Time to move on

[Jay]

I'm resigning as moderator today. This group has been a fantastic experience, and I've made some good friends along the way, but situations change and I have a limited amount of time free to achieve what I want, not least of which is getting some writing done.

I'll complete G40 and G41 setup if/when they get enough members. After that the other mods will sort out who will take over group setup duties. I'm on holiday for the next couple of weeks but will pick up messages from time to time so can still answer queries for the new G42 if no one else is available; I suggest posting on the group thread in the first instance so you can help each other out.

It really has been a memorable time for me, and that's down to the other mods and you, the members. Thank you.

Thanks for your leadership and dedication.

[Kshitij]

Thanks for your dedication to the group.

[C.D.]

Thank you, Jay for all the efforts you did for this group.

We'll miss you Jay, hopefully things will continue to run smoothly thanks to the excellent way you have set things up.
This is a wonderful resource for all indie authors, and we need to support it.

[E.G.]

Sorry you are leaving. You have been great and the group provides a wonderful opportunity for indie authors.

[Jay]

Thank you all :)
I'll stay a member - hopefully I'll need a group to get some reviews of the new novel in December.

Right, I second those thoughts wholeheartedly!

I just wanted to add that I originally joined this group as a member because I thought the concept put together mainly by Jay & Mike was so remarkable - this is something that other people weren't doing and to a large extent still aren't. A unique thing has been created here, and while it's evolved and will continue to evolve, the fact remains that it has a fantastic idea at its core. Salute to Jay, and an award of a Moggie (Member of the Order of Goodreads).

*blushes*
So, I've finally been recognised as the old alley cat I really am, eh?

[K.A.]

I'm sure someone can create an appropriate-appearing award...anybody remember Bill the Cat?

Organizing writers is like herding cats. Your patience is admirable. Thanks.

Thanks for all your hard work in bringing this group together! It was a great idea that you made work.
