Story Bundle - Witches Bundle

How Does StoryBundle Work?

Do you like getting a bundle of books all centered around a common theme? Do you like "spook-tacular" deals and Halloween-inspired stories? Then this month's "Witchy" Bundle is for you!

This month's StoryBunde - Witches Edition - is live!

For StoryBundle, you decide what price you want to pay. For $5 (or more, if you're feeling generous!), you'll get the basic bundle of four books in any ebook format. Here's the list:

• Waking Dead Things by Ryan M. Williams
• The Library, the Witch and the Warder by Mindy Klasky
• The Reluctant Witch by Kristen S. Walker
• By Dark by T. Thorn Coyle

But if you go to the StoryBundle Website here, you'll see that there are 12 books available. What if you want all of them? Well, if you pay the bonus price of at least $20, you get all four of the regular ebooks, plus eight more ebooks listed below, three of which are StoryBundle exclusives!

• Desperate Housewitching by Dayle A. Dermatis (StoryBundle Exclusive)
• The Unturned Stone by Sonia Orin Lyris (StoryBundle Exclusive)
• Cat Potion No. 9 and A Cauldron of Cats by Lyn Perry (my two novellas combined!)
• In Too Deep by Leah R Cutter (StoryBundle Exclusive)
• Wands and Witnesses by Laura Greenwood and Arizona Tape
• Harpy - Coven Book 1 by David Neth
• Witches: Cutter's Final Cut - Issue 4 edited by Leah R Cutter
• White Haven Witches Books 1 and 2 - Buried Magic Magic Unbound by TJ Green

This bundle is available only for a limited time (through Halloween, I think). It allows easy reading on computers, smartphones, and tablets as well as Kindle and other ereaders via file transfer, email, and other methods. You get multiple DRM-free formats (.epub, .mobi) for all books!

Here are just a few benefits StoryBundle provides:

• Get quality reads - fun books from great authors in one convenient package. Plus, it's super convenient to get these ebooks onto your reader of choice—just download and sync. Better yet, if you have a Kindle or Kindle-enabled tablet or smartphone, we can send the books directly to your device. No computer required.

• Pay what you want (minimum $5): You decide how much these fantastic books are worth. If you can only spare a little, that's fine. But if you want extra books, just beat the bonus price, and you'll get a lot of bonus books! And you can support a worthy cause at the same time. Bundle buyers have a chance to donate a portion of their proceeds to Doctors Without Borders!

• Support authors who support DRM-free books: StoryBundle is a platform for authors to get exposure for their works, both for the titles featured in the bundle and for the rest of their catalog. Supporting authors who let you read their books on any device you want—restriction free—will show everyone there's nothing wrong with ditching DRM.

Movie Monday - Louis Wain's Cats

Saw The Electrical Life of Louis Wain the other night. It was pretty good. On Amazon Prime, I think. (As you can already tell, this is less a review and more of an impression, lol. I forget where I watch movies and only post about them a few days later, simply sharing some random thoughts.)

Movie stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy. Cumberbatch was excellent and Foy was wonderful as well. (Foy played the younger Queen Elizabeth in The Crown - and the narrator in Wain, Olivia Coleman, played the older Elizabeth in Crown. Wild.)

I didn't know much about Wain until this movie and my subsequent search engine results. (Here's a good summary of his life and work at Artsy.net.) But I do remember seeing some of his cat pictures growing up. Wonderful drawings that went through several stages of development as he got older and matured as an artist.

The movie (along with his life story and artwork) is quite trippy. I think they captured his "electrical" essence quite well. Evidently, he believed that we are moved by electricity, a life force of some kind. Well, he's probably not wrong.

At any rate, if you stream movies, go ahead and catch this one online. Nothing objectionable, per se, but it is filled with tragedy. Whimsy has its moments, but ultimately life is tragic. That's the theme I caught from watching this film. I disagree with that conclusion, but it does make for some interesting discussion if you are into talking about those kinds of things. 

Did you see it yet? What were your thoughts? Happy to discuss even if we disagree. (One of his cat illos below. So fun!)

Taking Care of Business - Winter Cat Edition

It's been cold in Kansas. Super cold. Got down to single digits and with windchill even colder. Don't like it, but we can handle it. (Unlike Texas who's power grid is, um, yeah.) 

The challenge is we feed four stray cats every morning and evening that live in the field behind our house. They sometimes come inside but go crazy if we keep them inside. You've been there.

Bibbs, Mama, and Noname.

Welp. We finally got three of them inside for the past 3 nights and they eventually settled down. 

Here's a picture of Bibbs (get it? he's got a white bib for a fur coat), plus Mama (the mom of the other 2) and Noname (no name but pronounce noNAme ;) at the window wanting to go out.

Our gray outdoor cat named Bull (no relation to Mama's clan) won't come inside so we open the garage door a smidge so he can come in and find an electric warming pad in a sheltered cat bed. He's been enjoying that for the past few nights.

Even though these cats are a bit wild, they do like to hang out with us once they settle down. 

That was a surprise at 3 in the morning when one of them plopped onto our bed and started purring. I sat up to see which one, but in the dark couldn't tell. And the dang cat didn't stick around to tell me. Their tolerance of us only goes so far. They'd prefer it if we simply fed them and then went to sleep. Sorta like their own pattern.

Do you have any stray cats? Either way, here's a fun video for all cat lovers. ;-)

Stay warm!
