Forgive my ignorance but what does "PA" refer to?

That sounds really interesting!! Have you published any of it yet; I'd be interested to read it.

Welcome Renee!! Congratulations on your first pub!

I think you'll find the groups helpful in a lot of ways; I know I have in the short amount of time I've been here :)

Welcome E.M.!!

I'm fairly new here myself but if I can help in any way just ask; I'll be glad to help :)

Hello D. Gail, welcome!

G.G. wrote: "Hello Eldon, Welcome to the group. I hope you'll publish your other three soon. Are you going Indie or trying Trad pub?"

I will be going Indie all the way!! Nothing against traditional modes of publishing but for me...there are just way too many hoops to jump through.

And yes my other three will be coming soon (next one before the end of summer is my goal).

Amen to that...the feel of actually holding your finished book in your hands - AMAZING :)

Hello Elona,

It's nice to meet you. This may seem like a stupid question but what is b2b?

Hi Todd,

I too love those kind of endings; there's nothing better than a good thought provoking ending.

Hello all! My name is Eldon Farrell; I'm an indie author of 4 novels though only one has thus far been published (working on getting the rest published!).

I'm exceedingly new to social media but will do my best not to commit any faux pas. I hope to bring what expertise I have to this group and help in anyway that I can.

Look forward to meeting you all!
