BEN WOLVERTON!

Nightingale, (sci-fi) by David Farland. David is Ben's dad, with two books to buy. Nightingale, a speculative fiction book about a young man raised in foster care who learns he can sing and affect evil, and Million Dollar Outlines, a nonfiction book to help writers learn to write better outlines. The books start at $6.99 in pretty much every format.

Books by Briane Pagel. Pagel is the indie author of books like
Eclipse, a harrowing sci-fi story about an astronaut who wanted nothing more than to reach the stars, and did so -- but it took murder to get there. Or did it?
the After: Saoirse's life didn't begin until she died in a plane crash. But with everything perfect in the After, why is she so unhappy? With the help of a possibly-unfriendly William Howard Taft, Saoirse looks for, in her afterlife, the meaning she never had in her life.
The Scariest Things, You CAN'T Imagine: short horror stories that will leave you lying awake at night wishing you'd stuck with something lighter. Try "The Grave-Robbers," in which New Sam learns that there have been a lot of prior Sams born to Mom and Dad. And they're all down in the catacombs...
All these books and more, just $0.99 on your Kindle.
