SPECIAL HALLOWEEN FEATURE! Serial Sleuths benefits Doctors Without Borders!

A GOOD SCARE FOR A GREAT CAUSE!

Independent mystery imprint Adian Press is pleased to announce the publication of Serial Sleuths, Volume 1: Haunted. Just in time for Halloween, this collection features five exciting series sleuths in tales that will chill, charm, amuse, and downright terrify readers.  Net proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.

“As a mystery novelist and book blogger, I’ve met some terrific writers whose work I was eager to showcase,” says publisher Jen Blood, proprietor of BloodWrites.com and author of the Erin Solomon mysteries. “They have very different styles, but their sleuths are all engaging and unique. When I proposed the idea of a collection of short stories with ghostly or paranormal overtones, they were very enthusiastic.”

The contributors proved equally keen on the idea of donating the proceeds to a charity.  “After a brief discussion, we settled on Doctors Without Borders, a worthy cause we all support,” says Blood. “It’s a great opportunity all around. Readers get an inexpensive way to sample five new series detectives, while the writers, all indie-published, have an opportunity to cross-promote their work. And everyone involved can feel good about supporting a renowned organization that does critically important work around the globe.”
