Here we are...hmmmm.... Thanks for inviting us.

Today's hot new event for us is the release of our first Indie audiobook, excerpted from our Indie book, "The Fish the Fighters and the Song-girl: http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?...

I'm Janet (E.) Morris, author of the Silistra, Dream Dancers, and Sacred Band of Stepsons series, as well as about 30 more titles. The book referred to above with many typos is "The Fish the Fighters and the Song-girl," coauthored with Chris Morris, and containing new stories and classic tales of our Sacred Band in Thieves World(R) and beyond. Whether ancient or modern, we write heroic fiction, often violent, gritty; always passionate and meant to challenge conventions.

Hello, I'm a fellow Indie Author here! I write mostly Paranormal Romance and I have a total of 3 published works but one is under a vanity press(I know I was green as a gourd) but I have a story featured in a collection as well as my first E-book published through XoXo Publishing. Lost To The Night was a collaboration with Denyse Bridger, Brigit Aine, Kayden Mcleod, and Sara Evans. Cursed Awakening was released last spring and I hope you all will love reading it. I have been writing since well I learned how to write but ask anyone in my family and they will tell you that I have always loved telling stories. Not sure if that's a compliment or not but it took me till I was 35 before I finally threw my inhibitions to the side and took a chance. Hate that it had to be with a vanity press but it led me on a road of enlightenment and discovery of WHAT NOT TO DO. Plus I have met some really great authors. So in some aspects it has been a win win.

My name is Edison McDaniels. I am a writer, novelist, and physician who lives in Wisconsin. I have a number of short stories on the web and in print. My latest is a novel, NOT ONE AMONG THEM WHOLE, available on eBook. Historical fiction. An intense tale set amid the surgeons and battlefield hospitals at the Battle of Gettysburg. David Poyer, the NY Times best selling novelist, called it 'an amazing accomplishment...'

Anyway, hello to all.

Hey, folks! My name is Chicki Brown. I write contemporary romance, interracial romance, women's fiction and inspirational romance. In 2010 I published my first novel on Kindle and Nook and have since published six others. I am a New Jersey native, but I've lived in metro Atlanta, Georgia since 1994.

I am so proud to be here! Thanks for welcoming me to the group. My name is Joe Rinaldo, and I currently have three novels published and available on Amazon: A SPY AT HOME, HAZARDOUS CHOICES, and my latest and most controversial novel, A MORMON MASSACRE. I hope to share with and learn from all of you, and I also want to take a sec to wish all of you a Happy New Year!
A Mormon Massacre

Glad to be here. My partner, Buck Stienke and I write military/action/techno and westerns. Our first three military novels in the Black Eagle Force series are all in Amazon's Best Seller top 100 list. Fiction>War.

Hi, everyone! Nice to see some familiar "faces" here, too! (Hi, Janet!) I currently have a series of comedy-mysteries going on, with nine published to date. In the last month, however, I published a serious novel entitled "Why She Left Us" (under the pseudonym of David Dennis), which should appeal more to the ladies while the comedy-mysteries (the "Brett books") seem to go over especially well with the male readers who are out there.

Hi all, saw an invite on FB so popped over here and joined the group. I have 3 published novels, Inspy Historical Fiction...they're all Westerns with romance. The 3rd, CELTIC KNOT, is on sale for 99¢ until tomorrow on Smashwords! All 3 are also available on Amazon. Now I'm working on contemporary romantic suspense. Looking forward to getting to know more Indie authors :-)

Hi, my name is Amy and, like others, I saw the post on Facebook, so, here I am. I write all sorts of things, but mostly with Alaskan settings that take advantage of the place, the mythology, and the personalities that make the Great Land great.

My first book, The Fishing Widow, a supernatural horror set in Southeast Alaska, is due out on January 6th. There's a FB event: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#... that everyone can join (giveaways like the Gift of the Magi, but Alaskan-style, free downloads, and more), and, for a new twist, at 1pm Alaska Time (that's 5pm Eastern), there will be a Google+ hangout with even more prizes and fun (if you're in Craig, Alaska, there'll be cake and coffee at Waterstreet Cafe). The Google+ link is here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/108706053... Nice to meet you all! If you're around Sunday and curious, stop by! Oh, and my blog is www.akmarshall.com and I'm a reviewer for Dark River Press and Seriously Reviewed.

Happy New Year! Hello, Robert, and everyone, and thank you for the opportunity to promote our works. My name is Laura Haley-McNeil. I am an indie author and recently published Prelude and Fugue, which is women's fiction. It is a free download at smashwords with the coupon code KT77Y: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view.... I also have a family friendly blog and would be delighted if anyone wants to contribute a guest post or submit to an interview. Right now I don't have time to post reviews but hopefully that will change in the near future. http://bookblogs.ning.com/profile/Lau...

Thank you for the invitation to join this group! I'm Ann (Ana) Morris, a bilingual children's author. I publish each story in English and Spanish, separately. I taught Spanish for years and am completely fluent in written and spoken variations of the language. My first pair of books were "Mommy and Mikel Go for a Walk"/"Mikel y mami dan un paseo", and my second pair is close to completion in publication, so be looking for "Surprise in Auntie's Garden!"/"¡Sorpresa en el jardín de la tía!" My stories have a positive adult role model, curious youth, and and educational component presented at children's level 5-9 ish, but senior citizens like them as well! The first pair is available and has 5-star ratings on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Google Books, Goodreads and AuthorHouse.com. My goals are education, child/adult bonding, cultural awareness, language awareness and opportunities for Spanish and English readers and learners to have material to read and enjoy. My stories originate from true experiences.

Glad to be here and Happy New Year to everyone! I write Fantasy and SciFi Adventure stories for teens and adults. Looking forward to a fantastic 2013!

Hi, my name is Allan and I'm glad to be part of this. My debut novel "THE BRIDGE" will be coming out shortly. I write a strange blend of paranormal-mystery with a touch of Sci-Fi. These are usually set in modern day or in 1700-1800's. My first novel will introduce the concept of parallel earths, but they will be unlike anything you've ever seen before (I hope). The entire series will be called "The Para-Earth Series".

I have a FB page, a Youtube channel for Vlogging, and 2 blogs. One is all about writing, and the second is about my novels in progress (including snippets, photos, and insights).

It is just in time for New Year's Resolutions!

"Reaching Your Goal Step-by-Step" is a complete and comprehensive weight loss system that is full of advice and motivation...not fluff and filler.

Hi, saw the invite in Book Summit and thought I would join in. GoodReads, at least for me, is very difficult to navigate.

Anyhow, my name is Kat Yares and you can find my books by doing a search here on the site. I write in a variety of genre's - with horror being my favorite.

I write fiction, usually with a social message. My novel Pegasus is an adventure/romance but has a message about cruelty to horses. My historical novel The Beautiful American is about my ancestor Elizabeth Kortright Monroe.

Thanks for the invitation! My name is Sydney Logan, and I recently released my first novel, Lessons Learned. It is a contemporary romance with a social message, set in a fictional town in the Appalachian Mountains. I am currently editing my second novel.

I love connecting with authors and readers!

I'm selling six romances, California Dream, Cartoon Hero, Act of Love, All work, No play, Heart On Ice, and Nobody But You, and I also have a romantic suspense trilogy that stars an acrobat, a Saudi prince, an ex-commando, and a vestal virgin from a cult, to name a few: Nights at the Cuzco, Nights in Captivity, and Nights on the Run.

Hi everyone and thanks for the invite.

I'm a writer of horror and dark fiction and have several published short stories. As I progress towards getting a novel from mind to fingertips to keyboard, I've been seriously weighing up the pros and cons of indie publishing, so by being part of this group I'm hoping to be able to make a decision one way or the other.

Look forward to chatting with you all. For more info about my writing check out: http://raymondgates.com

Hi, I'm Janet, and I'm the author of STONE LORD, which was published in Octobver. It's a retelling of the King Arthur legends but set in the British bronze age with Stonehenge as the Round Table.

Hello everyone. I am a full-time writer and make my living from writing SEO type articles. My real passion is short horror fiction which i hope will one day pay the bills.

My name is Robert Kintigh and I write personal development, business and mental toughness books. I love writing because I love to express myself and to help others. I have hardback and soft back books as well as kindle and Nook and eBook. My first book is called The Lies We Tell Ourselves and has been a very therapeutic and rewarding experience. My current project is called Employee Behavior Modification. Thank you for the welcome and I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you!

Aloha everyone, I have to admit I'm always a little stymied by the "why do you write question" simply because I can't remember a time when I didn't write. I've written everything from population profile studies, to travel industry PR and marketing materials, to a Hawaiian cookbook for a local nonprofit. I launched my award winning blog - IGG Tips, Tools and Tantalizing Ideas a little over 2 years ago, and I've written 4 books on the art of living life by design. My latest book is on the business of being an author. Nice to meet everyone!

Hi Everyone!

I'm Michelle Browne, and I write because I need to. Though I have a degree in counselling and originally thought that teaching or child psychiatry would be a great fit for me, my heart has always been in writing.
I'm now a published science fiction author with two novellas out:
A YA zap-gun science fiction novella: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0075G7GEA

Two dystopic short stories: http://www.amazon.com/The-Stolen-Shor...

and a third book that will be released this month. I also have a very active blog, where I stick the occasional review and interview, too:
http://scifimagpie.blogspot.ca/

It's a pleasure to meet all of you! Feel free to add me as a friend; I'm very social.
