FROM SARAH A. HOYT: A SALE ON MY FIRST THREE EVER PUBLISHED BOOKS:

Ill Met by Moonlight is free to the end of the year

All Night Awake and Any Man so Daring are 99c a piece each, so you can own the entire trilogy for $1.98).  Warning, these are “literary fantasy” and rather different than most (except for some short stories) of the rest of my work.  Not illegitimate representations of it, as such, but things I only feel like doing once a decade or so.  I had originally planned two more books in this series.  They might even happen… one day.
If you like Shakespeare, however, you might enjoy it even as is.

The first was a Mythopoeic Award Finalist, a fairly rare honor for a first book.

IT’S THE FACT IQ SCORES REALLY MEASURE  SCHOLARLY COMPETENCE, AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE DETERMINED TRAINING KIDS NOT TO THINK.  NO, I’M NOT JOKING. I HAD TO FIGHT THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY TO PRESERVE SONS’ ABILITY TO THINK. WE’RE GOING TO NEED MASS CULT DEPROGRAMMING TO SAVE WESTERN CIVILIZATION:  Western IQ scores are falling. Is it computers or something else?

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FAIR? FOR HIM TO BE HANGED CUT DOWN WHILE STILL LIVING, AND HIS ENTRAILS BURNED BEFORE HIS EYES WHILE LISTENING TO SOB-POETRY BY PROMINENT SF WRITER’S WIFE ON HOW UNJUST ALL THIS IS, THEN DRAWN AND QUARTERED POUR ENCOURAGER LES AUTRES.  WHAT? OKAY, SO THE POETRY MIGHT BE CRUEL:  Boston Marathon Bomber Appeals, Says Trial In Boston Was Unfair.

THEY’RE STILL TAKING TAXES OUT OF PAYCHECKS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS STILL WORKING:  Shutdown? What Shutdown?

SO, YEARS AGO WHEN I GOT ILL, THERE WAS A SEQUEL TO THIS ALMOST READY TO COME OUT.  NOW THERE ARE TWO SEQUELS ALMOST READY TO COME OUT. AND YEAH, I’M FEELING WAY BETTER.  AND THIS IS ON SALE FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS FOR 99C.  YEAH, THE COVER SUCKS (I’M ABOUT TO REPLACE IT) AND I NEED TO REDO THE BLURB, BUT SUCH AS IT IS:
FROM SARAH A. HOYT, ON SALE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS:  Witchfinder.

In Avalon, where the world runs on magic, the king of Britannia appoints a witchfinder to rescue unfortunates with magical power from lands where magic is a capital crime. Or he did. But after the royal princess was kidnapped from her cradle twenty years ago, all travel to other universes has been forbidden, and the position of witchfinder abolished. Seraphim Ainsling, Duke of Darkwater, son of the last witchfinder, breaks the edict. He can’t simply let people die for lack of rescue. His stubborn compassion will bring him trouble and disgrace, turmoil and danger — and maybe, just maybe, the greatest reward of all.
