Feature still free, and we have a number of rather nifty things today, including some extensive backlist offerings/published work tie-ins and a fair number of sf/fantasy/horror shorts.
Previously title-featured ISFBDeb Baen-published Janet Morris returns with a short story in the popular Thieves' World shared universe fantasy setting in a newly revised and expanded edition:
Wake of the Riddler
Clifford Thurlow is a professional ghost-writer whose name officially appears as a co-author credit on several memoirs. He offers two works, a literary fiction novel, and a Salvador Dali acquaintance memoir was apparently published in 2000 (there's a Spanish-language paperback appearing a year later) and which quotes blurb praise from a writer for the UK newspaper The Guardian's Observer supplement:
Linkage for them both
Tom Phelan's 1993 small pressed historical IRA literary suspense drama quotes a lot of newspaper praise, especially from Ireland, and its prominent mention of being a "Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Selection" seems especially ironic in the light of this very likely being a KDP Select exclusive-or-else edition:
In the Season of the Daisies
British fantasy writer C.L. Holland (
ISFDB entry) has had a number of short stories published in small press anthologies and offers a mini-collection of them here:
A World in Clockwork and Other Stories
William Meikle (
ISFDB entry) who has had an Honorable Mention in one of those Windling/Datlow-edited Year's Best Fantasy/Horror anthologies, offers a collection of his previously-published short stories and a writing advice book:
Linkage for the lot
Canadian-expat Greek-resident Irish citizen Robert Maclean returns with a conspiracy-esque murder mystery originally published under the title Home from the Party in 1995 by small press Ronsdale and which quotes newspaper praise from both Canadian and Greek outlets:
Greek Island Murder
Sourcebooks-published Abigail Reynolds, who happens to write Jane Austen derivatives for them, offers some Austen-derivative shorts for your further Austen-derivative enjoyment:
A Pemberley Medley (A Pride & Prejudice Variation)
Award-winning Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin returns with another translated short:
The Micro-Age
Dutton-published Jeff Shelby returns with another installment continuing his formerly Dutton-published mystery series:
Drift Away (Noah Braddock Mysteries)
Under the aegis of Ten Talents Press, a number of well-established authors are offering some of their backlist and new works, including Sourcebooks-published romance writers Leigh Greenwood & Leanna Ellis & Connie Mason, Tyndale & Baker & Thordike-published Christian fiction writers Robin Lee Hatcher and Jane Peart and Siri L. Mitchell, and a nifty-looking historical society murder mystery by Mary Nealy, whose credentials I looked up once and don't feel like digging up again:
Linkage for the lot
Xcite Books returns with some new erotic romance/erotica for your collection:
Linkage for the lot. You'll have to dig a bit, since the old expired freebies are still lumped in with the $0.00 ones, thanks to how Amazon not!filters the Prime "free" lending stuff. I suggest resorting by Popularity to help drive the ones that people haven't already all gotten to the top.
This looks like a fun design history artbook, and I don't often see fun-looking design history artbooks in the KDP slushpile (more often I see artbooks purporting to contain erotic nudes, so to speak), so I hereby include this book by Klaus Leschel who says he has worked on some visual design-related stuff:

Happy reading, if you manage to spot something you think you might like.
