Indies First Day
Have you heard about Indies First Day? Read the post below.
What a great idea. Authors working as booksellers in Indie book stores. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
I hope my readers will visit their Independent Book Stores and pick up a book to give this Christmas. You might even find some books for yourself, and you might meet an author who recommends a book by one of her friends.
Below is a list of books I recommend, some books by authors you might not know. If your Indie book store doesn't carry these books, they can order them for you.
Serena by Ron Rash - excellent page turner; subject of a movie.
Nightwoods - novel by Charles Frazier - has a mean character who is out to get the kids."Offering a closer look at the nature of good and evil and how those forces ebb and flow over time.”

Southern Fried Lies by Susan Snowden - a novel set in Atlanta in the fifties. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
How to Beat Chronic Pain, an Insider's Guide by Maren Mitchell. A book that gives hope to pain sufferers and inspires with poetry as well.
