I have to head out early today, so just a quick dip into the KDP Select exclusive-or-else slushpile, which thankfully is much smaller than yesterday.
Here's the most significant-looking stuff, not sorted since I want to shower/eat/not miss my bus. But there are some decent backlist thrillers and romance and YA SF. Also, science!
And some of the stuff from yesterday may still be free (that giant lot of Scott Nicholson freebies, to which he seems to have added an omnibus of novels including J.R. Rain's works).
Back in the mid-90s, James Finn Garner wrote a bunch of "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" for Wiley, which were also translated and printed in French. He now offers his humorous novel:
Honk Honk, My Darling: A Rex Koko, Private Clown Mystery
John Yunker has written a couple of specialist books on translation and globalization strategies. He offers a literary fiction novel starring a biologist who comes across a mysterious stranger, which looks to have garnered favourable reviews from local newspapers included in the blurb:
The Tourist Trail: A Novel
Big-6-paperbacked fellow MR member author Paul Levine offers three of his mystery/thrillers, including a novel in his currently-published Jake Lassiter legal thriller series:
Linkage for all three, watch out for the Prime-Lending free volume.
Barbara Bartholomew offers 3 books, including a children's picture book and a 1985 Signet-paperbacked YA time travel adventure and its sequel:
Linkage for all three
Ann Charles says that the romantic suspense with a touch of supernatural novel which she offers was the winner of two 2010 (specified) awards from the Romance Writers of America award:
Nearly Departed in Deadwood (Deadwood Mystery Series)
Ian Woodhead (
ISFDB entry) offers an omnibus of three horror novels:
Death Throes
Previously-featured David Bain (
ISFDB entry) offers a short tale printed in the small press anthology "EROTIC FANTASY: TALES OF THE PARANORMAL...":
Phone Sex on The Nightside
Gerri Russell offers her 2009 Dorchester/Leisure-published historical romance, whose rights reverted to her after their royalty-non-payment fiasco:
To Tempt A Knight (Brotherhood of the Scottish Templars)
Brenda Novak re-offers her 1999 HarperTorch-paperbacked historical pirate romance:
Of Noble Birth
Cory Andrews offers a book whose blurb says it includes interviews with notable comedians such as Monty Python member Eric Idle:
Laugh Lines: Conversations with Comedians
Nebula award-winning author Eric James Stone repeats his sf short story:
In Memory
I don't know how good this is, but this is a new-ish corrected edition of Nikola Tesla's:
My Inventions with illustrations added. If you don't already know who he is, I despair for humanity since you likely use at least one of his inventions every single damn day unless you live in a shack in the woods with no electricity or long-distance communications ability for maintaining human contact, in which case you wouldn't be seeing this at all.
Happy reading, if indeed you find something you think you might like.
