ONLY 99c TO HELP SUPPORT THE INDIE AUTHOR & AN AMAZING CHARITY!

On the road ... literally. ~ in Asenovgrad.
I'm back to the drawing board after an amazing month-long road trip in Bulgaria! We travelled all over the place, totalling over 3000 kilometers. And it was really quite amazing.

Now back to business ... Guess what's finally available?

INDIESTRUCTIBLE!!!

The day I realized I’d been obsessing over my sales figures way too much was the day I closed my eyes and tried to think about the real reason I am an indie author.

Is my primary goal to make money? No. So why do I keep obsessing over my sales stats? I realized it’s because more sales means more people reading my work. What I really really want is to be read. I want to share the one thing in this world I would cut my fingers off for. I know. If I didn’t have any fingers, I wouldn’t be able to physically write, but you know what I mean.

My passion for writing comes with a perpetual replacement button, attached to my side seam, just in case it becomes unraveled, and falls off, after a day gallivanting through the publishing jungle. It can be tough in there, but in the end, being an indie author is OH SO WORTH IT.

This made me wonder …  what’s everybody else’s story?
Then Indiestructible was born.

And here ends another year of exhaustion ...

Source
By the time you read this I hope to be long gone from the desk that is beginning to erode from the constant rubbing against my torso ...

By now, I should be in Bulgaria, where I hope to work on my "no-tan". (Yup, I like to stay white.)

I'll be on blog hiatus for the WHOLE month. And boy, do I need it. Knowing me, I'll probably start to miss you and sneak a gander now and again whenever I have access to WiFi. But I also hope I DON'T find any WiFi access so that I'm not tempted. I really need a decent decent break. So if you email me, please be patient for a reply.

Don't forget, September 16th marks the launch of Indiestructible: Inspiring Stories from the Publishing Jungle. If you'd like to help promote this amazing anthology during September or beyond, then please enter your name and email HERE, and I'll be in touch about how you can help spread the word closer to the date. There will be super easy promo options, and pre-written blog posts, etc, so it will take up very little of your time to participate, but it will help make the launch a success for us more than you know.
