#IndieRoar Challenge – Day 5!

#IndieRoar Challenge – Day 5

Predict the title of your favorite Indie author’s next book! (Funny, or serious — you choose!) #IndieRoar

Okay folks — yesterday’s challenge was a hoot! On straight retweets alone, Marnie Cate’s Photoshopped tweet “won” the day with 20 retweets and 17 faves (see it above).  Then, Keeley’s got second place with 13 retweets.  CE Vance’s Photoshopped tweet came in third with 11 retweets. (By the time you read this things may change but that’s the lay of the land right this second!)

You are all clearly up to the badass Indie challenges we’re throwing your way! Congrats to you all. You made us ALL smile.

Today’s challenge is more intellectual.  We want to know just how well you know — or, think you know! — your favorite Indie author and his/her work.  Tell us what you think they will name their next work.  You can’t tell us a book name that the author has already shared via cover reveal, or an interview! :-)

Pick another series of theirs, or think about a standalone your chosen Indie Author may very well pen one day.

As always…keep it Indie trendy!

Ya-huh.  We’re back to telling you what you’re going to get if you win this thing!

Here are the prizes:

1st Prize – $25 Amazon Gift Card + Choice of 6 Indie Books from participating #IndieBooksBeSeen Authors

2nd Prize — $10 Amazon Gift Card + Choice of 4 Indie Books from participating #IndieBooksBeSeen Authors

3rd Prize – Choice of 3Indie Books from participating #IndieBooksBeSeen Authors

Winners will be announced on Friday, June 12th, 2015.

You may be wondering about the books that you will choose from once you win, right?  We’ve got that coming! We’ll post the list of books on both blogs below tomorrow, June 5th at 10:00 am EDT in time for #FridayReads.  For your convenience, we’ll pop it in your inbox, too!

#IndieRoar Challenge – Day 4!

#IndieRoar Challenge – Day 4


Show us your #IndieRoar ability! Put yourself in a picture with your favorite Indie author — alive, or dead!

You guys rocked it with sentences from Indie books you read that were zingers, tear-jerkers, and/or wholly unexpected! So many books…so little time!

But today?  We’re kicking it up a few notches. Get your PhotoShop and graphic skills on because we want to see YOU in a picture with your favorite Indie author!

(Ahem…no nudity please!)

Shock us. Make us laugh, or even guffaw.  Whatever you do — keep us coming back for more of your tweets!

Oh yeah, at the end of the 10 days, there will be 3 winners!

Today’s challenge is to dig a bit deeper and tweet the sentence you absolutely LOVE from an Indie book you’ve read. It can be a sentence you love, or hate. A sentence that moved you, or made you mad.  In essence, it has to be a sentence that polarized you one way or another!

#IndieRoar Challenge – Day 2

#IndieRoar Challenge – Day 2

 

Tweet a pic of the actor/actress you would like to portray your fave Indie book character! #IndieRoar

 

Yesterday’s challenge was pretty tame. No huge bells or whistles, right? Okay, now time to put on your Indie Movie Mogul hat!

First, figure out your favorite Indie book character (for a stand-alone, or a series).  Second, choose which real-world actress, or actor should portray your favorite character if the book was turned into a movie.   Hmmm…right?! So many choices!  So, many folks to choose from!  And, which pic of them to tweet out?  You never know, maybe you want the actor the way they looked say, 10, 20 – ahem – 30 years ago? J

Only YOU can decide!

Sparkle, tweet and ROAR!

Giveaway: Making Dollars & Sense Work

My fabulous book designer, E.M. Tippetts, is running a giveaway for my latest book Making Dollars & Sense Work: A Financial Primer for Single Moms & Dads Plus College Kids Too!

Not only was Emily incredibly sensitive to my newbie-ness in the process of taking a book from ebook form to print form, Emily was open to my suggestions!  I was floored.  There are graphics that divide chapters.  Graphics to enhance and embolden chapter headers and lovely page dividers that are easy on the eye.  I was thrilled when I received my print.  My book was professional and beautiful!  If you’re in need of a great book designer this is the one!
