Eva’s comments from the Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie group.

Erika,

Congratulations! You've written a book with the intention of making a positive difference--and it's noticed!

Thank you, Judy and Erica!

Aislinn,

Take it from someone who has always struggled and vacillated with "quitting" - something invariably happens to turn things around. Maybe it's one book sale after a drought. Maybe it's one review. For me, I needed the morale boost with this recent contest win. There are a glut of books out there, and more born every minute. This is why Indies cooperate, so maybe, we can rise above the ashes of obscurity. Sales may not be part of that equation. It takes time. There isn't any one answer, so we try so many different things and cut our losses or stay the course.

Best wishes to you and to each of us to find our way.

Humbled with gratitude, I'm honored that my novel won 1st place for "Best Contemporary" in the 2017 Summer Indie Book Awards contest.

This is truly navigating the indie world through Indies helping Indies achieve to achieve our dreams and goals.

Thank you, Carole--what Erica said--about needing us to contribute financially again. My hardy thanks to you and Brit!

Carole,

I just took advantage of your generous offer! Thank you!

Carole and Brittney,

Thank you! I'm so happy my book is part of the lot!

I'm happy to say that my books are on their way. Again, my thanks to you, Brittney, and Carole for your tireless efforts.

Thank you, Brittney!

It's great to see my book here, soon bound for the Emmys!

Thank you, Carole!

I filled out the form and emailed it yesterday to you, Carole. I don't think I specified that I want my book for the Emmys.

And, am I correct in understanding that I can send more than one copy of the same book to the address on the form?

Great idea going with the teacup!

Carole,

Thank you. I'll PM you about the Emmys.

Congratulations to everyone!

Hi, Sarah

I know you're already inundated, but I'll add the Amazon link to my Contemporary Women's Fiction:

Unfortunately, disclosures can happen in reviews. From my perspective, I'm grateful for my reviews--ecstatic over the 5-Stars!

I understand where you're coming from.

Thank you! The setting of my book is an integral part of the story. I will definitely look into this.

Carole wrote: "Great review."

Thank you! It certainly made my morning when I discovered it!

An Indie author, I treasure each and every book review. I'm honored and humbled to share the latest for my Contemporary Women's Fiction novel:

Reviewed by author Roy Murry (Murry Reviews and Inerviews)

Augusta and Lindsay come from two different worlds. Augusta born and bred in Beauchemin, a small Rhode Island town, and Lindsay, a historian, who resides in Boston, Massachusetts, cross paths because of Beauchemin's French Canadian historical past.

They tell their stories in alternating chapters in somewhat of a soliloquy style with discourses and bantering monologs about past lovers, friends, family, and the people of Beauchemin's. Augusta is an administrator in the town's main factory. Lindsay changes residence hired to investigate into the historical value of it.

Their storytelling was somewhat lengthy at times but entertaining and insightful into the town's array of characters whom Augusta knew personally, a few biblically. Lindsay, in her research, finds a new home from the chaotic Boston lifestyle. Both stories converge on Augusta's childhood friend Estelle's prominent family that owns the factory and a young child's life-changing tragedy.

The bedroom tales, a disaster in a child's life, a Quiche Contest, and Estelle and Augusta's hidden past, Ms. Pasco details with comedy, drama, and enlightenment into the past of relocated hard working Canucks. Her writing is intelligent and easy to digest after getting into the rhythm of her sometimes-elongated sentences.

This Quiche was humanizing from a woman's point of view.
