Feature still free, minor updates below. Skipped lots of repeats, and it looks like all the Paypal-refugee porno people were saving their stuff as weekend specials.
Fun fact: lactation/breast-feeding erotica (at least the photo/video version) is actually banned in Canada. I'm not sure exactly why, but it's a relatively recent ban that left a lot of media-commentator pundits baffled as to whatever reasoning was behind it, IIRC. But in case it's a reading kink of yours, you can get some free from Amazon today. I do not vouch in any way for the actual quality or enjoyability of what you get. Caveat 1-clicker.
Not sorted, though I did move some of the more significant things to the top and stick the really marginal stuff at the bottom.
Susie Bright is a moderately well-known US media personality who is a cultural commentator and feminist sex educator (
Wikipedia entry). She offers a collection of quasi-academic cultural/political essays:
Susie Bright's Sexual Reality
Minnesota-educated Beijing expatriate Chinese-literary-magazine published Lisa Zhang Wharton's historical literary fiction novel based on the doomed 1989 Chinese pro-democracy movement is a featured repeat, because when I originally included it, IIRC someone was disappointed at not being able to pick it up, having only seen the listing after it expired:
Last Kiss in Tiananmen Square
Fellow MR member author Joan Hall Hovey offers her 1991 Zebra-published suspense/maybe-horror-ish debut thriller which she says is one of her unspecified award-winners:
Listen to the Shadows
Gary C. King offers a true crime account about a 1984 Yale student murder, originally published by Kensington's Pinnacle imprint in 1994 under the title Web of Deceit, which he has now changed to:
Murder in Room 305
M. Ruth Myers had a number of novels published by Dell and Ballantine back in the 80s. She offers a Depression-era set PI murder mystery, which the blurb says if you like Robert B. Parker's stuff, you should give a try to:
No Game for a Dame (Maggie Sullivan mysteries)
Previously-included minor ISFDBed Simon Kewin returns after a long hiatus with another collection of multi-genre speculative fiction short stories which he says includes some of his published ones:
Life Cycles
This mini-collection includes a story by Graham Masterson, who was formerly Dorchester-published before they imploded due to not paying their authors:
HORROR EXPRESS VOLUME ONE
Previously small-pressed-turned-indie mystery author Connie Shelton offers some writing advice:
Show, Don't Tell: Five Secrets to Solving the #1 Problem in Fiction Writing
Fellow MR member author Nigel Bird offers a collection of his crime stories, which includes a story reprinted in the Mammoth Best British Crime Stories 8 (may be a repeat, but it's old enough that I don't have it in the newer just-for-KDP auxiliary account):
With Love And Squalor
Previously-included UK small-pubbed John McKenzie who had one of his works adapted for BBC Radio returns with a kids/YA fantasy tale inspired by Tibetan legends:
In the Land of the Demon Masters
Previously-included probably self-pubbed Cindy Bouchard has another volume in her BC set historical family saga, which may be a repeat. But it's old enough that I don't have it in the new account and if you've started collecting these late, you probably don't have it either:
For All We Have and Are 1914 (Princes of the North)
It occurs to me that I have no idea what probably-theatre-person-whose-autobiography-was-reviewed-by-Time-Magazine Donald Newlove actually writes since I've never bothered to look inside and his blurbs tend to be dadaistically unhelpful in deciding category. But here's another of whatever it is he writes if you've been collecting them:
In Search of Lost Jamestown (Handbook of the Soul for Writers and Readers)
Formerly Samhain-published-turned-indie Melissa Schroeder offers a paranormal romance with an archaeologist in it:
Callum (The Cursed Clan)
Probably self-pub-but-I've-included-her-because-I-like-stuff-with-archaeologists-in-it Susan Parry returns with the 1st in her series of:
Corpse Way (The Yorkshire Dales Mystery Series)
Mike Dennis has had a book out from L&L Dreamspell, a minor imprint which is available via Fictionwise. Here is his noir short story:
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE EYES
Kim Robinson offers some kind of multi-generational historical family saga (may contain romantic content) that was 2005 small-pressed by Whiskey Creek, another minor Fictionwise-available imprint:
The Roux in the Gumbo
Minor ISFDBed Benjamin X. Wretland offers another two in his supernatural novella series:
The Retribution of Nathan James (Sketches from the Spanish Mustang) and
The Five Fortunes of Fulano (Sketches from the Spanish Mustang
Rachel Ann Nunes offers a contemporary romance out from small faith-based press Covenant Communications in 2001:
This Time Forever
Phaze or Loose-ID published Jude Mason offers an m/m romance short (may or may not also have erotic content) which ties into a series co-written with also Phaze-published Jenna Byrnes, via Books We Love/BWLPP:
Livin' on a Prayer (Slippery When Wet)
Katherine Storm claims to be the self-pub pseudonym of Avon published historical romance writer Karen Ranney. Here is her non-romantic:
Murder by Mortgage (Murder Pride Murders)
I don't know how good this food self-help guide is, but I can certainly agree with the first part of the sentiment expressed in the title and perhaps you might find it of use if you do as well:
What The Heck Am I Tasting? Smart Wine Drinking For Less.
This is self-pub, but the premise in the blurb looks fun and the sample prose, while not great, is at least reasonably grammatical and coherent, and I like the idea of "Evil Efficiency Consultant":
Consultation with a Vampire (How to Succeed in Evil)
I'm just including this for 4th best set of brazen author lies in the bio/product description, and he seems to be a fellow Canadian as well:
Let Me Put My Poems In You (Engage Books)
Happy reading, if you happen to be that one poster who wanted to try that Tiananmen Square novel and happen not to miss it this time around.
