Welcome to J.C. Plaza Marketing Books

About the author

After hanging up her clarinet, J.C. Plaza kept her black velvet dresses and turned them into the inspiration for her rekindled passion, fantasy storytelling. She earned her MBA and embarked on her doctoral journey in learning management–a field focused on teaching professional skills to adult learners. Working with high-profile clients, she realized publishing was just the beginning. She spent countless hours prior to her novel’s release researching marketing and personal branding. Combining her marketing knowledge, performance skills, and writing prowess, she released her first novel, The Legend of Lake Sangre: Summer’s Reign and her own marketing campaign, adding social media content creation to her private client services through her LLC.

In writing this book, she wanted to share her process and experiences with other authors.

As a homeschooling mom, J.C. Plaza wrote books to aid her, now adult, children in reading. Less than a year after her novel’s launch, Smart Little Mouse was released as an early reader followed by, You’re an Author! The Art of Crafting You and finalized the edits to the second book in the Legend of Lake Sangre series–Summer’s Plight.

Now, she spends her time giving life to dreams because fantasies are meant to be shared.
