Great Minds Think Aloud started as a conversation and became something much larger. In March of 2011 we started Great Minds as a book club that was originally designed just for women. Over the course of that month it quickly evolved into a place for everyone. Great Minds is now a hub for not only readers, but authors, publishers, publicists, artists and anyone that has interests in the literary world. Great Minds has an established presence on virtually every social networking site on the internet. They have their own Facebook pages that include the initial friend page, group page, and like page. To find them all you have to do is type in Great Minds Think Aloud on Google and they are the first thing you see. Membership has been growing rapidly over the past few months, they now boast over 1000 members on Facebook and over 200 on the forum not including the followers of their blog as well as the numerous other sites they are associated with. Their main website can be found at: http://www.greatmindsliterarycommunity.com and was established late last month, already there have been close to 2000 hits. Their work includes doing PR for numerous publicity firms, publishers, and authors. They also do reviews on books that are posted on every site where they have established a web presence, and they hold monthly contests and exclusive interviews to heighten the knowledge of the many talented Indie Authors out there today. Great Minds Think Aloud now offers publishing services, advertising services, and company merchandise. All of this information can be found on their site: http://www.greatmindsliterarycommunity.com. One of the largest draws at this point are the themed e-book giveaways they have begun starting Halloween of 2011. Each holiday through Easter they will host a new event where lots of different authors offer a donated e-book to create packages for the lucky winners. Their reviews have become some of the most followed reviews on the web, and their process is one formulated to be honest, precise, and intellectual. They review all genres and have what they call the "Raven" system set up to rate the books they receive. Being a long time fan of Edgar Allan Poe, Kitty Bullard the creator of Great Minds, chose the Raven to be an integral symbol of the literary community. Interviews with authors are always done on a personal basis by researching the author and their works before forming questions that are for them alone. At the bottom of the home page on their website you can find all the various hubs where reviews, interviews, blog stop posts and any other correspondence with authors, publishers, and publicists are found. Great Minds also prides themselves on their versatility, as they have made a point to work with well-known publishing agencies as well as Indie publishers which they take a special interest in.

Author bio:
Captain Peter Cain (born 1954) spent all his childhood years living in a small village called Buxworth which is situated in the hills of the Peak District in North Derbyshire. At the age of 20, he broke away from village life to become a Redcoat Entertainer at the Butlins Holiday Centre in Ayr, Scotland. From there he advanced from being a bingo caller and then manager to sales executive for a cleaning firm before finally owning his own business which he eventually sold. He aimed for a complete 'life change' and went through the process of becoming a professional boat skipper. He sailed around to Portugal and settled in the beautiful tourist locality of Lagos, which is situated in the west of the Algarve. He has worked in the region as a skipper on various tourist boats during the summer seasons since 2000. When he was in his early 30’s, having always shown an interest in writing, he was a whisker away from having some of his work accepted for TV. Until recently his work commitments prevented him from further pursuing his love of writing and poetry, but now has time to return to his favourite pastime. His first book, which has been published through Kindle is called 'Percy the Parrot - and Other Pet Subjects', which is based on the African Grey parrot Peter once owned and also in the book are some of his many other humorous encounters with various creatures ranging from mice to elephants. To add to this, his new book 'A Sign of the Rhymes' which was released on March 1st 2012 contains humorous rhymes, 'Puzzling Poems' and a concept he has named 'Re-versing Rhyme', an interesting take on poetry. Peter has just finished writing a follow up to his first book which is entitled 'Percy the Parrot 2, the bird's perspective''. A light hearted fictional account of events as experienced by 'Percy'. The book is also now available through Kindle publishing. Peter is presently in the process of writing more poetry and rhymes with an illustrated children's 'A-Z of Animal Poems'.

Author bio:
Steven Thornton, born in Oklahoma, of Native American descent. Is a romantic, a creative thinker, certainly a dreamer, probably a visionary, and perhaps both brilliant and mad at the same time. He grew up on a farm, no stranger to hard work – spending years on a road grater with his Grandfather, learning to build roads and spread gravel. His summers were composed of driving dump trucks, feeding cattle, working a garden, and enjoying the occasional fishing hole. He attended Southwest Baptist University, majoring in Business Administration (but dropped out). Leaving the rural Midwest to catch a dream in Los Angeles, he became a successful fashion model for leading companies including DKNY, doing shows in Milan, print work and billboards in Sweden, working for large international companies like TMobile and Geico. A chance meeting with a medium changed his life, alerting him to possibilities he had otherwise never considered. She asserted that his grandmother was one of his guardian angels, and he credits her for changing his life. This is his first novel debut, he is now working on his third novel, “Samantha,” a coming of age novel. The book DIMENSIA explores spirituality, religion, physics, meta-physics, and scientific theories. Which reveals his keen interest and belief in parallel dimensions. (Which of course allow for more opportunities for love, happiness, success, growth, and light!) He attempts to explain, explore, and excite his potential audience with the possibility of the unknown. Explaining the tone of his book, he uses words like: “dramatic, explosive, intriguing, at times playful, struggling, unwilling to accept reality.” In this dimension, he “faces the darkness and embraces the light,” and attempts to define the existence of things one could only fathom. I know this sounds crazy, but he's crazy enough to try to change the world!

The Defeat by Jay M Horne The Defeat by Jay M Horne May 12, 2012 $0.99 2854 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Jay Horne sprouted up among the roots of a literary family tree. His grandparents on his mother's side, were both English teachers in a rural community, and traveled to every country on the globe. His mother and sister are exquisite artists, and his uncle a published poet. His aunt was retiring from her life-long work as a school principal just as Jay's writing career really started to blossom. What started as an outsource for Jay's extremely soft-spoken personality, writing became a love of his when he happened upon a handful of short stories he had written as a child. Those stories were published in two volumes, as-is called published youth, in 2009. Since the time of his first book, Life's a Joke!, which he is now admittedly embarrassed to claim at times as his own, he has successfully published over 30 works of literary art, some in more than 3 languages. His most notable being, Hubudi, a romantic fantasy that returns a couple of conflicting beliefs to pangea through the raising of the tower of babel and the union of their forbidden loves. He helps authors find their way to the public spotlight through his website http://www.bookflurry.com and has published for more than 40 authors all over the world.

Beginning my fifth career in 2006, I embarked on an amazing journey—visited many locations around the world (virtually), met numerous people in the writing business, and corresponded with many readers. I also made many new friends—lived their joys, sorrows, angst, loves, heartaches, in other words, their life experiences—my characters. I continue to study my craft, still learning, still struggling to bring my characters to life. I hope you, my reader, are enjoying my journey as much as I enjoy bringing it to you.
