Celebrating Independent Authors
My son Garrett has his own blog called, “I am the Man Letters,” from which he posts letters to me. This holiday season, he makes a special holiday movie recommendation. In case you find yourself in dire need of watching something that conveys the true spirit of Christmas without all the sappiness, go check this out, and give Garrett the present of leaving a comment. Happy holidays, everyone.

You may know by now that my partner in crime here at Indies Unlimited is K.S. “Kat” Brooks. Not only is she an award-winning author, but she’s also a highly decorated photographer. Way back in 1996 (did they even have cameras back then?) her photographic works began to receive much attention by winning multiple international awards from Kodak, and being featured in numerous one-man art shows at galleries in the Boston area. Her stuff has been featured in books, magazines, and even in the Boston Globe.
Since I am the Evil Mastermind in charge here, I’ve decided it would be a good idea to fully exploit all the talents of my minions. Of course, I made it seem like it was Kat’s idea. I’m tricky that way.
All kidding aside for a moment, Kat and I do a lot of brainstorming to come up with new and innovative ways to help indie authors spread their names and brand beyond their existing social network capacity.
We have come up with an idea which brings back the writing exercises – but with a special twist. Beginning Saturday, Dec. 31st 2011, we will post a weekly photo-prompt writing exercise/contest. Here’s how it will work: Continue reading “Writing Exercises Return with a Twist!”
In my first post on this blog, I said I would be adding co-bloggers when I had saved up enough money for more duct tape and chloroform. Santa works in mysterious ways.
I am very pleased to announce that my good friend and very accomplished author K.S. Brooks will be joining me here on Indies Unlimited as a co-blogger.
Kat is a seasoned veteran author who can speak to traditional, indie small house and self publishing scenarios, as well as marketing and other facets of being an independent author. She is smart, funny, witty, wise and accomplished. All that and a bag of chips.
I am very happy to have the gravitas Kat will bring to offset my uh—let’s just say “different” style. Shut up.
Indies Unlimited will now be better positioned to bring you news and views from around the world of publishing. Look for some changes to the site as we add more features and content.
I wanted you to be the first to hear the great news. I will go down and break the news to Kat when the chloroform wears off.
Welcome to Indies Unlimited, Kat!
I launched Indies Unlimited in October, and have done my best to bring high-quality infotainment to millions of people (as far as you know) from all corners of the globe. Everybody knows you just can’t get this kind of weapons-grade blogging on any street corner, and I’m sure you guys and gals are all wondering what to do to repay old Uncle Steve during this season of giving. That’s the kind of fantasy world I live in. Continue reading “The Indies Unlimited Holiday Bleg”
