Today is Cyber Monday, and I have new releases and a new Storybundle to tell you about so you can factor those into your holiday shopping plans.
First off is a festive new novel by Kristine Grayson called Tidings of Comfort and Joy. It’s part of her Santa Series (the first three in the series are the novellas Up on the Rooftop, Visions of Sugar Plums, and Dressed in Holiday Style).
Here’s the synopsis:
Dallas Demaris unites magic with technology. She specializes in computers. But when her company orders her to go to the North Pole to help Claus & Company fix their outmoded computer system, she goes grudgingly.
Dallas hates how Santa runs his business, and she tells everyone, including Lothario Johanssen, the handsome man who invented the machine that runs the North Pole.
Lothario dedicates his long life to the machine. He knows the system better than anyone—including Dallas.
But what if Dallas discovers something that Lothario missed? Can they find a way to work together to fix the critical machine before December, before its malfunction ruins Christmas for millions of children?
Kristine Grayson once again brings romance and fantasy together as only she can do.
Supporters of the WMG Holiday Spectacular 2019 Kickstarter received the ebook edition as a reward. (Note: Even though the Holiday Spectacular is under way, you can still join in on the joy. Just click here to learn more.)
Tidings of Comfort and Joy is on sale in ebook and trade paperback if you haven’t already received your copy. Click here to learn more.
Now, if you like your fantasy a bit darker and less Christmassy, the first three books in Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s Fey series are included in the Realm of Faerie Storybundle, curated by Jamie Ferguson.
Here’s a bit from Jamie on that bundle:
Enter the Realm of Faerie, a world of beauty, danger, and enchantment. But remember the legends if you want to make it back home again…
The tales in this bundle are set in worlds like Tír na nÓg, Annwn, the Otherworld, Elfame, as well as in our own—for there are places where the boundaries between worlds grow thin, and one can pass over as easily as stepping across the threshold of a door. There are queens, mermaids, and monsters. Bargains are made, and secrets kept. Duels are fought, curses laid, and wishes sometimes come true.
You can get all 13 books (really 15, with the three Fey novels) in this bundle for the magical price of $15. Click here to learn more.
And if you like straight-up dark mysteries, we have a new release in Dean Wesley Smith’s bestselling Cold Poker Gang series.
Here’s the synopsis for Heads Up:
Retired Las Vegas Detectives Benson Cavanaugh and Bonnie State always worked alone before retiring. But joining the Cold Poker Gang task force push them to work together. Not something they easily want to do.
Searching for clues on a long cold missing person’s case, they explore a shuttered old hotel and casino and find far more than anyone expected.
And that discovery takes them on a twisted journey through the past.
Another very, very twisted Cold Poker Gang mystery novel.

I wish you lots of productive shopping and great deals this holiday season!
