If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. We do a live chat Wednesdays at 1 EST, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one. I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Angie Rueckert said… Hi Carole, Thank you for adding me as a friend. I would love to receive the 3 pages on pre-publicity ideas. My editor is half way through the second view of my book, so I hope to have it out before the end of the year. It has been a long road for me, trying to juggle work and finishing my first book. So again thank you!
