I'm Ey Wade and I Am an Indie Author

I guess I should also say, and I'm not ashamed to say it. Though, from things I have read in forums on the internet and in various blogs, I should be hiding my head in the sand for the shame.

To paraphrase a conversational post from a forum, 'no one wants to read a book written by a non-college graduate with 8th or 9th grade reading level'. Wow, such harshness from individuals who aren't bound, gagged or tortured into buying a book from an Indie  author. My take on the matter, to each his own. For every one against the Indie there are two or more for us.

Not all of the self-published write poorly and not all of the traditionally published deserve to have a book published. That's just a fact, crap is crap no matter what manner it is produced. The honest truth of the matter is that I as a reader, before becoming a writer, never gave a hoot about the company that published a book. Today, as an adult, I still don't care.
I feel a rant coming on, but I'll shake it off. The other day I read someone complaining about the number of five star reviews the Indie author's receive on their books. What? Why?

Why is it alright for a traditionally published author to receive 5 stars and not any other author? Why is an Indie Author's family and friends called 'sock puppets' because they read and review books and a traditional author's reviewers are the 'legitimate' readers? is it honestly believed all of their (traditional author) reviews come from unknown sources? Ridiculous.

All I can say is this, my family and neither my friends, are illiterates. If they pay for and read my books they become legitimate reviewers and I gladly accept their opinion. Hell, I'll gladly accept the fact they thought enough of my talents to buy a book.
*shudders expressively to shake off the irritation*
My name is Ey Wade and I am an Indie Author and proud of it.

#Am Reading-#Am Writing--#IAN1 Why Write?

I heard many times in my life that if you wanted to hide something from a Black person you should either write it down or put it in a book. That adage may have been true in the times when educating the slave was discouraged, but now I wonder if it can be said  for most races of people in general.
We're in a flash mode of communication. Texting with most of the vowels abandoned, twittering instead of conversations, and short posts instead of letter writing.

Someone questioned me about my need to write and my desire to be an author and this was after they were finished spouting the fact books are too long.

I write for my daughters, so they will have something from me to be proud of.







I write for my grandson, so that he can grow-up and be a man who is proud of his country, thriving and striving for higher achievement.

I write for those who continue to enjoy reading good books. I write for those who value the struggles many before us went through in order to learn to read. I write because every year, when February comes around I am reminded of the triumphs of my ancestors. Whether they were Black, White or all colors of the rainbow. I #amwrite and I #amreading for the future..

Three of My Books are Now on Amazon

As you may know I have been working diligently to e-publish a few manuscripts. It wasn't as hard as I thought to formulate and then upload to sites such as Sribd, Smashwords, and now to Amazon for the Kindle.

I've heard all of the naysayers about self-publishing, but in every aspect of life there is someone highlighting the negative. Been there, done that. Sometimes we have to turn our backs on the traditional and the norm or progress will continue to be hindered. Anyway, I just want to share my book page from Amazon.

This is a small synopsis of what each books is about.

. Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History lauds loudly the accomplishments of all races that helped make America the great country it has become

.
Also published  in a multimedia (audio/video) e-book format and available for purchase through---WADE-IN PUBLISHING

The Perfect Solution, (Which will be posted by the end of week) A suspenseful analysis of choices and how those choices affect the people around us. A three year old is stalked and mistakenly given to the stalker by his pre-school teacher.

Mona Boots saw him, chose him as her own, and walked out of his daycare with him in her arms. This choice is traumatizing to a single mother, unimaginable to an accused father, and detrimental to a child’s safety.

Yes, Sam Takes Care of Me is an affair to remember. Sam a jealous provider and protector simultaneously gives and takes away in this tale of five friends sharing in the trials and humiliations of having a relationship with the same person.

 


The Fishing Trip As a child, Phenigan O’Carroll endured weekend fishing trips filled with torture, sexual and physical abuse. The adults in his life were either the problem or closed their eyes to the problem and so he decided to eliminate the abuse himself. Set in Shiningbal, Texas where the perverted go to disappear, child sexual abuse is the norm and when the legal system is the monster, redemption doesn’t play nice.
