What is a book to its author? It’s early mornings hammering out pages, when you’d rather still be asleep like normal people. It’s nights spent tossing and turning because you want to perfect that scene or some dialogue. It’s being stalked by the image of a blank page.

What is a book to its author? It’s missed soccer games and ducking out of family events early to get home and write. It’s having an amazing idea in the middle of the day job and praying you don’t lose the inspiration before you arrive home that evening.

What is a book to its author? It’s love and hate, sweat and tears. It’s a dream, a vision manifest in the music of words. It’s your heart and your mind and your soul spread out for all the world to see.

What is a book to its author? It’s a hope that when the work is done the readers will come. It’s daring connection when keeping your ideas to yourself would be simpler. it’s the ultimate act of sharing.

Authors weave the stories of our lives. They create cherished memories and moments of insight. How many other people in your life pour themselves out for you like that?

Ways to support Indie authors.

• Buy directly from the author. Support Indie authors not corporations. Cut out the middle man (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). They leave the author with little for his or her work.
• Give feedback. Authors thrive on reader feedback. Write reviews – positive or negative – about your experience with the book.
• Participate. If you enjoy an author’s work, spread the word, like his or her fan page, and participate. Indie authors have limited budgets. They thrive or wilt on word of mouth.
