Waiting for stories

I regularly follow three or four authors and purchase their stories as soon as they are released.

My most regular lady writes a wonderful variety of short novellas mostly about snarky women set in shape shifter universes, universes based on an earth where aliens come to interview humans who might like to go into space. The author suffers from some sort of manic depressive diagnosis.  When she is manic the stories come and she has gradually cut back to a less insane schedule and has had periods where she is nearly incapacitated when she cycles depressive and she is on medication.

Another lady has rather crippling rheumatoid arthritis.  She has written about a future where a very isolated world has requested a language teacher.  The military industrial complex compels a young language teacher to go.  The story follow over three books of the years of the relationship between the teacher and the leader of the world.  Think of The King and I on Mars.  

A third woman seems to just be slow as her day job is as a nurse and that takes up gobs of her time.  She writes about a magical world where the Fae are the government and humans are servants.  One of the high Fae traveled about his lands administering to his lands and meets a human who has been turned out from her job.  She has a talent for reading books and she looks Fae, very white hair and is beautiful but has no magic.  She is hired by the Fae and becomes his librarian.  There is no High King in the land and there are plots by other Fae to usurp the crown.  The second book is set in the same story only some spell has been set that has destroyed a weather icon and it is raining, the world seems to be drowning, a human helps a high Fae with the evacuation and they discover that she has magic unlike anyone has ever seen.  I am waiting for a third book and the author has said that the editor has it.  Argggghhhhh!

A fourth author has been extremely prolific in the past, however she seems to be stuck getting to the third book of a projected trilogy the third one is due out in March.  we shall see.  This is the one who wrote about women kidnapped from a CIA base in Afghanistan.  The third book is about the CIA girl assassin who will most likely kick butt. However the author has blogged that she has been ill so......I have been blogging various scenarios and I will be very curious to see how close my "stories" come to her.  Drums fingers impatiently. 

In the meantime I troll Kindle Unlimited for free books and have a read a variety and then there are always contents of my Kindle library.
