complete disaster. 
If you visit my author page on Amazon, you won't find it listed there because it is under my full name, Cristina Gherghel, while my official account is under Cristina G, which, as I said, is essentially my pen name. 
I had absolutely no clue that this situation would arise. Nevertheless, it happened, and I fully accept responsibility for it.

There is no one to blame but myself.

However, despite the challenges, my passion for writing continues to drive me forward. And as the next week approaches, I eagerly anticipate diving into my writing once again. I must. 

And because I didn't already have too many accounts and blogs (insert sarcasm), I had to open two new ones to accommodate my new author name: Cristina Gherghel, which I invite you to check out if you have the time.
By the way, I sincerely hope that you have the opportunity to read at least one of my books. 
It would mean a great deal to me as I navigate through this chaotic journey of hormones. 

Thank you. It has been a privilege to have your attention. 
I am truly grateful for each and every one of you who takes five minutes from your precious time to read what I write. May the universe always be on your side.


Sorry, I forgot to show you the cover of my hybrid book that I mentioned in this post - "iPERIMENOPAUSE: The Latest Upgrade to the Operating System of My Life - Malfunction: Hormonal Mayhem." 
Here it is, published in both electronic (eBook) and print (paperback) versions.

Do not be shy, leave a sign. I prefer nice words, but critics are welcome too. Do not spam, do not insult (me or others), avoid being vulgar. Respect is a MUST! Ps.
