Seasons come and go. As I move toward the next chapter in my life, I realize my priorities, and even the overall vision for my life, have shifted dramatically. I am finding that there are new projects and associations better suited to the growth I want to achieve and also accept that there are some places I simply no longer belong. <o:p></o:p></div>

Effective today, this blog, Reading Indie, will be an archive. It is available for the taking if anyone wants it. It also has a Facebook page that will become inactive. <o:p></o:p></div>

I, myself, am also walking away from the Authors-Professional Co-op. It is a wonderful group for new and veteran authors to find their place in the crazy world of publishing, and while I will continue to recommend it to authors seeking a community, it is no longer the venue I need. <o:p></o:p></div>

Wherever you are in the world, whether celebrating anything at this time or not, I truly wish you all the very best. Be blessed and be happy. <o:p></o:p></div>

A mortal detective discovers the true Underworld of Chicago when he tries to take down a vampire. Alongside the enigmatic Angelica Cross, Danny Mancini must take down paranormal threats to the city, but his own psychic powers are coming to the surface.
Undead exes, immortal witches, demons, and vampiric deities plague Chicago, while broken hearts and mistrust plague the hunters. Can Danny and Angelica compromise, or will the Paranormal Investigative Division of the FBI fall?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b><b>Let's see what kind of first impression she makes.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>First writing award or professional milestone.</u></div>
<div class="freebirdCommonAnalyticsTextResponse freebirdLightBackground">
It was for Vincent, my villain in my debut Stake-Out. Out of 200 entrants, he got third place for best villain of 2015 and it made me so proud because I love my baddies, always have, and it was great to see others loved Vincent, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>First character or topic that was difficult to write.</u></div>
<div class="freebirdCommonAnalyticsTextResponse freebirdLightBackground">
In book four, Right To Silence, my heroine gets kidnapped, assaulted, and tortured. After escaping, she gets PTSD and anxiety. Writing her first flashback was traumatizing for me, as I also suffer from severe anxiety that can be debilitating. I almost scrapped the scene, but am glad I didn't.</div>

<u>First chapter book you read by yourself.</u></div>
<div class="freebirdCommonAnalyticsTextResponse freebirdLightBackground">

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Would you doom yourself to darkness if it meant saving the one you love?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Ryver is the only telepath in living memory. Whether he wants to or not, he can hear the thoughts of everyone around him--their desires, their fears, and their darkest secrets. As a Vampire and Guardian of the Order, his skill is an asset. As a man, it's a burden he wishes he didn't have to carry. That is until he meets Ria. She's beautiful, shy...and human. More than that, she hears him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">A chance meeting brings them together, but the truth could rip them apart. Ria isn't what she seems. As her heritage is revealed, can they find the light? If they do, it will enrage an old enemy and threaten everything they hold dear. If they don't, one of them will be lost forever.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Would you surrender your soul for the love of the King?</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Lena, a vampire and a Guardian of the Order, has been honour-bound to protect human souls all her life. Acting first and thinking second is what's saved her skin time and again in the war against the Fallen, but her disregard for orders soon catches up with her when her boss is seriously injured. Forced to take responsibility for her actions, Lena is thrust into the path of her very own kryptonite; Thorn. The raw power of his soul calls to her and his mere presence lights a fire within her that she cannot contain. With Vampire magic waning and the race in crisis, can either of them afford to ignore Nature's call? If they do, the future of the race is in jeopardy. If they don't, they will both lose the most precious part of themselves. Their souls.</span><br />

A huge fan of the paranormal romance genre, Sharon Lipman started writing in her teens. It wasn't until she was in her thirties that she found a story she was desperate to share and House Blackwood was born. Her debut novel, Bound to Blackwood was published in 2015.<br />
She was born in west London and grew up in leafy Surrey in south-east England. A lover of all things British, except the weather, she now lives in a tiny mountain village in Almeria, southern Spain with her husband and an ever-growing collection of dogs.<br />

This blog is going through a transition of trial and error on its way to being an effective outlet for indie publishers, authors, and book blogers to promote themselves and spread the love of indie books. The current schedule of posts and submission forms will remain open to any who choose to take advantage of them and will be handled and promoted promptly, however, as the only current admin, I will not be actively seeking to promote others at this time.<br />
<br />
I am, however, interested and willing to open this blog up to a new schedule and format under the leadership of new and additional admins. I know of one person who is currently interested, but will not put this all on them at this time. If others choose to step up and take on this leadership role, I feel that this could be a truly creative and collaborative effort that could reach many. Please visit the APC page if you'd like to learn more about being a Reading Indie blog Admin.<br />

<u>A bit of house keeping now.</u><br />
The Blogger followers widget/gadget seems to be experiencing some issues. I may have to remove it.<br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;">Content Rating: G to PG-13</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span> <span style="color: black;"><u>Author's Inspiration:</u> The ToiBox of Words is my blog and the name of my future indie press. It represents the thoughts in my head, ‘my ToiBox,’ that eventually become the books I publish. My first book, Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel was inspired by a dream, but my overall inspiration is limitless. My day job, of teaching, inspired my children’s books. My love of the cinema inspired my romantic comedy, and life itself is always pushing me towards creativity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u>Authors Recommendation</u>: Because I write in multiple genres, I have more than one specific target audience. Overall, though, outside of my children’s books, I write adult fiction that is suitable for teens to read. Fans of the show Supernatural or the book Angelfall may enjoy the Eternal Curse Series. Fans of the show Friends or modern retellings of Jane Austen’s work may enjoy It’s Like the Full Moon. And fans of speculative fiction will enjoy my short stories. Since I love angels, I’m offering a paperback <a href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/0e47765333" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GIVEAWAY</a> you should check out; ends 10/24/2017. </span><br />

An Imperfect Enjoyment by <a href="https://asweetdisorder.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> M. J. Logue</a><br />
<br />
London, 1665<br />
Roundhead's twenty-year-old daughter, Thomazine Babbitt finally gets her fairytale romance - although her idea of a handsome prince is a little unconventional…<br />
He is the scarred, middle-aged and slightly-broken Admiralty intelligencer and diplomat Major Thankful Russell; her childhood hero. Russell, however, always considered himself more frog than ‘prince charming’…<br />
But as war with the Dutch looms and tensions run high in the streets of London, the passionate republican principles that saw Thomazine first fall in love with her rebel white-knight are suddenly suspicious.<br />
Would a man whose principles led him to once take up arms against his King, turn his coat again and work against His Majesty for the Dutch Republic? Someone wants to make it seem so.<br />
Accused of arson and murder, suspected of treason, dismissed from his post and shunned by polite society, Russell - with a disfigured man's horror of being conspicuous - favours returning to domestic obscurity, but Thomazine is determined to face down their accusers.<br />
In desperation, Thomaszine turns to the Merry Gang, the demimonde ring of fashionable libertines headed up by the cunning John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester.<br />
Plunged into a dark world of conspiracies, deceit, revenge and kidnap, Thomazine Babbitt will stop at nothing in her quest to claim back her hero’s innocence.<br />

Alienation by <a href="http://seandersonauthor.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> S.E. Anderson</a> Pre-order Now!<br />
<br />
Book 2 in the Starstruck series.<br />
<br />
Sally Webber’s dream is coming true: Zander is back and taking her out for a night on the town–on a planet hundreds of light years away from Earth.<br />
<br />
But when an accident separates her from her alien tour guide, she’s thrown into the seedy underbelly of an insane city where nothing is as it seems. Suddenly lost and desperate to get back home, Sally is willing to do anything to get out, even if it means accepting spontaneous marriage proposals, crashing some fancy parties, or joining what appears to be the space mob.<br />
<br />
All she wanted was some decent interstellar pizza, but now it might be the end of the world as evil nanobots and an out of control AI try to take the universe by force, and the only one who can stop them is missing in action. Sally has no choice but to try to stop them herself–if she can stay alive that long.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2112777957" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">5 of 5 stars</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I received a digital ARC of this book from the author because I’ve supported several of his Kickstarter campaigns and follow his creative business advice group and listen to his podcast from time to time. What can I say, I’m still having trouble getting into podcasts. In any case, I love this guy’s passion for his personal works and his indie press releases. I know I’ve learned so much from him already, so reading this book was a no brainer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Initial thoughts- this book was great. It wasn’t too long, but it was a hefty length because it covers a lot of information. I like that, before the book dives deep into the how-tos of the creative business, the author explains the necessity of passion. Passion is the one thing I think, anyone who encounters Russell Nohelty, notices about him. He loves what he does and frequently reiterates that that has to be the number one reason a person decides to create something, whatever it is. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then the book starts to dive into the how-to of business, but not just general stuff. Everything Nohelty discusses is directed specifically to creative people who want to make money with their creativity and break the stigma that all artists have to be starving. He speaks to the readers as if there’s a conversation happening. He’s quite frank and down to earth, but still concise and purposeful with his words. There are times when you can almost hear Russell yelling into the pages that yes, this is going to be hard, but it’s not impossible. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nohelty is also upfront and honest about what has and hasn’t worked for him while leaving it to the reader to decide what they want to try because he or she might have a completely different experience. There are certain aspects of the book that feel like life hacks. They are literal step-by-steps of what he did, so why not try it yourself. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I feel like a large part of the book, when reading in between the lines, is about gearing the reader up to break out of their comfort zone. There are things he mentions in this book that I’ve thought about doing but just didn’t think that was the way things were done. Now I know that they can be the way, there are just so many people who are too afraid to try them. He also mentions a few things I never would have thought of, which I now realize is a reflection of the lack of confidence I sometimes have in my own work. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don’t know that this is the greatest book ever written about the business of creativity, but it’s pretty darn good. I’d totally recommend it. Heck, that’s what I’m doing right now.
</div>

As of now, there isn't much happening here at Reading Indie, so put your calendars away. 😉The monthly giveaway is still going strong, but it's not a bookcrate every month. This month we're giving away a $10 Amazon gift card or PayPal cash. Today, I'm starting a new feature where I'll post reviews of indie books I've read at some point. Some of these will be recent reviews but some of them will be older. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We'd like to remind authors that all our promotions are open submission and are always free. We offer book spotlights, author interviews, and guest articles. All authors who promote with us are then added to our monthly social media schedule. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also have networking and promotional opportunities for other bloggers. You can list your blog on our page of recommended blogs and or join our Blogger Ambush Blitz. We also add participating bloggers to our social media schedule. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For authors and bloggers, we also promote your events and giveaways whenever you let us know about them... And now, it's time for an indie book review.</div>

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1733329651">4 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
This isn’t my usual type of story to read, but I’m glad I gave this a try. I’m not a fan of most military dramas, but this is a story worth experiencing. It is pretty much what the blurb says it is. While I do wish the struggle of the people in the Blackout Zone would have been explored more in depth, there isn’t much missing here. As alternative realities go, this is one of the most believable I’ve encountered in a long time. <br />
<br />
I recommend this to mature teen or adult audiences who enjoy dystopia and or military drama.<br />

The Pharaoh's Destiny (Pharaoh Queens 1) by <a href="https://metamorphpublishing.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Markie Madden </a><br />
<br />
The year is 1477 B.C.E. and history is about to change… <br />
<br />
Hatshepsut, the Great King’s Wife, is thrust into a world of intrigue and politics when her husband, Pharaoh Thutmose, dies suddenly, leaving Egypt with an heir who is barely two years old. The Queen must step into the role of leader, and there are few whom she can trust. <br />
<br />
When Hatshepsut is crowned as Pharaoh, she grooms her daughter, Neferure, to take the place of heir, rather than Thutmose’s infant son from another woman. Neferure, though young, is still older than the boy who should by all rights be king. <br />
<br />
The future of Egypt rests in the hands of a single woman, the most powerful woman in the ancient world. Can Pharaoh Hatshepsut’s people accept her unorthodox reign, and her plans to usurp the men’s place as rulers of a Kingdom, decreeing that only women are suitable leaders? <br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Content Rating: NC-17 for steamy romance</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;"><u>Author's Inspiration:</u> I've always had a love for ancient Egypt and her people. The historical figure who is the main character was the first female Pharaoh in history. After her reign, someone tried to erase her from history. Fortunately, they were not successful. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u>Authors Recommendation</u>: Anyone who loves historical romance or ancient Egypt. </span><br />

Paths Not Taken (A Hidden Beauty Novel Book 8) by <a href="http://marycrawfordauthor.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Mary Crawford </a><br />
<br />
Jordan Shepherd has regrets. Big ones. When she makes a seemingly rash decision which potentially costs her everything, she must come face-to-face with her family and start rebuilding her life. <br />
<br />
Cristiano Romero knows a little bit about starting over after a catastrophe. He is trying to make it as an on-air talent covering the X Games, yet he still has the heart of a competitor. When he crosses paths with Jordan, he finds himself wanting to compete in a whole new game. <br />
<br />
Can Jordan and Cristiano come to grips with the paths not taken and begin a life together? <br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;"><u>Author Mary Crawford</u> I have been lucky enough to live my own version of a romance novel. I married the guy who kissed me at summer camp. He told me on the night we met that he was going to marry me and be the father of my children. Eventually I stopped giggling when he said it, and we just celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. We have two children. The oldest is in medical school, where he recently found and married the love of his life, and the youngest is now tackling middle school. <br />

I write full time now. I have published over a dozen books and have several more underway. I volunteer my time to a variety of causes. I have worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. I spent several years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.

Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter by <a href="http://cverstraete.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> C.A. Verstraete </a><br />
<br />
Every family has its secrets… <br />
<br />
One hot August morning in 1892, Lizzie Borden picked up an axe and murdered her father and stepmother. Newspapers claim she did it for the oldest of reasons: family conflicts, jealousy and greed. But what if her parents were already dead? What if Lizzie slaughtered them because they’d become zombies? <br />
<br />
Thrust into a horrific world where the walking dead are part of a shocking conspiracy to infect not only Fall River, Massachusetts, but also the world beyond, Lizzie battles to protect her sister, Emma, and her hometown from nightmarish ghouls and the evil forces controlling them. <br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Content Rating: PG-13</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;"><u>Author's Inspiration:</u> The Borden murders were always fascinating as to this day, you still wonder, did she or didn't she? One look at the autopsy reports and photos, and I knew there was a "different" solution to the crime as to why she did it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u>Authors Recommendation</u>: The book appeals to different readers - those interested in history (it's based on the real-life trial and events, and includes trial excerpts); those interested in alternate history; horror and zombie lovers. Plus, it has a little romance and a mystery. </span><br />

Let's celebrate authors at #ReadingIndie with a #giveaway.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There’s a lot going on in the world of publishing, but that’s not what this celebration is about. International Authors Day is about celebrating the people who create, write, and develop the case studies, the worlds, the characters, and the tales that we all love. Whether a book becomes a best seller or remain obscure throughout the ages, if someone loves it, then the person who wrote it deserves praise. On my blog, The ToiBox of Words, I have a saying I often quote because I truly believe it; “I believe authors are just as important to the world of entertainment as music groups and movie stars.” So, yay authors. Thank you for eons of entertainment. </span></div>

Descent (The Birthrite, #1) by <a href="http://tiffanyapan.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Tiffany Apan </a><br />
<br />
Visions of infant twin boys, clouds, a young woman taking her own life, and a collision of space, time, and realms...<br />
<br />
On the eve of Summer Solstice in 1844, four men in different areas of the world share an experience that impacts not only their own lives, but those of the future generations. The first man is Nicolae Ganoush, a young Romany fugitive from a slave village in Wallachia. The second is Jonathan Blake, an eighteen-year-old Irishman in the American Midwest who finds himself falling in love with a young woman from a nearby Sioux village. The third is James Livingston, a prominent figure in colonial America, and the fourth is Hector de Fuentes, a sixteen-year-old from Tuxpan, Mexico with special gifts and visions enhanced by a mysterious and wondrous cave. Each man carries his own inner battle, unbelievable ancient truths deep within their lineages, and demons that are much closer to home than any of them would like.<br />
<br />
Later in 1931, seventeen-year-old Dorothy Blake, a descendant of Jonathan and his Sioux wife, is living in Plains, New York, the town founded by James Livingston. The notorious Fleming Orphanage has long fallen into disuse but kept by the town as a landmark. The buildings loom high on a hill, overlooking the town, taunting the townsfolk with its lore. On Halloween night, Dorothy ventures up with friends, and the group of six expects nothing more than a good time along with a few laughs. But they fall into a dark, brutal evil; one that extends beyond the orphanage and town of Plains, far back into history. Their descent is only the beginning…<br />
<br />
The Birthrite Series is an epic journey into the vast unknown, plunging deep into the dark crevices of the mind, begging the question of what sanity really is and if the insane truly are. Are we really shown the whole truth of what surrounds us or is it an illusion? It also tells of deep-rooted love, planted centuries ago and a story of family, forgiveness, and redemption.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Content Rating: R</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;"><u>Author's Inspiration:</u> A few years ago, I had a dream that I was talking to a person who would later end up being a main character in the series. I can't recall the conversation, but the person's presence stayed with me enough to start writing stories around him.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u>Authors Recommendation</u>: Ideal for</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">readers that want to escape into a good Dark Fantasy /Supernatural-Historical with Romance, Mythology, Hidden History, and Lore.</span><br />

FBI Special Agent Alex Bailey takes on a new partner, Katherine Mitchel… and a new secret mission. Katherine uncovers damning evidence against a major crime ring known as The Syndicate. The group controls key members of the D.C. Metropolitan Area Police, the U.S. Congress, even the FBI, and they will stop at nothing to protect their interests. With her life on the line, Katherine is forced to put her faith in Alex as she flees from Washington D.C. and enters the Witness Protection Program. In the most dangerous investigation of his career, Alex must decide how far he is willing to go to keep Katherine safe, and to stop The Syndicate.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>Let's see what kind of first impression she makes.</b><br />
<b><br /></b> <u>First time you typed “the end” or finished a book.</u><br />
The first time I finished a book was in 2015. The book, Red on the Run, is the first book in my Syndicate-born Trilogy and it was awarded the Pinnacle Book Achievment Award in the Thriller category in 2016. Finishing this book was very emotional for me. It's my favorite because it's my first.<br />
<br />
<u>First writing award or professional milestone.</u><br />
My first award was the Pinnacle Book Achievment award, but the milestone that meant the most to me was making the USA Today Bestseller list this year.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>First fan interaction or positive review.</u><br />
