From the press release:
In July 2013, eight of the most successful independent authors in the United Kingdom had an idea. That idea was to release an omnibus edition of eight complete novels and novellas for a limited period only, with all profits being donated to Centrepoint, a charity that supports homeless children and young people in the UK.
The box set will be released on the Kindle on Thursday 22nd August 2013, and will be free for the first five days, to push it up Amazon’s lists, at which point it will revert to its normal price of $5.99 / £3.95. The title will be removed from sale on Friday 22nd November 2013.
People who get the book for free are encouraged to make a donation to the project’s Just Giving Page.
