New Wildside Press freebie for this Tuesday is up, and it's for:

Wildside Press Presents Discover A New Author: Josh Pachter with four mystery short stories by the eponymous author and editor (ISFDB, Science Fiction Encyclopedia), who happens to have a collection of 10 of his shorts from Ellery Queen & Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine going dirt cheap for just 99 cents in a value-priced megapack if it turns out you like his writing: The Mahboob Chaudri Mystery Megapack: The Complete Series (also available at your favourite retailers as well, very likely).

This series of free ebooks is designed to promote authors you may not have tried before. In this case, Josh Pachter.

Josh broke into the mystery field in 1965 with "E.Q. Griffen Earns His Name." Since that time he has regularly produced mystery stories for magazines and anthologies, including the critically acclaimed "Mahboob Chaudri" series (collected by Wildside Press in paperback as "The Tree of Life: The Mahboob Chaudri Mystery Stories" and in ebook form as "The Mahboob Chaudri Mystery MEGAPACK®").

He is also well known as a translator of fiction and nonfiction from Dutch to English. His translation of Janwillem van de Wetering's "There Goes Ravelaar" (EQMM, January 1985) was nominated for the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Short Story of its year, and, since EQMM inaugurated its regular "Passport to Crime" feature in 2002, more than a dozen Dutch and Belgian authors have been introduced to American readers via his translations.

If you’re not already familiar with his work, here’s your chance to discover what you’ve been missing. This book contains four complete stories, one co-authored with Rebecca K. Jones (who also happens to be Josh’s daughter). So read on...and be prepared: you’re going to want to hunt down more of Josh Pachter’s work when you’re done!


Bundle of Holding has a new superheroes RPG gamebook offering: Icons, and their Exalted fantasy RPG bundles are still good for the next few days.

Just a reminder that expiring soon are StoryBundle's The Write Stuff 2016 Bundle full of creative/career advice guides curated by former Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Humble Bundle's Humble Comics Ghostbusters presented by IDW which will get replaced tomorrow on Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific Time. The Humble Book Bundle LGBTQ supporting Pride Month is still good for the next week, and contains a nice selection of fiction, non-fiction, audiobooks, and graphic novels, many of them award-nominated.
