Supporting Indie Authors

Without the powerful marketing machine of those BIG publishers behind us, what do indie authors need most? Exposure. The more readers who discover our work, the better. Word of mouth and multi-author promotions are great, but sometimes we need that little extra push. So this year, I'll be doing my part each month, sharing books by folks who write in some of the same genres I do.

First up, we have Dark Secrets: A Dark Blade Prequel Novella by Tyrean Martinson, author of fantasy & faith adventures. In the kingdom of Septily, ancient magic and political intrigue collide as four young lives are thrust into a world of danger and destiny. When a sinister plot threatens to ensnare them all, these unlikely allies must navigate treacherous waters. The Red Hand, a shadowy organization of merchants, mercenaries, and sorceresses, weaves a web of corruption that reaches the highest echelons of power. With the fate of the kingdom hanging in the balance, each must decide where their loyalties lie and what they're willing to sacrifice for the greater good.

Next is The Rise of Manifesto the Great, a sci-fi comedy by Kerrie A. Noor. Manifesto the Great comes from a dynasty of leaders who treat women like breeding machines. When his father dies, he must take over as leader, but will he rise over the tidal wave of discontented women and claim his throne or drown under a sea of estrogen? If you crave a roller coaster ride of laughter and fast-paced satire, then check this one out.

Our third book is The Fungo Society, a humorous murder mystery by Jeff Stanger. A dead ballplayer. A missing antique. And nobody wants the cops. They want Quick. Jonathan Quick is a savant when it comes to sports relics and a complete failure in relationships. He has a moral code when it comes to antiques and a complete lack of one for anything else. Quick takes a call from a mysterious group of old ballplayers named the Fungo Society. They’re convinced that one of their own has been murdered and don’t believe the police who have ruled it a suicide.

Next up is Desert Runner, a LitRPG with a kick-arse heroine by Dawn Chapman. Plagued by old injuries that won't heal, Maddie is enticed into accepting a deadly escort mission. Puatera Online is a harsh world, even for the people who have to live there. Good thing Maddie is tougher than cured leather, because she may have just bitten off more than she can chew.
