My cousin thanked me this week for introducing her to Faith Hunter. (Thank you, Debi. I love you.) I thought it might also be worth introducing my readers to some other authors/books that you will like if you like Faith Hunter and Patricia Briggs.
First of all, I love Faith and Patty, so keep reading their books. Patty’s new one comes out in March (although I have already read it…jealous?). Faith has a new anthology, Blood in her Veins coming out as well. More on both of those in the near future.
In the meantime, there are some other authors you should be reading if you like their work.
Gail Martin. Go read the Deadly Curiosities series. I’m reading the second one, and I love the characters. Totally fun.
John Hartness’ Quincy Harker novellas. A mix of Harry Dresden and Constantine, all are fun reads. The latest is the best.
Jennifer Estep. She’s got a new one coming out too (also to be featured on this blog) but if you haven’t started with number one in the Gin Blanco series, you are missing out. Go get number one and get started.
Laura Anne Gilman. Her Cosa Nostradamus books, start with the Retrievers series. Laura Anne’s newest one, Silver on the Road, is a weird western, also worth reading, but a different genre.
Linda Robertson’s Persephone series. I have it on good authority that the seventh book in the series is in the works.
Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty series is lighthearted yet serious. The last one, Kitty Saves the World, just came out this past year to much acclaim.
I know Charlaine Harris is famous for True Blood on HBO, but her Midnight Crossroad series is really my favorite. Check it out if you haven’t.
Also, Diana Pharaoh Francis, Karen Chance, C.E. Murphy, Seanan McGuire, David B. Coe, Alethea Kontis, Deborah Blake, Lucienne Diver, and Rachel Caine.
If you want to laugh and solve mysteries at the same time, try Casey Daniels, who lives in NE Ohio, somewhere near me. Her Piper Martin series is a hoot. (Debi, I’m looking at you if you haven’t tried her books yet.)
David B. Coe and C.E. Murphy have both done/are doing crossover stories with Faith. The best way to stay on top of everything these great folks are doing is SUBSCRIBE to their enewsletters. Don’t rely on Facebook. Here is the link to Faith’s webpage. You can sign up on the right hand side.
Some other writers, like Tamsin Silver, who I’ve profiled before, have new things in the works as well as things out that you might have missed. More in the future.
I KNOW I left out a lot of people. This isn’t an exhaustive list. Let me know in the comments who I forgot.
