Lina Chern, Tricks of Fortune
(Bantam)

“Charming first-person narration and some truly surprising plot turns make this a spirited good time.”
–Publishers Weekly

Katherine Wood, Sunburned
(Bantam)

“Wood has expertly mixed romance with mystery in a novel.”
–Library Journal

Dana Elmendorf, Grave Birds
(MIRA)

“With a bewitching Southern drawl that seeps into your bones, Elmendorf’s prose dances between shadow and light, weaving whispered magic and unspoken secrets into a tale that lingers long after you’ve finished the last page.”
–Evelyn Skye

Daco S. Auffenorde, The Medici Curse
(Scarlet)

“Atmospheric . . . Auffenorde’s crisp prose maintains the tension as she unfolds the story in short chapters. A lush, elegant thriller that successfully follows a familiar formula.”
–Kirkus

Barnaby Martin, The Quiet
(Macmillan)

“An intellectually compelling, emotional and timely read. Martin has taken a motif of dystopian writing and films – a single parent and child – and has reworked it within a fresh landscape. The Quiet is a feat of writing that foregrounds the value of kindness and communication in a world bent on segregation and misinformation.”
–The Bookseller
