Do you want to help an indie author help other indie authors? I have a huge goal that I have to hit. But I can't do it without your help.

The situation: A few months ago, my son was involved in a severe car accident that resulted in him breaking his neck. He was lucky, and the break only involved the bone and not the spinal cord. He has since recovered and has decided to devote his life to becoming a radiologist to help others who are in a similar situation. Everything changed when we were informed by both the auto and health insurances that our claims for the accident and the medical bills would not be covered. We would have to pay these enormous bills ourselves. In order to cover these costs, I will need to sell an outstanding 80,000 books

Heather Sharp

As a young girl, Heather aspired to carry on her family's legacy and become a professional cowgirl.

Heather earned a rodeo scholarship, but during career exploration day, ‘Horse Trainer’ or ‘Rodeo Star’ was not an option. A teacher encouraged her to become a pilot. Having competed against men all her life, Heather felt undeterred and disregarded the fact that only 1% of airline pilots were female. So at 17, she traded her lariat for a cockpit.

She spent the next decade flying freight and commuter routes, reminding herself, "Cowgirls don’t cry." Dust yourself off and get back on that horse.”

An economic downturn led to a hiring freeze at major airlines. Remarkably, just four days before reaching the age limit, the Air National Guard selected

Alan Crawford

Retired, with plenty of time on his hands and a healthy dose of grumpiness. The collection leans into sarcasm, cynicism, and a twisted take on the world. Inspired by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

Several curious people, really it’s just one, asked me how or where the ideas came from. Thankfully, there’s no clear answer. When the trousers, mind, or weather conditions suit such things, the computer opens, a page appears, and it starts to flow. Wondrously weird, odd, and strange things abound.

The Stories to Tell Collection now has four ebooks.

I hated reading growing up for multiple reasons. writing always sought me out however whether it was picture books or short stories my imagination was never quiet. my mom would tell me stories growing up at bedtime while w e aped in upstate NY building the foundation of my creative instincts. My dad would play G.I Joes with me and this only furthered my desire to create. It wasn't until I found the Percy Jackson series did I find my love of reading.
From there my future was set. I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I also realized I didn't read anything I was interested in as much as the mythos around religion and death. many fantasy books peeked my interest and grabbed my attention, but stories I wanted to tell, I couldn't find s
