Spring is in the air. Well, not today, but soon. Here’s “The Short List” of science fiction and fantasy new releases for March.

There’s lots of great books coming out this month. There were some difficult decisions to keep this list under 10. But that’s why I get paid the big bucks. (Full Financial Disclosure: Yeah, not so much). There are some cool offerings this month, and I am not sure how I’ll spend my book budget over that span. Which book sounds most interesting to you? Leave me a comment. I’d love to know.

The Short List



Good Guys by Steven Brust – March 6

The Foundation is a secret group that finds people with special abilities (in this case that translates to “magic”) and brings them in and trains them…. then puts them to work…for minimum wage. Sounds more like a true story?

Order Good Guys on Amazon now.



The Coincidence Makers by Yoav Blum – March 6

What if when that seemingly random event happened to you, it wasn’t a coincidence at all. What if there was a secret organization whose sole task was to engineer seemingly random events? Is it a thriller? Is it a love story? Is it a mystery? All good questions.

Order your copy of The Coincidence Makers today.

Hard choice, but this is Grumpy’s best bet this month. I’m dying to know what the overarching benefits of arranging coincidences are. Sounds like great fun.



The Warrior Within by Angus McIntyre – March 6

A small town mayor on an out of the way planet has the personalities and skill sets of 12 different people living inside his mind, and each would love to take control over the others. When commandos show up hunting for a woman, he must decide whether to tap those skills, thus endangering his own control, in order to save his town and the woman he may love.

Order The Warrior Within from Amazon.



Zero Limit by Jeremy K. Brown – March 6

Moon based thrillers seem to be the thing lately. I recently reviewed Artemis by Andy Weir. Last month, Gunpowder Moon released. Caitlin Taggart, the war hero, needs to make her living by mining on the moon, and she just wants to get back to Earth where her daughter is. Money is an issue, so she takes a risky job harvesting an asteroid. When things go wrong, it endangers not only Caitlin and her team, but everyone on Earth, and the clock is ticking.

The Feed by Nick Clark Windo – March 13

The Feed is Windo’s name for the Internet or Facebook or both. The world is turbo connected and then they aren’t when a huge event causes the collapse of society and the technology that connects it. Normally, that would be enough, but when a little girl goes missing, there is no good way to search for her without technology. Mystery thriller meets Mad Max, right?

Order The Feed today.



Flotsam by RJ Theodore – March 27

This one sounds fun. A steampunk smash featuring magic, technology, aliens, airships, cults, fantasy and scifi all mixed together. It’s like literary Paella, and it sounds like a great read.

Order Flotsam from Amazon today.



Moonstruck Vol. 1: Magic to Brew by Grace Ellis, Illustrated by Shae Beagle and Kate Leth – March 27

A graphic novel entry to The Short List. Julie is just your run of the mill, everyday werewolf barista. She just wants to enjoy her date at a magic show, but the magician casts a bad spell on Julie’s pal Chet. Now the team of friends need to stop the magician. Did I mention there’s coffee?

Order Moonstruck Volume 1: Magic to Brew right now.



The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton – March 27

A fantasy epic that tells more of the story of King Lear from the points of view of his three daughters, all of which have their own motives, some less scrupulous than others. Shakespeare lives on. Gratton is a notable YA author and this is her first stand alone adult novel.

Order The Queens of Innis Lear now from Amazon.



Void Black Shadow (Voidwitch Book 2) by Corey J. White – March 27

I enjoyed reviewing Killing Gravity, the first book in this series, last year. I enjoyed the character Mars Xi that Corey White created, a genetically created supersoldier with a bit of an anti-social personality. MEPHISTO is back and the last time they challenged her, it didn’t go well.

Get your order in for Void Black Shadow now.

If these aren’t enough for you, here’s the entire list of scifi and fantasy new releases. This list is huge and it is updated hourly. Check it out.
