Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie discussion

Next on my list is Where There's A Will by Alex Carver. I am currently reading Mirth Defects by Clint Forgy. As soon as I am caught up, I plan to read you all, one at a time. I'm always on the lookout for wonderful new authors to follow!

I'm planning to read Modified once I get off my current writing jag and go back to book-eating.

Thank you, Julie. I hope it doesn't damage your psyche too much. :)

That looks like an interesting book! Adding it to my list! Thank you :)

I want to tell you how good you are, but you probably already know :)

Julie wrote: "I want to tell you how good you are, but you probably already know :) "

:) I keep hearing that but it's truly humbling and it floors me every time. Carole P. Roman's review said "Forgy is a wonderful writer" and I still look around this empty room to see which one of my relatives is writing books!
But I do kinda like it. :) I'll let you pat me on the head when you're ready. It'll embarrass me a little bit but I'll get over it.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant!!

I know what you mean, Clint. Praise from objective strangers floors me. I had a recent review which said "Ms. Lynch can write" and it was the best praise I ever had. I think those are the very words we all need to hear.

Trust me, Clint, I feel the same way. Whenever I get a review or praise from a reader (not related to me in any way, shape or form), I'm floored.

Best part is that it never gets old. At the end of the day, I'm a storyteller and I write for the reader's enjoyment. :)

I'm currently reading Guarding Sierra by Aislinn Kearns.

Just started Christine Roney Beyond Stone

Starting "Witches Protection Program" by Michael Phillip Cash

Aww. Michael will be glad to hear that. Let me know when you get to the frogs.

Lol, will do. Loving it so far!

Thanks!

Finished Beyond Stone https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... was like a trip into the Twilight Zone.

Now starting Safety Goose by Yvonne Jones.

Carole, I love your review! Thank you for reading and reviewing my book.

My pleasure! It reminded me a lot of my son's book, The History Major. You should check it out. Different stories but the same eerie feel.

I read Obsessed by Alex R. Carver. Very good read. I highly recommend this book to any fan of mystery or short stories!

I also just read If You Were Me and Lived in...China: A Child's Introduction to Culture Around the World by Carole P. Roman. Fantastic interactive way to introduce children to the history, architecture, language, foods, and culture of China. I enjoyed it as much as my kids and can't wait to read more of these books. One of my new favorite educational children's series!

Thanks Erica!! You made my day!

I'm reading Baqash by CE Wilson but will be reading Obsessed by Alex Carver as soon as I'm done. As I've heard positive things about it, and it's in my genre for writing, I'm definitely looking forward to it. And since I don't get a lot of time to read it's a bonus to be a short one.

Don't thank me yet, Alex. One of the last books I read took me a month and I'm only 13% done with the one I'm currently reading, so it could be awhile. :) But I will get to it.

I've got to pick up a few new titles still, but I have already read and enjoyed books by authors in this group. Shiva XIV by Lyra Shanti, Davenport House by Marie Silk and An Enlightening Quiche by Eva Pasco. Enjoyed them all and recommend them! Check out my reviews here on Goodreads when you get a chance.

I am about to read Obsessed by Alex R. Carver

Just posted my review of Carol and Julie's excellent book Navigating Indieworld: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Publishing and Marketing Your Book

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thanks for the lovely review, Jennifer!!

I just picked up Navigating Indieworld: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Publishing and Marketing Your Book. I hope to get to it between revision edits on my Spanish translation for my first book. :D

Thanks for getting it. Let us know if you enjoy it!

Navigating Indieworld is filled with info about the entire self-pub process. I liked that it also discussed reaching bloggers and creating an audio book, both of which I knew nothing about.

I would definitely recommend Where There's a Will by Alex Carver. Although that's never been a genre I've read much, I thought the characters were fleshed out I couldn't put it down.

C.L. Lynch's book Chemistry is absolutely hilarious.

Just picked up a copy of Shiva XIV by Lyra Shanti and Station Alpha by Aislinn Kearns.

This thread was such a great idea!

D'aw, thanks!

This is lovely!

Will definitely be doing ! I have read Lyra Shanti's book The Rainbow Serpent which was fabulous.

This past weekend, Creatura and Station Alpha, Professor Peanuts. Reviews are up.

Once you start it's like eating potato chips, you can't stop!!!!

I just read Soldiering On by Aislinn Kearns and have posted reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. An enjoyable story with an interesting premise!

Thank you so much for the kind words about Shiva XIV, Jennifer, and about a Rainbow Serpent, Laura!
Hope you enjoy Shiva XIV, C.C!

My reading list right now is ridiculously huge, and I work FT unfortunately, but I love reading indie books. I will try to get to everyone's eventually!

I read Kay MacLeod's Heirs of Power - great start to a promising fantasy series!

Oh my goodness, people have been reading my books and I didn't even know this thread existed. Thank you so much to Christine, Carole, and Margaret. You guys rock!!! I really appreciate the lovely reviews.

I've read Alex Carver's Obsessed, and will hunt through some other books to read this month. Thanks again!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I really appreciate all your encouragement Cecily :)

Recently finished two good books - Station Alpha by Aislinn Kearns and Shiva XIV by Lyra Shanti.

If you're into YA, would definitely recommend Awoken by Sarah Noffke.

Just picked up a copy of Davenport House by Marie Silk and Witches Protection Program by Michael Phillip Cash.

Thanks CC. Hope you enjoy my son's book. ;) I have Shiva in my tbr pile. Station Alpha was an exciting read, and Sarah Noffke'a Awoken is the beginning of a thrilling series. Marie Silk's Davenport was a great read too.

I have the first two books of Ember Raine Winters Born series in my tbr pile, I'm looking forward to getting into them!

Yay! Am I allowed to say I love Pokergeist? Seduction of Granny I read when I was in Vegas last month. I couldn't put it down. I was on vacation in Vegas and sitting in my room reading. I love Vegas, but I enjoyed Clint's book more. lol

I don't feel the crowds there. Vegas is one place I feel very much alone. ( but in a good way) We have been vacationing there for almost forty years and and watched the city grow. Each one of us loves in in a very singular way, even the grandkids.

I just finished by David Duane Kummer. I highly recommend it! David is a prodigy!

I agree, Crystal Dawn. To be so young, David is a talented writer. I can only imagine what wonderful stories will come out of him years from now. I have his new book on my Kindle ready to read. And his work is clean, I like that.

I've got three "If you were me and lived in...", I enjoyed them. Wish I had them when I was home-schooling my kids.

Now, I'm going to try some other members.

Thanks Groovy!

This week I've read/am reading:

A Body Resurrected - Groovy Lee
Crashing into me - R.L. Jackson
The Lover's Potrait - Jennifer Alderson
Judge by the Cover - Melissa Abigail

Yeah, I went a but overboard with Amazon's 1-click buy feature this month lol.

I just read/reviewed Ember Raine Winters's Beautiful Delusions - which was spectacular! I kept reading during my breaks at work and I admit, was a little late getting back on task all week! I was a part of the release day launch party on Facebook for this great title, and it was a lot of fun, so many thanks to Ember for including me!
