Spectors by Angelia Almos.  A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission. Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet:  Bang! A door closed in the house. She spun, her energy pistol secure in her hand. Felicity ejected the disc and passed it off to her. She slid it into a hidden pocket in her shirt. If they got caught, she had to protect the disc. Rutledge couldn’t find it on them or he wouldn’t bother with questions before taking care of them. It took Felicity another dragging minute to erase herself out of the computer and hibernate it. Kristy examined the room in frustration. No windows and the single door they had come through.

Whitelighter by Angie Derek. A steamy paranormal romance novella. A young witch's special powers make her a target to any vampire who catches sight of her. Six Sentence Sunday Snippet:  Stepping into the small living room, she hesitated at the sight of the man she barely knew standing in front of the single window, peering out into the darkness. She studied him in the dim light. He was at least half a foot taller than she, almost six feet, and lean with a hint of muscles outlined under his shirt. His gaze remained on the parking lot. A dash of panic skittered up her spine at his intensity. “Is someone out there?” For more Six Sentence Sunday's from other authors head on over to http://www.sixsunday.com   Available in multiple ebook formats from Smashwords , Amazon , Barnes and Noble , iTunes , Sony , Kobo , Diesel .

Spectors by Angelia Almos.  A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission. Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet: She spun when she was finally out of their sight. “In-laws? What have you been telling them?” He shook his head, but didn’t answer her. “What did you find out?” She pulled her personal panic back in and focused on the job. “There might be signs that Mecha’s been infiltrated.” "They aren't safe here.” “Andrew,” she started to protest what she knew he was going to ask. “I’m not leaving them here with everything going on.” She had two choices, she could give in and let his family tag along or she could refuse and he would jump ship and stay here to protect his family. ...........

Whitelighter by Angie Derek. A steamy paranormal romance novella. A young witch's special powers make her a target to any vampire who catches sight of her. Six Sentence Sunday Snippet:  Reyes Vega waited for her to say something as he shifted the car into park. Besides asking for help she hadn’t said much of anything. He turned to her, resting his arm across the steering wheel as he tried to see her through the blinding glow of her aura. He’d noticed her as bright as a beacon walking toward the convenience store, a whitelighter, just like his mother. Revving down his senses he was able to see her blue eyes and suspicious frown. He supposed she had a lot to be frowning about, including finding herself in a car with a man she knew next to nothing about.

Spectors by Angelia Almos.  A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission. Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet:  The building was dark, signaling it didn’t run nonstop. Which was good and bad news. Good because it wasn’t likely they’d accidentally run into someone in the wrong place at the wrong time, and bad because if they did run into someone they wouldn’t have an excuse to explain their presence. They walked past their target and turned down an alley a couple of buildings away after Kristy was sure no one was paying attention to them. She pulled Felicity back into a doorway as a bored armed guard sauntered by them. She tried to make out his patch to see what type of guard or police he was, but couldn’t see it clearly from their current hiding place. She wasn’t willing to reveal where they were to know exactly who he worked for. Once he was out of sight, they crept down to the town

Whitelighter by Angie Derek. A steamy paranormal romance novella. A young witch's special powers make her a target to any vampire who catches sight of her. Six Sentence Sunday Snippet:  Lily walked down the quiet road toward the emergency lights flashing in the night. Sophie was almost asleep and a dead weight in her aching arms. If their lives didn’t depend on continuing to move and putting distance between them and the vampires, she would have dropped several blocks back. She worried over coming across a band of roving vamps. The darkness surrounding them wasn’t helping her nerves. Revolving blue and red lights beckoned to her like a beacon.  For more Six Sentence Sunday's from other authors head on over to http://www.sixsunday.com   Available in multiple ebook formats from Smashwords , Amazon , Barnes and Noble , iTunes , Sony , Kobo , Diesel .

Spectors by Angelia Almos.  A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission. Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet: She examined the sprawling city more closely. Hardly any of the buildings were higher than one story so she set their path to head to the few multi-story buildings. The night barely hid the wear and tear the city had endured over the years. The mining companies obviously hadn’t invested their profits in keeping the town looking nice. Small puffs of dust came up from the sidewalks from each of their footfalls as they moved down the line of buildings. Several people darted nervous glances in their direction. “We should be blending in more,” Kristy said, her senses already telling her something was wrong on Mecha. “Maybe they know something’s up and are wary of strangers,” Felicity guessed, edging a little closer to Kristy. “Maybe,” she said, she hoped not, it was never good

Wow, almost done with this series. You can find Part 6 here on uploading your ebook files. Now, I'm going to talk about putting your book in print. Some indie publishers skip this step for whatever reason. I would highly recommend you not overlook this potential revenue stream. Yes, ebook sales are increasing every year, but the majority of readers still read print books. Don't cut out a huge potential audience by not offering a print version. You can do it on your own or hire out just as with all the steps in putting your ebook up. For print you will be releasing your novel, nonfiction, novella, or collection of short stories/articles as a Print on Demand book. More commonly referred as POD. You will not have a garage or attic full of boxes of books. Print on Demand means the books are printed when they are ordered. The two most popular companies indie publishers use for their POD books are CreateSpace and Lightning Source. I personally use CreateSpace so can't go

The Plutonians by Angelia Almos. A scifi short story. Adalena, a Plutonian, has lived undercover with her team on Earth for over one thousand years. But when the New Horizons automated spacecraft arrives at Pluto and takes pictures of one of their cities, she knows everything is about to change. Six Sentence Sunday Snippet:  “They found life on Pluto!" The shout went out on July 15, 2015 at 1800 hours. And my life would never be the same. I turned to look at the giant screen television mounted over the bar in the busy restaurant. The New Horizons robotic spacecraft had captured a perfect picture of Pluto. But the image wasn’t of just an empty planet.

Back to Spectors this week. Spectors by Angelia Almos.  A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission. Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet:  Kristy fumed. Her own father sold her out to the MSA. He’d made no secret of his anger over her leaving the nest and striking out on her own, but to turn evidence against her to the MSA. That was a low she would never have expected of him. There was no way Captain O’Neal had stumbled across enough information to charge them with that many crimes. He’d had inside information supplied to him by someone who kept very close tabs on what the Unicorn was up to. Her father was the only person with any motive to be watching them that closely. She carefully shoved the betrayal down so she could function enough to plan. She needed more information. For more Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday authors go to http://scififansat.blogspot.com .
