new-to-me series

Has anyone else read Widdershins, the first book in the Whyborne and Griffin series by Jordan L. Hawk? Interesting historical/fantasy mystery with a touch of horror and one of the most charmingly geeky protagonists I've ever run across (I am an absolute pushover for well-written geeky heroes). He is gay as well as geeky [g], and there's a bit of explicitness on that front, just as a warning for those who need it, but I immediately went and bought the other two books in the series, and I Don't Do That very often, which ought to tell you how much I liked the book.

It kind of reminded me of a gay historical version of Nora Roberts's Sign of Seven books. If looked at from a really odd angle.

You might like KJ Charles' Magpie Lord. I've sent the Widdershins sample to my Kindle.

Sounds intriguing; I may give them a go.
