X-link to the DRM-free thread for some new bundles of sfnal interest:
StoryBundle's Leading Ladies Fantasy contains novels and story collections starring female lead characters, by mostly indie authors. There's a freebie if you're a newsletter subscriber. And their Military Horror bundle expires soon. Also, some RPG gamebook bundles from Humble Bundle for the popular Pathfinder fantasy setting, and from Bundle of Holding for the tie-ins to the Buffy: the Vampire Slayer and Angel: the Series TV shows. |

An omnibus of Annie Bellet's first three Twenty-Sided Sorceress books, Justice Calling, Murder of Crows, and Pack of Lies, is free at Amazon US and Kobo at the moment. (Or you could pick up the first one free and 99¢ for the other two individually - check your libraries if needed.)
Bellet self-publishes these electronically, with enough success that Saga picked up the physical rights and has been printing omnibus editions. I've read the first one; I wasn't blown away, but I found some elements interesting enough to make a note to keep an eye out for sales. My main quibble was that these are short books, maybe novellas, and I was dubious of the regular price point for the length. Free works. These are urban fantasy, and there appears to be a love interest, but on a scale from 0 = "love triangles for the win" to 10 = "no love cooties," the first was probably about a 4 or 5, I'd say - it's an element but not a focus.
