A Really Cool Reason for the Bundle
A Cool Reason for the Bundle
Most of you I’m sure sort of scan past any push I make for a bundle here. I am lucky enough to get my books into bundles regularly. They are a great way to find new readers and I enjoy trying to help other writers find new readers as well.
And I make a little money on them as well, which is always cool.
But today Kevin J. Anderson, who moderated this Pulse Pounder Thriller Bundle I am in at the moment revealed one of the main reasons he pesters his fans about the bundles he’s in. And as I read his blog it suddenly dawned on me that I had never once mentioned that part of it here, even though I consider his reason a very valid one.
And a reason I pay a great deal of attention to. Just never thought to mention it. So fixing that today.
This bundle is benefiting the Challenger Learning Centers for Space Science Education.
Kevin revealed in his blog that the bundles he has been in have raised almost $100,000 for the Challenger Center.
Wonderful, and I have been honored to be a part of that along the way. Very honored.
So give Kevin’s blog a read to get more details. Then grab the bundle. You can click on the image at the top right of my page to go directly to the bundle.

I can say that I’m halfway through the bundle, and if you need a reason beyond contributing to the Challenger Center, the writing in the various stories is great. While I’m not much of a golfer, the choice of the opening story seemed to me to be genius.
So, go and get it!
