[close] Linda Howard is an award-winning author of over 50 romantic suspense novels, her books have heart pounding romances, comedic repartee, and thought-provoking suspense.

[close] Action packed gripping, exciting and tense thrillers, mysteries, that's what we like reading. So many great authors out there to read. Let's share our thoughts and opinions. Let's recommend to each other the best books, have some fun and be friendly.

[close] We live at the turn of the millennium, at fateful times. The life, business, world - all change rapidly in almost kaleidoscopic pace. Paper photos and books are out, digital ones are in. Real stuff is sometimes superseded by the virtual one. High-tech is on the rise, while traditional industry is on retreat, some - redundant. Shipyards, metal works, even space exploration don't look that sexy anymore, when compared to social networks, chats, apps and similar stuff. Businesses and economics change, some argue for the better, but can be for the worse, as evidenced by waves of popular unrest and economic/social justice protests throughout the world. How ideal are our societies or maybe a thing or two or three require an adjustment? I'm sure many have opinions on these things, which we can exchange here. The planet is still unable to overcome the results of the worst global financial crisis. Yet, the Forbes billionaire's list is growing and alongside the moguls from the traditional capitalist countries, it now boasts a great deal of previously unknown Russian, Chinese and other mega-rich from different parts of the global village. Who are these people, who control global economy? We'll have a closer look at some of them. And writers' world is also experiencing a pivotal change of 'indie' revolution. It's a little hard to write for the money these days, because the writers' list is not as exclusive as Forbes and have by now probably millions of entries. And very few writers come close to Forbes -:) So many write in the hope to make some impact, to leave a legacy. Here is the perfect place to present your agenda and goals. We shall discuss the writing biz and art, how to fare well while writing (and it's not a trivial thing) and to enjoy these turbulent, but possibly exciting times. Ah, and lastly - it should be fun! You don't have to be awfully serious dudes to come join and share thoughts. And we currently discuss establishing our own literary award, so hurry up to jump on the bandwagon -:)

[close] A group dedicated to important, rare, exemplary depictions of women protagonists in works by both men and women but with an emphasis on the latter. This includes everything from Aphra Behn to Alice Walker. Not necessarily Western-exclusive but there is a focus on womanhood of all types in Europe and America from the 1600s-early 1900s, though as always that is flexible and in no way an actual limit!

[close] This group is for anyone who stays up late or just can't sleep! 1.) be respectful....not everyone has had coffee yet. 2.) try not to cuss too much (I know it's hard for some since they are irritable from lack of sleep but....) 3.) try not to be annoying ;) but some can't help it so that actually isn't a rule..... 4.) have fun.... (but not too much, you still need to go to sleep ;) ) 5.) Be yourself 6.) Personalities ARE ALLOWED, but try not to bring the SUPER annoying ones....I can name some.... ;D 7.)

Since then it has turned into a great resource of helpful tips, marketing resources, and just overall support for all indie authors. You're welcome to join our group as long as you contribute and are encouraging in your comments. Please note, in order to fully enjoy our group and make it the best Self Publishing Resource that it can be, we ask that you give as much as you take. If you want your books to be read, read other Indie Author books. If you want help, give help in return. This is how Support for Indie Authors can be the Ultimate Self Publishing Resource and Indie Author Support Group. Please take a moment to read through our Read Me Topics under each Folder Category in order to get a better grasp of our guidelines and where you should you post your questions/comments/etc. Thank you all and Welcome to Support for Indie Authors! Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by visiting http://www.supportindieauthors.com/subscribe/ Sincerely, Ann Livi Andrews *Riley stole this from GG because everyone asks this question.* Bookwhack: Think about bookwhack as bird droppings. Everyone is having a picnic. The sun is shining. The food is good. The conversation is flowing. Then, suddenly a bird flies down and leaves a dropping, ruining the day for everyone. Bookwhacking is doing the same with your book. Going into threads and dropping your book name or cover or blurb without being invited to do so. You fly over, drop the bomb. and leave. Sometimes you stay to add a short comment but the sole purpose of it is to make people think you actually had something to say. In other words, it's finding any reason to push your book in the face of people who were not expecting it.
