Feature title still free, some others may or may not be unexpired, updates go here:
Former Scotland on Sunday article writer and current Zen monk Barry Graham is back with a 1991 Bloomsbury-published urban literary fiction novel about personal tensions surrounding a boxing championship match set in the dystopia that was apparently Scotland in the 80s:
The Champion's New Clothes
Dominic Green (
ISFDB) offers what looks like a comedic sf about a hidden alien colony:
Saucerers and Gondoliers
Jonny Murdoc has had short stories in anthologies from specialty erotic romance publishers Cleis and Ravenous Romance and offers a short erotic tale which he says was included in Best Gay Erotica 2011:
Bodies in Motion: A Gay Erotic Story
Previously-title-featured Canadian Governor General Award for Children's Literature winner Arthur Slade's Norse-mythology based YA dark fantasy/horror adventure trilogy is a repeat, but IIRC it expired early last time so here it is again if you missed it:
Northern Frights (Omnibus)
Stuff from newbie small Deadly Niche Press has previously been included, so here's another, Carol Shenold's:
Privy to Murder (a Tali Cates Paranormal Mystery)
I've previously included stuff from self-pub Lyn Horner, who openly admitted that the award nominations she garnered were for her unpublished manuscripts. I appreciate authors being upfront and honest instead of making vague best-selling award-winner claims and saying that people from top publishing houses have praised their works, but being unable to actually back that up (and if they really thought your work that good, would they not have by now printed you instead of sending what was probably a politely-worded rejection letter?). So here's another in her paranormal historical romance series if you got the last one:
Darlin' Druid (Texas Druids)
Previously-included small-pressed Barbara Taylor Sissel offers a literary suspense novel about crime and redemption and the human character:
The Ninth Step
ISFDBed horror writer Jeremy C. Shipp offers another collection of his shorts:
Attic Clowns, Vol. 4
Canadian writer of economics articles Alex Carrick and Donna Carrick return with more self-pub works for your collection of such:
Two Scoops is Just Right: 78 Funny Original Short Stories (Scoops Series) and :
The Noon God, some sort of litfic suspense involving an immortal, a murder, and personal enlightenment re: toxic family situations.
Anne Digby has a really messed up listing where the paperback editions claim to be works by Harry Harrison. But in any case, in 1982 St. Martin's Press hardcovered her YA friendship/coming-of-age novel:
A Horse Called September
Previously-included Covenant Communications-published Canadian-resident Tom Roulstone offers another probably-inspirational western romance short:
Home to Wyoming (Cheyenne Springs)
Minor ISFDBed Robert J. Duperre returns with a contribution to the following horror anthology:
The Gate 2: 13 Tales of Isolation and Despair
HarperCollins/Scholastic New Zealand author Linda McNabb offers another YA fantasy, which she says was originally out from HarperCollins NZ (no paperback listing, but Amazon is sketchy about books published only in the antipodes):
The Crystal Runners
Ken McClure returns with another "chilling medical thriller", originally out from Simon & Schuster UK in 1992:
Requiem
Minor ISFDBed Robert E. Keller returns with another collection of his short:
Fantasy Stories -- Volume III
For Read an E-Book Week, Elisabeth Waters and Michael Spence repeat their mini-collection of fantasy stories originally published in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword & Sorceress anthologies:
Treasures of Albion II
Avon & Ellora's Cave-published Leda Swann, which turns out to be the awesomely mythological-referencing pseudonym of a New Zealand-based couples' writing team (I'm now imagining that somewhere out there, there's a Callisto Bhaer and an Europa Taurus and maybe even a Danae Goldenschauer), returns with a fairy-creature paranormal erotic romance:
Stormtossed
I'm including this one purely for the crack value:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves of the Old Republic
Well, in case you have those post-apocalyptic scenario worries about the rise of the machines, here's something that might help with them. Or not:
18 Vital Things That Will Keep You Smarter Than The Robots
Happy reading, if you can manage it between remembering that "can't sleep, clown will eat me" and "must stay smarter than the robots".
