    Brand New Story Bundle…

    FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE MYSTERY… Kris put together what I think might be one of the best mystery StoryBundles in a long, long time. And I feel really lucky to have a book in this one, let me tell you. Here is the link to get it:  https://storybundle.com/mystery Here is Kris’s blog introduction to the bundle… —– SECRETS AND LIES STORYBUNDLE by Kristine Kathryn Rusch Want me to pick up a book? Put the word “secret” on the cover. Secret histories, secret lives, or heck, just the word “secrets” by itself. I love secrets. Secrets imply something slightly nefarious, something untoward, something that must be kept hidden for…

    Post Just For Readers

    Books In The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign… Wow, are there a lot of books for readers in The Return of the Fey Kickstarter Campaign. To start off with, everyone who backs the campaign at the $5 level and above will get a copy of the brand new Fey Novella that Kris will write to get herself back writing Fey novels. She explains it all in the video. It is at the bottom of this post. Then if you backed the reward at the $30 level, (or added it to another reward) you would get all seven books of the Fey in electronic editions. And there is also a…

    The Return of The Fey

    Kickstarter Campaign…. Off to a great start on its first day, far more than any of us expected, which is great fun. In the first five hours we not only funded (39 minutes) but we blew through the first three stretch goals and are approaching the fourth. Wow, just wow. Check it out at The Return of the Fey. The first four stretch rewards not only gets everyone great books to read, but when we hit the fourth, that will give writers three brand new Pop-Up Classes Kris and I worked out around epic fantasy. That will be a $450 value. And, of course, everyone at every award level gets…

    Boss is Back!!

    Thieves Publishes Today!! Today New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s new Diving Universe novel THIEVES publishes today. THIEVES is a great book, to say the least. Great science fiction. Boss is back and diving the boneyard. And oh, wow, is the clock ticking. Some of you may have gotten this book early through the Kickstarter we did last fall. (Hardbacks are still stuck at the printer, sadly. And the game is still stuck in China.) So if you got to read it already and like it, help us pass the word. This is just an amazing addition to the Diving Universe. And for those of…

    Book #4 Published…

    Book #4 in the Challenge… I am working to publish 70 things in the year when I am officially 70. That year started back in the middle of November, so four means I am a little behind on pace. I count only novellas, collections, novels, and anthologies (or magazine issues) with my name as editor on the cover. In other words, major books. I may also pace along with a different 70 challenge with stand-alone short stories, but will see on that. I expected to be behind at this point. Basically I need to publish about 6 books a month. I have some things coming up that will help catch…

    Holiday Stories

    All Kinds of Ways to Get Holiday Stories… I have said this before, and more than likely I will say it again. I really like the basic Lifetime Holiday Movies and the Hallmark Holiday Movies. I tend to look at and scan through, or actually watch completely, one movie a night. Kris doesn’t really watch that kind of movie, so its me, just enjoying the journey, often with a bag of popcorn, or on some nights a mug of hot chocolate. Best movie so far that is new this year on Lifetime is a time travel one, standard letters through time plot with a portal, but it worked fine. My…
