Thanks for the additions.

If you don't mind my asking, is there any particular reason why the Margaret Lake book is included?

From the looks of it everything of hers is either out from CreateSpace or a "Jobree Publishing" which has only ever put out her books, and she does not seem to have or claim any printed short story credentials or other author experience in her bio, and one of the hits that turns up upon googling is to this post in your blog which appears to suggest a certain level of acquaintanceship.

I don't mind if people have an indie friend whose work they've read and thought was really good that they wanted to share. Or even if people were randomly recommended something by the Amazon system that looked interesting enough to pass along.

But there's a reason why I do a little write-up on "why I think this particular title might be worth your time to look go look at its listing if it sounds like something you might be interested in" for each book, even if it's just a brief mention of the fact that someone once published this author and now they've gone and written something else in this genre which happens to be offered free.

And it's nice to have it disclosed upfront when there may be personal considerations involved.
