Before I start listing those titles that are slated for release during the summer and fall, let me clarify that some books may be available before the public releases listed here. For example, tomorrow, June 6th, Adrienne Kress is having a book launch for her newest book, Outcast, which Lesley Livingston, author of the Wondrous Strange series, calls,
"a refreshingly different take on angel mythology with a funny, gutsy, shotgun-toting heroine and a rivetingly sexy hero. Set in an eerie deep south town, OUTCAST is a spooky, spirited, compulsively readable story—charged with wit, wisdom, and bittersweet romance."Definitely a book on my radar. But below, you will see Outcast listed as a July release. After catalogues go to print, sometimes release dates change, earlier or later, or have multiple release dates, with launches in between. So, please accept the dates provided below for releases as approximate, based on information available when posted.
