Faye Carlisle (FayeCarlisle) | 6 comments Hi all,

My name is Faye and I have recently self-published an ebook 'Psychology for parents: birth to teens'. I have a blog http://psychologymum.wordpress.com that discusses parenting issues.

I also have a blog http://theselfpublishingjourney.wordp... that gives experiences and advice on self-publishing to authors. I am looking for authors' experiences and quotes of self-publishing to add to this blog. I will make sure I refer to your book as well when I post your comments. If you are interested, please email me at fayecarlisle at gmail dot com.

Here's the most recent entry.

Madonna – New Novel Published

I know what some of you might be thinking: “Wait a minute. Didn’t you just publish a new novel last month?” Good memory – I did…The Dreams of Teddy Schreck.

I suppose before you conclude that I am more prolific than a literary bunny, I should explain. Madonna is a novel I began in 1985 and for reasons I cannot recall, abandoned that same year. After rereading the first three chapters, I dove back into it…editing, rewriting…pretty much a complete overhaul. I asked my wife to read chapters one through three to gauge if the rewrite was worth pursuing. She urged me to continue, saying the characters captivated her and she wanted to know what happened next. So I continued to rewrite Madonna, until I reached a point where I was unsure where to go with it. It was 1985 all over again!

Not content to remain stalled in a non-writing period, I set Madonna aside and began drafting The Dreams of Teddy Schreck, which I published last month, and then turned my attention back to Madonna. It only remained to finish one chapter and the book was completed.

madonna cover September 2012 smallIn this novel, Mary Cottle struggles day-to-day as a widow and the single mother of a 43-year-old son with special needs. She wanders the streets of her town, scavenging abandoned “treasures” that she then sells to an antiques dealer and friend, Karl. From this meager income, she provides a bare-bones life for her son, Jimmy. He is a simple man, but one day he confronts his mother with the revelation that he has a girlfriend…a woman who works nights with him cleaning offices. Dread overcomes Mary. She has feared this day for years and despite all the time she has had to prepare for it, when considering what to do about her son’s announcement, she flounders. At times Jimmy behaves no better than a child; Mary frets about how to dissuade him from this entanglement as she would in denying him a shiny toy. But her son surprises her….and assists Mary in surprising herself. Mary wistfully considers how her deceased husband would manage their son’s desires. Her friendship with Karl blossoms beyond what she ever could have anticipated. She ritually visits the neighborhood tavern, spars with the bartender, sips Scotch for breakfast and predicts his fortune while gazing at a small crystal ball. And then there is the girl…Connie…bent on complicating her life. Mary abandons caution and reacts to Jimmy’s news recklessly, oblivious to the consequences. Her decisions snowball, appropriately she feels, as a winter storm assaults the town in drifts and frigid temperatures. Unexpected events unfold and Mary’s reticence to allow Jimmy the things he has always coveted begins to melt. She spies a light at the end of her tunnel and charges headlong toward it. Never having believed she deserved a happy ending to her life, Mary casts aside her fears and lunges toward one.
That’s the end of old manuscripts…all future novels will be crafted from scratch.
I hope you enjoy reading both Madonna and The Dreams of Teddy Schreck

Weston Kincade (wakincade) | 102 comments Hey everyone. Almost seems like each thread of this Indie Books Group has its own following. :)

If you like paranormal and dark fiction stories, I have a couple continuing book series and a short story collection. One is even YA. There are also some short stories on my site that were previously published and I have gained the rights back to. So, now they are available to be read for free. I also sometimes do interviews with other writers whose books I've read, but that's rare. To find out about my books, read a bit about the self-publishing experience and my experience be published simultaneously, and other tidbits, my blog is: http://www.kincadefiction.blogspot.com.

If you are looking for an editor for your novel, my editing site is http://wakeediting.com

I look forward to meeting all of you and hope your writing ventures go very well.

Maya Jewell (willowjewell) | 2 comments This is my web serial, a contemporary romantic adventure entitled, HIS FIRST DUCHESS:

Blame Napa's Friday commute. She did.

Amelie Harris looked down from the overpass at the jammed freeway. She hummed a little and took a peek in the rear view at the traffic crowded in behind her; winding its way like a funky metal serpent up Jamison Canyon and all the way back into Napa. Hah. Well, she was a terrible person of course, but there was some consolation in knowing she wasn’t alone in going nowhere fast.

She gazed hungrily at the off ramp a couple hundred yards ahead. If she could just get there she would be able to take the back roads through Rockville and Fairfield and sail into Vacaville with the wind in her hair. Finally! Jamming Queen into the CD player Amelie gave a whoop of freedom, rolled down the windows and cranked open the little Volkswagen Rabbit's sunroof. As she raced over and around the rolling hills and shops and farm houses that ranged from shabby chic to just shabby, she thought about how much she loved California. Northern Cal was the best part and she dared anyone to say otherwise. Living in Vacaville was good too. Her tiny, tree-embowered bungalow infused her entire life with a sense of home and security. The girls and The Fams were nearby, but not too close. 'Let's meet at your place in fifteen and walk to Gazpacho's for lunch'? Awesome. 'Knock. Knock. 'Can I borrow some coffee'? Not so good....

Megan (meganphaskell) | 6 comments Just launched a new website: www.meganhaskell.com. Still (always) a work in progress, but I'd love it if you'd follow my blog and give feedback on the 'About the Author' page!

Over the next several months/years I'll be adding a lot of info about my current WIP, 'Sanyare: Book One of the 9 Realms'. It's a fantasy adventure, with a touch of romance, about a human woman raised as a changeling in the High Court, who must go on a quest to discover her true identity.

Looking forward to seeing you over there!
