Panel 1B- Got Reach?
(Kobo Writing Life Presentation)
Presentation by Kobo Writing Life, one of Indie Bookfest’s 2014 sponsors.
It’s new. It’s wow. And how! Not really … serials have been around about as far back as when authors had to pen their work by candle light with paper and a quill. Find out about this “new” wave of novella serials from some of the very authors who are writing and publishing them.
Panel 2B- Got Gore?

Panel 3A- Got Character?
(Maria V. Snyder, Claudia Gray, Raine Thomas, Adam Kunz)
If you ain’t got a character that readers can feel deeply for, you ain’t got much! Why plot, without great character development makes for a hollow story.

(Kristie Cook, Amy Miles, K. S. Thomas, Carol Kunz)
So you wrote a novel? Cool! Now the real work begins. Hope you’ve got what it takes. Editing, beta readers, book covers, & swag. Oh MY! & let’s not even get started on the … marketing!
The world is a colorful place filled with a huge variety of people, cultures, and diversity. So where is all the variety in our books? Take an inside look on what some authors are doing to portray heroes/heroines from different cultures and backgrounds.
Panel 4B- Got Game?
(Kristie Cook, Rick Miles, Tawdra Kandle, Mandie Stevens)
Time to market your book. Oh, boy. Marketing is hard. Marketing is a lot of work. But sometimes thinking outside of the box when it comes to trying to get your book noticed is just what can make the difference.
Panel 5- Got Mad Author Love?
(All authors attending Indie Bookfest!)
An interactive round of “Author Speed Dating”. Meet each and every one of our authors in this fun, fast-paced table-hop! (Some goodies may or may not be involved!) 😉

Panel 7- Got Romance?
(Belinda Boring, Lacey Weatherford, Sawyer Bennett, Brenda Rothert)
Everyone loves a little boom-chicka-wah-wah every now and then. While some authors like to keep it sweet & light, some like to make their pages steam as they type. What is your flavor of romance?
Kenz hated high school. Having no friends, no boyfriend, and worst of
all being bullied—graduation was the only thing she looked forward to. After graduation, she completely reinvents
herself becoming the person she always wanted to be. Someone different. Changed. When she gets to college, she easily makes
friends, boyfriends, and loves life. For
once in her life, she adores the person she has become.
Enter Campbell Boyd —the attraction
between them is instant. He is sexy as
hell. Sweet, romantic, flirty. He definitely knows how to treat a woman in
and out of the bedroom.
Once he has his sights set on Kenz, there
is nothing that will stand in his way.
Or maybe there is something that could ruin it all? One small detail that Kenz tries desperately
to ignore—one that can only be swept under the rug for so long.
What happens when the past and present
collide and secrets are revealed? Is it
possible to forgive or will it destroy them both? One thing’s for sure—things are going to
change.
I am 36 years old. I am married to my high school sweet heart.We have been married for almost 12 years and have 3 amazing kids.I’m a stay at home mom and my kids definitely keep me busy.I live at the Jersey Shore and love all there is to do here.I love nature, birds especially.I enjoy hiking and fishing with my family.
I have always loved to write. In high school I used to write stories, poems and a lot of love notes! I absolutely love to read. I love the way I can get lost in a book and forget about the world around me. Now that I am writing books, I feel the same way, only it’s my book I’m getting lost in.
As for now, I am loving this journey of becoming an author. It has been more then I dreamed it would be.
You can always find me online. I love social media, so please feel free to interact with me.
M. Mabie lives in Illinois, NOT Chicago, with her husband. She is the author of Fade In, a contemporary romance novel; and loves writing for Fifty5Cents Book Blog, which she owns and operates, usually poorly.
She cares about politics, but won’t discuss them in public. She uses the same fork at every meal, watches Wayne’s World while cleaning, and lets her dog sleep on her head.
M. Mabie has never been accused of being tight lipped or shy. She’s THAT girl.
(She doesn’t usually speak in third-person, but surprisingly does when she’s weirded-out about writing her bio.)

Nuclear bombs destroyed earth.

The fountain of youth
She was fifteen when the fountain
MADE HER IMMORTAL
SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE
Rhiannon is a booksmith from the middle of nowhere, Canada. She holds a PhD in Metaphysical Science and Parapsychology, which is to say she happens to know a lot about what goes bump in the night. When she’s not writing she’s singing karaoke, burning dinner, and hiding her superhero identity. She’d like to own a unicorn one day, as long as it doesn’t eat her. You’ll find her sipping iced cappuccino despite her allergy to coffee at yafantasyauthor.com
