she looked up and smiled brightly.
“Hello. My name is Kate.”
“Izzy,” she said, not quite sure how to approach a conversation with her.
“Are you new to the city?” Kate asked, getting up and moving to Izzy’s table without being invited.
“Um, yeah,” she said, looking at Kate like she was crazy. On what kind of planet was it okay to sit at someone else’s table uninvited?
“I’m just visiting. I like it here so far. Do you live here? If so, that would be so awesome! I’m sure there’s lots to do here, but it probably gets old after a while. You know, all the tourists and such. Is that old? Do you get sick of people asking you a ton of questions while you’re trying to do something?”
Laughing, Izzy placed her finger to Kate’s lips. When Kate finally quieted down, Izzy spoke, “I’m new so I can’t answer any questions yet. But, I do enjoy living here. It’s been an interesting experience so far and I think I’ve done pretty well for myself. I found this little place and they happen to have my favorite sandwich. Not to mention, I’m about to start a business. I actually have a meeting with the owner of the building later today.”
“Oh! That’s so cool!” Kate exclaimed. “Can you show me? Maybe we can explore the city together.”
Being that New York City was the first place Izzy’d relocated where she didn’t have a friend, she wasn’t about to pass up an opportunity to make one. Finishing off her Coke, Izzy stood and motioned for Kate to come with her. Together, they headed out of the café and into a city where gods knew how much trouble they could cause.
A Call to Action
How to Help an Indie Writer
We are Indie Writers. This means that we either self publishing our work or we are being published by a small company and not one of the “Big 6” publishers. We enjoy being independent, we can write what we want when we want with little to no oversight from above.
It also means we are doing all of the heavy lifting for ourselves.
That is the part we enjoy the least. We don’t enjoy constantly spamming social media with information on our latest works, but it’s a task we have to do.
“What can I do to help you out?” you ask.
The answer is very simple. There is a short list of things you can do to give us a helping hand.
Share information about our work with your friends and family
Like, review, and rate our work on Amazon and Goodreads (of course if you don’t like something we would prefer you not leave negative feedback)
Finally you can sign up for the company mailing list (link below) to keep up with the latest goings on our work
We at Gorillas With Scissors Press look forward to producing more products that you can enjoy and we anticipate a long and happy reader/writer relationship!

But what do you get out of it?
