Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!  I'm so glad you are here.

I want to start by telling you a little bit about myself.  My name is Megan and I am an avid reader.

In the spring of 2012 I met, by chance (in my son's church league t-ball team dugout), the amazing Quinn Loftis (Quinn Loftis Books Website).  Two amazing things happened because of this meeting.  1) I found a soul mate friend and am so blessed to count her as one of my besties!  2) She introduced me to the amazing and booming world of indie books and authors.  

The summer of 2012 I traveled with Quinn to the First Annual utopYA Con in Nashville, TN.  This is a convention that caters to YA and NA Paranormal/Fantasy Authors and the Fans that love them.  I was immediately at home with these fabulous people and their amazing books!

At utopYA 2012, I had the pleasure of meeting the incredible Carol Kunz, the C. in the writing duo of C. A. Kunz and the real author behind the penname Amanda Jason.  When making introductions in the hotel lobby, each member of the group was introducing themselves by their name and the names of their books.  When my turn came, I told her "I'm just a reader".  Carol immediately called me out telling me how readers are the reason writers write and the backbone of the industry.  Readers are the most important people in this community and deserve the most respect.  She also told me that I could never be "..just a reader.." because readers are everything.  Carol Kunz is the inspiration behind my blog's name.  

We have since become very close friends and she still teases me about being more than a reader.  Today, I'm proving her right, by also becoming a blogger. 

This blog will be dedicated to all things books.  Although not exclusive to indie authors, the majority of postings will be indie related.  

I sure hope you stick around and enjoy what I have to share with you! :)
