December | 2012 | The World Of Melissa Starr

Hey peoples…sorry I’ve been MIA but I’ve had the worst head cold known to man. Yuck. Anyways…I usually do the whole Books We Wish More People Knew About segment at least once a week…I’m currently reading I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore and I’m sure I’ll have loads to say about this author as I continue with this series. But since I haven’t finished this one and I don’t want to base my words solely on the movie created as a result of this book…I will move on. (I find that the book is usually much better.) So, without further adieu…I want to give props to Amanda Hocking. The woman single-handedly took on the digital book world and proved to all the big publishing houses that they were wrong about turning her down and she totally proved that with her Trylle trilogy. I have yet to read the Watersong series but I highly doubt that it disappoints! More on that later. Today I’m adding my own novel to this category. I so wish more people knew about Phoenix…when you’re published with a small publishing house it is harder than heck to make it into the mainstream public’s eye. If I had my way about it…more authors would follow my lead and support authors who have the goods and get no respect. I for one want to see the underdog do well (especially when the underdog is me, lol) So please check these novels out & give these authors props!!!!!! Support your fav authors whether they are big house published or Indie, they need your support!!!!
