    Default Deathstroke's Book Notes Update Thread

    Instead of multiple threads each time I have anything to report about books, I'm just going to have one thread to put everything in.

    The first bits of information are:

    Rock N' Roll Books will release author Jake Brown's new book Motley Crue In The Studio on August 16th. You can read more details here!

    Here's a news article about a rather odd pairing of authors that comes out of this past weekend's Book Expo. Article link!

    I didn't know you covered books too, heh.

    Noticing a distinctly music flavoured vibe to these books reports. :)

    I cover what I can. I have a huge assortment of author's sites bookmarked and I occasionally go through and grab whatever news I can find on them.

    This thread is not updated too often just when I find something good.

    Here's some REAL book news:

    One of my favorite mystery authors, Ellen Hart, will have her new Jane Lawless novel out this month (August 2005). I'm not sure of the exact date, but the title of the book is The Iron Girl.

    Patricia Cornwell's new Kay Scarpetta book Predator will be released October 25th, 2005. I'm hoping it's better than the last one, Trace.

    The new Gary Braver medical thriller Flashback will be on bookshelves October 1st.

    The next Terry Brooks novel High Druid Of Shannara: Straken has a release date of September 6th, 2005.


    The brand new Honor Harrington novel by David Weber is entitled At All Costs. It will be out in November 2005.

    I doubt it. This is a series that should have ended a long time ago, maybe around the time of Black Notice.

    I've liked all of the books up to Trace, so I can't agree with that.
