Release Day and Other Awesome Things

Okay, it's Tuesday, which means release day all over the place.  But today isn't just any release day.  A few books I've been anxiously awaiting drop into the world today.

Ashes of Honor by Seanan McGuire - the latest in her October 'Toby' Daye series.  Yeah, I have a writerly crush on Seanan.  This series is part of the reason why.  (Her Newsflesh series as Mira Grant is the other part.)

Monster Hunter Legion by Larry Correia - I just discovered this guy so I'm not quite up to this book in the series yet.  But so far, they've been awesome.  I can't wait to read this one.

How to Drive a Dragon Crazy by G.A. Aiken - this series has been wicked hot fantasy with a snarky urban fantasy voice.  Can't wait to see what Aiken does with this story.

Power by Debra Webb - I haven't gotten around to this series yet, but Deb's a great gal (and a contributor at one of the first blogs I fell in love with - Murder She Writes).  The whole series sounds great.  And at $2.99 for the Kindle version, it's a steal.

ETA: Hunting the Siren by Jeffe Kennedy - spice futuristic paranormal. Maybe too spicy for my tastes, but I love Jeffe, so of course, I'm going to encourage you to buy a copy.

ETA: Head Rush by Carolyn Crane - book three in her Disillusionists series. I've been waiting for this one for a while.  I can't believe I forgot it released today until just now.

Also in the news, my friend and awesome author J.B. Lynn has started a new blog to generate buzz and have a little fun ahead of the release of her newest book - Further Confessions of a Slightly Neurotic Hitwoman - called Slightly Neurotic Confessions.  Check it out, it sounds like a blast.

Also also wic*:

A blog buddy I hadn't heard from in like forever - Erica Ridley (formerly of the Manuscript Mavens) contacted me to let me know about the new anthology she's part of: Born to Bite - Three juicy stories that combine historical romance with paranormal.  Squee!

I know I'm missing like a bajillion awesome things, so help a gal out here.  What news do you have today? 

*Bonus points if you know where I got 'also also wic' from.
