Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:
After the Rapture:: A short story about what's possible by Anne Kelleher (ISFDB), whose name you may be more familiar with as Anne Kelleher Bush from her Warner Aspect-published fantasy trilogy, an sfnal exploration of Exactly What It Says In The Title (may contain f/f romantic elements; Kelleher also used to write f/m genre romances for one of the dedicated imprints). When a lesbian couple wake one April Fool's Day to find most of the people in the world vanished, is it really Armageddon? X-link to the Non-Fiction megathread because there's a significant overlap between sf/fantasy fans and superhero comics aficionados, not to mention Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan is straight-up sci-fi political satire anyway: Free from the small press publisher via KDP Select @ Amazon: 2 collections of comic book literary analysis essays with bonus creator interviews out from Sequart, on Marvel Comics' Daredevil and DC's Helix/Vertigo's Transmetropolitan, respectively. Also possibly Relevant To Your Interests™ while I'm posting stuff, free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: A Whovian Feast: A Doctor Who Inspired Cookbook for Discriminating Fans by Colleen Maguire which is Exactly What It Says In The Title. Obviously self-pub, but the recipes are fannishly-themed like Slitheen Eggs and Time Vortex Tartlets, the ingredients and instructions seem reasonably cromulent and unlikely to result in food poisoning (unless you're like really, really bad at hygienic prep and storage), and there's lots of pictures included for the final dishes, alongside ideas for Doctor Who-themed party planning, so maybe you might like to give this a try. Ever wonder what it’s like to tag along with the Doctor? Doctor Who has been a longstanding and beloved series for decades. Whovians everywhere continue to enjoy the new shows and old, and look for new and unique ways to show their fan dedication. A cherished project from self-proclaimed 'Super Whovian', author and chef Colleen Maguire lovingly replicates and interprets a wide range of cuisines from across time and universe, and ties them in with specific characters and episodes throughout Time Lord history. Mouthwatering, tried and true dishes that are not reshaped or repurposed food. Delicious recipes for grown-up Whovians! Fresh from the series that defined sci-fi, comes the cookbook that will elevate Whovian parties to a whole new level - or Time Vortex! Allon-sy! |

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:
The Case of the Singing Sword by Tee Morris (ISFDB, Wikipedia), co-author of the very popular Ministry of Peculiar Occurences steampunk adventure series out from HarperCollins' Voyager imprint, 1st in his Billibub Baddings Mysteries series of Tolkien-meets-hardboiled-noir detective satires, originally out from Dragon Moon Press in 2004. It is The Era of Prohibition, where crime runs rampant in the streets and a city divided into territories serves as the ultimate prize. Somewhere in this Underworld of Chicago, an enchanted weapon holds the key to ending The Gangland Wars. In the wake of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, only one is man enough to stand up against Al Capone… ...a four-foot-one dwarf named Billibub Baddings. Get ready for The Lord of the Rings written by Mickey Spillane! Poking fun at the hard-boiled detective novel, Fantasy mainstays, and even the legend of Chicago's 1920 underworld, Tee Morris re-releases to the digital front his award-winning novel. Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: Chasing the Bard by Philippa Ballantine (ISFDB, Wikipedia), whose name you may better recognize as "Pip Ballantine", co-author of said MOPO steampunk series. This is the 1st in her Chronicles of Art series of AU Shakespearean historical fantasy with faeries in Tudor/Jacobite England, originally out from Dragon Moon in 2005. This used to be offered free via Smashwords and thence price-matched in other outlets, but has apparently been yanked to become an Amazon-exclusive since then, sigh. Sive, the goddess of battle, hopes that William Shakespeare may be able to change the fate of her people. The Fey are dying, killed by something beyond the boundaries of worlds. But a dark power imprisoned by human and Fey, plots to destroy both worlds, and unmake all that they have created. Can the magic of word and imagination save creation? |

Memory of Water by Emmi Itäranta, nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award 2014 is $1.99 at various stores.
Amazon US B&N Omnilit Below is the blurb: An amazing, award-winning speculative fiction debut novel by a major new talent, in the vein of Ursula K. Le Guin. Global warming has changed the world’s geography and its politics. Wars are waged over water, and China rules Europe, including the Scandinavian Union, which is occupied by the power state of New Qian. In this far north place, seventeen-year-old Noria Kaitio is learning to become a tea master like her father, a position that holds great responsibility and great secrets. Tea masters alone know the location of hidden water sources, including the natural spring that Noria’s father tends, which once provided water for her whole village. But secrets do not stay hidden forever, and after her father’s death the army starts watching their town—and Noria. And as water becomes even scarcer, Noria must choose between safety and striking out, between knowledge and kinship. Imaginative and engaging, lyrical and poignant, Memory of Water is an indelible novel that portrays a future that is all too possible. Last edited by sinoue; 01-30-2015 at 05:14 PM. |
