END OF AN EPOCH
The Driving Force, a magazine I started at Fonterra Transport, for the lower North Island depots comes to its conclusion with both disappointment and some regret. I will never regret the many hours, or should that be many many hours, spent producing The Driving Force, the experience has been enlightening to say the least and I have been happy with the positive feedback. But the end is the end and the last issue will be removed from my website shortly so if you haven’t read it yet click on The Driving Force tab now.
Fifteen months ago I started a magazine at work, (“The Driving Force”), to try to get personal stories from those I work with within transport. I gave myself twelve months to achieve my goal but due to “unforeseen circumstances” it has run longer but the end is nigh
.
My last issue came very close to what I wanted the Mag to become, but although it was personal stories written by the contributors themselves, they related to driving trucks and I was hoping to gain stories which would give more insight into their lives outside of work time. For this reason, regrettably, that issue is my last and a moment in time comes to an end.
But some good news did come of it as my last issue spread its wings and went as far as “TA”, Te Awamutu Depot. Apparently one of their drivers saw the last copy of this almost famous circulation while he was in Hawera and asked why their depot was not included. So Ivan e-mailed it to Te Awamutu therefore spreading the good word.
Merry Christmas to all and have a great New Year.
Peter Laney.
Welcome to Hovding Publishing
and Self-publishing for the "Indie Author"
SUPPORT AND PROMOTE - "INDIE AUTHORS"

Lisa Laney created Hovding Publishing in 2012 while writing her first book "How to Look Flabulous". (published 2013)
No that's not a spelling error but a example of her humour and the manner in which she wrote.
Although originally this site was for the promotion and selling of her first self - published book. I have, since her untimely death, been developing it as a site where all "Wanna-be" writers such as myself (among others) can come to for friendly companionship, advise and promote their own works
As this site develops I hope to bring tips on writing, formatting, and page lay out. In fact a one stop shop for help in getting published
Hovding Publishing was created by my daughter, Lisa Maree Laney, when she self published her first book 'How to Look Flabulous' in 2013.
In 2014 Lisa lost her battle with cancer but before she did she asked me to continue to publish her writings, so my first step was to create the Hovding Publishing website which exists to promote her writings, as well as my own.
This site is also intended as a place where other "Wanna-be" published "Indie Authors" can come to for assistance to aid them in their efforts to get their works published.
Over time I hope to build a valuable contact list of resources and writers of all ilk so we can all learn from each other's experiences, and share the inspiration and knowledge we have gained. (This knowledge, usually gained through our initial failures.) As well as building a community of like minded people to share their ideas and views on any topic of choice.
