Hi Kelly, welcome. The key thing is getting seen and reviewed, so being here could be a good start, as could having a FB page dedicted to your book. But there's also a lot of luck, especially as there are so many free books out there.

Like your no nonesense approach: "Witches are real, and to be blunt, they’re all black-hearted, and evil."Definitely leaves the reader in no doubt as to what to expect!

Authors, do you find marketing your books easier or harder than the actual writing of the book?

[Christine]

It's nice to meet you David and Deborah and Kay

[K.S.]

Thanks Alan, I'll keep that in mind!

Amazon KDP Select might be worth considering, but think hard before using the free promotion option. Many people now think that any advantage from free giveaways has been lost due to massive over-saturation.

Hi contemporary romance readers,

To celebrate the release of my second self-published book, Discovering Pride, on January 31st, my first book, Finding Pride, is NOW FREE until then!!!

--------------
[image error]

FINDING PRIDE:
Megan Kimble was traveling a long way to find the next chapter in her life, one that would not include her brother Matt. Losing him now was tragic, even more so since she had finally freed herself from the abuse and the shame of a bad marriage. She'd spent years hiding things from Matt, so he wouldn't know about her horrible life. Keeping her secret world of bruises, cuts, and broken bones, much like the one she now sported with a large white cast.

Dealing with her loss was hard, but, now she was thinking of taking over Matt's new business venture. This could be the fresh start she needed, a new town, a new place to forget the pain and maybe she could learn to trust again.

Todd Jordan was a successful businessman, who had once lost it all, and now he'd just lost his best friend and business partner. But, then she came into town broken and scared, and for the first time in a long time he was looking forward to his future. Breaking down Megan's barriers would take patience and strength, and he would need that strength to keep what he loves safe.

----------------

DISCOVERING PRIDE:
Lacey Jordan was a woman who knew what she wanted… and she wanted nothing to do with the new doctor in town. He had the perfect smile, perfectly tan muscles and a way with people. Her people. This was her town, her family, her life, and he’d come in and shaken everything up, including her heart.


Aaron was running away from a hard breakup where more then just his heart had been broken. At this point all he wanted to do was take over his grandfather’s medical practice, and work on his new house, turning it into the first place he could call home. He liked the town of Pride, in fact he’d spent the only good parts of his childhood here. What he hadn’t expected was to bump into a fairy goddess. Bumping hard enough to get a concussion and have his heart mended at the same time.


Then, the town gets a visit that will change their lives forever, if they can survive.

Hi, everyone.

My name is Armada. I'm 26 and thanks to my crazy parents from whom I caught the insanity, I have lived in 6 countries. Not even going to try counting how many states, cities and towns.
I write horror and fantasy for the most part, but dip my toes into other genre. I'm trying to edit my first novel right now. It's painful.

[Brian]

Hello, just a quick note of introduction and thanks for establishing this vibrant community. My name is Paul Nourigat. I am a newer author, with 7 published books over the past 18 months. Quite simply, I saw an opportunity to help young people (K-12) and their families avoid future pain from the financial challenges prevalent in so many lives. My seven titles are all fictional but relevant stories about money, with original illustrations on every page from artists around the world. The books are lightly profiled on this site, with more detail and press coverage found at www.farbeyond.com

I look forward to learning more about this community, contributing what I can, and leveraging the wisdom of the authors and readers on the site!

Again, thanks, paul

[Michelle]

I am a new author, just published my first young adult paranormal romance, Raven, to Amazon and waiting on B&N. I'm very excited to see where it goes after all of the work I put into it. I do believe that my 7 year old daughter is just as excited as I am!
Raven is the first book in what will be a three book series. If anyone is interested in checking it out I have a book teaser trailer on my facebook page. www.facebook.com/ravenseries

Let me know what you think if you check it out or read the book! :)

Have a great day everyone!

[Pierce]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Pierce Minor. I'm a writer out of Los Angeles, CA. My first novel TWISTIR is a YA Supernatural story, due out this March (3.1.13).
I've been writing screenplays for years, as well poetry. Studied film in college (directing), and I've done some acting here and there.

I love reading, writing, travel, spending time with close friends and family, and I love concerts. My favorite shows have been COLDPLAY, The Fray, Lifehouse, and JT. I'd love to see John Mayer, though. He's my favorite artist (don't hold that against me). lol.

I'm starting a literacy non-profit soon for kids, and I'm glad to have found Goodreads. Thanks!

Pierce M.

your welcome


How's everyone doing?

[Christine]

Where do you work at?

[[deleted user]]

Hello,

I'm just a reader although at one point as a child i was in the local newspaper for my writing abilities and i used to think i would like to write a story of my life, however i don't think it would be very believable and i probably don't really have the time at this stage of my life. Yet perhaps it's something i could do in my old age! :)

My children show the same passion for reading as i do and my daughter would live in the school library given half a chance :)

Anyway, i hope everyone is having a lovely day.
All the best for now x

[Robert]

My name is Robert Marion. I'm a thirty-something computer programmer during the day and a thriller writer whenever else I can find time. I've been writing since I was in elementary school and thought I could write a sequel to my favorite movie at the time, "The Land Before Time". Boy, was that long ago.

I'm married to a fiery redhead. I have a young son that was born 6 weeks premature. You learn a lot about yourself and your spouse when you spend 3 weeks in an NICU.

My latest dip into the indie author world is Danger Close, a military thriller set in Afghanistan. I'm also on Twitter.

Hope to get to know a lot of you here!

[Michelle]

Abigail, most definitely. when you get it wrong, you suffer the consequences. my next book.with be edited to within an inch of its life before the release of the first edition.....and not the second two days later :-)

[Sarah]

Hey everyone!
My name is Sarah I'm a junior at Ohio State University majoring in Childhood Education with a focus in English. I have been in love with reading since I was little, but I'll admit it was my adventures with Harry Potter that made me truly become an avid reader. I read all kinds of different genres, but I basically always find myself reading within the wonderful world of teen literature. As always though, I am open to suggestions! I hope to learn a lot through this group,so I can't wait to start discussing with you all!! :)

[Michelle]

secondly Abigail, it also appears I need to edit my comments for errors, as typing on the mobile phone results in mistakes too, as my last entry proves :-)
