AUTHORLOVE IS HAVING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE DOMAIN AND WHAT NOT. I AM CURRENTLY FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO ADD TO THIS SITE.
I HOPE TO GET IT BACK UP AND RUNNING, HOWEVER IT MAY BE IN THE NEW YEAR.
Thanks for showing your support to other authors, that is the spirit of authorlove. Get out there and help each other. Hopefully I will be able to remedy the problems and get it back and running.
Thanks again for joining up with AuthorLove. To show my appreciation, I am creating a blog page here for each and every one of you. A place that I can link to when I mention you on the site. It can have any info you would like on it.
Here is the Members page as it stands at the moment –> AuthorLove Members Page –> See how you can have your own little page. IF you click on any of the pages, it will go to their Member page with their promo/contact details on it.
As it is a lot of work for me to go through and create these pages, I would appreciate it if you could send me the info.
If you can send me the HTML code, so I don’t need to create links and format that would be even better.
Some of you are in the AuthorLove Hall of Fame. This means that you have written a book/books and that I LOVED This book and really support you as a fantastic author. This is not the place for everyone (Though that would be awesome), it’s just my favorites. Some of them are not members of AuthorLove but people in the writing community that I greatly admire.
IF you have your name here, under the Hall Of Fame You are also more than welcome to send me any info you would like here. It’s up to you.
Obviously I will check to make sure the information you provide is suitable, but if it is about your writing and is not offensive then i will probably put it up as is.
Sporadic updates about future competitions on the AuthorLove site
About 10 newsletters per year about AuthorLove news. (You might feature in this newspaper if you have a new book out.) –> Good advertising.

Why is AuthorLove Awesome?
Because it is!
No seriously. AuthorLove is about caring for the writing industry by support authors.
Support authors

buy their books!!!
Talk and make friends in the industry
Help them to create better books
Make friends
Build connections

Make Karma work for you
By supporting the writers, we are supporting the industry. Help authors to write better quality books and we all end up with better quality books. –> Get it!
Authorlove is soon to be a yearly campaign and have it’s own website!
I bought the domain today www.authorlove.com. I created the Google account for the webmail –> Contact.authorlove [at] gmail.com. I made the Twitter account Author_Love .
The AuthorLove Competition:
This will be starting later this year. The premise is to help promote the writing community spirit and promote awesome authors and new books. Basically, you will sign up to participate –> Pick some authors you think we all need to know about (including debut authors) and during the competition week we will be posting blog posts ‘highlighting’ this author. You can interview them, post a review, link to their blog or what ever.
The blog page will also host a twitter list and G+ list of authors participating so we can all follow each other and make some great new friends.
EXCITED!!
Who wouldn’t be excited
