Hope you had a great Indie Author Day

Yes, that is me with NY Times best-selling author ALEX KAVA. She was the moderator at our Indie Author panel yesterday (Saturday, October 8th, 2016) for Indie Author Day in Seward, Nebraska. I think the audience had a lot of fun, with a lot of laughs from all the talented Indie Authors I was surrounded by. Hope you other authors/illustrators/poets got out there and celebrated too!
