Weekly News & Blog Round-Up: October 2, 2022

Happy October!

The month of October is a celebration of all things spooky around here, and that means it’s time to read things that make us yell, scream, shudder and cringe. To help you do that a little easier, we’ve discounted all our thriller/horror titles for the entire month! All ebook titles by Alex Westhaven are at least 40% off the regular retail price, and two titles, Canvas and Jack (required reading for Halloween!) are free until October 31st!

You can find all of Alex’s ebooks using the links below to your favorite shops. We’re adding books to Google Play one by one, so check back weekly if you want to purchase there and don’t see the title you’re looking for:
Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | Smashwords | Audible | iTunes | Google Play

Amazon readers may not see the free price for Jack in the Kindle store right away, but you can download a free copy from Bookfunnel here (and you can join Alex’s newsletter too while you’re there, if you’d like)!

If you aren’t familiar with the Bookfunnel app, many authors use it for giveaways, but the app itself includes a really nice ereader that is incredibly customizable and easy to use. And you can read any epub file in it, so it makes it easy to buy directly from your favorite authors and smaller booksellers. The app is free in your preferred app store, so if you don’t have a copy already, download it and your free copy of Jack to try it out.

Want to write something creepy instead? Here’s your free writing prompt of the month:
Someone has just finished the most delightful conversation with another person only to find out the person they were talking to has been dead for quite a long time. And that person was decidedly *not* a nice person while they were alive.
