Weston Kincade (wakincade) | 102 comments Nope. You're just talking to yourself. I'm an empathic virtual mirror. :)

Heddon | 13 comments Did you know if you type 'are other people...' into google, it auto-fills in 'are other people real'. I'm not sure what that says about the world if we are asking a search engine that question...

Weston Kincade (wakincade) | 102 comments Lots of people trying to be Nietzsche or Confucius?


message 1204: by Heddon (new)

Heddon | 13 comments If they think Google has the answer I suspect they have issues! It leads into a whole world of philosophical debate. If other people aren't real, how can the internet be real? And if it is real but other people aren't, how did it get there and how on earth does it hold answers to questions like that? If the internet's purely the product of that individual's imagination then the answer they receive from Google will be too.
Perhaps I'm overthinking this.

Weston Kincade (wakincade) | 102 comments LOL, probably, but it's certainly funny to consider.

Heddon | 13 comments Hi L.J. I am pretty new to this too. However I have a review from an Authors Alliance reviewer on here http://bit.ly/InkTjs, have you tried them for reviews? They have a great team covering loads of different genres. You can only request one review at a time for one title. The review goes on their site and others which the reviewer uses, e.g. here, Amazon, etc... Sorry if you already knew all this, I am just really happy about it!

Hi Xavier.. Nice to meet you both :)

Paris Cross (authorpariscross) | 6 comments Hello All,

Well I can't say I'm an indie author YET, but I'm working on it! :) I'm halfway through my first book, a YA paranormal romance novel. It's going to be a trilogy - that's the plan anyway. The series is called The Phoenix Heir, and book one is Firestorm. I have no education in writing, but it's a big hobby of mine that I'd like to make a profession, and this project is my baby. lol. So, if anyone would like to read some of what I have so far, the first ten chapters are available here and I'd LOVE some feedback! Oh, my author website is in the works as well. www.authorambercross.com, and I'll have the first couple of chapters posted there soon as well.

I'm an avid reader, a sucker for paranormal romance obviously, and I support my indie author friends in any way I can. My education is actually in graphic design, so I work with a lot of indie authors in their book cover designs. My design website is www.ethinkgraphics.com. This isn't an advertisement scheme or anything. Like I said, I want to publish my book and I really love writing! I just happen to be able to design my own covers as well and I don't mind helping other authors out while I'm at it!

Anyway, that's my story! I hope to get some feedback on my writing, good or bad, and I look forward to meeting more like minded people!

Take Care!

message 1212: by Heddon (new)

Heddon | 13 comments Hi Amber,

You sound very busy! I will take a look at your sites when I get a chance. I run a small publishing company for independent authors, and am an author as well, currently writing my second book - very, very slowly. If I can help with anything let me know.

Kath :-)

K.T. McColl Hello all. My name is KT McColl and am glad to have found this group. I've been writing erotica (paranormal, BDSM, and some quirky stuff) since 2008 and have recently entered the world of self-publishing. It's certainly been an education! You can find me on Smashwords and Amazon.
Thanks!

Heddon | 13 comments Hi Sam,

I am originally from Yorkshire but now in the not very wilds of Shropshire. I went on a writing course at Lumb Bank near Hebden Bridge when I was at sixth form. Yorkshire is an excellent place to write!

You've done loads already, I feel ashamed I have only completed one book to date :-)

Yorkshire is a great place to write. It's best up in the Dales where the landscapes are epic. Several places in Yorkshire inspired The Prophecy of Three. I've visited Hebden Bridge a few times, it's a great place.
I'll check your book out. :)

Thanks Sam, my book is Writing the Town Read http://amzn.to/18v4TTj but I publish for other people too, who are all independent authors, hence the Heddon Publishing ID. I went to sixth form in Harrogate, university in Hull, and was born in Leeds - and lived in Doncaster too - so I've definitely seen a bit of Yorkshire!


message 1221: by Sam (new)

Sam Whitehouse (samavidreaderandwriter) Doncaster is only around twenty minutes from where i live. That's a pretty big coincidence. Do you miss Yorkshire?


message 1222: by Heddon (new)

Heddon | 13 comments Hi Sam,
I do miss Yorkshire, but have moved around quite a lot so miss pretty much everywhere! I harbour dreams of moving to Cornwall one day but for now I just have to set me books there :-)

A few scenes in Prophecy of Three the Keys of Time are set in Cornwall, Devon too, it's just an epic part of the country that i thought it had to be included in the series.

Your thoughts, comments and reviews would be very helpful, and I would be happy to do the same in return.

Kate Stewart (katestewartauthor) | 2 comments Hi, I’m Kate Stewart and I published my debut novel TITAN in October. My genre is fictional romance. TITAN is exclusive to AMAZON and is FREE today. I am coming into this group with the hopes of gaining a few friends to share the trials and triumphs of being an indie author. It has been the most exciting and terrifying experience of my life, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I would really love to be the next John Hughes. My dream is to write stories that are a voice for a generation like he did. It means so much to me simply to have a platform to attempt to do so. I look forward to sharing 2014 with all of you.
