Bryan (bryanrdennis) | 17 comments Some of you probably already heard of my book blog over at the Kindleboards. For those who haven't - I started a blog that features flash excerpts (snippets) from indie novels and story anthologies. The idea is you submit a passage from your work with one catch: it has to be under 200 words (excluding an optional intro line). It's just another way to promote your books and discover new talent. It's free.

If you're interested, check it out at www.indiesnippets.blogspot.com

Vered (vered_ehsani) Great idea, thanks Bryan!

Bryan (bryanrdennis) | 17 comments My pleasure. It seems to be getting pretty popular. All posts get posted to Twitter and Facebook now. I've also used Kindle Publisher for Blogs so people can subscribe and get the posts on their Kindles.

It's all about helping indie authors get discovered and provides a novel way for readers to sample new fiction.


Stephen Livingston | 18 comments Sounds good Bryan. I'll send you a snippet from my short story collection "Kindling".

Bryan (bryanrdennis) | 17 comments The more the merrier Stephen. Keep in mind also that months from now when this blog is getting thousands of visitors (not unlikely) you're snippet could still show on the main page in the popular posts column or under each post in the 'also like' section. Some authors might see that I'm a new blog and not bother submitting, but that would be a mistake. Later on it will be much harder to get featured.


Stephen Livingston | 18 comments I've e-mailed you my snippet. I look forward to seeing it on your site :-)

Bryan (bryanrdennis) | 17 comments Sounds good, Adam. I think I'm only backlogged a couple of weeks at the moment.

Hampieroberts roberts (hampie206528) | 17 comments The Girl Who Lived With the Indians..Hampie Roberts.
I know I had much doubt about my future life with Sky, if it really could be. I wondered about fate and destiny. Was White Wolf my destiny? He had two wives. could I be a third wife? Sky had two wives, how would I fit in?
The little girl whose parents died that day in the wagon, who would she have been had she lived the life she was meant to live with her parents in their white world?
Was that the young girl who fell in love with Martin and then John? But,then there was another girl that had gone back in time, the girl who had discovered love for the first time with the young boy who had been her protector and made her feel those first feelings of love. I knew I loved Sky. That was the woman trying to live in her white world and the Indian girl trying to recapture her lost life. I was like two seperate persons.
Now this third person had turned up, a Comanche woman in love with a Cheyenne warrior.
