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)…

Book my blast. Have a laugh. Enter to win! #bloggerswanted

Hello Blog World,

I’m putting together a very impromptu book blast for my Eternal Curse sequel, Eternal Curse: Battleground, from April 13 through April 17…but I’m doing things a little different.

For this blast I will not be featuring excerpts, interviews, or character profiles. Instead, I’ve put together a little You Tube miniseries starring a cute little dog to help build buzz, interest, and sales for this book. It should be a lot of fun and I’m hoping you’ll help me spread the word.

But wait, there’s more. As I mentioned in the title of this post, there is a giveaway involved. I’m offering a special and separate prize pack for any blogger who agrees to post the video/book blast to their blog. This blast will not only offer your subscribers some new, different, and entertaining content, it will also give you a chance to win my prize and more.

The giveaway, open worldwide, will consist of:
– one $25 Amazon gift card (USD)

Each blogger who agrees to post the video/book blast to their blog will receive:
– a free digital copy of either EC: Giovanni’s Angel or EC: BATTLEGROUND
– and 3 free “blogger only” entries into the big giveaway

On top of all that, participation is easy peasy. You sign-up here for a specific day, copy the code to your blog (you may alter as needed), and post. That’s it.

Interested? Don’t be shy.
Join the fun, tell a friend or two, and let the good times roll!

My Hope #50StatesOfPray

e06b3-50statesofpraybanner
Click here to follow this hop.

My prayer for this year and every one to follow is that people learn to love humanity. I want people to be allowed to be human, to have differences without having to be enemies, and to agree to disagree. I want to experience World Harmony…maybe peace is too hard, but harmony can be achieved if people just give it a chance. I’m tired of judgment and double standards. I want to live in a world where it is okay to be different, uncool, traditional, liberal, conservative, taboo, devout, and even weird. God bless us all.

Please, if you have any time at all, stop by some of the other stops on this blog hop; share, leave comments, and help spread some love, cheer, and hope. Thank you Mark Koopmans for putting this hop together.

This is an unofficial Author Insights post.
