We’re spending our summer planning a full schedule of amazing authors, films and literary insiders for this year’s Big Orange Book Festival, and we will be posting about some of the authors and events in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we wanted to catch up with some of authors from last year that have new books to add to your summer reading list.
Things that Go Bump in the Night
If vampires and werewolves don’t give you goosebumps, check out the latest in Jess Haines’ paranormal P.I. series, Forsaken by the Others, which comes out just in time for binge reading over the long fourth of July weekend.
If you’re looking for more undead adventures, Nancy Holder’s short story ‘Passion Play’ is featured in The Living Dead anthology alongside stories by Stephen King, George R.R. Martin and many others.
A Little Austen Perhaps?
Syrie James returns with The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen, which Publishers Weekly calls “A literary feast for Anglophiles…[with] an Austen-worthy ending.”
Sharon Lathan returns with The Passions of Dr. Darcy, the next book in her best-selling Darcy Saga. The New York Journal of Books says, “It’s a splendid tale of one man’s determination . . . to be the best in his chosen profession . . . and to find love.”
Get Lost in Worlds Apart
For fantasy fans, Garrett Calcaterra has released Dreamwielder, the epic adventure of a magical girl using the power of dreams to stop the extermination of magic in humans and their bond with nature.
In The Aylesford Skull, steampunk pioneer James P. Blaylock returns to the genre for the first time in more than twenty years with a new adventure featuring the brilliant but eccentric scientist and explorer Professor Langdon St. Ives.
