Free (DRM-free) Soulmates by Mike Resnick & Lezli Robyn [Sci-Fi & Fantasy Collection]

[ATDrake]

Soulmates by Mike Resnick (ISFDB, Wikipedia, SFE), a prolific Hugo & Nebula Award-winning author, & Australian author Lezli Robyn (ISFDB) is their collection of science fiction & fantasy shorts, written together in collaboration over the years, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Phoenix Pick Press.

This is one of their featured Free Book of the Month selection for July December and is one of their original publications reprinting material which has previously appeared in various magazine venues, including the titular story, which made it all the way to 2nd place for Asimov's Readers Choice Best Novelette.

Currently free through the month of December directly @ the publisher's dedicated promo page (DRM-free ePub & Mobi bundle available worldwide; follow the instructions on the webpage to reset the price in the cart to $0.00)

The tie-in offer is for a bundle of issues #1-3 of Galaxy's Edge magazine which is edited by Resnick for just $3.99, with each issue containing a mix of new stories and reprints by up-and-coming and well-known authors, plus portions of a novel serialization and reviews. IIRC, this tie-in deal has previously been offered with another BOTM or as part of a special sale in the past, so you might already have it, but it's otherwise a good deal. Lezli Robyn & Larry Hodges' recent entry in the Stellar Guild series of novella duets pairing up a more established author with a newer one, When Parallel Lines Meet, some sort of milSF psionic alien contact adventure, for $1.99.

Description
Multiple award-winning authors, Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn, get to the heart of the matter in Soulmates, which showcases all the words they have penned together over their years as collaborators (with a bonus solo piece by each). Whether a robot, alien, some kind of supernatural being or human, rising above our prejudices and ignorance allows us to make emotional connections that can have a profound effect on our lives.

Each of these stories examine a facet of the simple, yet incredibly complex, concept of companionship. They will make you laugh; will make you cry…but most importantly they will make you look at the very basic notion of soul-mates in a different light.

Just a reminder that this will probably be the last day to pick up the freebie or purchase the tie-in deal, if you're interested.

This is now a repeat freebie as one of two BOTM selections for December, and has a new tie-in offer for a novella by Lezli Robyn. New linkage and details in OP.

Just a reminder that this might be the last day (maybe an extra day for the New Year's holiday) to pick up the freebie and/or purchase the tie-in deal, if you're interested.
