Hi everyone! I know I've been a little out of the loop lately, but I'm so happy to see the group doing so well, and to see that many new members have joined. If I haven't already said it, "welcome!"

I am anxiously awaiting the release of a new book so as soon as it is available I will post it, and I'm trying to find the time to complete another new book I've been in the process of working on for some time.

I have created this site for authors to meet one another, and knowing how hard it is to gain exposure, I have the hope that each of you will help one another. The road to becoming published can be a long and tedious one at times, so once you get there...share it with the world!

Post your links here to share with one another and I am going to start guest blogging so if anyone would like to interview please let me know and I will happily do so. Let me know if you have a Facebook fanpage yet so I can visit your page, and please visit mine at http://www.facebook.com/jodistone.chi...

Facebook has been a great tool for making contacts and creating a fan base, so if you're not already using this tool to market yourself, you should!

Post a comment if you care to be interviewed about your books, and also with your links so we can all help one another!

Until next time, happy writing!

I'm looking for kid guest bloggers to highlight their stories on how they overcame physical or emotional challenges. If any of our members knows anyone who has such a story, tell them to contact me at either of the above sites. They can check out my "Overcoming Challenges" blog to get an idea of what I mean.

Thanks again, Jody, for all your help.

Also, if you ever need a reviewer, I'd be happy to review and blog about the book!

[Janet]

That would be great. Where should I have my publishers send the book? Is an ebook okay? It will be in print soon, but not sure exactly when.

E Book would be great! They can send it to my email at stone3snuggles@netzero.net
After reading the book, I'll share the review on Amazon, Goodreads and Facebook. All I ask is if maybe you would review my newest book when it is released in the fall? Another author friend of mine here, Gail Hedrick loved the cover too...she posted in the introduction area. She might review your book too if you're interested. I can't wait to read it! I also went ahead and shared the link to your book/facebook on my facebook page.

I'll write a blog post as well after reading it...maybe you could tell me a little bit about how you found your inspiration, bio etc and links potential readers can visit. We'll do that after I read it. Look forward to it!

[Janet]

That's great, Jodi! I'd love to review your book as well. I'll get the book to you ASAP. Thanks again. Love the authors helping authors philosophy. :) Yes to your friend Gail , too !

[Gail]

Hi,all,
As long as folks are not in a hurry, I love doing reviews! I have a "Sony ereader' or even a PDF version and I'll read on my computer.
Thanks,
Gail

[Janet]

Great and thanks, Gail. Do you happen to have a Kindle app? I'm a little techno challenged. I'm thinking the publishers have a PDF. What's your email?

[Michael]

I am a first time author with a children's e-book.I was wondering if you would be interested in reading my book. It's called The Rainbow Stick Boy.The book is the story of Huey, a stick boy who is born a little different than everyone else in the town. He doesn't let his differences keep him down. Huey finds a friend who is also a little different and together they find the magic at the end of the rainbow, and discover that their differences are really only skin deep.

I also have a blog (http://therainbowstickboy.blogspot.com) for independent authors book reviews if you wanted to recommend any children's e-books that you thought would make a good review.

Thanks for checking it out!
