Thanks for the invitation, Barb! I see I have a few friends here. I'll go invite some others, too. I am nearly finished writing my first book, a novella, the first in a series. I write about young women creating their lives in the 20th century. Come visit me at my blog http://marcia-richards.com or Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest @MarciaARichards.I look forward to the discussions.

Thanks for stopping by! We have started up two sites:
Indie Book Promo
Book Promo Central
What we have created are sites that cater to all authors. We really want to have somewhere that gets lots of traffic where authors can promote their books. We are posting guest posts/interviews or blurb/excerpt/bio spots for free the first three months the site is up. We are already getting tons of hits, so drop by and see if it's something that you are interested in! We'd love to host you! Feel free to ask questions and either Babs or I will answer!

Thanks for joining us! As you can see, the name of the game is to promote authors - all authors - regardless of how they publish their books and regardless of genre. Feel free to drop by either or both sites ( Indie Book Promo
Book Promo Central ) and see what we can do for you! Posting is free for the first three months. Take advantage of our ever increasing audience and see if we can help you sell some more books!
If you have any questions, either Babs or I will be available to help!

Send us some authors to promote! Posting on our sites is free for the first three months and frankly, the hits are through the roof. Rachel Thompson is one of our group and has been promoting this on her stream.
Let us promote some of your authors!

Thanks for the invite, Barb. I'm a new author. I know I have a lot to learn and this seems to be just the place to start.
Absolutely! Where do I send or just list them in comments? Looking forward to the database as well.
I've just accepted an invite to join this group from Barb. Thanks Barb! I'm a former homicide detective and the author of three true crime books based on my experiences in the homicide unit - Walking Among the Dead, Standing In Death's Shadow, and Death Comes Uninvited (to be released this summer) have opened my writing pathway.
I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone here.

Hi, my name is William Kenney. Thank you very much for the invite. I am primarily an author of fantasy stories, but also venture into the horror realm occasionally. My published work includes:
From the In the Shadow of the Black Sun series
Book One-A Dream of Storms
Book Two-Shards of S'Darin
From the YA series, Tales of Embremere
Embremere
And a horror novella
Undergrowth
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the stories.

Thanks for the invitation.I'm an author whose work falls mainly into two categories - self-help psychological non-fiction (under the pseudonym Joe Blow) and humorous erotica as Aussiescribbler.
All of my ebooks are free. For a while I tried selling my erotica, but high downloads of free books compared to minimal sales encouraged me to make everything free. Since the kind of stories I write are appealing to a niche audience I thought it was a good way to get known. If I build up a fan base there is always time to write new stories for sale. One of my erotica ebooks (actually a single very short story) Lusting While Dusting just passed 10000 downloads. And my self-help book How to be Free has received 57 five star ratings on US I-Tunes and much positive feedback from readers.
I look forward to participating in this exciting group.
I'm Rebecca aka RP Dahlke. I write the Dead Red mystery series and a romantic sailing mystery, A Dangerous Harbor. I just posted my FREE Kindle day on the site. Thanks. Looking forward to what's happening here.

I see from my email notifications that you asked about a badge to promote the sites, but I can't seem to find the question here on Goodreads....so I'm just answering it :)
Each site has a badge on the sidebar. We would love it if you would put it on your site and link it back.
The two sites are:
Indie Book Promo
Book Promo Central

Hi everyone! I am a full time student, mother, and the author of four works of fiction in varying genres. In the past I have done a little editing work on a couple of indie author's books, which is what I am going to school for. I am also an avid reader and I do a little reviewing on the side. Follow me on Twitter @brandellavanela and on my blog http://twistingyourmindonewordatatime... for updates on what's happening and the occasional giveaway or two.
