Indie Author Month 2012

Hey hey guys & gals!! I have some awesome news!!! Lovely lit will be hosting a uber great event in the next month, all focused on indie authors and their awesome YA ebooks!!!

Why? Recently. i've been discovering sooo many indie authors on my Kindle. Initially, i downloaded one random book for 99 cents. I thought it'd be ok to spend a mire dollar even i i hated the story... but whoa...i LOVED it! Since then, i've bought about 10 more and added over 50 to my wishlist. Addicted much? I really, really wanted to let these author know how much i appreciate their hard work! So i think exposure of these awesome stories is perfect. Before i accidentally stumble upon my first indie book...i was pretty much clueless. I know there are probably lots of people out their like the "before" me... So i want to end that now!!
