I’m so excited about this release from Indies Unlimited!
First Chapters provides 1500-word excerpts from the work of twenty-two cutting-edge indie authors (well, twenty-one plus me!). Some of them are award-winning, some are bestselling, and they all, at one time, joined forces at IndiesUnlimited.com: a site dedicated to the indie author movement. This volume includes a wide array of genres and unique voices. From elegant vampires to former assassins, from drama to comedy, from science fiction to nonfiction, you’ll find something to please every palate, along with brief author bios and a purchase link, should you decide to read more.
Why did we do this? Because sometimes the “look inside” feature of a book you’re interested in buying online isn’t enough. You might have to wade through a bunch of front matter, leaving only a page or two of the story. How frustrating is that, especially if you’re looking at a number of books?
This volume includes first chapters from authors DV Berkom, Melissa Bowersock, Laurie Boris, K.S. Brooks, Lynne Cantwell, Martin Crosbie, Jim Devitt, A.C. Flory, Yvonne Hertzberger, Stephen Hise, Mark Jacobs, Chris James, LA Lewandowski, TD McKinnon, Rich Meyer, Melissa Pearl, Lin Robinson, Kathy Rowe, Carolyn Steele, Krista Tibbs, Dick Waters, and Carol Wyer.
I hope you enjoy it.

Reblogged this on DV Berkom Books and commented:
Laurie is so much better than I am at promoting- 🙂 Indies Unlimited’s talent pool is phenomenal. If you’re looking for a new author to read, you’ll want to check this new volume of first chapters out.
Great post, Laurie! You have such a way with words 🙂 The talent pool at IU is phenomenal–I’m honored to be included. Reblogged!
Thanks, Daphne. I’m in some fabulous company!
I have to say your post is much better than mine, Laurie. And, regarding the joke, remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 🙂
Ha! Thanks, Chris. That’s what I’ll tell Kat when she sees this blog…
-hugs- As the new kid on the block, I feel as if First Chapters has handed me the keys to the executive bathroom. [From ‘Are you being served?” the Brit comedy of a few decades ago]
Big giant hugs! Problem is, they put the key at the bottom of the gruel pot. 😉
lmao – well, this is the Evil Mastermind we’re talking about. Here’s your spoon. 😀
Great way to find a new book (and new favorite writer?)! Happy to be in the company.
What a great idea! Love it!
