Self-Published Only Club discussion

In light of devastating floods in Kentucky, if you know of any self-published author in an area hard-hit by historic weather events who might appreciate a review or rating, please post their book information here.

I’ll begin with Mr. WT Keaton, a Bluegrass State-based author of several clever detective and sci-fi/fantasy reads that I’ve enjoyed immensely. They include the following:

Very thoughtful of you, James.

What a wonderful idea!

Major flooding and a damaged water treatment plant have left residents of Jackson, Mississippi (the state capital and largest city) without easy access to drinking water, and some without homes this month.

For over nearly 20 years, Mr. Cyrus Webb continues to be a fabulous friend to traditional and self-published authors alike, by booking them as podcast guests on his CONVERSATIONS LIVE! radio show in Mississippi. As an Amazon Top 100 Reviewer, he has even generously added book review clout to indie authors’ efforts (including an interview and review of your truly when I started out)..

You may want to look up Mr. Webb for some often free publicity or even ask if there’s anything you can do to help him during this time of historic weather in his home state and across much of the planet.

This Labor Day Weekend, California and portions of the Inner-mountain American West (or roughly 40 million Americans) are asked to conserve dwindling water and power as temperatures soar well above 100 degrees for weeks on end. Some are even being forced to flee wildfires brought on by seemingly incessant droughts.

Christina Hoag, a former Miami Herald and Associated Press journalist, calls Southern California home and is the self published author of many books. My favorite is her neo-noir police procedural . Check it or her other works out, as much of The Golden State endures historic weather.

A heartening story from a writer whose mother lived directly in the path of Hurricane Ian:

While Ian has been downgraded from major hurricane status, it also did damage to and cost lives in The Carolinas. A fellow self-published author whose historical fiction I enjoyed reviewing, Hell to Pay, resides in North Carolina (per Goodreads bio) where thousands are reportedly without power and/or are experiencing flooding.

Here’s an interesting program to perhaps help hard-hit authors too:
