Fictionwise multiformat titles I have bought
I really want to have a resource thread for this. I want to buy fewer big-house 'secure' e-books and more indie/drm-free ones, but there is such a dearth of info out there about so many of them. I hope I can share the ones I have bought and liked, and others can do the same, and maybe we can all build up our Fictionwise wish lists with some non-evil indie choices. Please list novels only, if you can...
So, I'll start! Bought, read and didn't like: - Rara Ibis by T.K. Sheils (funky formatting, too hard to slog through) - Department of Spirit Research by James Patrick Cobb (Worst! Book! Ever!) Bought, read and liked: - The Five Children Omnibus by Edith Nesbit (present from my sister) - Third World Products, Book 1 by Ed Howdershelt - Murder Canyon by Joan Blacher (actually my sister's, read during week-long visit) - A Really Bad Hair Day by Rob Preece - Butterfly House by T.K. Sheils - Modem Operandi by T.K. Sheils (same as Murder Canyon, read at sister's during holiday there) Bought, am enjoying so far but have not yet finished: - The Case of the Virtuous Vampire by Monette Michaels - Rx for Murder by Renee Horowitz (really good, may buy other 2 during sale) Bought, but haven't read yet: - A Strange Valley by Darrell Bain - Just Add Trouble by Jinx Schwartz - Tornado Bait by Amy Eastlake - Blind Faith by Colin Harvey - Quilt as Desired, a Harriet Truman Mystery by Arlene Sachitano - Murder in a Nice Neighbourhood by Lora Roberts - Tree Huggers by Judy Nichols - Tea and Witchery by Marie Dees |

Oh, I checked it and it says no longer for sale. I can still download it from my bookshelf though. Well, I guess I'd better make a backup copy!

I'll add to your thread, though I'm not sure any of these are "indie". I think they were all originally "big house" publications, but they are multi-format books, which is all that I've bought at Fictionwise.
Oracle Trilogy by Mike Resnick: - Soothsayer, Oracle, Prophet - SF/Fantasy series about a woman who sees & influences the future - Bought the first book and then went back to buy the rest of the trilogy Jean Lorrah Collected by Jean Lorrah - A collection of short stories; I prefer novels, but love this author Nessie and the Viking Gold by Lois June Wickstrom & Jean Lorrah Nessie and the Celtic Maze by Lois June Wickstrom & Jean Lorrah - Two children's books by a favorite author; haven't read yet Door through Space by Marion Zimmer Bradley & Elisabeth Waters - A re-read of a CLASSIC SF novel; enjoyed it very much Ashes to Ashes by Lillian Stewart Carl - A mystery novel; haven't read yet ---------------------------------------------- Update: Ah heck! I wish I hadn't gone over to Fictionwise to list the books I'd already bought. I got all excited about the 40%-off sale and bought 3 more books: * Magnificat by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro * Magic's Song: Tales of the Harper Mage by Laura J. Underwood * Beneath a Rising Moon by Keri Arthur Last edited by Elsi; 12-14-2008 at 06:32 PM. |
