I don’t know when I’ll be doing my next Robert’s Roundup, but I just noticed that all the titles from Unsolicited Press are priced at 99 cents on Smashwords. Note that even though this link might list the full price, if you click to the ebook page, you will see the discounted price of 99 cents.
Unsolicited Press has a lot of fiction and poetry titles. Definitely not mainstream — here’s the blog. There’s a lot of good stuff, but I can tell you some winners in the pack:
- Flashes & Verses … Becoming Attractions. (Free!) Adrian Ernesto Cepeda (author website).
- Mustering what’s left by Roger Aplon. Compilation of several decades of this African-American poet. (author website).
- None of the Above by Michael Cocchiarale (website) .
Spanning the years 1980 to 2007, None of the Above is a story about Increase Alt, a Midwesterner coming of age during tumultuous times for both himself and the nation. I found another title by him at a great price (alas-expired!) a few weeks ago. - Rise of Saint Fox and The Independence By Corin Reyburn.
