They might make more sense if read in chronological order of events (Thunder City, Whiskey River, Jitterbug, Edsel, Motown, Stress, King of the Corner) but since they weren't written that way, it probably won't matter.

Let me start out with the "author's" disclaimer that he is not an author, nor highly educated. His effort has more than its fair share of typos and misspellings. I find the pace a little tiresome because he goes into the minutia of everyday events. (Chores and housekeeping.)
Having said that; I love the story, and happily wade through what I consider the slow parts. It is set in 1873 Texas and chronicles a woman, alone on the prairie. Her husband left 11 weeks ago promising to return in 4 days.
The writer is a religious man, and so are his characters. They rely on God when things go wrong and praise him when they go right. Check it out. It is certainly worth the price. (free) In truth, I'd happily pay, at least if not more, the same price for this as any Louis L'amour book.

Empire of Silence Book One The Sun Eater by Christopher Ruocchio. I bought this during a book bomb put on by Larry Correia. It’s a Space Opera Fantasy series and it’s good!

Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy.
I’ve been enjoying the “Sir John Fielding” series. They’re mysteries set in 1770s London. The author’s kind of mimicking the writing style of the tome, so they’re sort of wordy.
The Federalist Papers is currently free for Kindle.

Sweet Silver Blues (Garret PI series) by Glen Cook. I saw this recommended on FB. I just finished it. I liked it and I’ve started reading the second in the series. It’s a private eye/fantasy series.
It should have been a simple job. But for Garrett, a human detective in a world of gnomes, tracking down the woman to whom his dead pal Danny left a fortune in silver is no slight task. Even with the aid of Morley, the toughest half-elf around, Garrett isn't sure he'll make it out alive from a land where magic can be murder, the dead still talk, and vampires are always hungry for human blood.

With your taste for sci-fi I believe you would thoroughly enjoy the Charles Stross "Laundry" series. The Laundry being the arm of British Intelligence that deals with gibbering horrors who somehow make it into our plain of existence and Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant series, about the arm of the British Metropolitan Police that deals with some very sinister magicians. I highly recommend the Grant series be listened to in audio book form as Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, the narrator, is amazingly talented. Two of my favorite 'mind-candy' confections!
