Happy Monday! Summer is over for us as the kids go back to school on Tuesday. This makes me unhappy. I really like having them here. It's not that I won't see them both after school, but life will be much more hectic for everyone. On the other hand I should get a lot more reading and writing done. My reading has been very light since the end of January for RL reasons. Hopefully I will begin to catch up on everything soon.
August is ending with 5 debuts!
Twilight Hunter (The Execution Underground 1) by Kait Ballenger;
Saxon's Bane by Geoffrey Gudgion (I highly recommended you read this.);
Children of Fire (The Chaos Born 1) by Drew Karpyshyn;
Billy Moon by Douglas Lain; and
The Returned by Jason Mott.
And from formerly featured Debut Author Challenge Authors:
The Exodus Towers (The Dire Earth Cycle 2) by Jason M. Hough. The first novel in The Dire Earth Cycle, The Darwin Elevator, came out last month. It's an excellent read and a very, very self-assured debut so pick that up along with The Exodus Towers. The third novel in the series, The Plague Forge, will be out on September 24, 2013 so you won't have too long to wait because you will want the next book right away.
Chosen (Alex Verus 4) by Benedict Jacka. This is a terrific UF series featuring Alex Verus, a mage who can see possible futures. Alex is fantastic and the books are great fun and very well written.
