Once upon a time, our friend Stephen Tremp asked me to design a blog button for his new project: Writers4Writers. Now here we are, however many months later, and I get to participate as a featured author—I even get to share this month with C. Lee McKenzie! How cool is that? :)
As most of you know, Strength (Mark of Nexus #1) re-releases on sale today. I took the rights back from my former publisher, and I’ve gone indie—meaning, I’ve lost every bit of rank and leverage I worked so hard to gain. Eek! But hopefully, that’s where you come in...

Post #1:
Interested in speculative NA? Carrie Butler is independently re-releasing STRENGTH. the first book in her Mark of Nexus series, and it's only 99¢ this week!
"When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, she’s stunned. Wallace Blake is everything she’s ever wanted in a man—except he can’t touch her. His uncontrollable strength, a so-called gift from his bloodline, makes every interaction dangerous. And with a secret, supernatural war brewing among his kind, there’s no time to work it out. To keep Wallace in her life, Rena will have to risk a whole lot more than her heart.” #newadult #PNR

THANK YOU!
P.S. You may recall that my background is in marketing, which means I was born without a shame gene. As such, this is the part where I ask beg you to buy my book this week—even if don’t plan on reading it for seven years. Even if you’re a dude who hates paranormal romance and has no use for it other than to impress his significant other. Even if you buy it just to support your blogging friend Carrie. A concentrated amount of sales will really help me regain the footing I worked so hard to establish while I was with my traditional publisher. In fact, if you’re reading this, I welcome you to challenge me to something silly if I reach a random download milestone this week, i.e. “If you pass 500 sales/downloads, you have to draw on your face with markers and post a photo!” I just might do one (or two) of them. ;)

My goodness, I LOVE your first penny ad. Whew! Still chuckling. I loved the book Carrie, and I'm glad you've taken back your rights. You deserve every one of those shiny pennies it earns. (Or the 30% of them Amazon let's you keep.) ;)
I just "clicked to look inside" Strength and I must say, I'm impressed. Your book is well written and has a healthy voice.
Done, done, and done. Good luck, dear girl.
I've tweeted and blogged; now I'm off to buy some books! Good luck to Carrie, C.Lee and all the other struggling writers out there!
Good Luck, Carrie! Tweeting.
