PUBLISHERS WEEKLY praises SEA CHANGE by Nancy Kress.

Kress wisely keeps her global catastrophe on a human scale, eschewing superheroic action for tense realism. This urgent, deeply satisfying story is as tenacious and inspiring as its heroine.

Ann Leckie recommends R. B. Lemberg’s forthcoming THE FOUR PROFOUND WEAVES.

This is one of R’s Birdverse stories, which I’ve recommended before. Their writing is lovely, their worldbuilding wonderful, their characters real and resonant. If you haven’t acquainted yourself with Birdverse yet, by all means do, and then be ready for this novella to come out next year.

Pamela Scott of THE BOOK LOVER’S BOUDOIR serves up the first review for Joe R. Lansdale’s OF MICE AND MINESTRONE.

I’ve read some things featuring Hap and Leonard before but wouldn’t say that I’m a massive fan. That may about to change because I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

NEW BOOK IN FANTASY AND ADVENTURE podcast selects THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR by Carrie Vaughn as their March book.

Review copies of Carrie Vaughn’s THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR are now available via EDELWEISS and NETGALLEY.

“A must have for Kitty Norville fans, but also an excellent standalone
for readers new to Vaughn’s worlds.” —Kelley Armstrong, author of Bitten
and Wherever She Goes

From Carrie Vaughn, author of the beloved Kitty Norville werewolf
talk-show host series, comes the vampire origin story of Kitty’s famed
ally, Rick—and his sudden turn to darkness in the seventeenth century.
More than 500 years before his friendship with Kitty, noble Ricardo de
Avila’s life met a fate-changing twist, and his morally-complex,
blood-soaked existence as an immortal began.

Before being turned, Ricardo de Avila would have followed Coronado to
the ends of the earth. Instead he found the end of his mortal life—and a
new one, as a renegade vampire.

For over five hundred years as an immortal, Ricardo has followed his
own moral code, upsetting the established order in the demon world. He
has protected his found family from marauding evil, joined up with a
legendary gunslinger, tended bar, appointed himself the Master of
Denver, and discovered a church buried under the Vatican.

The life of a vampire is frequently long, but for Rick, it is never easy.

Experience the princely cover to Carrie Vaughn’s THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR

Alec Checkerfield Uncategorized b&n sci-fi & fantasy blog, Carrie Vaughn, cover reveal, elizabeth story, kitty norville, rebecca harp, the immortal conquistador

The fine folks at B&N SCI-FI & FANTASY BLOG were the first to reveal the cover to New York Times bestselling author Carrie Vaughn’s THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR.

Amid the urban fantasy boom of the mid aughts, there were few series as reliable (or as popular) as Carrie Vaughn’s tales of Kitty Norville. The supernaturally-tinged adventures of the radio host-slash-werewolf continued for 14 books before coming to an end in 2015’s Kitty Saves the World, but she’s not quite done with the story yet.

Next year, Vaughn returns to Kitty’s world—albeit in unexpected fashion—to reveal the origins of a noble-born immortal who will one day become Rick, one of Kitty’s most trustworthy allies. THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR will show us how “Rick” began life as one Ricardo de Avila, a conquistador in service to Coronado, who found supernatural life long after his mortal one ended.

Below, check out the cover of the novel, with art by Rebecca Harp and design by Elizabeth Story, releasing next February from Tachyon Publications.

Discover the thrilling, deadly chronicles of the noble immortal who becomes Rick, ally to bestselling author Carrie Vaughn’s fan-favorite, Kitty Norville. Ricardo de Avila would have followed Coronado to the ends of the earth. Instead, Ricardo found the end of his mortal life, and a new identity—as the Vampire Conquistador. For over five hundred years, Ricardo keeps unwillingly upsetting the established order. He has protected his found family from marauding demons, teamed up with a legendary gunslinger, appointed himself the Master of Denver, and called upon a church buried under the Vatican. He has tended bar and fended off werewolves. Life for a vampire is long, but it is never simple.
