Wednesday New Releases in SciFi and Fantasy Romance for August 24

I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts LOL) and as always I recommend sampling before you buy!

I put them in the order in which they come to me from authors or I find them myself in the previous week, so it’s a mix of the genres…(usually giving priority to the books brought to my attention by the authors.) Also the term “new” is generally plus or minus a week or two. And I catch up on ones I missed in recent mont...

“Excuse me,” Sara said, “Was the earlier announcement about pirates on the level?”

The crew member didn’t stop walking but she gave Sarah an odd look, “It’s not a rare occu...

Veronica Does a Magazine Book Quiz

Entertainment Weekly magazine runs an occasional feature where they ask famous people about books or pop culture in their lives, so I’ve decided to tackle a sampling of their fun questions!

Book I Loved As A Child: Can’t possibly stick to just one! As a little kid I loved Golden Books. You can see a certain theme in the ones I’ve photographed (yes, I have a handful of books from my childhood, more than I can get into the picture). I also loved Heidi and Swiss Family Robinson. There was also a...

Guest Author Liza O’Connor THE CRIMELORDS’ WAR

Veronica: Because I don’t exclusively talk about science fiction and fantasy! Liza is back to introduce her characters and give us an excerpt:

MEET BARNS

Barns is a mixture of high intelligence and petulance. Almost all of his fellow officers at Scotland Yard hold him in contempt. They believe the only reason why Barns received a place and is given the most interesting cases is because he’s related to some big-wig in parliament. (This is all conjecture on their part, but it’s pretty accurate....

Last excerpt from Star Cruise: Outbreak, which by the way, just got announced as a Finalist in the “I Heart Indie” contest! WHEE!

I’ve had another book come out since OUTBREAK that never got excerpted here, plus a new one coming in September, so…we’re going to leave Emily and...
