New and upcoming books!
I’m sure everyone and their grandmother’s dog has heard of Cate Corrain’s foolishness and precipitous downfall by now. It’s a well-deserved one too. I don’t wade into drama here - that’s not what this blog is about. However, what she did was particularly egregious. It is amazing to me how some people who already have it all decide that ALL it isn’t enough. Not only do they want it all, but they have to destroy the work of others so that they have NOTHING.
This is called the zero-sum mindset. That’s also how you know that you’re dealing with someone with a personality disorder. But, I digress.
What I want to do is showcase the authors whom she attacked and their books. They look very promising to me and I may very well be throwing some of these on my TBR pile!
The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste
In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang
She has power over death. He has power over her. When two enemies strike a dangerous bargain, will they end a war . . . or ignite one?
So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole
Whip-smart and immersive, this Jamaican-inspired fantasy follows a gods-blessed heroine who’s forced to choose between saving her sister or protecting her homeland—perfect for fans of Iron Widow and The Priory of the Orange Tree.
A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L. Jensen
A shield maiden blessed by the gods battles to unite a nation under a power-hungry king—while also fighting her growing desire for his fiery son—in the first book of a Norse-inspired fantasy romance series from the bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom series.
Road To Ruin by Hana Li
An electrifying, gritty fantasy from debut author Hana Lee that takes a royal messenger on a high-speed chase across a climate-ravaged wasteland, featuring motorcycles, monsters, and magic.
The Empire Wars by Akure Phenix
The Empire Wars is a powerful YA debut where survival and magic are a deadly mix.
There is also R. M. Virtues Sing Me To Sleep, Drag Me Up, Katrina Kwan’s books and Thea Guanzon’s The Hurricane Wars.
There may be other authors that she targeted for her sock-puppetry. I will post their works here as I discover them. As for understanding the drama, and it is a doozy, these three ladies on YouTube have spilled it out for everyone on the details.
