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.
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.

Thanks for sharing this! Indie publishing seems incredibly scary to me. Sounds like a great resource.

Hey, MIchelle,
Indiestructable sounds like an inspiring read at a good price and for a great cause.
This is a really cool concept with some truly inspiring authors – including Miss Jessica herself!
I heard about this on Alex's site, I'm so glad to see it getting some traction around the web.
Thanks for all your comments, BTW! You are oh so awesome.
It's a great book. Honored to be a part of it.
This sounds like an awesome book…will take a look.
Sometimes we need inspiration to move forward over the hurdles (I ran hurdles in track) . When you first face a new hurdle, it looks like a mountain. Insurmountable. Knowing others have taken the hurdle helps one to realize it's not insumountable, tough maybe, but do-able. Knowing that lets you limber up, plan the approach, and move. 🙂

97, 98, 99! Okay, I've got my pennies together now. Hm. How do I insert them into my computer to buy the book. Maybe this cup holder thing… (Kidding, kidding.)
I've never been sorry I published with a small press. I hope the book inspires many more to take a chance.
What a wonderfully inspiring book! I wish you all the best success!
Such an excellent book, I have my copy and will use it to get through the rough times!
I will, I will! I know practically EVERYONE in it. Yes, yes! Off to get it. Thanks for posting about it pal. I'm so out of touch, I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
I do love the way the book ties in with such a worthy cause. And I feel it's my duty to share this posting. Thank you, my friend.

What a great idea and for a great cause. Congrats to all the authors involved.
This sounds fabulous and I hope to get it one day for my Kindle. There's a slight hiccup in my Amazon-Kindle connection but it has to do with operator error. LOL
I downloaded this. It sounds like a great read.
Excellent idea and what a good cause!
I'm always waffling about whether I should attempt traditional publishing or just take my fate into my own hands, so this sounds like a great resource. Plus, there were so many familiar blogger names in the list of contributors – how fun!
Got my copy.
Will I? Won't I? Self-publishing? Big decision! Great collection.
Congrats to this wonderful group of authors! I'm off to buy a copy!
