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'm very much into the world that Michael J Sullivan has created with his two Ryria and Legends series. The next book is kind of far out now.

Same with Sanderson. I think it's cool that he's tying multiple magic systems together into one cohesive universe.

The opposite answer to this question is Patrick Rothfuss. I hate hearing about him releasing anything new, because I know it isn't going to be what anyone wants. I also dread him actually, finally, really releasing the 3rd book that people have been waiting for... I will be in a real battle whether to actually read it. Will my spite plus hatred of half the 2nd book win out over my love for the first 1.5 books?
