The Watson Letters Volume 3: Curse of the Baskervilles
by Colin Garrow

Intrepid investigators Holmes and Watson continue their fight against crime in a not quite Post-Victorian, steampunk parallel universe.
In three more adventures, the intrepid duo tackle a ghostly locomotive, journey to Dartmoor in search of a gigantic hound, and team up with bloodthirsty psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter in the hunt for a murderer. Adult humour throughout.

Curse of the Baskervilles is book #3 in this Victorian comedy adventure series.
If you love historical mysteries, buy something else instead, but if you’re into fart-gags and innuendo this’ll be right up your Victorian street. Download your copy or buy the paperback version of The Watson Letters Volume 3: Curse of the Baskervilles now

Freebie: Boy Mercury – An Antebellum Adventure

Boy Mercury – An Antebellum Adventure: Episode One: The Welding

Take a moment to make sure that the ebook is still free before making your purchase.

A brilliant and heroic Confederate general lies on his deathbed, mortally wounded.
A young man with a special talent: his tears can bind machines to the human body.
A doctor whose career hinges on saving the general’s life.
A nurse with devious plans of her own.
And a ruthless officer whose blind ambition can make his the most powerful man in the country–and destroy all of their lives.

So begins the first episode of Boy Mercury, An Antebellum Adventure. Set in an alternate history where Stonewall Jackson survives and the South wins the Battle of Gettysburg, Boy Mercury is the rollicking adventures of Amboy “Boy” Babbage and the Resistance–led by an enchanting spy, a fiery aeronautrix, and a charismatic leader willing sacrifice anything–as they rise against the mechanized forces of the New Confederacy and its cyborg general, Stonewall Jackson, in a battle not only for their lives, but the freedom of all people.

 

Free ebook: On Basilisk Station

On Basilisk Station
by David Weber

 

As usual, Amazon can change the price at any moment so take some time to check that the price is still $0.00 before making your purchase.

INTRODUCING
HONOR HARRINGTON

Having made him look a fool, she’s been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her.

Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship’s humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station.

The aborigines of the system’s only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.

Parliament isn’t sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called “Republic” of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn’t work to police the entire star system.

But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They’ve made her mad.

At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (DRM Rights Management).

 

Free ebook of The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft

The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft

Thanks to the efforts of Cthulhu Chick  we have, in both Nook (EPUB) and Kindle (MOBI), files for The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft.

If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.

The “Missing” Art of Steampunk

The Art of Steampunk: Extraordinary Devices and Ingenious Contraptions from the Leading Artists of the Steampunk Movement

by Art Donovan

I love steampunk. So when I had the chance to review an advanced copy of steampunk art, I jumped at it.

Sadly, I can’t tell you very much about the book. Most of the pictures were missing and some of the text read, “Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit.” That’s right some of the text is missing. Having read several ARCs (advanced reader copies), I expect misspelled words or grammatical errors, but I have never seen anything like this before.

I would have expected a lot more from a publisher like Fox Chapel Publishing, and it begs the question if Fox Chapel has any pride in its work? If Fox Chapel offers half-finished ARCs to book reviewers what kind of effort can the readers expect?

 

Ebook Review of Scott Nicholson’s Crime Beat

Crime Beat by Scott Nicholson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another must read from the “Duke of Disturbing” Scott Nicholson.
“Crime Beat” is a fast-paced novella. A new reporter is added to a small county newspaper on the crime beat. Suddenly, the sleepy rural town makes the news for a series of murders.
In addition to the great novella, Nicholson gives us a bonus story. Let’s face it Nicholson is brilliant.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the author Scott Nicholson. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
