Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb is on sale at Kindle US today

I loved Sharyn McCrumb’s too-short 2-book Jay Omega series when I read both books back in the days of “real-paper” books. It’s a really fun series with Omega, who is both a college professor and a science-fiction author, as the protagonist. I went to a really technical college, and some of the characters in the

The Novice’s Tale and A Play of Isaac, both by Margaret Frazer, are on sale today in the US

I really really like Margaret Frazer’s Dame Frevisse series, and I’m also pretty fond of her Joliffe series. Unfortunately titles in these series don’t go on sale very often – sigh!
