About this author

Rob Thurman is currently writing three series for Penguin Putnam's imprint ROC FANTASY: The CAL LEANDROS Novels, The TRICKSTER Novels, and The CHIMERA Novels.

Her first book, NIGHTLIFE, was released in 2006. She has written eight books to date and is releasing two more in 2011. She has also written for a Charlaine Harris & Toni L.P. Kelner Anthology, WOLFSBANE AND MISTLETOE.

Although she does not write Young Adult, her first Urban Fantasy book in The CAL LEANDROS Series—NIGHTLIFE—received a 2011 Eliot Rosewater Award Nomination for Excellence in High School Libraries—rather to her bemusement as she'd be the first to say her books are not for younger teens. Apparently, the librarians and teens disagree!

Rob's work is dark, non-stop action...more


The brilliant author and all aroundwonderful person, Lisa Shearin, has a book coming out tomorrow (Tuesday.) Check out that gorgeous art! Her website is www.lisashearin.com if you want a chance for a free book or to roam about and find excerpts from this fun-as-hell series. (And she adopts greyhounds–former racing dogs which puts her on the side of the angels.)

Jam packed with all the things I love in books guns, action, brothers and a ferret! Had me on my toes to the end of the book and then became sad as I realised that I had finished and may have to wait a while before the next book. sigh.

" The second book in the Chimera series is just as fast paced and interesting as the first one. This time around we get Misha's perspective on the situation and he's really grown in the three years since the end of Chimera; at least he's certain he... "

“I have people in my life, of course. Some write; some don't. Some read; some don't. Some stare vacantly into space when I talk the geeky talk and walk the geeky walk, but they make killer chocolate chip pancakes and so all is forgiven.”
Rob Thurman

“When life gives you lemons. . . You might as well shove 'em where the sun don't shine, because you sure as hell aren't ever going to see any lemonade.”
Rob Thurman, Nightlife

“Pick up your clothes. I am not your maid. How do I know this? A maid cannot kill you with a tube sock. I can. ”
