Coming Soon: Virtual Indie Author Conference!
Hello everyone! It's been longer than I thought since the last time I posted here! I've been busy with a lot of things other than writing in the last couple years and while I do have future publishing plans, in the meantime, I am doing something a little different.
I've wanted to organize something for the indie community for a while, and so I am putting together a virtual conference for

“I've come to the conclusion that a man without a cause is nothing. He has nothing to look forward to, he has nothing to work toward; he is as a man lost, wandering in the darkest part of his heart to find a deeper, better purpose in his life.”
― On a Foreign Field: A Story of Loyalty and Brotherhood
― On a Foreign Field: A Story of Loyalty and Brotherhood
“When you are a soldier you do not always realize there is anything beyond the will of your commander, the will of your king. But when you're on the field of battle, when the swords clash and the colors fly above you in all their glory, there comes a time when you wonder: Why am I here? All the brilliance fades, the glory becomes meaningless; the blood spilled and comrades dead, all for nothing when you have no cause to fight for.”

Thank you! Well, it will be up on the blog for a few days so you can stop by anytime :) And the giveaway will be running through July 20th, so if you want to enter there will be plenty of time to do so :)
A huge congratulations on the finish and release of your new book, Wolfsblood! I'm not sure if I'll be able to pop in for the release party, but either way hats off to you! :)Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Ahh, that was a close one! Yes, I always try to remember to back my stuff up as soon as I'm done with it. I remember the pins and needles feeling of using my old computer and wondering whether it would lose my files, My laptop is a lot more nice to use because I don't have to worry about that too much.
I almost fried my laptop yesterday - on accident, naturally. Had a moment of panic and was immediately glad that I had backed up my story on a Flashdrive. Thankfully, though, the computer didn't die. Phew!
Man I hate it when I don't have my laptop!!!! I hate being forced to use a Windows computer!!!
I got my first five star review today from a complete stranger!! Sweet as a nut! =Dhttp://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Scedual up for On a Foreign Field: A Story of Loyalty and Brotherhood blog tour! Take a look:http://hazelwest.blogspot.com/2012/08...
Currently waiting for a haul of books I ordered from Powell's! So excited =)
I don't think anyone fully appreciates my love for the Dummies series...
Hi Hazel! Thanks for friending me. I look forward to conversations with you :)
Thanks for friending me! It would be great to talk steampunk. :)
Thanks for accepting my friend invite! I like connecting with other authors!
Soo... what's next? Gladiators or Victorian steampunk....I'll write both!!
Just got me proof copy!! Looks awesome, not just have to figure out if the one annoying margin is my fault or happened in printing... grr...
You know, I bloody hate facebook. It's even hard to create an account for a fictional character (hits head against the wall)In other news, I just ordered the proof copy of "On a Foreign Field" Hopefully that will turn out much better!
Hi Hazel! Thanks for accepting my friend request :)So, I mostly read YA novels. I'm trying to get into more classics though also. I read basically any YA, but mostly fiction. I'll read paranormal, dystopian, contemporary, adventures and stuff like that. I like heroes and people who can stand up for themselves and aren't reliant on everyone else. I like strong willed characters.
Odd's Fish! I can't believe tomorrow is the Fourth!!!
Thanks for the kind words! I entered your giveaway too! Not normally my thing, but I want to start reviewing other indie writers more often!
Thanks again, so much Karen! I'm very excited by that news =D
Okay, I'll start discussion here so no one will be afraid. Feel free to comment at anytime on my profile or my blog or about any of my books and such. Slainte, Hazel
