Wisdom of Fools: Stories of Extraordinary Lives by Phil Harvey, a mini-collection of literary fiction shorts, mostly excerpted from his previously-trad-published novels, but there's one standalone story which appeared in Colere in 1992 (which appears to be the cultural journal for Coe College students, and not the namesake Brazilian fashion publication).

Phil Harvey’s short stories won the Antietam Review award and have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. His fiction has appeared in over a dozen literary magazines including Phantasmagoria, The MacGuffin, Natural Bridge, and the Dos Passos Review. His first novel, Show Time, was hailed as “a thinking reader’s thriller and a thoroughly entertaining read.” Follow a hard-driving smoke jumper, seven starving reality game-show participants, a virginal surrogate mother, and an enemy combatant in this collection of nuanced contemporary tales.

Frozen Music: 20th Anniversary Edition by Michael J. Vaughan, a literary drama novel centred around a classical musical group, originally out from small press Northwest Pub in 1995.

The more Michael Moss refuses to watch his conductor, Amy Fine, the more she becomes determined to make him watch. The ensuing battle of wills - and his curious flare for public soakings - threatens to pull Michael out of the deep freeze, and force him to exorcise Stacy Wilkes, the tempestuous alcoholic who turned his heart to stone. A 20th anniversary edition of the classic novel by the author of Gabriella's Voice and Operaville. Award Winner, 2014 San Francisco Book Festival.

Shadows in the Sun by Christopher Nicole

Back in 1918, the arms dealer James Martingell received a knighthood for equipping and supplying the British Army during the war.
Now it wants to close him down - with the coming of peace there can be no more gun-running.
Poverty is a far from a welcome prospect, so Martingell resumes negotiations with his old friend and ally Sheikh Azam ud-Ranatullah, thereby branding himself a traitor to his country.
Major Richard Elligan is dispatched to bring him down.
But he complicates matters by falling in love with Martingell's daughter, Lanne.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Never Such Innocence by Nicola Thorne, 1st in her Askham Chronicles quadrilogy of sweeping Edwardian historical family saga novels set around the turn of the 20th century in Egypt and Sudan, starring the eponymous aristocratic British family in the declining days of the British empire, originally out from HarperCollins in 1985.

The year is 1898; the city is Cairo – light-hearted, cosmopolitan, prosperous and secure after years of enforced British rule.

To Cairo comes the haughty Lady Askham, with her daughters Flora and Melanie, to inspect Harry Lighterman, a lieutenant in the Lancers and friend of her younger son Bosco. Harry has asked for Melanie’s hand in marriage. The Lightermans are not at all the kind of family the proud and wealthy Askhams are accustomed to marrying into, Harry’s father being a member of the ‘shopocracy’, the newly ennobled aristocracy whose fortunes are based on trade. However, Harry appears successfully to have overcome the disadvantages, in Askham eyes, of his origins. The marriage is approved and takes place hurriedly, as the Lancers are due to join the forces gathering at Omdurman, fifteen hundred miles further south and a two weeks’ journey away.

But even before Omdurman, which heralds much of the misfortune that subsequently overtakes the Askham family, disaster strikes. Melanie is disenchanted with her new husband after a honeymoon on the Nile, and Lady Askham becomes the unwitting victim of blackmail because of her apparently innocent involvement with a young cavalry officer during an expedition to the desert. Lady Askham is forced to return to England to avoid disgrace, and her son Bosco, as he travels south to join the troops, vows vengeance.

The way he achieves this revenge and the subsequent intrigues which follow the Askham family back to England and well into the next century form the nucleus of this engrossing novel which takes place in Egypt, the Sudan, the United States and England during the years 1898 to 1915.

Sword of State: The Forging by Richard Woodman

Historical Novel - Endeavour Press reprint

Winter 1644, the Tower of London.
Colonel George Monck is confined to his prison chamber in St Thomas's tower, charged with high treason.
A brilliant soldier, admiral and military governor, Monck joined the King's men in besieging Nantwich.
But the Parliamentary side's more disciplined army successfully routed them, and Monck was thrown in jail.
Brooding and despondent, Monck's troubles look to intensify when he starts an affair with Anne Ratsford, a married woman who is caring for him in The Tower.
In an age when adultery is not only a mortal sin, but a capital offence, Monck is not only risking his reputation, but his life.

The Jewelled Snuff Box by Alice Chetwynd Ley

Regency Romance

Jane Spencer is amongst a group of travellers who are forced to delay their journey due to a snowstorm.
Their stage coach is unable to continue its journey through the storm and its passengers are forced to get out and walk to a nearby inn.
Jane comes across a unconscious man, the victim of highwaymen, lying half dead in the snow.
The man awakes not knowing who he is and is unable to recognize his only possession: a magnificent jewel-encrusted snuff box.
Jane nurses him and helps him return to London. But, just as she starts to care for him, he disappears just as suddenly as he appeared in her life, leaving only his snuff box in her possession.
On discovering a letter hidden in a secret compartment in the snuff box, she entrusts her lawyer to the care of it. Little does she know that this letter holds the key to a growing mystery.
