Genre fiction - as opposed to nonfiction, graphic novels and picture books - lends itself to enjoyable Kindle reading because when you pick up a book of fiction you don't necessarily expect it to be illustrated. Authors of mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, romance novels and westerns paint word pictures and their readers use their own imagination to picture the scene of the crime or the stare of a vampire or the track of an alien space craft hurtling towards earth.

Spend less time searching for new genre fiction and more time reading it as I watch for newly-released genre fiction in the Kindle Store so you don't have to. Recent genre fiction releases in romance and western fiction include:

ROMANCE

Simple Irresistible: A Lucky Harbor Novel by Jill Shalvis. Forever, 2010. Print Length: 336 p. Kindle edition $6.99. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.

"In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother - a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington. Starting over won't be easy. Yet Maddie sees the potential for a new home and a new career - if only she can convince her two half-sisters to join her in the adventure. The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes - and mouth - are making it hard for her to remember that she's sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie's struggles to overcome the past, though she's about to discover that there's no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor." - Amazon.

And her boss is none other than...Jake Finley, the owner's son. For Jake, holiday memories of brightly wrapped gifts, decorated trees and family were destroyed in a Christmas Eve tragedy years before. Now Christmas means just one thing to him - and to his father. Profit. Because they need a Christmas miracle to keep the business afloat. Holly Larson needs a miracle, too. She wants to give her eight-year-old nephew, Gabe, the holiday he deserves. Holly's widowed brother is in the army and won't be home for Christmas, but at least she can get Gabe that toy robot from Finley's, the one gift he desperately wants. If she can figure out how to afford it... Fortunately, it's Mrs. Miracle to the rescue. Next to making children happy, she likes nothing better than helping others - and that includes doing a bit of matchmaking!" - Amazon.

The Devil Wears Plaid by Teresa Medeiros. Simon & Schuster, 2010. Print Length: 384 p. Kindle edition $7.99. Text-to-Speech: Disabled.
"Emmaline’s wedding day is rudely interrupted when a strapping Highlander and his men kidnap her and carry her off to the mountains. Despite its lavishness, her wedding isn’t that important to her given that she is sacrificing herself to a wealthy, old, decrepit earl to pay off her father’s gambling debts. Jamie Sinclair is demanding a ransom for her return, but Emmaline’s capture is more about family honor and the centuries-long feud between the Sinclairs and the Hepburns... Medeiros is a superb storyteller. Both primary and secondary characters are vividly three-dimensional; her plot is full of tasty twists, and Medeiros can pull every last emotion from the reader with tear-inducing scenes and laugh-out-loud dialogue." - Shelley Mosley for Booklist.

Worse, her father is the head of a CIA agency bent on hunting the undead..." - Amazon.

Annabel Lake knows a thing or two about brewing beer. She runs her family brewery, and hopes that her plan to export her October ale to India will result in a tremendous financial windfall. But Annabel needs Jarret’s help, and Jarret seems oddly disinterested, until Annabel comes up with a wager he simply cannot refuse..." - John Charles for Booklist.

WESTERNS

The Canyon of Bones by Richard S. Wheeler. Forge Books, 2010. Print Length: 336 p. Kindle edition $6.99. Text-to-Speech: Enabled.
"It is the late 1850s and Skye, a deserter from the Royal Navy, and his Crow Indian wife, Victoria, agree that Skye should take a second Indian wife to produce a son. Skye marries Blue Dawn, a beautiful, young Shoshone woman, and the trio is hired to guide brash English explorer and journalist Graves Duplessis Mercer to see a mysterious canyon full of dinosaur bones. Skye, happy with two wives, doesn't care much for Mercer, whose arrogance and selfishness endangers the whole party. The details of Skye's courtship and wedding are hilarious, and the fieldcraft the group must employ to survive the harsh wilderness is suspenseful and instructive. Wheeler is one of the best western authors around today. He doesn't rely on epic battles or gunfights to tell his stories, relying instead on fascinating characters, vivid imagery, subtle action and carefully drawn historical detail." - Publishers Weekly.

"Cotton Pickens made it through fifth grade. That and a tin star were good enough to make him the sheriff in the boomtown of Doubtful, Wyoming. And Doubtful’s name is no accident. The saying around town is, If you’re a lawman, it’s doubtful you’ll last a day. Spoiled, brash King Bragg is going to hang for the murder of three men in a barroom. But King’s arrogant father - and his beautiful sister - use their powers of persuasion to convince Cotton to look into the shooting.
