Indie Only Quest 2012 ~ I got your back

Making my rounds through the Indie community this year.

I have sworn my alliance to Indie authors for 2012. I, R.M. Gilmore will read, review, and support only Indie authors and their works.

I have chosen to read at least 15 Indie books this year. This is not a limitation or maximum number, only a guideline to keep me on track.

I will leave an honest review as an author. However, if I find that I cannot finish the book OR I feel I cannot give an honest 3 stars or more to a book I will NOT review it. I firmly believe in the old saying, "If you can't saying anything nice, don't say anything at all". I have two reasons for this 1.) The last thing a new "unknown" author needs is a "bad" review. 2.) Do unto others. If I wrote a horrible story I would appreciate someone tell me personally or privately and not scream it from the rooftop. A 1 or 2 star review is embarrassing and I refuse to do that to another human being.

That being said, if I find a plot discrepancy, numerous errors (We are all human and these things happen. I am the worst about editing so I know how that can go.), or simply HATE it for whatever reason I may leave a personal message as to why I won't be leaving a review. Who knows, an author may decide to make some changes and the second edition is unbelievably amazing.

My goal is to support others like me. I ask that these "others" choose to do the same. If we all band together, we can become more than just "Indies" or "Self-published", which lets face it doesn't come with the best stigma. I only hope that one day someone will do the same for me.

Indies, I got your back.

Cheers,
R.M.

OFFICIAL BOOK COVER ~ THE SCENE

In the final stages of editing. Publishing date is looming upon me, I am getting a wee bit nervous with the release of my first complete fiction novel.

I pray it is a hit and no one sues me for slander.

The official book cover has been finalized and is being released here along with the first chapter which you can find on Dylan Hart's Odyssey blog here ~ The Scene - Big Tease
Follow Dylan on facebook ~ Dylan Hart v-v {Official Page}

Have fun and be safe, there's vampires roaming the streets. v-v

I make no apologies

To those of you who will read my book:



Dylan Hart's The Scene may be offensive to some readers. It contains more than one reference to one or more groups that do not portray them in a positive light. If you don't like it...too fucking bad. I make no apologies.



Within it's pages is a plethora of profanity, drug use, alcohol consumption, smoking, and adult situations. If this offends you...too fucking bad. I make no apologies.



Dylan doesn't do romance. While she does encounter a few delectable creatures Dylan never gets laid. Sorry ladies you'll have to get your rocks off somewhere else. If this is a problem for you...too fucking bad. I make no apologies.



For those of you who enjoy the occasional alcoholic beverage, profuse profanity, recreational drug use, the use of tobacco as a calming agent, violent and sometimes gory situations I hope you enjoy yourself. If you find Dylan Hart's The Scene to be entertaining, enlightening, or downright wondrous I thank you. Pass it on, scream it from the roof tops, tell all of your friends.



But dammit no matter what you do make no apologies.

Popped My Cherry

This being my first blog I am a little uncomfortable, will it hurt?
I suppose I'm getting this started so I can share my trials and tribulations during my exalting venture into self-publishing and novel writing. That being said, I am nearly finished with my first book and am looking into marketing and publishing. When I say nearly finished I mean, I haven't even written the ending yet, but I have it all in my head. Too bad word vomit wasn't a reality, I'd have this shit finished and published by now.
If all goes well the new book should be out on Kindle and other ebook options by the end of January. In future posts I will give insights into the world of my characters, Dylan and Tatum. For now, cheers!
