The latest additions to The Library's collection

Novelettes Now Accepted

The Library will now offer a classification for novelette-length works, which include any work of fiction between approximately 7,500 and 19,000 words. Novelettes (NT), like novels and novellas, can be found in The Library’s long-form fiction categories:

• Contemporary

• Literary

• Historical

• Speculative

• Thriller & Mystery

• Romance

• Young readers

If you have a novelette you’d like to add to The Library, or a current listing you’d like to modify, please let us know. And, as always, if you have a complete or in-progress work you’d like added to The Library or an indie-published book to include in the Buy Indie section, follow this guide, and we’ll help spread the word.

And thanks again to everyone for helping us support indie authors!

Historical Fiction

Sparrow Bones | Macy Lu | Historical Fiction (NT) (C) (F)

Born during a maelstrom of political upheaval in post-Imperial China, The Girl and her brother are no strangers to the extremities of human suffering. Hunger, backbreaking labor, and abuse from local authorities are the norms of everyday life. But as government morality degrades, turning hunger into starvation and abuse into corruption, The Girl must decide how far she’s willing to push her own moral boundaries in order to protect those she loves.

Speculative

And So It Begins | TK Eldridge | Paranormal romance/romantic suspense (NA)

Jolene is the name she uses now - but she's had many names. Joan, Josephine, Johanna...yet she's always been just "Jo" to those she let get close. Name changes are part of one's existence when one is an intelligence operative - and when one is a vampire.  One of the founding members of S.I.N. - the Supernatural Intelligence Network, Jo spends her days helping to keep supernaturals under the radar of the general public - among other things. When a new man appears in her life, Jo has to decide if they'll stay enemies - or work together to keep the world safe from an old evil with a new face.
