First up is Alma TC Boykin’s latest Familiars book- Healers, Hunters, and Hearts

As always, click on the cover for the Amazon link.

The blurb-

Birds of mischief flock together …

Healer and Hunter, Deborah Chan Lestrang makes her way in the world as an herbalist and Healer who also hunts fell creatures when needed. Tensions inside her extended family call for a healer of hearts as well—a task far trickier, perhaps, than easing physical pain.

Weaker magic workers report being harassed by birds, birds inside a shield. Foul creatures appear, brought by a gate-spell cast by a coven. Or was it?

An old ill resurfaces …

Word comes from the north of a new drug, one that seems to grant magical abilities to those who take it. And that does not kill them as quickly as heart’s fire did. Could the birds of ill omen and the new pharmaceutical be related?

Next is James Totten with a new short story in his Breaching Ain’t Easy world- Annie’s Got A Gun

The blurb-

Ukraine is becoming a very dangerous place. Suicide drones attack civilians and infrastructure with impunity after all of the $100k surface to air missiles are gone and the “flack tracks” run out of bullets. In a horror show of a war, it’s time for some good old American ingenuity. Pole Dance Aviation, a Private Military Company, is established by its charismatic owner Jason Kane to assist with counter drone operations. Flying highly modified Cold War airframes, PDA gets down to the nitty gritty of shooting suicide drones out of the sky far cheaper than launching missiles that cost thousands of dollars a shot to kill hundred dollar drones. What happens if a PDA aircraft gets shot down? Send in the downed aircraft crew recovery platoon, The Shitheads, and they will fast rope into hell to get the pilots out. No fight is too tough and no enemy to too bad to keep the Shitheads from doing the deed and getting the pilots back. The Shitheads are supported by a cast of character’s, planes with call signs like Spy and Fat Amy, pilots named Axel and GO Juice, and leaders named Turtle and Mikey (that pre-workout fueled fight junkie will eat ANYTHING). Come along for the nonstop thrill ride set in the near future with headlines ripped out of tomorrow’s news feed. Oh, did I mention, Annie… yeah, she is there too, and she got a gun!! Mount up for grueling action as the Shitheads take on all comers in this high tech fight to the death on tomorrow’s battlefield in Eastern Ukraine!
And last but not least, Raconteur Press with another Wyrd West anthology- Cursed Canyon

The blurb-

What tales are you fixin’ to encounter here? You may encounter an inexperienced, in-over-his-head County Wizard trying to settle a dispute between landowners who seem to have escalated to using black magic in their feud. Or you might find a preacher and hooker fighting to save their town from some cult-like evil. Shapeshifters and werewolves may appear in one or t’other.

On the edges of civilization, here is where humanity encounters the wyrd in these tales of the Old West! The dangers are far more than the battle with nature–ride along with these authors into the strangest places, where the stories of the bold and the adventurous can claim to have survived the unknown.

Enjoy them and enjoy your weekend!!!
