A Gathering of Tales

A Gathering of Tales is an annual membership where you, dear reader, get short stories emailed to you, as well as access to a super secret password protected page that archives all the short stories you've received.

These short stories are written by award-winning, bestselling authors Kimberly Kinrade and/or Dmytry Karpov, a husband/wife writing team with over 13 books to their name collectively, and counting.

For one flat rate, you not only get 4 short stories immediately, but also a free copy of Kimberly Kinrade's heartbreaking collection, Bits of You & Pieces of Me.

In addition, as membership numbers grow, you will get more and more stories, until at least 250 members are recruited, at which point you will forever and always (or at least to the end of the subscription term) get 3 new short stories a month.

After you've paid on PayPal, make sure to click on "Return to Daring Books LLC" in the bottom right corner in order to finish subscribing.

EXCLUSIVE GIVEAWAY

All new subscribers who sign up before March 20th will be entered automatically into an exclusive giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a signed paperback copy of THE FORBIDDEN TRILOGY -- Kimberly Kinrade's award-winning upper young adult/new adult paranormal series. If we hit 250 subscribers before then, we'll give away TWO signed copies, so share this with your friends!

How This Works

Read stories from your favorite genres and series. 

Get More Stories!

When A Gathering of Tales has 1 member: You will get 1 additional short story this year

When we get 10 members: You will get 1 new short story quarterly

When we get 50 members: You will get 1 new short story each month

When we get 150 members: You will get 2 short stories each month

When we get 250 members and beyond: You will get three short stories each month, for the duration of the membership

So, of course, the more people you tell about this, and the more who subscribe, the more stories everyone gets, until we max out at 3 per month. That's our limit if we want any hope of also writing books. 

Mature Content

Warning. Some short stories will feature sexual content. They will be clearly marked as such. If you do not wish to read these, just delete them. 

The stories will be anywhere from 500 to 5,000 words, but will mostly fall in the mid-range. You will get first access to these stories, before they are published anywhere else. They will be in a variety of genres, including romance, fantasy, feel good/heartwarming, mystery/thriller and horror.

When you click on paypal and pay, you will be directed to a top-secret sign up page. At that point, you will have the option of clicking on your preferred genres. ALL subscribers will get ALL stories, but we will do our best to consider what the majority of our readers are interested in reading.

Occasionally, we might even get you involved in the story telling!

There are three membership types. They are basically the same thing. The Patron Member is you saying you love us so much, and think our work is so brilliant, that you feel compelled to donate a few extra bucks to support our insane habit to write away our days. We thank you for this. The Diamond Member is you saying you really, really love us. And as a thank you for your love and contribution, we'll feature you on our official Acknowledgments page. 

Both Patron and Diamond members get entered into giveaways, but only Diamond members get extra giveaways.

As a member, you are welcome to forward your new story to a friend to share, but they must not share beyond that unless they, too, wish to become a member. Also, please protect the sanctity of this experience and do not share the passwords or link for the email sign up page. Let's keep it fun for all, okay? Thanks!

Brooke Bumgardner

Kimberly Kinrade never ceases to amaze me. She is able to take any genre and make it her own.

Keith Massey

Kinrade is a first rate writer who draws you in quickly to the world she paints.

L.M. Stull

Kimberly Kinrade is a genius. Simply put. Bits of You & Pieces of Me is a work of literary art.

Erin Maurer

This erotic short story is all kinds of hot.

Sharon Hughes

From the first sentence, I was hooked!

Brick ONeil

Like an intimate conversation with an old friend. Part poetry, part confessional, part writers anthology, Kimberly Kinrade obviously pours her heart and soul into this work.

Erin Maurer

I adored every single inch of text.

Katie John

This was as if Kimberly Kinrade had ripped out her very beautiful and eloquent heart and presented it in front of you. It was a very moving collection of stories and poems; which had a terrible sadness attached to them.

I write fantasy—be it urban, dark or epic.

I heard the siren call of the muses at an early age and penned my first masterpiece when I was twelve-years-old. Okay, masterpiece may be stretching it, but I didn’t give up. At the ripe age of sixteen I began an epic fantasy that would someday leave all epic fantasies green with envy. It now sits in my computer, 80,000 words into it, and only one third complete. I might someday finish it.

Fortunately, by the time I entered college, I learned the art of outlining, thus making the process of actually completing a novel much more likely. Words have always held the power to seduce me, which is why it’s no surprise that I’m now co-writing the Fallen Trilogy with my wife, Kimberly Kinrade, and also have a dark fantasy and epic fantasy burning a hole in my writer’s brain.

I believe writers should never stop learning and studying their craft, and we should always be open to the call of the muse, wherever it leads.

Born in the Ukraine and raised in Canada, I now live with my beautiful wife, where I try to remember my Russian and my wife tries to remember her French and together we try to remember to feed our three daughters, two dogs and two kittens.
