Find, Read, Love
Find, Read, Love is a website about your books, for your current and future readers. It is meant to be a place for indie authors and readers to meet and share (although of course if you have a traditionally-published book you're welcome there anyway, but I will focus my efforts on promoting the website to the authors on KBoards only).
At the moment, I am actively looking for new authors and books to build a sufficiently-sized database, in order to have a great choice of books to offer to the readers. I am letting the readers come organically for now, since I need to have enough material to show before I focus my attention on getting more eyes on your stories.

When will your book appear? This is manual work. I make sure everything is good, that tags are well-formatted, that your author name is the right one, and that your book is not missing crucial information. Then I schedule it on the website.
Your book promotion on the website depends on how many books are scheduled before yours. I will do a pass every morning (at least I'll try), and schedule all the books, one every hour.
Find, Read, Love needs your help!
Please help me promote your books by adding them to the database!
- Register. I know you guys hate CAPTCHAs, but this is a one-time CAPTCHAs to avoid spam on the book list---it allows me to work on the promoting and the coding of the website instead on focusing on deleting the spam accounts.
- Add your e-books. Don't be shy, add them all, I will promote each and every one of them (unless illegal, but that goes without saying!)
For the moment, there are more than 300 people on the main Facebook page. It is still growing organically as time passes, and I will fund ads in the future when possible.
Spread the book love! If you appreciate me promoting your books, please consider:
- Letting your fans know about Find, Read, Love by sharing the website's URL, relevant Facebook pages, or Twitter account.
- Sharing or re-tweeting when your book is promoted (or the ones of your friends).
- Letting your author friends know that they can register and add their books information for free on the website.
Thanks a lot to every one of you encouraging me and helping me every day.  This project is fun, I feel I can give back a little to my indie community and the great fellows at KBoards.
How does the promotion work?
Every day, I'll do this routine:
- I'll schedule the new books on the website. An automatic tweet from the @findreadlove account should follow. I'll then schedule them on the main Facebook page and each of its genre pages.
- I'll promote the 8 Popular Books displayed on the home page. Those depend on how much they have been consulted on the website the last few days.
- I'll then choose 8 random books in each genre and will promote each of them.
I intend to also share Author Interviews, Author pages, and Book Promotion Dates as soon as they will be available on the website (it's schedule for the new version).
How much does it cost?
It's frakking free, for frakking's sake! 
I am an Amazon Affiliate, and I will be getting a percentage of the sale each time an e-book is sold after a reader clicked on my link. It does not cost more for the reader, and it does not detract from the royalties the author is getting. It's just one more place readers can discover and be enticed to buy your books. It's a win/win/win situation, in my opinion.

What am I doing these days?
October, 5th, 2013 Advertising has begun, we're almost at 700 fans as of today. I gain around 60+ likes per day on the main page. As soon as I'll reach 1k fans there, I'll switch the advertising to the Romance page, which is the next one on the list (51 fans for the moment). I NEED YOUR BOOKS, I need to have enough to promote around and lure readers in. So if you haven't registered and added your books yet, now's the time to do it! Fine tune your covers, descriptions, reviews, let everything shine!
September, 14th, 2013 Okay, I've been working some more on the categories!
There are brand new Facebook pages to promote on, specifically for YOUR books.  They are, of course, related to brand new categories, so make sure your book doesn't belong to one of them!
LGBTQ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-LGBTQ/668104923200878 New Adults https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-New-Adults/488696194559096 Short Stories https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Short-Stories/574331362631244 Speculative Fiction https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Speculative-Fiction/162940960567492 Vampires https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Vampires/506807816080686 Werewolves https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Werewolves/163084053897250 Women's Fiction https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Womens-Fiction/555814387800567 Young Adults/Teen https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Young-AdultsTeens/156098737930297 Zombies https://www.facebook.com/pages/Find-Read-Love-Zombies/226568630833424
Some of those categories are "free" categories, which means they don't count as one in the three categories you can choose from for your book: LGBTQ, New Adults, Short Stories, Vampires, Werewolves, Young Adults/Teens and Zombies.
Let me know if you're in dire need of another kind of genre, I'll be happy to add it! 
Oh, and by the way, here is a quick way to check if you've hit all the pages you're interested in: head over to FRL's About page (in construction) and click on the ones you want to be a part of! 
September 12th, 2013 I DESPERATELY need more books to promote, please please please! 
I am going to invest money to drive traffic to the Facebook pages in October, but I cannot do this if I only have the same ten books to promote each day because people are going to mob-pitchfork me to the volcano!

I'd really appreciate it if you all could find some time to add your books, and then tell your author friends about the website and how it rocks bears in tutus with tentacles on top.
Here are the categories I have so far:
Action/AdventureAnimal BooksChildren BooksEroticaFantasyHistoryHorrorHumorLiterary FictionMysteryNon-FictionRomanceScience FictionThriller
September 1st, 2013 I have been working on the Find, Read, Love website these last few days, trying to fix the last bugs and better the look and feel.
All bugs you found about the book description form should be okay now, so please check if you need to resubmit the description one last time. It's easy to find your books:
LoginGo to your Author DashboardClick on the covers of your books to check out if everything works, and if it doesn't, just go back to your Author Dashboard page, and click on the Edit link located just in front of the book you want to modify
Next on the roadmap, for the David Adams version, I will be working on Author Pages (displaying your books and info), Author Interviews and Book Promotion Dates. If you have ideas on what you would like to see on the website after that, or find any bug, let me know! | |  |
