My name is Nancy-Lee Noell, and I am a mystery writer. I live in a small town in Northeast Oregon, so I'm very glad to be able to contact other writers. I have self-published 4 novels, 1 of which is a middle-grade novel called Family Secrets. My other 3 novels are mainstream mysteries: Hide & Seek, Wilderness Betrayal, and Deadly Critique. All of my novels are available on Amazon and Amazon Unlimited. I am currently working on the finishing touches of my newest novel, Elephant in the Room. I hope to have it published on Amazon in the next month. Please contact me and let's get to know each other.

We just had our first coffee Hour Meetup and some fantastic ideas have been spun out of them. The idea I want to work on is this? I would like to start having regional Virtual Coffee Hour Meetups so that the Authors in certain regions of the country can come together and become friends. Every time a new author joins us we can direct them to the regional meetups so they can start building relationships with authors near them. Also regional meetup events can be done by Big Book Love Regional Leaders. The second idea is to start having Virtual Coffee Hour Meetups for Genres that authors write in so that you guys can mastermind together with authors writing what you are writing. Before we can start this, there is some information that we need to get from you guys. 1. What genre is your main genre you write in? 2. Would you be interested in these localized virtual meetups and genre specific meetups? 3. What days and times are best for you to get online for these meetups? 4. Would you be interested in becoming a Virtual Coffee Hour Regional Leader? Regional Leaders would be made into moderators for the community and you would have the ability to host these meetups right here in our live call zoom room. I would train each Regional Leader so that you understand how the software works. Just throwing this idea out there to gauge interest. Comment below your answers so we can begin to figure how to make this work for the most amount of people.+ Paul Roberson Community Executive Director https://www.bigbooklove.com/paul-l-roberson/
