Infinity Plus Singles: A New Line Of Cheap, Bite-sized Ebooks From Top Genre Authors

Oct. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- October 2011:
Short story ebooks from Iain Rowan, John Grant, Eric Brown, Keith Brooke, Kit Reed, Sarah Ash, Kaitlin Queen, Anna Tambour, Lisa Tuttle, Neil Williamson and more.

Back in 1997 the original infinity plus website started out on the principle that we'd all benefit if a bunch of authors got together and put stories online for free: readers would get a chance to discover new writers, and those writers might share readers around and sell a few more books; and in the meantime, we'd build an online showcase crammed with excellent reading.

Now an ebook imprint, infinity plus is still going strong. With the new infinity plus singles series we're returning to those launching principles: here's a bunch of genre authors getting together to make their work available cheaply, giving readers the chance to sample and discover before — we hope — going on to buy our books.

infinity plus singles launched in October 2011 with five titles, two of them already award winners (Iain Rowan's Derringer Award-winning crime story One Step Closer and Eric Brown's Interzone readers' poll winner science fiction, The Time-Lapsed Man).
