Indiestructuble Book Launch and The 13th Floor Cover Reveal

Indiestructable came out late August and is a book made to encourage writers both indie and otherwise to move to the next step. Which is to complete their work and publish it or find an agent/publisher.

First a word from Jessica Bell:

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

by Jessica Bell

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.

The 13th Floor Cover Reveal

Christine Raine has a new cover and all her paranormal romance novellas are getting a new home under one roof. Or should I say book. Also there's a new bonus story. This cover truly summarizes what the novellas are about and keeps the feel of the paranormal and the forbidden.

Blurb: Six supernatural tenants

Living in a haunted apartment building
On a floor that doesn't exist.

Six novellas telling their tales.

A retired demon acquires a price on his head. 
A werewolf is hunted by her pack.
A modern day dragonslayer misses his target.
A harpy challenges Zeus for the soul of the man she loves.
A vampire is obsessed with a young woman he can't find. 
A banshee falls in love with someone who's death she has seen in a vision.
And a sweet ghost must battle a primal monster to save them all. 

All the stories take place at the same time intertwining their lives together on the 13th Floor.

Includes "The Shadow," a bonus short story
