I love this indie community. It's not very often you find people who genuinely care to help you achieve your dream, people who encourage and promote each other. This indie community that I have been accepted into so lovingly is absolutely amazing.
When I started this venture, I was kind of lost, I had no real direction, I knew what I wanted to do but had no idea how to go about it, that's when I met Chris Philbrook, author of the "Adrians Undead Diary" series, as well as many others. Chris took me under his wing, and like Obi-Wan Kenobi showing Luke the ways of the force, He guided me, oh so patiently, through the ins and outs of self-publishing.
Through our relationship, I came to meet so many more incredibly inspiring indie authors like Richard Ryan Rose, author of the "Wild Eyed Southern Boyz", an amazing series. Jeff Thomson, author of the "Epic Mayhem" series, may he rest in peace. Kristen Vincent, a talented creator of dark poetry, Bobbie Jean Murphy, author of "Into The Darkness", Jenn Amato, writer of "The Group" series, and Angel Ramon author of "Pina Coladas And Rats". I also got to meet other aspiring authors like Jack Childress and Dungeon Dan Uebel.
We inspire each other to be better at our craft and lift each other up as often as possible, promoting, encouraging and razzing each other to no end. Together I believe we have built quite a circle of encouragement and I am so blessed to be a part of it. To all those mentioned and those I did not, much love, stay focused and WRITE!

Proud to have met you, keep on keeping on!
