Hi Andres, You mentioned the Grand Canyon Author Club. Can you tell me more about that?
Andres A. Rodriguez
Absolutely,
After writing my first book I had no idea what to do next. Of course I could always pay a company to tell me but that's not what I wanted. I started to search for local groups here on Goodreads and found that every local group was inactive, however the members were still active. I thought we could all use a place to go when we wanted support so I started creating the GCAC. Unlike the AzAA, this would be free, a community of authors, readers, illustrators all lending advice and hopefully meeting up at local events. So much talent located here in AZ that I never knew of, hopefully we can create a network that might benefit everyone in some way.

Hey I had a whole load of threatening emails following me contributing to the 'Authors beware' thread. I've deleted my posts and reported everything to Goodreads - please contact me if you need a copy of the emails - very nasty. I wanted to delete my whole profile tbh but could not see how. I'll let you know what happens but there's a whole lot of abuse and scamming going on. Did you report it too?
