The High City by Cecelia Holland Her web site is here: http://www.thefiredrake.com/novels.html A favorite author who stopped writing for quite a while. A nicely detailed look at one of the better emperors who succeeded Constantine the Great.
Mischief 24/7 by Kasey Michaels. Her web site is here: http://www.kaseymichaels.com/ This is the last of the Sunshine girls mysteries. The eldest of the sisters brings the last two mysteries to a conclusion and copes with an ex-husband who still loves her. Note: there will almost certainly be a follow up story with the same characters. The original mystery is solved in this book.
Linda Lael Miller's new series Montana Creeds: Logan. Her web site is here: http://www.lindalaelmiller.com/ Logan's back home to put down roots and live down the Creed reputation. A divorcée with two young boys looks like a good bet for the roots part but then her ex shows up.
Dead and Berried by Karen MacInerney Her web site is here: http://www.karenmacinerney.com/ The second of three Gray Whale Inn mystery, read out of order. That meant dealing with spoilers mentioned in the third book. Still a good read though.
Espresso Shot by Cleo Coyle, Her web site is here: http://www.coffeehousemystery.com/ Another Coffee House mystery. Clare gets her ex-married off, but its a struggle to keep somebody from offing the bride. Just goes to show: enough caffeine can solve anything.
Imager by L E Modesitt, Jr His web site is here: http://www.lemodesittjr.com/ An new fantasy series by this author. I like some of his work but not others. This was an enjoyable read even if parts of the dialog were a little to agenda driven.
A Body to Die For by G A McKevett. This is a pen name for Sonja Massie. Her web page is here: http://www.sonjamassie.com/ As McKevett she has a mySpace page here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=87573272 This is a Savannah Reid mystery. A quirky cast of favorite characters. Savannah has plenty of Southern charm but if that wont work she'll slap you side of the head with her gun.
Crystal Soldier and Crystal Dragon by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller Their web site is here: http://www.korval.com/ Re-reads of prequels, literally, to the Liaden universe.
A Face in the Window by Sarah Graves. A mystery set in Eastport, Maine. Graves web site is here: http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/graves/index.html An exotic local this isn't, but very good stories. Much darker than most of the series but enjoyable reading.
Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce Her web site is here: http://www.tamora-pierce.com/ This is the second of her books about Becca Cooper. Rated as YA but don't let that stop you from reading both books.
Revenge of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz. Her web site is here: http://lisalutz.com/ Those wacky Spellmans are back. Proving once again that the family that detects together is in serious trouble.
Grave Goods by Ariana Franklin. Her web site is here: http://www.arianafranklin.com/ This is the third in the Mistress of the Art of Death series. A fascinating time in history, an engaging heroine and an English King, Henry II who really needs Arthur to be dead.
Among the Mad by Jacqueline Winspear. Her web site is here: http://www.jacquelinewinspear.com/
Another in the Maise Dobb's stories. Life moves on for Maise even as a spectacular suicide is the start of serious trouble for London. Terrorists are NOT a new thing.
The September Society by Charles Finch His web site is here: http://www.charles-finch.com/ A mystery set in mid-Victorian England. A good mystery and a likeable hero.
The Dangerous Book for DemonSlayers by Angela Fox Her web page is here: http://angiefox.wordpress.com/ Supernatural mayhem and fun. Don't take this book seriously. Just seriously enjoy it.
The Forthcoming Wizard by Jody Lynn Nye Her web site is here: http://www.sff.net/people/JodyNye/ The second book about wizard in training Tildi. A smallfolk who is neither small of heart or power. A Maker is searching for the Book. Will he find it before Tildi and her friends find him.
Storm Glass by Maria V Snyder Her web site is here: http://www.mariavsnyder.com/ This is set in the same world of magic as the Study series but with a different focus character. Glass has many magical properties.
Storm from the Shadows by David Weber He doesn't really have a web site. This is essentially a list of his books available from Baen: http://www.baen.com/author_catalog.asp?author=DWeber
This is an Honorverse book. That is, its set in the same universe with many of the same characters as the Honor Harrington series. She does make some brief appearances but this book focuses on Michele "Mike" Henke, and the thickening Manpower plot. (Note if you've not been keeping track this is only the 5th male author on this list.)
Undone by Rachel Caine This is her web site. http://www.rachelcaine.com/Home.html This is set in her weather warden universe. It focuses on different characters and seems to be running parallel to Ill Wind. A new series, a good read, but seriously now a pink haired, albino, former djinn biker chick?.
