Every month, we do a cool thing on Liminal Fiction (LimFic.com) to support indie writers. We share 4 of their books with our readers for free, and then add those readers (only with permission) to the author lists. It's a great way to get some new reads, "meet" a few up and coming authors, and forge new connections. :)

This month's books are below. Grab 'em here (we send them out around the 3rd of next month):
