December has a lot going for it. Holidays, cookie baking, carolling, my birthday…. But for new books, it’s usually a bit of a slump. There’s always new blends, though, even in the low tide of publishing. I enjoyed TIME AND TIME AGAIN quite a bit, if you are in the mood for time travel goodness. And in the historical romance subgenre, two of my favorte authors have new books, Sarah MacLean and Loretta Chase. Alternate History is rarely done better than Ian Tregillis, who continues the series begun with THE MECHANICAL. Finally, I am a huge fan of the weird west branch of steampunk, where the action takes place in the American Old West. THE CURSE OF JACOB TRACY is another strong entry in this exciting subgenre. No matter what your tastes, hopefully there is a blend here for you!
