Everyone else is posting about this, so I probably should too:

If you've ever been interested in reading Martha Wells' Murderbot novellas, Tor is giving all four of them away for free as ebooks, one per day, starting today with the first one. Just give them your email address and get an ebook or four. Get four ( Read more... )

So I've been reading Jo Walton's An Informal History of the Hugos and, yes, I know it's just republished blog posts, but it was $2 and I like reading things in one big file. It goes through the nominees and winners, year by year, with occasional reviews and some of the blog comments. I'm up to the early 80s, which is good because now I am getting ( Read more... )

I keep thinking that I must have posted about this before, but I guess I haven't: Tor, the SF/F publisher, runs a site that collects SF news as well as other things like original short SF stories.

Number of dead flies in my drinks, since yesterday: TWO. EWWW EWWWW.

Anyway. Um. Today it occurred to me that I should actually put a bunch more fanfiction on my Kindle. So I did. And while I was looking around for more ebooks to load I noticed that Baen now has a bunch of Frederik Pohl, and he is one of those SF authors I have always felt I ( Read more... )
