[close] TOP SECRET

[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. Lots of great and varied topics.

[close] In a location known to very few, there is an enormous mansion grander than words can describe. With many floors and over a hundred rooms, any sane person would think it a paradise. Its gardens are seemingly endless, its furnishings worthy of a Palace. Anyone would surely do anything to live there, wouldn't they? Well, that depends. Although the rooms are exquisite, their doors are locked. Although the mansion is an architectural masterpiece, hardly anyone sees it. Only the family that inhabits it, a few trusted servants and several dear friends know its location. Because the mansion holds a secret. Behind each locked door, a woman is trapped. The mansion is owned by the Wrenninford family. For years, the men of the family have kept polygamous brides. The practice was started centuries ago by Frederick Wrenninford and still continues. But the Wrenninford men see their brides as unfit for the outside world. They know that many don't approve of their way and may try to turn their brides against them or corrupt them. They also know that a bride may try to escape. It was Frederick who first decided to conceal his brides, placing locks on their chamber doors, transforming his mansion into a gilded cage, but over the years more security measures have been put in place and modern technology has made the mansion almost inescapable. Some brides are gifted by friends who know the secret; some are bought, while others are abducted, snatched from the street or even from their homes. Some are treated more kindly than others, permitted to select their clothes and make alterations to the decor of their suite. Some brides view their life here as a privilege, but others see it as a prison sentence. The endless gardens mock them, giving them a taste of the open air without truly setting them free. The walls seem to be closing in and the ever-present scent of flowers is suffocating. If a girl finds herself here, she will be surrounded by opulence and waited on like a Princess. But will that be enough?

[close] Welcome to It's Personal: a collective gathering of souls, each equipped with their own thoughts, desires, fears, dreams, and secrets. It’s Personal is an outlet of sorts: a place to rant, rave, create, share, fill with gifs, quotes, poems, writing and things that are…well, for lack of a better term, personal. So have at it, create a thread and fill it with whatever. In this world, you might just find you have more in common with others than you thought.

And invite your friends. All readers welcome! I often have good intentions to read more classics. Over the past few years I have made a list to work through. These books were chosen as each appears on a variety of "Must Read To Be Well-Read" book lists.

The Guardian's The 100 greatest novels of all time: The list 3. Book Riot's From Zero to Well-Read in 100 Books 4. The 100 Favorite Books of Librarians @ Bookman.com So, I pledge to read three of these great books over the summer of 2017. I am going to post five titles to the challenge. Join me! Read and comment on the following books. Read Harder. Read one, read all. OR read something else from the lists and chat to us about it.

[close] "It reminded me of _____ but in space." "I read _____ in high school, and it was the only book I actually liked." "It's like a cross between _____ and _____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ _____?!?!!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This book club is for those of us for whom, if you're anything like me, one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on the classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to supplement our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it just sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose two books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us) 2) a "modern" classic or just a really popular book that is likely already on our to-read list but we haven't gotten around to it yet. Even if you've already read these books, re-readers are HIGHLY encouraged to help the rest of us amateurs navigate the best (or worst) of the best-sellers. Come one, come all!

[close] A place to connect writers with Beta readers. Sometimes writers get so involved in the plot they can't see the wood for the trees. Hang on a sec'--that's a cliche and it's better to remove it. A cliche is just one of the things to look out for while writing. They can slip in unnoticed and ruin an otherwise great paragraph. Then there's the passive voice, accents, misspelling, typos, incorrect data. The list is long. Avid Beta readers are not your editor or proof reader and don't expect them to do the grunt work. That's up to you. But they could have spotted a few fleas BEFORE you released the book and helped strengthen your story. Post Your genre. Get a group of 'well read' writers/readers to offer their feedback.

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.
