The reader should find a good story if we did our job well. <br /><br />BTW, Cara and I are in Season of Magic, a holiday anthology, too!Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-29828887643000444752014-11-09T10:24:05.368-05:002014-11-09T10:24:05.368-05:00As an author, being in these bundles, is a wonderf...As an author, being in these bundles, is a wonderful thing!

But I see individual authors putting their first books free and hitting the best-seller lists or people discounting books for $0.99 for a limited time. Seriously, if I want an author, I will spend the money- even for a hardcover. But I think the idea behind these bundles is to get some cross promotion. We can't all be household names to everyone and if someone buys a bundle because of D'Ann or you and then likes my story and buys my books- it's a win in my mind.<br /><br />Thanks Tina! I know that feeling! The books seem to grow exponentially!Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-49207212625304579082014-11-09T09:46:10.358-05:002014-11-09T09:46:10.358-05:00Great choices, Melissa - my TBR pile keeps getting...Great choices, Melissa - my TBR pile keeps getting bigger and bigger. :)Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-73604921468354956502014-11-09T09:41:53.630-05:002014-11-09T09:41:53.630-05:00Entertaining post.

Sunday morning. ;)<br />I also have purchased an anthology knowing only one or two authors in the collection. It's how I discovered the fabulously talented Ann Mayburn.<br />Best of luck with your endeavors! Lynda Baileyhttp://www.lyndabailey.netnoreply@blogger.com
