Free and Discount Books
Occasionally I join both free and discount book promotions through Bookfunnel.com. It’s win-win as I get an opportunity to increase sales and grow my newsletter list, and you get free and discounted books. When the posted month is over, so is the promotion, so don’t wait!
Most of the promotions are a mix of short and novel-length fiction, and fantasy and science fiction. Some drill down further into sub-genres – and those can be a lot of fun.
If you want my story or book from one of these promotions, you’ll need to sign up for my newsletter, but can unsubscribe at any time, even right away. We’ve all done that! My newsletters go out once or twice a month.

Myth and Magic
The two books I looked in this promo are short stories, the first a collection. Both are intros to long fantasy series that fit in the cozy spectrum. What’s not to love?
The first, a collection of shorts, A Study in Mischief and Other Tales of Magical Shenanigans, introduces the 8-book Lily Singer Cosy Fantasy Adventures series. Top star ratings on Amazon and Goodreads. The cover has slowly grown on me – I like the cat.
The next is in the subgenre, Regency Gaslight Fantasy. I had no idea that existed. This free short story by Maria Grace, The Buttercross Dragon, is in the Jane Austen’s Dragons universe, a series of 14 books available on Amazon. It looks like a lot of fun.
Indie Space Adventure – runs until November 15th!
Ah, pure sci-fi here. Not a huge number of books, but some interesting looking reads. Here’s two shorts that act as prequels to series. Both appear to be straight-up space adventure.
The cover on this one caught my eye… a short story that a companion piece to a trilogy available individually and as an omnibus edition. Jane Carter of Earth and the Rescue that Never Was: A Gunslingers Short Story (Gunslinger Trilogy) by Joe Vasicek.
The second is Independence (Two Democracies: Revolution) by Alasdair Shaw. A shortish story (28 pages) leading into a 4-book series. Great reviews.
Fantastic Fall Fantasy & Sci-Fi Giveaways!
After all the fantasy of the first promo, I wanted some pure sci-fi and Colony Collapse fits that to a tee. It’s the first book in the 6-book and growing Shattered Stars series by KE Wolfe. Longish novella or short novel – I write long, so anything this short looks really short! Space opera fun.
Two From the Ashes by Earl T. Roske is a short story in the three book Orphan Corps Shepherds series. Again, short novel. More space opera fun. The author has quite a few series available on Amazon, including what I can only think is the companion series, Orphan Corps.
Where to Purchase
“A slow burn sci-fi? Count me in. I will admit that it doesn’t seem to be a beginner friendly science fiction novel. It seems to be more for the individuals well into the genre – which I’m lucky enough to be in that group. Still, I think every(body) could enjoy it.”
