Hello!

Big news. We have a fantastic new subscription system set up for our Singles Club so that you now only have to make one payment to get hold of 12 stories. But how to go through the ins and outs of paypal payment systems without boring the dirtbox off you, I don't know. Probably the best thing to do is to head over to the relevant page on our site, where I've tried to give a brief, but to the point explanation, and to take it from there. The important things to know are that:

1. Subscribing saves you the trouble of going to the site every month to get your fix of superb ebook literature - we'll just email you the files every month.
2. Subscribing (so long as enough people do it) will enable us to start giving our authors money up front on for each story. Yes! We are going to pay people to write short stories. It's like the golden days of the 1920s. Only they'll be in electronic book format instead of Strand magazine… Anyway! You get the idea. This is a mighty fine way to keep authors doing what they do best - entertaining you.
3. It costs £12 a year, or £1 a month, or less than a meal in Pizza Express. Unless you have a voucher.

The first story we'll send in the new subscription regime is The Bunker by Samuel Wright. Quite a few people will probably already know how well Samuel can wrangle a sentence, having read his first published work, Best Friend. The Bunker gives you more of the same. Which is to say, completely different and original writing. This time the story's about two friends spending the night in a World War II Bunker, and doing things they maybe shouldn't and definitely should. We're still selling the story individually too on the site, and on Jeff Bezos' Hitler, Hitler, spit, spit hate box.

Meanwhile, one more push for our subscription service. When you subscribe we'll also send you a completely free surprise book. One that totally rules. Who said capitalism doesn't do good things for us?
