Ready to be Spellbound?

“You’ve got 432 free books on your e-reader … now what?”

Hi, and welcome to SPELLBOUND MYSTERY MAGAZINE.

We’re the SPELLBOUNDERS—Duane Lindsay, Lynda McDaniel, Peter Bartram, and Emma Jameson—a group of mystery writers who’ve earned thousands of five-star reviews for our series ranging from humorous PIs and page-turning thrillers to bestselling British cozies and an Appalachian Mountain series.

We hear from our readers that our books are on thousands of to-be-read (TBR) lists. Great news … but if your TBR is like ours, it grows and grows until some very good books get buried. Which means when we’re in the mood for a good book to read, it can be next to impossible to find.

Sound familiar?
