The Light Fantasy Bundle - curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
You can feel the jangled nerves right now. People are kind; people smile. But when they talk, even about the weather, they talk about discomfort.
I had a hunch this would happen. I knew that the months preceding the American mid-term elections would be difficult for the entire world. I didn't know how difficult. I just knew that we would all be in need of escape right about now.
And a particular kind of escape. We needed to go elsewhere and to know that we might get a smile…or maybe even a happy ending. Something that would soothe our nerves rather than aggravate them.
So I asked some of my favorite writers if they had some books they hadn't released into the world yet. Something funny or light or romantic. Something filled with fantasy and escapism.
And oh, my goodness, did these writers respond. Behold fifteen exclusive fantasy ebooks, filled with made-up worlds, things to smile about, and more than their share of joy. There's a lot of laughter here as well as haphazard heroes and magic gone awry.
Short stories and novels, royalty and wizards, and magical creatures—not counting the cats, of course.
The writers themselves are award-winners and bestsellers, experienced in the ways of telling a good tale. They know how to provide the proper escape from a dark, dark world.
You can get all fifteen books at a discount—and remember, you can't get them anywhere else. If you're so inclined—and I hope you will be—you can also give a few dollars to our charity, World Central Kitchen.
World Central Kitchen provides meals to people who can't escape their lives right now. WCK travels to places across the global that have experienced all kinds of crises, from war to natural disasters.
WCK does great work. If you want to find out more about them, go to their website at wck.org. Then come back and toss some money at them. They'll appreciate it, and we will too.
Let's do what we can to get through this dark time in our history. We can read and escape, and spend a little money and help others at the same time.
Here's how you do it. – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
