I'm hoping that eventually Ms. Paxson is moved to entrust her own out-of-print backlist novels to the MZB Literary Works Trust to put up on Fictionwise. I actually like a lot of her stuff (the non-Arthurian Celtic/Germanic-historically-based things, anyway) much more than MZB's, overall.

Anyway, minor updates now that I've finished and turned in my assignment and have some tiny amount of leisure time before the Next Thing Due.

Patricia Rockwell has some sort of PhD and teaches Communications at a university. Educational publisher Pearson (who give us those FT Press and New Word City freebies every week) once published a non-fic textbook thing of hers. This is her vaguely related fiction work which seems rather on-topic for the current US political season: Stump Speech Murder (A Pamela Barnes Acoustic Mystery)

Peter Michael Robinson offers some sort of literary suspense 1996-Simon & Schustered, which quotes a lot of praise from UK newspapers in its blurb: Daniel's Dream

Samhain-published T.J. Michaels offers a novel-length paranormal romantic action suspense which she warns has explicit sex, language, and violence: On the Prowl

Brendan P. Myers who has minor (ISFDB credits) for shorts in small-press anthologies offers a probably-horror short: The Intersection

Betty Jo Schuler who wrote a couple of YA things for Bantam offers a BWLPP published probably-romance which she says is suitable for mature young adults: Impossible Dreams

Five Star-published Libby Malin who is an Edgar-nominee under her Libby Sternberg name (she wrote that genderflipped Jane Eyre riff in old Hollywood) offers a romantic comedy with a medieval history professor: Aefle and Gisela

Previously-included LGBT community journalist Charles Ortleb returns with a 1999-Rubicon small-press published satirical novel about early media coverage of the AIDS epidemic. He quotes praise for his career from Rolling Stone and for his novel from the Boston Globe: Iron Peter

Total-E-Bound author Jude Mason offers an m/m erotic romance from BWLPP: I'd Die For You (Slippery When Wet)

Amanda McIntyre offers her specialty-imprint Decadent Publishing paranormal romantic suspense novella: By the Light of the Silvery Moon

Dee Dawning is published by Siren, a small specialty erotic romance imprint I came across when looking up stuff for the All Romance eBooks Xmas countdown giveaway last year. He offers an f/m romantic comedy which may or may not contain erotic content: Sister Laurel & the Atheist

Anne Beidler's somewhat weird and possibly horrific take on the events that apparently inspired Moby Dick is published by the same Coffeetown Press as that historical Constantinople novel above. She says she has a doctorate in educational research and is also a history buff: Eating Owen

Luc Reid has minor ISFDB credits and he offers a supernatural fantasy/horror about a generational curse: Family Skulls

Edward W. Robertson has minor ISFDB credits and offers two novel-length works; an sf apocalytic medical thriller and sf space-hopping immortal: Linkage for both

Radial City is apparently some kind of speculative dystopian litfic-looking online multimedia project which has gotten minor praise from some random person at the University of Swansea. Whatever, it's been a long day and I like their "Bureau for Unstable Urbanism" publisher name and thus I include this for the lulz: A Beginner's Guide to Radial City

To be honest, this guy's Wikipedia entry looks a lot like the sort of thing people enter for themselves to puff up their profile. But apparently he's some kind of controversial podcaster (and award-winning bestselling author and composer and screenwriter and TV show host and keyword spammer, etc.) so in case you're morbidly curious like I am, here's his apocalyptic supernatural thriller: Infinity

This author looks totally self-pub. But the late Tudor period of English history is one of my favourites and her book looks totally cracktastic and I'm a sucker for AU, so I'm downloading her alternate history take on: Catherine the Inquisitor (The Six Lives of Henry the VIII) She's also got a story about "Henry the VIII and the Zombie Army" which I'm kind of hoping will be a slushpile offering one of these days.

That's all, folks! If anything else pops up, it goes into tomorrow's pile if it's still free by then.
