It’s always a joy to highlight a friend’s debut novel. Today, we’re honored to announce the release of Red and Black, the first book in a new urban fantasy series by Speculative Chic contributor Nancy O’Toole Meservier.

Speculative Chic has been kicking around for a year and a half, if you can believe it, and during that time, we’ve established quite a regular schedule. We started with one post per day save for weekends, and now the only day we don’t publish is Sunday; often, we have two posts per day. Which means the blog has reached…
