In January of 2007 she contracted Outskirts Press to self-publish her fantasy fiction for mid-grade to young adult genre called, Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands. Ms. Willett had also done the illustrations at the beginning of each chapter. "I am in the process of re-writing/completing two additional books in the Amber Shadows series, and hope to work on the fourth within the next two years. I chose self-publishing after experiencing a year of incompetant literary agency representation, and after I received 20 rejections based on my own literary agent efforts. The rejections I received were mostly good . . . some stopped carrying the genre, some loved my work but did not publish my genre. The last few were form letters. As of today, I still have three publishers I have not heard back from, but my book has changed so much since I sent out the custom submission packages, that it doesn't matter. In January of 2007 I made the decision to self-publish through Outskirts Press. I had, had enough of the publishers-close-out-new-authors-game. The first book took me over 3 1/2 years to write after all the revisions and polishing I did. I had written and completed the second and third books as well, however, the first book had changed so much that I am now modifying the second book called, Amber Shadows and the Crystal Locket, and will do so with the third book called, Amber Shadows and the Dream Feather. The fourth book, Amber Shadows and the Seven Faerie Coins is half-done in first draft, but will have to wait until the other two are done. I have recently completed editing a screenplay called Tatalia. Upon finishing this project I have written the screen adaptation for Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands and have a few other script writing projects I would plan on completing."
