Hi John,

Rumble On The Bayou is a self-published suspense thriller.

I'll also keep looking.

Thank you to Matthew for being our featured author this month. I hope you all enjoyed getting to know him.

Question 6 - What's your favorite book/short story, etc. that you've written?

Answer - Tick(To be Published by Solstice Literary Magazine Spring 2022)

Question 7 - What made you decide to self-publish?

Answer - I wanted to write without restrictions. Provide a new voice to YA.

Question 8 - Where is your favorite place to write?

Answer - My bed haha.

Question 9 - What's your favorite thing about being an author?

Answer - Writing is an art. I like being an artist and evoking emotions into my readers.

Question 10 - Are you writing anything now? If so, what's it about?

Answer - I am submitting a new manuscript which is the next book in my continued series to Irish Town. I am currently working on the prequel to Irish Town. The futuristic manuscript is about my Irish Town MC's children. And the Prequel is my Irish Town MC's parents.

Question 11 - Pick anyone, living or dead, that you'd just die if they read your book...lol

Answer - F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I'm sorry for not posting the rest of the interview before the end of the month. Life got in the way.

We chose A Grim Affair as our April BOTM. Please begin reading as soon as you can, and don't forget to leave a review and post the link here.

Also, feel free to engage in open discussion about the book as you read.

We.Love.Books has it, and I'll try to work with Joanie to get that set up in the next few days. I'll post the link here once it's done, along with the final rules we decide on.

Thank you for letting us know.

Awesome. We will be doing one in the month of April, and keeping it to mostly SP/Indie authors as hosts. I'll keep you posted!

I leave this open until tomorrow evening. But it looks like We.Love.Books has it. Once Joanie and I get it created, I'll post the link here so you can all request to join.

I would like to start a thread about poetry for April. Poetry is a smaller niche market and is harder to get noticed as an indie author. I ..."

That's awesome. Thank you for letting us know. I'll be sure to post on our IG too.

That was kinda my thought too

So Joanie and I came up with a few names today. Tell us which ones you like best...

1. We.Love.Books
2. Book_nited
3. Book.Maniacs
4. A.Book. Affair
5. Book.Madness

Help us pick a name!

Don't forget to post your review link here!

awesome. Joanie and I will get together and come up with final details and a name.

Here's how it would work...

It's a private acct on IG that Joanie & I would be the admins of.

Those wanting in would send us a DM & Request to follow.

We would review & let them in.

Members can tag us in up to 2 posts a day

All members would be required to like all posts that were tagged in the group within 24-48 hours of being posted.

All members would need to comment on a minimum of 2 posts per week.

Joanie and I would do checks every two weeks. Anyone who didn't follow the rules would get a strike. 3 Strikes and you're removed from the engagement group.

Joanie & I were talking today and thinking about starting our own engagement group. At first, I think we should only let in SP Only Club members. But as we learn and it grows we could open to others. What do y'all think? Is that something you would participate in?

So...

For our 1st follow 4 follow post my personal acct got 6 followers, but our SP acct got 16.

What about y'all?
