As the weather turns colder, we start to think of warm activities. Sipping hot chocolate, sitting in front of a warm fire, curled up with a few good books on your eReader.
Speaking of good books for your eReader, this month you have the change to bundle up with not one, not two, but seven books in StoryBundles this month.
First up is the Dark Justice StoryBundle. Curated by one of WMG’s favorite authors, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, this bundle features two WMG books: Cold Call by Dean Wesley Smith and A Dangerous Road by Kris Nelscott.
Here’s more about the bundle from StoryBundle.com:
The Dark Justice Bundle is, as our curator (and best-selling author) Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts it, “as close to crime fiction perfection as possible.” This bundle boasts one Grand Master, several award-winners, bestsellers who’ve hit lists like the New York Times and USA Today with multiple books, household names, and writers who’ve just entered the mystery field—sometimes with a bang.
We also have a lot of diversity here. Our investigators include an African American detective, a Canadian doctor of Asian extraction, a disabled stockbroker and a group of retired cold case detectives. Throw in a few amateur detectives, a disgraced ex-cop, a female bounty hunter, and the famous Matthew Scudder, who has appeared in film (most recently A Walk Among The Tombstones), and you’ll encounter the full range of characters the mystery genre has to offer.
This bundle ends in less than two weeks, so don’t dally.
Next up is the NaNoWriMo bundle, curated by another of our favorite authors, Kevin J. Anderson. This bundle offers five WMG books—Discoverability, How to Write Fiction Sales Copy, Killing the Top Ten Sacred Cows of Publishing, The Pursuit of Perfection, and The Freelancer’s Survival Guide—and is available well into December.
Here’s more about the bundle from StoryBundle.com:
It’s National Novel Writing Month again, and we have our biggest bundle EVER here to help you complete your novel! The 2015 NaNoWriMo Writing Tools Bundle contains thirteen new books on all aspects of writing, from craft, to productivity, to business, to career advice, to specific areas of expertise, designed for novices or experts alike. It’s a massive batch of useful books that will help you survive—and thrive—during National Novel Writing Month.
And for our first time ever, we have a second-tier bonus that contains the entire 2014 NaNoWriMo Writing Tools bundle! If you beat the total of $25, you can get 25 total books, all put together by our curator and bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson. It ranges from the general to the specific, and is a treasure chest of books vital to your success—not only in writing your novel but in launching your long-term career as a successful writer. This is a toolkit, a drill sergeant, a mentor, and a cheerleading section, all in one.
Not only that, when you purchase a bundle you can choose to donate to NaNoWriMo itself! NaNoWriMo is a nonprofit that helps mentor not just aspiring authors, but young writers and novelists to ensure that you’re never going to run out of great things to read in your lifetime.
And finally, as a reminder, we just released a bundle of Kristine Grayson’s Santa Series novellas—Up on the Rooftop, Visions of Sugar Plums, and Dressed in Holiday Style—called, appropriately enough, The Santa Series.
Merry reading.
