So sorry about that. For some reason I read that as self-promoted books.

Free spy thriller today from Amazon: Thursday at Noon by William F. Brown, first published in hardback by St. Martin's Press, 1987. UK
Here are contemporary review excerpts: The Orlando Sentinel: “Brown’s novel is a rainy-day adventure with each chapter ending with a cliff-hanging ending.” The New Yorker: “A thriller in the purest cliffhanger vein… Mr. Brown’s technique is flawless. It could only have been learned by way of a thousand Saturday afternoon matinees.” The Newport News VA Daily Press: “A thrilling tale of espionage. His novel never stands still for a second… An espionage thriller about a Cairo missile crisis you’ll want to read right through in one sitting… Brown ought to start writing the film script now.” |

I consider self-published novels previously published by major publishers to be fair game, especially when an internet search turns up more information and reviews. A few of these self-pubs once resided in my bookcases.
Do you agree these books are an exception to the self-published rule? |

Previously published by Avon/HarperCollins, and free on Amazon US:
Miss Zukas and the Raven's Dance by Jo Dereske Publisher's Weekly: Librarian Wilhelmina "Helma" Zukas confronts murder in Bellehaven, Wash., where interminable rain is a running gag as well as an appropriate background to her fitful romance with the chief of police. In her fourth adventure, Helma's New Age boss manipulates her into completing the catalogue at a wealthy eccentric's Native American cultural center when the prior cataloguer (whose sleazy past includes lack of proper library certification) is found dead in a bathroom stall. Despite a contrived finale in which Helma temporarily steps out of character, readers will gladly suspend disbelief because of her unwavering integrity. Helma's investigation seems secondary to Dereske's (Miss Zukas and the Library Murders) gentle chiding of the library world with true-to-life dialogue and personnel. Consistently straightforward, no-nonsense prose is a welcome bonus in this cozy. ETA: author's name Last edited by mitford13; 01-20-2013 at 06:01 PM. |
