The Indelibles say "Thank You" with a blogfest!

Hi everyone! Can you believe it's November already?  Nope, we can't either.  But we don't mind, because November gives another opportunity to give away awesome prizes! If you participated in our recent Get Your Spook on Bloghop, THANK YOU!

Before we introduce you to our next celebration, let's take a moment to shout Huzzah for our

Get Your Spook On Winners!

M.R. Buttars won the $50 gift card

and 

Denizb33, Gongjumonica, Suzy Turner and Donna K. Weaver won critiques!

Congratulations everyone ~ we'll be in touch!

And now that Halloween is behind us, it's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving.  I love the opportunity Thanksgiving gives me to reflect on the blessings I've received in the past year and to open my heart in an effort to find new ways to share.  One of things I am most thankful for is the journey I've begun as an Indie author.  It's been amazing.  So many people helped me find my way, and I have loved being able to help others just starting out in return.

That's why, in this spirit of thankfulness and giving,
the Indelibles bring you INDIE-giving!

This blogfest will run from November 18-25 (the Sunday-to-Sunday surrounding Thanksgiving).

During this week, each participating blogger will reflect on her or his blessings and share something with visitors.  Some may choose to give away a book.  Some may choose to share the best piece of advice they wished they'd known before they published.  The choice of what to share will be as unique as the individual blogger.  The only requirement is that you open your heart in the spirit of thankfulness and giving.

Although this is something we could do individually, banding together to share our blessings seemed like the right thing to do.  If you'd like to join us, add your name to the linky list and get your post ready for November 18th.  Whether you're an Indie author or just love reading Indie books, we hope you'll join us.  We can't wait to see what blessings have been bestowed upon you this year.

INDIEpendence Day Blog Fest Starts Today

It's time! The INDIEpendence Day Blog Fest celebration extravaganza has officially begun! This is your chance to meet some great new Indie authors (remember - you won't see any Indelibles on these lists since this a pay-it-forward event!) and maybe even win some prizes.  What could be better than that?

But before you go off hopping to the over-70 participating blogs, take a moment to read this super-fun riff on the famed Independence Day speech created by David Adams (with some minor tweaking to make it better fit our purposes).  :)

"Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour, bloggers from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest blog postings in the history of publishing. Publishing: that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be writing for our freedom. Not from 1-stars, rip-off books, or piracy, but from obscurity. We're fighting for our right to write, to exist, and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when Indie authors declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to write on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our INDIEpendence day!"

Now, go forth and meet some Indies! And, to our American friends, have a safe & happy 4th of July as we celebrate America and her heroes.
