Where do you look up new releases from your favorite authors without surfing their websites constantly?

Answer 1

book release datesI recently found a 'one stop shop' for these author email notifications (see below). At www.myhound.com you can sign up for free and receive an email alert once the release date of any author (or actor, musician, filmdirector, etc) you chose is known. Just search for the artist and drop in your email - that's it. The good thing about that site is that it also covers the less known artists, not only those that get the mass marketing by the big bookstores already. Hope that helps :)

One thing you could do is just surf one bookstore site, and look up each author to see if there is a planned release. I do it on Amazon.com, but I'm sure most online bookstores like Borders and Barnes and Noble and others have the same feature. Usually, they will have a feature where you can sign up to be notified by email if anything else comes out by a certain author, or in a certain category. ... That might save you some quality Surfing time. :)

Many publishers, such as Random House, have a notification system for their authors. At the Random House site, you select the author and enter your e-mail address. They will send you any new updates on the authors you select to your e-mail box.
