It was much the same with me. I had read Pam Uphoff's Lawyers of Mars and enjoyed it and collected the freebies as they came out.

I only read them when sucked in by Pam posting later works in progress on her blog.

The early novels had insufficient proof reading so can be annoying ('loose' for 'lose') Her loyal readers have been invited to help via Google Docs and have improved things a good deal.

Spy Wars (Wine of the Gods Book 5) by Pam Uphoff

The first cross dimensional diaspora was nearly mythical.
A few colonies, and the exile of the genetically engineered abominations so unwisely created by scientists.
Fourteen centuries later, the second diaspora was well underway before the Earth first encountered another civilization with cross-dimensional abilities. Their immediate violent clash was followed by a combination of avoidance and probing for information.
Now, both the Earth and the Empire of the One have laid claim to the same World, and are not about to back down and look weak.
Pity about the native population, which has some odd idea about owning their own World.

The magicians of Ash and the King's Own Intelligence officers try to keep track of the Empire of the One's relationship with a foreign nation, while they monitor the spies from both the Empire and the Earth on their own territory.

Hello Folks,

Been a bit under the weather. Hope to dig for more fabulous DRM-free goodies soon.

In the meantime, if it's Tuesday, this must be Wildside!

http://www.wildsidepress.com/freebie.htm

Diagnosis Murder

In five short stories and one long novelette, Rufus King introduces Colin Starr, a young physician whose medical knowledge enables him to detect murder where a less able doctor would have signed a certificate of death from natural causes. Because of his shrewd understanding of human psychology as well as his application of scientific knowledge to seemingly unrelated facts, Dr. Starr is a unique detective in the annals of crime.

Enjoy!

Thanks! Wildside still aren't sending me the newsletter, so I rely on the kindness of strangers MR to update me on their weekly freebies. Hope you feel better soon.

As a reminder, the Wildside 40% off over $10 with coupon sale is still ongoing through the April 15th, apparently. I don't know if it was a 1-time-use thing or not, but just in case, I'm going to look up some other stuff off my wishlist and check against my old Fictionwise purchases and see if I can pick up a few more things while the getting's good (and DRM-free!).

[ATDrake]

Preternatural Affairs, Books 1-3: Witch Hunt, Silver Bullet, and Hotter Than Helltown by SM Reine

My name's Cèsar Hawke. I’m a witch working for a division of the government you’ve never heard about.

The world’s not what everyone thinks it is—unless you think that our world’s a pawn in a game of chess between Heaven and Hell, and riddled with as much magic and wonder as it is with evil.

In that case, the world is exactly what you think.

My place of employment—the Office of Preternatural Affairs—takes a modern approach to an ages-old problem. It used to be that inquisitors would burn demons and the people in league with them. Now we get warrants, perform arrests, put the suspects on trial, and send guilty parties back to the Hell from whence they came with the travel forms filled out in triplicate.

The Descent Series, Books 1-3: Death's Hand, The Darkest Gate, and Dark Union by SM Reine

When Elise Kavanagh retired from demon hunting, she swore it would be permanent. But an attack from a powerful necromancer forced her back into the business, and now she's trying to balance her normal boyfriend and normal job with everything supernatural.

Dark Lady (Wine of the Gods Book 8)

She saved a world, but not perfectly, not everyone. Drained of her magic, exhausted, she could not block out the screams of the injured and dying. She could only flee through a dimensional gate to an unknown world.

A town that accepted her. A town that needed all of her limping, injured, magic to save them when they came under attack.

Growing Up Magic (Wine of the Gods Book 9) by Pam Uphoff

One of the first challenges a person has to meet is growing up. "Magic" doesn't make it any easier. It just makes it stranger.
Whether they are a precocious son, a farm boy who is much smarter than he looks, an orphan, or a prince-every child has to learn to make their own decisions.
Even if they aren't very wise decisions . . .

Four stories about Growing Up Magic.

The Arthur Conan Doyle MEGAPACK™

Most people realize Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes. But he was a prolific writer throughout his long career, producing far more than just mysteries. This volume assembles 65 of his non-Sherlockian stories, covering a wide range of subjects: mysteries, adventure, supernatural, medical, nautical, and pugelist stories are just the tip of the iceberg! Here, with more than 1,100 pages, is one of the largest collections of his short stories ever published!

As always, Wildside's products are DRM-free.

For the computer programmers in the audience, Packt Publishing will be offering a free ebook every day through May 17th (DRM-free ePub/Mobi/PDF bundle with an online read option).

Here's the promo page which will showcase them all (they're operating on GMT and rotate daily ~ 4 PM Pacific Time), and you'll need to already have an account with them to claim each title to add to your library:

Free Learning — Help Yourself, and today's freebie is for Kinect in Motion – Audio and Visual Tracking by Example

This week's Humble Weekly Bundle: Indie Game Magazine will give you two free issues of the titular magazine (April 2014 & 2015, DRM-free PDF) just for putting your email address into the box (no need to actually sign up for the newsletters if you don't want to). And should you also be interested in the games, three of the weekly bundle titles are DRM-free (and 2 of those available for Linux as well as Mac and Windows).

Also, Wildside hasn't yet pulled their weekly Tuesday freebie, so for now you can still get the Richard Deming Crime Minipack directly from their promo page if you missed it earlier.
