Clean Indie Reads March Madness Blog Hop, Sale & Giveaway - Find Your Next "Flinch Free" Read

Have you ever skipped over the parts of a book with too many graphic details about a violent act or bloody scene? Do you pass over paragraphs or pages that go beyond the bedroom door in a way that makes you uncomfortable? Do you cringe when you come upon excessive and pointless foul language in a story? I do, and too often. Sometimes in these days of "anything goes," I need to take a break from all the oversexed, obscenely violent, and filthy language that permeates popular culture, including  books. This is not always easy because the powers that be at the helms of pop culture think this is what everyone wants.  Well, not everyone, which is why I was thrilled to discover Clean Indie Reads, the home of "flinch-free fiction," and joined them not only as a reader but as an author.

Clean Indie Reads is a group of indie authors writing fiction that's clean, meaning  without gratuitous sex, violence or profanity. Home to more than 2000 (!) authors, CIR offers titles in just about every genre from children's books, to YA, new adult, romance, mystery, you name it. We not only help each other market and promote our work but also support one another through the writing process, publication, and sometimes personal difficulties. We also share our members' news and accomplishments on our website, Facebook page, and on Twitter using the hashtag #CR4U. This is a tight group, but open to others who'd like to join us. Readers are always welcome. Here's the link.
