Betty Bolté, author of Under Lock and Key said it best regarding her new paranormal book (available in November’s book bag) when she said;
“I love reading paranormal fiction because it involves a mix of possibility and probability, unlike other genres. I like to think of these kinds of stories as eating different kinds of candy. There’s the peppermint parts, the spooky, spicy concepts of ghosts lingering to help or seek revenge. The butterscotch bits, where the characters comfort and support each other through the challenges they face. The chocolate kisses of the underlying natural romance between different couples as a counterpoint to the supernatural elements. The tangy licorice bites of the magical and mystical elements. So it’s like grabbing a handful of candy from an immense jar of mixed goodies and savoring them when I read a ghost story or one involving witches, or best of all both.”
Every month, BEDSIDE READING on the download’s hospitality and meeting industry partners will offer six-to-eight complimentary eBooks and audiobooks from a curated list of titles only available through Glose.com, a social reading platform, designed so that readers can access their eBooks and audiobooks on all devices.
“We are excited to share our treats with everyone this Halloween,” said Jane Ubell-Meyer, founder of Bedside Reading. “Our Bedside Reading on the download program is the best way to share our book candy with everyone in a safe and green way. We are excited to share our new product with everyone on this fun day.”
