Scene 8 - 600 words - He apologizes for putting her through that, notices how she looks in the new uniform, informs her she's to be at his beck and call 24/7, then steps into the bathroom and comes out a few minutes later in a bathrobe, announces he's going for a swim, and expects to see her 'availability on the yellow legal pad' when he returns. (she's smitten - of course, even though he's a jerk!)

You know, some people like to get in contact with story writers, tell them their fantasies, even talk dirty a little. If you want to do that, you can always reach me at (email). I love hearing the sexy, naughty thoughts my fans have. It always inspires me to write more.

Indie Book Rebels #8 - Writing Fiction & Crowdfunding - Mark Gardner

Writing fiction is challenging enough. But when the story is out on the page, the editing is complete, the cover perfected, a self-publishing author's job has just begun. Instead of just handing the book off to a publisher and letting them work on getting the book into the distribution pipeline, an indie author is also in charge of marketing their book. The whole process from beginning to end, with editing, cover design and marketing costs, can put an author into debt with no guarantee that book sales will take off. More and more authors are turning to Crowdfunding to offset some of their personal financial risks, by asking the crowd to help launch their latest book.

In this episode of Indie Book Rebels we're going to talk with author Mark Gardner who's in the middle of his first crowdfunding campaign to raise both funds and awareness of his newest fantasy novel Champion Standing.
