Crystal Lesher Explores Jumping Dimensions in New eBook

Author Crystal Lesher explores the idea of jumping dimensions in her new ebook. What would your life be like if you found out that instead of dying you jumped dimensions to avoid fate? That is exactly what the main character Destiny is discovering. The book is entitled “Destiny” both for the name of the main character as well as following her in her destiny.
Crystal wrote the ebook contemplating what it would have been like had her brother been able to escape his untimely death. “Where would he have ended up?” is the main question that lead her down the path to start this wonderful series entitled “The Dimentress Series”.
Crystal was most attracted to the idea of “What if you were unable to die … unless it is an old age, natural death?”
The series will capture the excitement, heartbreaks and downfalls of a life without fear of dying young. It has its reality moments, but also has the flare of fun from fantasy. Destiny will find family members she never knew existed and ultimately try to carve out her future family life and experiencing tons of adventures along the way. Come take a journey with Destiny.

Using FB

Well I created a fb page to help get the word out about my book. http://www.facebook.com/destiny.dimentress

Well, I got blocked from adding friends. Apparently, they think I am adding people who are not my friends. Also, the ones that I have invited that aren't sure who I am. I cannot message them.

Apparently, even though I have not sent any messages to anyone someone has reported me for spam.

So a few tips.... only add around 30 or so peeps a day.... and make sure that you have on your feed who you are because you may find yourself unable to send messages :S

Hi, I was hoping to inquire as to whether or not you might put a story in the paper for me. See I graduated from WVU Tech and recently I have published and ebook.

Substitute publishes Ebook

Crystal Lesher, a substitute teacher for Lewis County and a graduate from WVU Tech, has written a fiction ebook, Destiny. It is a story about a young woman who finds herself in a very unique situation.
Destiny has found out that her family has a very unique characteristic, they cannot die unless it is a natural old age death. When unnatural death seems inevitable she simply hops dimensions. The book focuses trials that Destiny faces in her life.
The stories main theme would be that of: sometimes you can't fight your destiny but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make the best of the situation either. The ebook is now available at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/208349 you can get it on sale for only $1.50 with the coupon code EY35R until 8-30-2012.
Crystal Lesher spends her time working for Lewis County schools, working at tractor supply company, volunteering at Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital and writes books in the off hours. She has been working on this book since 2010.
Crystal Lesher went to WVU Tech from 2003-2010, she graduated with a degree in Interdisciplinary studies. She decided to publish first in an ebook format to earn the money needed to publish a book herself. She holds the hope that it will be a well received book and plans on making a series. She is striving to finish book two within the next six months.
