It's very sad when authors seem to have nothing better to do with their lives. And embarrassing (yet hilarious) when they photoshop themselves without legs next to a famous dead author so that they can claim acquaintance.
Minor updates. I skipped a lot of repeats and stuff in categories I flat-out don't care about unless the author was someone recognizable or had a hover-over pop-up blurb claimed credential that was easily checked.
Sky Purington was included before for having some stuff out with one of the specialty romance imprints, IIRC. Here's her fantasy historical romance set amongst the ancient Celts:
The King's Druidess (The MacLomain Series- Prelude)
Another fantasy romance in the same setting as above by Valerie Douglas who writes as V.J. Devereaux for Ellora's Cave:
Setting Boundaries - a novella (The Coming Storm)
Barbara Bretton has stuff currently out from Berkley. Here's her contemporary romance:
The Marrying Man
Irish writer Tim Vicary who's been published by Simon & Schuster and as it happens, writes educational children's books for Oxford University Press, returns with a crime & justice legal thriller:
A Game of Proof (The trials of Sarah Newby)
Imajin/n Books who did not participate in RAEBW this year since they can no longer offer freebies directly off their website due to exclusive-or-else-ing their entire catalogue, from the looks of it, have an historical romance written by Kat Flannery:
Chasing Clovers
I.J. Parker returns with the 1st in her historical Japanese sleuth mystery series, this volume originally out from St. Martin's Press in 2002:
Rashomon Gate (A Sugawara Akitada Novel)
Fellow MR member author Paul Levine's action adventure thriller is probably a repeat, but it's old enough that I don't have it in the newer just-for-KDP auxiliary account:
Ballistic
Richard Mason who wrote columns for an Arizona wildlife federation newsletter and whose historical novel series about a boy growing up in the Deep South in the 50s has been slowly offered piece by piece now offers something completely different:
"I Will Drink Your Blood" The Vampire-Werewolf of Flat Creek Swamp
R.J. Jagger returns with a book he says was originally published under the title Night Laws:
Witness Chase (Nick Teffinger Thriller 1)
Gerald Hausman's literary short story collection is a repeat, but a relatively notable one since he claims to be a winner of the American Folklore Society Award and assuming his
Wikipedia entry is not an elaborate Stanek-like hoax, does seem to have credentials that check out as far as having a Simon & Schuster official author page go:
The American Storybag
UK writer Robert Grossmith also repeats his literary short story collection, and very helpfully provides the exact print provenance of each one and the specific award nomination he claims for it in a little descriptive blurb before the appropriate story in the sample. He also quotes praise from a local Scottish newspaper in the blurb and we don't get very much verifiable decent-ish litfic and he also manages to reference
Oulipo, possibly my favourite literary movement, so:
The Book of Ands and Other Stories
Previously-title-featured Canadian Governor General's Award for Children's Literature winner Morgan Nyberg repeats a bunch of his assorted fiction written for kids and/or adults, including the award-winning kidlit novel:
Linkage for the lot if you missed them last time
I think someone said they missed this the last time around. If so, here's Lise McClendon's 1930s set historical murder mystery again, originally 2001-St. Martin's/Minotaured:
One O'clock Jump: a swing town mystery for the young at heart (Dorie Lennox Mystery Series)
At this point I'm just waiting to see what previously-included video game artist Stephen Beam is titling his sf/fantasy/horror shorts. This one has the sort of cover which will probably provide you with a spontaneous horrified laugh at the sheer cheesiness of it all and the conviction that the author should stop talking to whomever suggested it was a good idea:
The Teddy Bear Singularity (a bizarre alien invasion invokes an unlikely savior)
More sfnal comedy from previously-included self-pub ISFDB self-entry "Barry Barroldson", who according to comments in the What Are You Reading thread in Reading Recs is probably pseudonymous, but enjoyable, according to those fellow MR members who've read him:
Pizzas In Space
I don't know what the quality of this self-pub mashup is, but it looks fun and the author's got a great disclaimer in the blurb for it. If the actual story is even half as entertaining as the description, then he'll have done well with:
Cthulhu in Wonderland (The Madness of Alice)
Happy reading, if you manage to catch something you regretted missing when it originally appeared.
ETA: Previously-included minor ISFDBed Edward G. Talbot, who is the penname for two other authors who also have their own ISFDB entries, offers a mini-collection of shorts, which happens to have some guy in a formal suit with a clown face on the cover, for those of you who are interested in mini-collections of shorts with guys in formal suits with clown faces on the cover:
A Funny Pair Of Shorts There's actually three inside, so maybe they're wacky mutant shorts.
