Looks like the RAEBW sale is still going at Smashwords. I've spent ~$60 on the stuff I was planning to get and might go back and sample some more of the marginal maybes if they're good for another hour or two.

Some last minute additions.

Book View Café author consortium member and fellow MR member author Sue Lange (ISFDB) offers 25-75% off four items (one of which only shows up under the Book View Café aegis, who, sadly, have nothing else on sale, nor is there a corresponding discount offered on the BVC site for these). I picked up her half-off collection of previously-published short stories and her backlist small press comedy sf novel.

David Mark Brown who wrote a Christian non-fiction work for Intervarsity Press and showed up in the KDP slushpile with an AU weird western zany pulp adventure, seems to have returned his book to Smashwords (or did the KDP starter trial before putting them up at all) and offers one of said AU "Reeferpunk" novels free with coupon.

ETA: It turns out that Alan Burt Akers is the penname of the late Kenneth Bulmer (ISFDB) who appears to have extensive and lengthy credentials. Mushroom Publishing offers one off his works in his long-running Dray Prescot series originally published by DAW free-with-coupon, the 2nd in series free-with-different-coupon, and the rest at 25% off (probably cheaper at Fictionwise with coupon).

Roger Taylor's (ISFDB) 1st in series fantasy originally published by Headline is also free-with-coupon. There may be more lurking in the Mushroom catalogue.
