Wild Card by Jamie Wyman It was bad enough that gods gambled with human souls, but Catherine Sharp's soul just had to be won by the Greek goddess of Discord, Eris. As if working a dead-end tech support job didn't suck the life out of her as it was. Now, Cat finds herself performing random tasks for the goddess in her free time. But when Coyote, the Native American trickster himself, claims to have won her own soul in Mayhem's weekly poker game, Cat wants in on the action. With five sneaky gods upping the ante, Cat needs to find a way to collect the winning chips that could save her soul. Marius, a handsome yet irritating satyr with his own debt to Eris, might finally come in handy for something. If they play their cards right and work together, Cat and Marius may just get their freedom back. If they don't kill each other—or fall in love—first.

Wild Card (Entangled Select)

This anthology of collected poems by Jamie Wyman describe difficult memories of painful relationships and depression, but also heartfelt topics like recovering from abuse and mental illness, as well as finding true love. The book begins with darker poems, but moves towards lighter and more positive works as the book progresses. "The Hornets in My Stomach" shows that when even in a dark place, it is always possible to come out shining in the end.

The Hornets in My Stomach

Winter, and the Soggiorno Brothers' Traveling Wonder Show has pulled into its berth in Peru, Indiana; Sanford "Crash" Haus, proprietor and genius, and his friend, surgeon and retired soldier Jim "Dandy" Walker, are looking forward to a quiet few months. But then the Show's old manager, Professor Sylvestri, comes into town, his ward in tow, and happily, too, because the Strong Man and the Tattooed Lady have just announced their betrothal, and the good Professor happens to be a minister. Preparations for the happy day begin, but it seems violence and misfortune attend on them... The Case of the Tattooed Bride is the first of three new novellas following on from the stories in Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets. Includes the story "A Scandal in Hobohemia."

The Case of the Tattooed Bride

THREE VERY DIFFERENT BAKER STREETS. THREE VERY DIFFERENT SHERLOCKS. THREE EXTRAORDINARY NEW CASES. Brilliant, distracted, sarcastic, abrasive, superior, fiercely loyal and—above all—ferociously principled, Sherlock Holmes is a hero for all times. Every era has its thieves and monsters, its exploiters and abusers, and in every era the detective of Baker Street will piece together the clues and bring the guilty to book. In alt.sherlock.holmes, the creators of Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets have invited three talented writers to bring startling visions of the Great Detective and the redoubtable Doctor Watson to the page: as a carnival owner and fortune teller in the ’thirties American Dust Bowl, as a drugged-up, tuned-out weirdnik in ’sixties New York City, and as the most irregular consultant in present-day Hollywood. The game’s afoot! Whether hunting a vandal, a killer, or a shadowy conspiracy, in Indiana, California or New York, Holmes and Watson are on the case.
