This week – since I’ve still not received any information for promos – I’ve chosen to push a few titles from my personal wishlist. These are on my summer reading list, already in the planning!

Ditch your uncertainty and transform yourself into a KICK-ASS writer. This new book from award-winning author Chuck Wendig combines the best of his eye-opening writing instruction–previously available in e-book form only–with all-new insights into writing and publishing. It’s an explosive broadside of gritty advice that will destroy your fears, clear the path, and help you find your voice, your story, and your audience.

Avaricious, cruel, depraved, envious, mean-spirited, vengeful—the wicked have been with us since the beginnings of humankind. You might recognize them and you might not. But make no mistake. When the wicked cross your path, your life will never be the same. Do you know someone wicked? You will.

Wagar talks about that scandal but also a wide ranging political career as an anarchist and peace activist (which included pie-killing a politician, anti-nuclear protests, and provides fascinating insights into the hard left in 1980s Toronto) in the NDP and later Green Party, several differences of opinion in the Pagan communities of Toronto and British Columbia through the 1990s, starting a church (Congregationalist Wiccan Association of BC) and other community service (an annual festival, assistance with starting Panfest and the CWA Alberta, involvement in the Canadian National Pagan Conference / Gaia Gathering).

Zombies may be ravenous, frenzied killers…but this collection of zombie haiku from around the world explores the poetic side of unlife-after-death. With poems contributed by bloggers, reddittors, tweeple and more, HAIKU OF THE LIVING DEAD explores themes of fear, death, survival, “turning,” feeding, post-zombie society, undead love and more.

Lead Private Detective Harry McGlade through a series of comic misadventures and bad puns as he traverses the J.A. Konrath universe, popping into many familiar books and stories. Prepare to be shocked and amazed by scenes that are just plain wrong. This ebook is meant to be read out of order, depending on the path you, the reader, choose.
