Boneyards is out!
My latest Diving novel officially hit all the stands today. Boneyards has received excellent reviews so far. Library Journal said: Rusch’s latest addition to her “Diving” series (Diving into the Wreck; City of Ruins) features a strong, capable female heroine and a vividly imagined far-future universe. VERDICT Blending fast-paced action with an exploration of the nature of friendship and the ethics of scientific discoveries, this tale should appeal to Rusch’s readers and fans of space opera. And RT Book Reviews gave it four stars: Filled with well-defined characters who confront a variety of ethical and moral dilemmas, Rusch’s third Diving Universe novel is classic space opera, with richly detailed worldbuilding and lots of drama. … Boss and Squishy face difficult questions about loyalty — to friends and to ideals — as the story rockets toward … Read entire article »

Fey 4: The Resistance Available in E-Book!
WMG Publishing has released The Resistance: The Fourth Book of the Fey in all e-book sites. I know this is big news for many of you since years ago, Bantam Books (for no reason at all) left books 1-3 and book 5 in print and took book 4 out of print. In England, you had a similar experience, since the publisher there decided not to publish the remaining two books in the series after my original editor (and the original publisher) left the company. It was almost impossible to get The Resistance if you came to the party late. There will be a trade paper edition later in the year. For now, though, you can find The Resistance for Kindle, Nook, on Smashwords, and in other e-bookstores. You can also find a copy for … Read entire article »

Mid-Month Novel Excerpt: City of Ruins
Once per month, I’ll publish an excerpt of one of my novels, and I hope you’ll be intrigued enough to buy the rest of the book. I began this practice in February. Unlike the free fiction I put up every Monday, the novel excerpts will remain on the site. If you want to read the opening to the previous eleven novels, click here. This month, I’ve excerpted City of Ruins, which is the second novel in the Diving series. I decided to post City because the third book in the Diving series, Boneyards, is coming out later this month. You don’t have to have read any of the other novels in the series to read this one, but you might enjoy it more if you read Diving Into the Wreck first. You can read an excerpt from … Read entire article »
