I got a press release about Backwords Books, but haven't yet spread the word (hanging head in shame now)<br /><br />I enjoyed Christopher Meeks' THE BRIGHTEST MOON OF THE CENTURY and my book club read it based on my recommendation.

I think it leaves things to the reader to determine what is good or not, rather than the publisher - more democratic, if you will. Though the big publishers still have more marketing dollars, you don't need tons of dollars to publicize electronically!<br /><br />janemaritz at yahoo dot comMozi Esmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078786257885681829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-40170882811568754202009-08-12T20:01:09.754-04:002009-08-12T20:01:09.754-04:00I think Threshold sounds like a great read!!!

I'm like a couple of other posters, I love to write and have at least one 'novel' half finished, but given the commercialism,and difficulties of actually seeing my work in print, leaves me with the notion that I am merely wasting my time. Sad. If not for myself, there are far too many truly talented would-be authors out there whose work deserves to be read and enjoyed by many. So, I love the idea of self publishing !!!<br />Anyway, the first book to catch my eye was HOMEFRONT!I loved the snynopsis and I bet this is one heck of a great read :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-74868623455844696832009-08-12T01:15:49.408-04:002009-08-12T01:15:49.408-04:00A publishing company like this is definitely neede...A publishing company like this is definitely needed.

The books that I find interesting are Bonnie Kozek's 'Threshold', Andrew Kent's 'Spam and Eggs: A Johnny Denovo Mystery', and Eddie Wright's 'Broken Bulbs'.

Some of my favourite music is by independent artists and I can't imagine why I wouldn't feel the same about authors.<br /><br />I also love that their books aren't easy to categorize. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is probably missing out on some great reads because they fall into a genre I don't typically read/choose/enjoy.<br /><br />melacan at hotmail dot comPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520420535683181325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-45057114150704272992009-08-10T21:53:48.693-04:002009-08-10T21:53:48.693-04:00I think Backword Books is a brilliant idea.
