Self-published Authors Appreciation Week - Non-Fiction

 Non Fiction

There are  a tremendous amount of self published books out there.  This week The Fish Shelf, along with other bloggers, is highlighting self published authors and indie publishers that could use a bit more recognition.

Today we are focusing on non-fiction

Claire Ridgway’s  books about the Boleyns are great reads, and very informative.

Rosen Trevithick’s No Shades of Grey  is a great parody, though very short.

Robert Shore’s Fifty Things to Come out of the Mid-Lands  is a love letter to the Mid-Lands of England.

Amanda LeDuc’s Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability and Making Space is a great look at disability and fairy tales.

Vanessa Baden Kelley’s Far Away From Close to Home is a most read collection of essays about being a Black women in America.

Anna Goldberg’s memoir, I Belong to Vienna, details her family and its time in Europe during the Holocaust.

Agnes Poirir’s Notre Dame: The Soul of France is a good general history of the cathedral

Simon Worrall  has several pieces of his journalistic work up. 

Kirsten Anderberg’s 51 Feminist Essays is a collection of  interesting essays about the feminist perspective.

Penny Loeb’s My Name is Angel is a true story about a donkey.  If you like donkeys, you should read it.

Bryan Jordan’s Elite Eleven  is out dated because since its publication two more horses have won the Triple Crown.  However, it still is a good read if you like horses.

Matthew G. Young’s Zenyatta is a bit focused on the mechanics of betting but does give you information about the horse.

Carol Derbyshire writes very well about the Tudors.

Jim C. Hines  has edited a series of works Invisible about diversity and inclusivity in sci-fi and fantasy.  Proceeds are donated to various causes.

Sara Hammel’s The Strong Ones is an account of the 1995 strength test that the US army conducted as part of the drive to change the rules that prohibited women from taking part in combat.

Booksumo Press has several cookbooks out.  Their recipes are usually sound.  My fussy fan raised his eyebrows when I started using them, but has loved every recipe that I have cooked from the savory pies and Bavarian cookbooks.
