Doorway to Destiny (A Thirteen-Book Fantasy and Science Fiction Adventure Box Set)

iBooks has done it again, with a month-long international promotion of box set books for only 99c! I love iBooks! I was invited to participate in this promo, and of course I jumped at the chance. I teamed up with emerging fantasy author Vanessa Finaughty to create Doorway to Destiny (A Thirteen-Book Fantasy and Science Fiction Adventure Box Set). It has four of my series starters and the second book in those series: The Queen’s Blade, Demon Lord, The Cyber Chronicles and The Broken World. Vanessa Finaughty contributed two anthologies: Dragon Kin & other fantasy stories and Sorcery & Subterfuge, and her Legends of Origin trilogy. For iBooks readers, the new iOS8 operating system, launched on September 19, comes with the iBooks app pre-bundled.

Around 100 multi-author box sets are being promoted at iBooks between September 18 and October 14, so this is a great time for iBooks readers to load up their iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads with excellent books in a wide range of genres. 40 of the books came from Smashwords.com, the world’s leading indie author publisher and distributer, giving readers a chance to discover exciting books by talented independent authors.

Congratulations to all my fellow authors whose box sets made it into the iBooks promotion! Thank you to Mark Coker, Smashwords and iBooks for being the best in the industry and having the foresight to promote indie authors! I’m blown away time and again by the amazing opportunities they give me and other indie authors. If you’re a new author looking for the best places to publish your books, I highly recommend Smashwords.com and iBooks!
