Shared, Amy! That should get you even more applause. You always have my applause.

I would really appreciate if you all would share my blog post. I have two free kindle promos going on this week for both of my books: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
That's awesome Dale! Shared!

Anna Faversham wrote: "Angel - you have the right name!"Thank you, Anna! My mom named me Angel. It's my real birth name. She said God told her to name me that when I was born.
Alex wrote: "*blushes* you say the nicest things, Angel, I'm glad you're part of this group."Thank you, Alex. I am glad too. But I'm just being honest. :)
I think other things can also make a hero. It can be someone who gives useful advice, gives their time to someone in need, shares their life story to help others by giving them hope, brings others together, shares the spotlight with someone else, or sharing their talents with the world through writing books, art, song, etc. I believe we indie authors are heroes because of the adversity we face everyday, as human beings, as artists. What we do brings hope, life and truth to the world. It's why we are blessed with the gift of words, of story. Alex you have a way with words and you share it with the world. There are people out there who connect with your words, your books with you. I have watched you interact with each of us on a very human, real and very relatable level about things going on in your life. That takes true courage and grit. That is true heroism.
Alex wrote: "Thanks, Angel, I had to post my bio a while ago for a site I want an ad on and following the advice here I took out the line about my books. I think it's better without it, but, and perhaps it's ju..."You welcome! From reading your bio above. I found it very authentic which made it interesting to me. What you may think isn't interesting about yourself. Someone else may find interesting. Don't sell yourself short, Alex. :)
It looks good to me, Alex. I do agree with Marie the part about your book is out of place. Maybe put it at the end or next to the end paragraph of your bio. It actually depends on the reader what draws them in about you. My experience is that a lot of readers have never read my bio or took the time (because there have been a few here and there that have said "Oh, I didn't know this or that about you.") And mine is as real as it gets. I have traveled abroad to other countries myself but haven't detailed that in my bio. Only when I'm writing my books I leave the rest of my real life background for my characters. Because in this world of internet ( we humans have no privacy anymore) you have to be careful when telling something about yourself. Be as intimate as possible but without telling too much. That's what I did with my bio. But there are those who have read my bio and even though my bio is clean and standard. Well let's just say you get all kinds of crazies, stalkers with their lewd and disturbing propositions and so called people who think they mean well.

I get your point, Alex.
Carole wrote: "No worries Angel. This is a good forum to talk and air things out. Diversity of opinion is the spruce of life and only when we talk and rehash things do we find solutions. Aren’t we all friends her..."I still have the link posted in this group discussion as of now. Hope everything stays on the level of an amicable debate. Don't worry, Carole I know you meant spice instead of spruce. :)
When I shared the link in this group, I didn't expect members of the group to be upset by it or with each other. I was only showing how far Amazon and the CEO of Amazon have come. I found it to be impressive and inspiring. That's the only reason I shared the post. Without Amazon my books would probably be unheard of. I wouldn't be heard of. So I have a lot to be grateful for because of them. Amazon got me my start. I can continue with them plus any other places with more of my books because of Amazon. Maybe I should delete the link if it's going to be too much trouble.

Shared the review of your book on my social media, Dale. Hope that helps!
