I’m in a good moon right now and hope it lasts a long time. I’m so happy to have filled up my self-organized virtual book tour for It’s Like the Full Moon, but I’d still be more than happy to take on more hosts in case anyone is interested.

I want to encourage everyone to breathe in and out and appreciate the life you have. We may not all be exactly where we want to be in our lives, but as long as we have the time and willingness to pursue our dreams and goals, we’re better off than those who’ve had their chances taken away from them … I’ll leave it at that.

October means a lot to me.

1. To me, it’s the beginning of Fall- my favorite season. I’m so ready for sweaters and SCARVES! 😀 … Sorry, but I really like scarves.

2. It’s the month of my birthday, so I’ll be putting my first novel on sale for a few days. Be on the lookout for it.

3. I’m having a Vinyl Record Themed birthday party. I’ll try to remember to share pics later.

4. I don’t celebrate Halloween, but so many other people do. I love seeing everyone let loose and pick out their costumes. It’s a great time to be around kids and to become a kid again, for just a little while.

*And special just for this year, I’m trying something new. I’m testing out a new blog schedule and attempting to start a new bookish blog hop. Please check it out to see if it’s something you’d be interested in. BooktagsBlogHop

Do you have any big plans for October?

Presenting a Special Guest-CE Vance | jessicawrenfiction

Please stop by to learn about a special author and the Middle Grade series she’s currently promoting.

“C.E. Vance is an avid reader and proud Indie author. Aside from dreaming up fantastical tales for her books, she also enjoys writing poetry and short stories. She loves all types of literature, but has a soft spot for children’s fantasy. “How Maxwell Grover Stole My House” is her debut novel and is the initial book in a trilogy for middle-grade readers. She happily resides with her husband and four children in Utah.” ~Jessica Wren

Happy Indie Pride Day 2015! #IndieBooksBeSeen -Check out my ebooks #bargain.

ForBlog

While I think this could be a special day for all indie artists such as musicians and filmmakers, here at The ToiBox I’m focusing on the author portion. So today I’m going to be posting a lot on social media, but not because I’m full of myself. Today is the day for authors like me to shine and that’s what I plan to do. Plus, I put out an invite to post other indies too, but that all hinges on whether or not they take up my offer… and they did. See video below.

I missed this movement last year, but I’m on board this year. Apparently this was almost a trending topic last year, so I’m hoping to do my part at making it trend this year. You can help too and here’s how:

  1. Share a post or image of an indie book (with or without its author) and use the hashtag #IndieBooksBeSeen (Like this one 😉 ).
  2. Search the hashtag #IndieBooksBeSeen on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ and then share, like, and plus + anything you like. (Retweets are good too. Visit me on twitter to get started @toithomas.)
  3. Post book reviews and interviews of indie books and authors- don’t forget the hashtag.
  4. Purchase indie books and share your haul on Facebook, Twitter, and or Google+ with the hashtag #IndieBooksBeSeen.
  5. Tell a friend (or 2 or 10) and get them to do the same thing. Go ahead and be biased about it. Promote a particular book or author to your heart’s desire. As long as you use the hashtag #IndieBooksBeSeen it all helps the cause and is a reason to celebrate.

So there you have it. Five simple things you can do today to help make the world take notice of Indie Authors. I hope you will consider at least one or two of them and have some fun with this day. Speaking of fun, there’s a Facebook event you may want to check out (as well as some other stuff)…
