D.M.’s comments from the Indie and Self-Pub Book Corner group.

Writers gotta eat like everyone else :) I say purchase the book. What does everyone else think?

Please post your review on the group!

Please make sure the books are currently published by a independent publisher or are self-published. They can be written by your or your favorite author!

Here's the shelf: http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

A challenge to read at least one book off of the group's book shelf before the end of autumn, December 21st.

Be sure to add your favorite self published or independent published book!

Sound off if you accept the challenge.

Read AND post a review for a non-traditionally published book by the end of June. Happy reading!

good idea Amy!

Thanks Eileen! Working on this for my own book, and a book for a friend, now :) Did you use Windows Movie Maker?

Ahem, here's mine :) Heather's Heart

Having read some of Doug's work in the past, I was surprised at first at the action-packed, thriller opening. But then the story turned to what I love about Doug's writing: engaging characters.

I was very surprised at a few parts. At times I wanted to cry, other times go hide under the covers. It was the perfect combination of action, interest, and background. Though strongly a fantasy book (they go to Hades and back!) Heather's Heart touches on real life issues facing parents and teens: bullying, abuse, siblings, and homelessness to name a few. But for the die-hard fight scene lover, this book doesn't disappoint you either!

I just have to say this: after reading you'll never look at kids that wear heavy make up the same again. Or sweet foods, for that matter.

Our very own Alison DeLuca's book The Night Watchman Express is #3 in kindle > children's books. A hearty congratulations my dear!

I found the event, for some reason it is just not showing up at the group: http://www.goodreads.com/event/show/1...

Sorry about the event! Anyone know why it disappeared?

Post your responses here; I am nervous about making a new event until I know why the first one disappeared.

Happy reading!

Jeana, sounds interesting, what is the name of your first book?

Kind of a handicap in the Indie Author world, but I know what you mean. I tell myself it isn't about me, it's about the book."

I want to know more about you Gary ;-)

I had no idea you were into all that! I was considering writing about war in the Middle East, but from the perspective of a rouge angel determined to prevent the next apocalypse.
