Are there any authors whose books you eagerly anticipate and tend to buy at launch? (pawb.social)

Nowadays I don't really have any authors or book series like this. As I kid I used to get really excited for a new Series of Unfortunate Events or Alex Rider book. For a while I kept my eye on Adrian Tchaikovsky, but lately I've found some of his novels to be hit or miss.

The only book release I'm currently looking forward to is Brigands & Breadknives in the Legends & Lattes series by Travis Baldree. The other two books have been cosy and wholesome, and it's become a little tradition of mine to read these books around Christmas.

I’ll read anything T Kingfisher puts out! I’m especially fond of her Paladin of Steel series and the Sworn Soldier series, but the standalone ones are great as well. The Twisted Ones is great if you want some Blair Witch, rural southern Appalachia horror. A House With Good Bones is also good southern horror that uses the supernatural as a way to explore breaking free from familial abuse.
