I’m in a Story Bundle
As an experiment in getting involved in new and exciting ways of making my books available, I am participating for three weeks as part of a story bundle. I have some VERY impressive co-authors in this endeavor, including Neil Gaiman and Kevin Anderson. For those unfamiliar with the bundling concept, you can get a whole bunch of top books for whatever amount of money you want to spend. Check it out, help support a group of authors and get a great buy. Check it out here:
