J. Daniel’s comments from the SIA Showcase for Readers and Writers group.

Welcome to the group, Alex.

I always look forward to Wednesday

I’ve lived in AL my entire life and been to Jasper many times, but have not heard that before. However, a quick Google search looks like you may be right!

Welcome to the group!

Welcome, K.L.! That's a nice looking website.

Welcome! You'll find plenty of friendly and helpful authors here, and you can find even more help on our other board: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Bravo on the introduction. Well done and welcome!

Evelyn - I think the confusion lies in the difference between a folder and a thread. The instructions are a THREAD in the FOLDER you are being asked to post your own THREAD into.

This link should take you to the folder where you can start your thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Ah, so you were the one! Thanks!

Ditto

Not only did I see it, I had a book! It was an oversized, but thin hardback that told the basic story with pictures from the movie - kind of like a children's book.

Thanks, VM - I’m really happy with it, and I think there are some badass characters inside.

Dwayne - I wonder if it’s too late to add a subtitle...

Oh stop. You’re embarrassing me!

Can’t ... look .... away

I’ll post final results on the book promo thread tomorrow

Thank you both!

Wanted to let everyone know that my new book is out now. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/First-Dragonsl...

And the first book is free today - so there's still some time to grab it if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Spell-Fade-Spe...

Yay! I hope you enjoy the book!

Indeed I do, and thank you for mentioning it!
Dwayne, if you have any of that $10 left, Christina has a new one coming out on the 10th.

It looks like Vonnegut was fond of candy bars, and in particular, Three Musketeers (which pops up a few times in Slaughterhouse Five). My wife also likes them, so I have a few spares on hand and gladly leave one for you.

You might have my books already, so I would recommend Cosmogonic Marbles by Steve Downes. It's a quirky, funny, fantasy you might enjoy.

Thanks, Christina! I was hoping it would be just that easy. Now I just have to come up with a title for my series I suppose.

Breaking the silence for two announcements and a call for any comments you guys might have.

First - Shackles of Sunlight will soon be getting a new cover (ebook and print) and blurb to try and get more people to give it a look. It's with Createspace for print and KDP for ebook. Anyone have anything I should be aware of, or experiences you'd like to share with the process of changing a cover?

Second - Spell Fade is getting a sequel. I recently finished the draft and am working on editing now. I did not plan on there being a sequel when I wrote it, so there's no indication it's part of a series. Anyone gone back and updated a previous book to show it's part of a series before? Just looking for any potential problems or snags I should be aware of by changing the description of the first book.

Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks!
