New paperbacks from Night Shade Books
Teasing other bloggers who lovingly photograph their free review copies (in Cancel the Riot) seems to have gotten me noticed by publishers. So I borrowed Diana’s digital camera to record this influx of freebies for posterity. The photos aren’t terrific — it looks like I need a lot more practice before I get really good at posing books. (That was subtle, Mike.)
Thanks to Night Shade Books for an interesting batch — I’m already halfway through the reprint of Glen Cook’s The Dragon Never Sleeps. Nothing rivets my attention like a John Berkey cover.
I’m also amazed at the generosity of Stephen Haffner (Haffner Press) who sent three Edmond Hamilton collections — these are superbly-made books. They’ll make a great introduction to the master’s work.

If you get those little easels for collector’s plates at a crafts store, you will find it easier to pose your books. We use them at book signings.
Too much trouble to photograph my freebies: I list them on a web page with Amazon links so visitors can go there and see what the covers look like if they’re actually interested …
I’m sure the thrill wears off eventually, but I can testify it hasn’t worn off after the first 10 books.
