We're very excited to present our second offering, The Second Degree Bundle, which showcases seven fantastic ebooks from six indie authors. In this bundle, we're featuring protagonists from both sides of the law, including a detective, a journalist, a lawyer, a petty criminal, a normal guy and a serial killer.

Just like in our debut offering, The Big Bang Bundle, you still get to decide how much of your purchase you want to go to supporting indie authors, and you can still choose for a portion of the proceeds to go to one of two fantastic charities. All our books are DRM free and can be read on just about any ereader, tablet, smartphone or laptop.

Collectively, our authors featured in this bundle have been nominated as a 2012 Best Indie Book finalist, won a Pulitzer Prize, had multiple plays commissioned and produced, been an elected official (more than one!) and been personally endorsed by wrestling legend and author Mick Foley. The books include:

• Dire Means by Geoffrey Neil
• Black Bird by Greg Enslen
• Blood Red Turns Dollar Green by Paul O'Brien
• Diary of a Small Fish by Pete Morin
• The Marinara Murders by Erik Hanberg

If you pay more than the bonus price of just $7, you get two bonus books, which are:

• Project Moses by Robert Lowe
• The Saints go Dying, the prequel to The Marinara Murders by Erik Hanberg

Why StoryBundle? Here are just a few benefits StoryBundle provides.

• Get quality reads: We've chosen works from five excellent indie authors to bundle together in one convenient package.
• Pay what you want: You decide how much five fantastic indie books are worth to you. If you can only spare a little, that's fine! You'll still get access to five thrilling titles.
• Support indie authors: StoryBundle is a platform for indie authors to get exposure for their works, both for the titles featured in the bundle and for the rest of their catalog. Plus, when you're supporting indie authors you're supporting the little guy or gal.
• Give to worthy causes: Bundle buyers have a chance to donate a portion of their proceeds to charity. For the first bundle, we're featuring MightyWriters and Trees for the Future.
• Receive extra books: If you beat our bonus price, you're not just getting five books, you're getting seven. And best of all, you're getting a prequel (The Saints Go Dying) to one of the books (The Marinara Murders), and you're getting a book (Project Moses) nominated as a 2012 Best Indie Book finalist.
