Just $1.66 per story


Hey there!

The early bird gets the worm... but the late birds get the party. ;)

The Early Bird Specials are over for the Last Roll of the Die crowdfunding campaign, but the fun has just begun! And better yet, the project is fully funded twice over which means you know you'll be getting what you pay for.

(I also happen to know that all the stories are finished and the book is currently at the printers. So no risk here!)

There's still time to back the anthology and grab the new Danica Burns story—which won't be available anywhere else. Of course, you'll also get 20 other stories from authors like Mary Stone, J.D. Barker, and Craig Martell. You can take your time reading each one, savor them while you drink your morning coffee, or binge them all at once!

And while I've talked a lot about the gorgeous deluxe print version, I know not everyone enjoys a physical book.

That's why there's "The Deal":

They should have called it "The Steal" because you only have to pay $12 to get the complete digital anthology—all 20 stories, delivered to you via Bookfunnel DRM Free.

In case it's too early to do that math, I've done it for you, and that comes out to $1.66 per story. Or, another way to think about it, most ebooks cost an average of $4.99-$6.99 these days, so for the price of 2-3 ebooks you're getting 20 of them!

Okay, that's all the math I have in me for the day. I'm going to go back to revising book 1 of the Danica Burns Mystery Thriller series... so stay tuned for a release date announcement. Very soon, friends. ;)

Away From Her

by Alex Sigmore & Ash Mercer

Avery has spent five grueling months at Quantico with one obsession: gaining the elite skills needed to solve her mother’s cold case.

But her focus is shattered when a fierce rivalry with frustratingly brilliant fellow trainee Noah Delgado uncovers a massive, real-world conspiracy operating at the highest levels of the Academy.

As the line between training scenarios and dangerous reality blurs, Avery realizes too late that she isn't just investigating a crime—she's being meticulously framed for one. Lured into a devastating betrayal on the eve of her graduation, she is thrust into a real-world nightmare.

With a rigged system closing its jaws and the entire Bureau suddenly transformed into her hunters, Avery is faced with an impossible choice. Fight a losing battle...or run, and never look back.


Happy reading,

Jessie

Hey there!

And here's the good news—you all came through for me... but the guy in the lead also had a bit of a surge. So I'm still in second place! Which means we have three days to catch up.
