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.

Publishing and Promoting

I knew from the start this wasn't going to be easy. I knew I would be doing all the grunt work when it came to getting my first book out there in the world.

So far, it is a pain in my ass! I am tired and my back hurts. I have no money to spend on promoting myself so I am trying to do every FREE thing I can think of. At times I feel like a book whore slinging my wares about town.

Book reviews are almost impossible for indie authors. Most review blogs won't even take a look at your work if it wasn't graced with a the seal of approval from some publishing shark. I actually like being independent. I don't have to answer to anyone. I can keep and toss only what I want to. I create my own timeline, cover, and character plots. It's great!

Now if I can only magically show readers the path to my novels I will be set. When that will ever happen, I don't know. But for now, I'll just keep on keepin on!

End of rant.

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.

Three Damn Chapters To Go

The story is careening out of control toward the final scenes. Bodies are adding up and scent of death is in the air like soiled socks. Dylan has been thrust into the scene of underground blood bars and vampires in search of the cause of the deaths of hookers in her hometown.

The last of the chapters are set to be completed within the next week followed by post proofing and such. The Scene A Dylan Hart Odyssey of the Occult will be available on Kindle and other ebook readers February 2012.

Follow my posts for further insights and future publications in the Dylan Hart Odyssey of the Occult series.

Released February 2012

Nicolas Cage is the king of falsies

I'm a vampire, I'm a real vampire.

"Vampires Kiss" 1988



Starring in one of my favorite vampire(?) movies of all time, Cage plays Peter Loew, publicist and aspiring vampire. After succumbing to the wiles of a vampire(?) and a series of bloodletting sessions Peter begins to believe himself a vampire(?). Avoiding the sun, eating cockroaches, and even donning fake plastic teeth in order to complete his transformation. 

Resorting to eating pigeons and sleeping under his couch Peter begins stalking the night in search of tasty morsels and eventually the woman who "turned" him. Havoc ensues when Peter makes the rash decision he needs to die. You have to see it to know the rest.

In my humble opinion best flick in the  sub-genre . Adding a touch of skepticism and psycho hallucinations it toys with the idea of vampires without sinking its teeth into you.

Dylan Hart - Journalist Writer Sucker Bitch

Dylan Hart is the female protagonist in my upcoming novel The Scene (working title). After years of struggling as a freelance journalist Dylan has finally found her niche. Unfortunately, this niche has to do with investigating dead girls. These aren't your everyday dead girls in Hollywood mind you, nothing is that easy. There is of course a twist embedded in their deaths. That fact that all seven of the dead hookers have been exsanguinated sparks the interest of the media, no surprise there. Havoc ensues as Dylan and her friends dig deep into these murders. Dylan and her BFF Tatum drink, smoke, and cuss like fucking sailors throughout the bloody exploit that is The Scene. In short, someone bleeds, someone dies, someone drinks blood. Its a hellacious good time!

Keep up with Dylan and her sick sense of humor on facebook.

~The Scene should be released January of 2012 on Kindle and other ebook readers. Check out Dylan Hart and the others in their hilarious adventure into the unknown.
