Hi Eric, Sharlene, and group members. Just letting everyone know that the NZ Author Member's thread was continuing to get interest from authors by way of my being asked to add their books to the list and for the draw.
Having requested that a decision to whether this thread would continue, and to modify it accordingly, the thread remained as it was. So, I have made the decision to archive the thread. Sometime in the future the current moderators can restore/amend it if they wish.
I have also suggested to the authors that have contacted me that they use the Author Corner thread to promote their books. As a reader and group member I don't see a problem with authors advising of their latest published book and giving information on any purchase promotions etc. It is now their only means of promotion, so please be tolerant if not supportive. If an author got too pushy, I'm sure members would quickly voice their disapproval to curb that behaviour.
