Random Musings

First, My wife (not legally) and I are finally making our marriage of the heart into paper format. I am not belittling the formality of getting the marriage license and proclaiming legally that you love one another but I feel that most people miss the point. Two people that love each other and are married in their heart will not and shall not be held any less married as two people who have stood in front of a judge, magistrate or any other qualified person and signed a paper to proclaim said marriage. Please do not get me wrong, I want the paper and I also know that my wife wants the same and on 07/03/2011 we shall get that paper but does it make us any more married than we are now. I say no.

Second, I have been reviewing books on this blog for just about five months now and I was wondering if I am making a difference in the exposure of the authors I review or interview. I can only hope that this exposure (if any) is translating into sales. Helping the Indie Author is what I strive for in this blog and I can only hope that I am helping make a difference in the views of the public about "Indie Authors".

Third, this blog is available on the Amazon Kindle US and Kindle UK, although I doubt anyone wants to pay for what they get for free but I do see that I (a reviewer) am lacking in reviews. So, therefore I am asking all readers to follow the links above and download this blog for the free 14 day trial. Also I am asking that each reader please leave a review, good or bad as I will gladly accept both, because how can one better their project if they do not get criticism.

Lastly, I have set a goal of 500 followers by the end of June. In order to do so I would like to give away a free book to any follower to this blog. So I will ask any author that would like to participate and help get the word out on this blog, please feel free to email me a coupon that I can post on this blog that will allow any reader to download your book for free. The only requirements are that the reader become a follower, review the book they got for free and post the review on a blog or Amazon or Smashwords. Authors if you wish to participate please email arobbins78 at gmail dot com with the link to your book and the coupon code to get the book free.

Thanks for listening to my musings and if you feel that I add something useful to the blogosphere feel free to show link love by posting the link to my blog everywhere you can and emailing everyone you know. :)

Books that have been donated for the cause: (these are provided with the trust that the reader will download the book, post a review when finished and become a follower of this blog.
