IASFA Fantasy Story Promotion
 

The IASFA runs one promotion a month and to see the numerous titles on sale, all you have to do is sign up for the IASFA newsletter. As an added bonus, you’ll get five free books in a variety of SFF genres. https://iasfa.org/free-books

It’s as simple as that. Give us your first name and email address. It’s a great way to meet your next favorite SFF author. Right now, we have a promo for free or discounted short stories – you can quickly look through an author’s story and see if they match your taste. Then you can look on your favorite bookselling site for more stories and books by the same author. This promo includes Buzz on the Street, the prequel to The Love-Haight Case Files series, for free. Check it out and if you like the mix of mystery, humor, urban fantasy, and horror, get the whole series. Each of the two books has four different case files: four monsters, four mysteries, four legal issues, and four compelling reads. The Love-Haight Case Files, Book 1, is on the Books of Horror Indie Brawl intention list for 2024. There will be a round of voiting for Books of Horror Facebook members on April 1 as to which books will make the initial March Madness style bracket showdown. If it makes that cut, the public will vote on each bracket later on. I'll send reminders, but watch this space!

Also, scroll down for other promos from fellow fantasy authors, as well as information about three fantasy tales I've written for Tacitus Publishing.

By the way, I've also got a number of fantasy stories available on DriveThruFiction. They're tie-in fiction in the Chronicles of Ballidrous Campaign Setting, but they are fine fantasy tales even if you are not playing the system. The latest out is Murky Business, but I also have Scavenger Hunt and Displaced, at just 99 cents each. Tacitus has great art and treats its writers very well, so be sure to check out these and all their other great products.

Don't Fade Away: A Ghost Story

by

Natalie Pearce

What's the only thing worse than being stuck haunting a share house?
Being ignored by the first person to sense your presence in years...

Ever since her unfortunate demise, Elle's been forced to watch her living housemates come and go with nothing to fill her days except a crush on longstanding housemate, Dean, who literally doesn’t know she exists. Talk about unrequited love.

Just as she despairs at being stuck halfway to the other side for the rest of her afterlife, the newest resident sparks hope for something more.

As far as mediums go, Ethan barely knows he is one. He just wants a place to knuckle down and finish his degree. But as soon as he moves in, he senses a presence. He tries to ignore it – but Elle is insistent…

The more Ethan uncovers about Elle, the more he suspects her death was no accident. Can he help her move on before she really does fade away?

Don’t Fade Away is a spooky contemporary ghost story combining humor, romance and mystery that will tug at the heartstrings!

The Guardian of the Palace, Book 1 of The Guardian League urban fantasy series by Steven Morris.

Everyone knows magic isn’t real.

Alien invaders? Ha!

But something destroyed an entire skyscraper in a never-before-seen implosion. Can one skeptical security guard stand between monsters and magic that threaten the world?

Disillusioned with her military career, Red Hernandez crawled back to civilian life as a second tier security lead for an engineering marvel meant to cram more people into the tiny island of Manhattan. She expected her biggest struggles to be integrating back into a society where social media and closet space reigned supreme. But when mysterious forces destroy a building similar to the one she’s chartered to protect, in an implosive blast never before seen, all notions of a cushy retirement job go up in smoke.

With lives on the line, but big money pushing to continue construction, Red finds the steely determination that she'd lost in the desert of her past. Monsters lurk in the shadows, forcing her to re-evaluate everything she believed to be true... and all that she imagined.

Can one woman save the world, or will disbelief be her undoing?

The Guardian of The Palace is the action-packed first book in The Guardian League fantasy series. If you like magic intruding on reality, exploring new worlds, and a good chuckle, then you'll love Steven J. Morris's inventive tale.

The Dick Thornby Thriller Series

The omni version of The Dick Thornby Thriller Series became available this year. Now you can give an entire series of exciting spy thrillers about a regular guy who takes on some of the biggest and most bizarre conspiracy and disaster theories you can find on the world wide web in one honking big book. If ebooks aren't your thing, you can grab Net Impact, Wet Work, and Flash Drive in print here. And, both Net Impact and Wet Work are available in audio. See the links at the end of this newsletter. And, if you want to start off an Audible subscription with either Net Impact or Wet Work, go here or here, respectively.

Dick Thornby isn't Hollywood's idea of a spy. He's a new kind of spy for a new kind of world.

Donald J. Bingle is the author of seven books and more than sixty shorter works in the horror, thriller, science fiction, mystery, fantasy, steampunk, romance, comedy, and memoir genres. His books include Forced Conversion (near future military scifi), GREENSWORD (darkly comedic eco-thriller), Frame Shop (murder in a suburban writers' group), and the Dick Thornby spy thriller series (Net Impact, Wet Work, and Flash Drive). He also co-authored (with Jean Rabe) The Love-Haight Case Files series (a three-time Silver Falchion winning paranormal urban fantasy about two lawyers who represent the legal rights of supernatural creatures in a magic-filled San Francisco; Book 2 just came out). Don also edited Familiar Spirits (an anthology of ghost stories). He also put out the oddest book you've ever seen. Morse Code Mysteries and Missives has three tales (two stories by Don and a relevant piece of non-fiction) presented in Morse Code text, then via links in audio dots and dasher, then in plain English.

Many of Don's shorter works can be found in his Writer on Demand TM collections.

Get the audiobook version of Net Impact at Audible.com, Amazon, and iTunes and the audiobook version of Wet Work at Audible.com, Amazon, and iTunes.
