It's virtual, of course, on Facebook and Twitter. It's the brainchild of Jen Gentry and we're hoping to have a good time. Hope you can join the virtual festivities.
Hugs,
Gayle

Oh, it is a lot of work, but I tell you, it's so fulfilling when you can make someone's dream come true like that. Hooray for FS for bringing such a great group of folks together!
Thanks so much for the stars and good wishes!

Well, this sounds like fun! I'll be there for sure, Gayle. It certainly is jungle out there in the publishing world. Mine's a Margarita. Won't say no to a virtual nacho or six either.
I'm off to check out those links.

Super Avril, so nice to see you! Feeling lucky? Hope so because we have good prizes, yes, and we're hoping to have a good time. You know how these things go.
Shelly is making nachos non-stop, and maggies, too. Of course, with Jen at the helm of this marketing ship, we feel good.
I'm net impaired to put it mildly, and all this marketing stuff is over my head, but I think she's got it handled.
Yes, the publishing world is a jungle, truly, no cliche intended and we're proud of so many of our authors so this will be fun to showcase them.
And of course, our Fanstory, whithout which, I, for one, would be lost.
Thanks for the great comments and we'll hoist a maggie Friday, okay?
Hugs,
Gayle

An interesting way to advertise. You make it sound fabulously exciting.
Who would want to miss virtual nachos and a virtual pinata??
I will be there and square! All the very best in this new venture.

Thank you so much, both for the stars and the comments. Yeah, feels like we've published half of FS, and then with Jen coming on as Marketing Director, we figured we'd have to invite here, too.
So glad you'll be able to make it. Should be fun, book giveaways, folks to greet!
Thanks again,
Gayle
Comment from Aaron James
Hi Gayle,
It seems all goes well with Jeff and Yourself and you have a busy time ahead. I am intrigued as to why you decided on the name change, but nevertheless wish you all the very best for the future.
Your business proposition is commendable; any venture which allows hardworking writers to achieve publication while producing a quality, polished product has to be admired.
I have had interactions with all the staff members you mention and can only sing their praises. I will of course take up the invitation and add my support.
Kindest regards and my very best wishes for every success.

Prayers still going up? Good news, yes?
Arron, thank you so much for the wonderful words and your high praise. Isn't Fanstory great to bring so many of us together for this edifying and truly inspiring get together? Where else does this happen? And then we can go to the forums and have 'speaks'. And always, still friends.
Hugs, thanks and prayers still going up!

Hi CG,
So nice to see you and thanks for the good wishes. We're hoping for new Fanstory members as well as successful authors. Jen feels if we get the FS support she expects, we could get huge numbers of hits. Stop by, we're raffling off good prizes. And giving away free books! Lots of them.
Hugs,
Gayle
Comment from Sasha
Sounds great. How to I go about offering my book free to anyone interested? I've been off Facebook for awhile so I will have to sign up again. Good luck with the launch and I will be there to cheer you on.

Wonderful, Sasha. We'll add Leaf in and see if we can't give enough of them away to generate interest. Thanks so much for being there. Ya never know, you could win the Fanstory membership!
Big hugs,
Gayle

Please note, since I cancelled my old FB account I had to resign up as Valerie Jean, my birth name...a bit confusing.

We'll know our Smurphy anywhere! We'll be looking for you!
Comment from bob cullen
My review for this is in poetic form, I tried to lodge it on the facebook page but everytime I attempted to skip to the next line, it pushed me onto a new comment box. So here goes.
Just a brief not for everyone
There's a new player in the game
To help poor authors everywhere
On the tough writing road to fame
Omega used to be your name
Till the lawyers demanded change
So you came up with G and J
Now it's back to the writing range
So if you want to sell your book
And you need help al;omng the way
And you're not sure where you should go
Contact the folk at G and J
I know this because that's what I've done
And now I have a book for sale
It's coming soon on G and J
Called The Ultimate Betrayal
I'm also posting this on fanstory

Oh my, Bob, I'm truly touched. Thank you so much.
And didn't Norma do such a bang-up job editing for you! I just feel really good about your sales. Two countries with printing capabilities makes paperback delivery much easier.
Now we need you to chat with Jen. Get something working and we'll promote you on our site as well.
So exciting! Just think, you'll be the first book published under the new name! Kewl!
Hugs,
Gayle

Congratulations on this new adventure. It sounds that you are on the right path to helping many people. I didn't catch if you were an American Publishing firm or a Canadian Publisher. I live in Canada and am looking to see what is available in my country before venturing out into the United States. So if it is possible to have a reply to this query I would appreciate it. Good luck with your new endeavors.

Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. We're an American publisher, but we have an affiliate in AU as well as the UK, so we're finding our horizons broaden all the time. Right now I honestly don't know. I do know that shipping American books to Canada is a bit more expensive and that's a true consideration in the overall profit margin. Who knows, maybe someone in Canada will open a POD printer. We belong to Ingram Distribution, Inc. so we'll be included. Cross finders.
Again, thank you for the fine review, and keep in touch!
Gayle
