I'm going to do something I seldom do in this LJ: I am going to tell you that you (may, since I don't know your tastes in genres) want to go read a book that isn't even out yet. (I sometimes wait impatiently for books here, but I don't often recommend them pre-release...in fact, I'm not sure I ever have!)
That book is Rosemary and Rue by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seanan_mcguire, and it's due out from Daw books, September 1, 2009. It's listed at Amazon, but you won't find many details there yet since it's still so far out. (The page I linked to with the title is on the author's web site. The web site is still under construction, so some of the other pages may lead to 'coming soon', but that one has content!)
Modern fairy tale noir? Urban fairy tale mystery? I'm not so good with the labels. What it is, is wonderful, and it's faeries and changelings in modern day San Francisco. And wonderful. It's the first of a series, of which the first three books are contracted by Daw, but please don't let that put you off - IMO it stands alone nicely, so you shouldn't expect to hit the end of it and realize you're hanging in mid-air waiting for next year (a phenomenon I know some people object to).
I'm not pre-ordering from Amazon, but that's because I'll be pre-ordering through Powell's. I like supporting my local bookstore-chain (and encouraging them to notice this book and series).
