The Ocean in Winter By Elizabeth de Veer The lives of the three Emery sisters were changed forever when Alex, eleven at the time, found their mother drowned in the bathtub of their home. After their mother’s suicide, the girls’ father shut down emotionally, leaving Alex responsible for caring for Colleen and little Riley. Now the girls are grown and navigating diﬀerent directions. Alex, a nurse, has been traveling in India and grieving her struggle to have a child; Colleen is a devoted mother in denial that her marriage is ending; and Riley has been leading what her sisters imagine to be the dream life of a successful model in New York City. Decades may have passed, but the unresolved trauma of their mother’s death still looms over them, creating distance between the sisters. Then, on a March night, a storm rages near the coast of northeastern Massachusetts. Alex sits alone in an old farmhouse she inherited from a stranger. The lights are out because of the storm; then, an unexpected knock at the door. When Alex opens it, her beautiful younger sister stands before her. Riley has long been estranged from their family, prompting Colleen to hire the private investigator from whom they’d been awaiting news. Comforted by her unexpected presence, Alex holds back her nagging questions. After her mysterious visitation, Alex and Colleen are determined to reconcile with Riley and to face their painful past, but the closer they come to Qnding their missing sister, the more they fear they’ll only be left with Riley’s secrets. An unforgettable story about grief, love, and what it means to be haunted, The Ocean in Winter marks the debut of a remarkable new voice in Qction. ELIZABETH DE VEER has a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School and has been admitted to writing residencies at the Jentel Artist Residency, the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

Will Meadows is a seemingly average Qfteen-year-old Westie, who lives and works in Zone F, the run-down outermost ring of the Corporation. In the future state of the Corp, a person’s value comes down to productivity: the right actions win units, the wrong ones lose them. If Will is unlucky and goes into unit debt, there’s only one place to go: the Rator. But for Zone F Breeders, things are much worse—they’re born into debt and can only accrue units through reproduction. Every day in Zone F is a struggle, especially for Will who is Qghting against time for access to an illegal medical drug, Crystal 8. Under the cover of night, Will travels to the Gray Zone, where life is less regulated and drugs—and people—are exchanged for gold. There, Will meets Rob, a corrupt member of the Corporation running a Breeder smuggling operation. Will also meets Alex, another teen whom he quickly recognizes as a Breeder in disguise. Suddenly, Will has an illicit job and money, access to Crystal, and a real friend. As the pair grows closer, Alex shares her secret: she is part of the Response, an uprising to overthrow the Corporation. Caught up in the new friendship, Will and Alex become careless as the two covertly travel into Zone B for a day of adventure. Nothing goes as planned and Will’s greatest fear is realized. Will his true identity be revealed? HONNI VAN RIJSWIJK is a writer, lawyer, and academic. Breeder is her debut novel. Her Qction has appeared in Southerly and was short-listed for Zoetrope: All-Story. She is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at the University of Technology Sydney, where her research focuses on intersections between law, technology, and culture. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her partner and their daughter.

The Bill Maytubby and Hannah Bond Mysteries, Book 3

Tribal policeman Bill Maytubby and Deputy Hannah Bond team up to solve a murder and stop two more from happening. On Oklahoma’s Big Rock Prairie, a deaf boy finds a body in Pennington Creek. Johnston County Deputy Hannah Bond and Chickasaw Lighthorse Police Sergeant Bill Maytubby find a crime scene where nothing seems to fit—from the dead angler’s oversize waders to the kind of fish in his creel. They scour the creekside brush, then hit the road for Texas in a widening search for the killer. On the Big Rock, a towering bearded man is building a limestone replica of Roman Jerusalem for a Christian passion play. His cronies, who are in league with an interstate fraud ring, want the boy to disappear now. Flying an ancient rented Cessna, Maytubby takes fire from a suspect he is tailing, while Bond combs river trails for traces of the killer.

Ruth Devon starred for Georgetown Basketball back in college—until she injured her knee, married her coach, and found a new career calling games on the radio. Twenty years later, Ruth and her now-ex-husband, Lester, are two of the most famous faces in sports media. When Lester decides to retire from the announcers’ booth, Ruth goes after his job. If she gets it, she will be the first woman to call NBA games on national television.

“The Second Season is a terrific sports novel, yes, but it’s also just a terrific novel.” —Chris Bachelder, author of The Throwback Special

For now, Ruth is reporting from the sideline of the NBA finals, immersed in the highpressure spectacle of the post-season. But in a deserted locker room at halftime, Ruth makes a discovery that shatters her vision of her future. Instantly, she is torn between the two things she has always wanted most: the game and motherhood. With warmth and incisive observation, Adrian brings to life the obsessions, emotions, and drama of fandom. The Second Season asks why, how, and whom we watch, while offering a rich and complicated account of motherhood, marriage, and ambition. Adrian’s character study of Ruth Devon illuminates a beautiful basketball mind—and the struggle of a woman who claims authority in a male-dominated world.

“You don’t have to love basketball or care about motherhood to love this book, but this book will make you fall in love with both.”

FAITH A NOVEL

BY LIZA NASH TAYLOR In the summer of 1932, Americans are coming to realize that the financial crash of 1929 was only the beginning of hard times. In rural Keswick, Virginia, May Marshall struggles to keep her family farm and market afloat through the economic downturn. May finds herself juggling her marriage with a tempting opportunity to revamp the family business to adapt to changing times. In a cold-water West End Boston tenement, sixteen-year-old Dorrit Sykes questions the religious doctrine she was raised in after the recent loss of her mother. Reclusive and held back by anxiety attacks, Dorrit begins an odyssey that will both traumatize and strengthen her. Along the way she redefines her faith, learning both self-sufficiency and how to accept help. Dorrit and May’s lives intersect, and their fates will intertwine in ways that neither could have imagined or expected.

We Share the Same Sky A Memoir of Memory & Migration By Rachael Cerrotti A granddaughter’s decade-long journey to retrace her grandmother’s wartime escape and weave together the thin threads of family history.

“Stunning…Rachael Cerrotti has redeJned the art of bearing witness…Among myriad narratives in the postHolocaust landscape, this work is a dazzling beacon.”

—Elizabeth Rosner, author of Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory

In 2009, Rachael Cerrotti, a college student pursuing a career in photojournalism, asked her grandmother, Hana, if she could record her story. Rachael knew that her grandmother was a Holocaust survivor and the only one in her family alive at the end of the war. So, that’s what they did: Hana talked and Rachael wrote. Upon Hana’s passing in 2010, Rachael discovered an incredible archive of her life. There were preserved albums and hundreds of photographs dating back to the 1920s. There were letters waiting to be translated, journals, diaries, deportation and immigration papers as well as creative writings from various stages of Hana’s life. Rachael digitized and organized it all, then she began retracing her grandmother’s story, following her through Central Europe, Scandinavia, and across the United States. She tracked down the descendants of those who helped save her grandmother’s life during the war. Rachael went in pursuit of her grandmother’s memory to explore how the retelling of family stories becomes the history itself. We Share the Same Sky weaves together the stories of these two young women—Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and Rachael, whose insatiable curiosity to touch the past guides her into the lives of countless strangers, bringing her love and tragic loss. Throughout the course of her twenties, Hana’s history becomes a guidebook for Rachael in how to live a life empowered by grief.

WILLIAM KOTZWINKLE BY

It is a strange fact that when a man seeks to practice virtue, he will summon its opposite, as if the seven deadly sins were lying in wait to trip him up. A Tommy Martini Novel, Book 1

AVAILABLE 8/31/21

Meet Tommy Martini, the monk with an anger management problem. Since killing somebody with a single punch is not a needed talent in a monastery, he spends his time praying, meditating, and taking his anger management medicine. But his meditations are interrupted by a legacy from his uncle, a crooked priest. Arriving in a New Age Arizona town to claim his inheritance, Brother Tommy meets a charismatic, smokinghot cult leader who claims that women are being impregnated by alien beings while they sleep. Tommy’s own sleep is disturbed—by cartel hitmen, Mafia bill collectors, and women intrigued by his vow of chastity. He loses his anger management medicine in time to deal with the hitmen, but the women present an uphill battle. William Kotzwinkle’s quicksilver touch has produced an effervescent piece of entertainment filled with suspense, turns you won’t see coming, and the humor for which he is famous.

WILLIAM KOTZWINKLE has sold over ten million books. Two-time winner of the National Magazine Award for Fiction, he came to prominence with his cult classic The Fan Man. His novel Dr. Rat won the World Fantasy Award, and his children’s series Walter the Farting Dog sold two million copies. Movie credits include Book of Love and Nightmare on Elm Street 4.

Boyle, Stephen King, Joanna Lumley, Ian McEwan, Terry Pratchett, Ram Dass, Kurt Vonnegut, and Bruce Willis. He divides his time between rural Arizona and the coast of Maine.

THE FIRST BOOK IN THE CONVERGENCE SAGA BY CADWELL TURNBULL, THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE LESSON One October morning, Laina gets the news that her brother was shot and killed by Boston cops. But what looks like a case of police brutality soon reveals something much stranger. Monsters are real. And they want everyone to know it. As creatures from myth and legend come out of the shadows, seeking safety through visibility, their emergence sets off a chain of seemingly unrelated events. Members of a local werewolf pack are threatened into silence. A professor follows a missing friend’s trail of bread crumbs to a mysterious secret society. And a young boy with unique abilities seeks refuge in a promonster organization with secrets of its own. Meanwhile, more people start disappearing, suicides and hate crimes increase, and protests erupt globally, both for and against the monsters. At the center is a mystery no one thinks to ask: Why now? What has frightened the monsters out of the dark? The world will soon find out.

DUPLEX A M I CR OPOW E RS NOVE L

Ryan wakes up to find his contractor dad building walls to turn their big old house into a duplex. The family that moves into the other side includes Bizzy Horvat, the pretty girl he has a crush on at school. Bizzy claims her mother is a witch with the power to curse people with clumsiness or, in Bizzy’s case, astonishing beauty. When a bee gets caught in Bizzy’s hair, Ryan acts so quickly and radically to save her from getting stung that he attracts the attention of a group of micropotents — people with micropowers. He soon realizes that Bizzy and her mother also have such powers. It becomes Ryan’s job, with the help of the other micropotents, to protect the Horvats from a group of witch hunters from their native country, who are determined to kill Bizzy, her mother, and all the other “witches” — micropotents — who have gathered to protect them.

BY DAVID R. SLAYTON

They are my harvest, and I will reap them all. Returning to Guthrie, Oklahoma for the funeral of his mysterious and beloved Aunt Sue, Adam Binder once again finds himself in the path of deadly magic when a dark druid begins to prey on members of Adam’s family. It all seems linked to the death of Adam’s father many years ago—a man who may have somehow survived as a warlock. Watched by the police, separated from the man who may be the love of his life, compelled to seek the truth about his connection to the druid, Adam learns more about his family and its troubled history than he ever bargained for, and finally comes face to face with the warlock he has vowed to stop. Meanwhile, beyond the Veil of the mortal world, Argent the Queen of Swords and Vic the Reaper undertake a dangerous journey to a secret meeting of the Council of Races . . . where the sea elves are calling for the destruction of humanity.

THE WARRIOR POET The Faery Rehistory Series, Book 3 By Sharon Lynn Fisher

Portland book artist Neve Kelly is having weird visions—vivid daydreams of lovers on a battlefield that yank her out of reality. A couple weeks before Halloween, a confused, strangely dressed man appears in her living room. He drops a slip of paper that describes a dream much like her own before disappearing without a trace. With the peace between Ireland and its enemies restored, Will Yeats plans to spend the next decade quietly writing. But suddenly he’s time traveling again. He briefly visits the home of an intriguing stranger. The next time he’s drawn there, he finds her being sucked through a hole in her ceiling. Will saves Neve by carrying her back to 1888 Ireland, where he learns that not only is she from more than a century in the future, but from a parallel world where fairies and Tuatha De Danaan heroes are no more than myth. Their dreams of ancient lovers have brought them together … but why? Will’s friends—Irish Queen Isolde and her allies—are depending on Will and Neve to connect with the past in order to save Ireland. But can anything save them from the violent end that their dreams have foreshadowed?

TO BE WOLVES The Vesta Shadows Series, Book 2 By Debra May Macleod

While Caesar rules the world, the Vestal Virgins wield hidden power. In the stratified world of ancient Rome, there are citizens and slaves, soldiers and senators, priests and priestesses—and Caesar Augustus rules them all. Yet his authority holds only as long as the people believe the gods of Rome support him, particularly the beloved goddess of the home and hearth, Vesta. As chief Vestal Virgin, Pomponia continues to devote her life to protecting her order and the eternal flame of Vesta. She has risen to a position of esteem in Rome and is a valued member of Caesar’s inner circle. But now a contagion ravages the city and tension rises among Rome’s inhabitants. While she struggles to manage the Vestal order and maintain the favor of the goddess, Pomponia must now face a malevolent nobleman, Soren, whose machinations against her threaten not just her friendship with Caesar, but everything she loves. In To Be Wolves, Book Two in the Vesta Shadows series, Debra May Macleod takes us back to her richly crafted and meticulously researched vision of ancient Rome, artfully re-created with both historical and all-new characters, from conniving elites to celebrity slaves. An even bolder offering than its predecessor, this gripping sequel to Brides of Rome explores an even darker side of Rome.

DEBRA MAY MACLEOD is an author of historical

fiction focusing on the ancient Roman religion of Vesta and the Vestal Virgins. She is privileged to have been invited to participate in research excursions in the Forum Romanum, the Forum of Caesar and Imperial Fora, including places inaccessible to the general public, and informs her writing and work with this invaluable perspective. Debra has a bachelor of arts (English, classics) as well as a law degree. She lives in Canada with her husband and son, visiting Italy often for research (and sun).

SIMULTANEOUS RELEASE

The Archivist A Novel By Rex Pickett A romantic murder mystery by Sideways author Rex Pickett

“With deftly woven narrative threads and intrigue worthy of Hitchcock, The Archivist is immersive and rewarding. Pickett does for university archives what Raymond Chandler did for LA.”

—Janet Somerville, author of Yours for Probably Always

When archivist Nadia Fontaine is found dead of an apparent drowning, Emily Snow is hired by Regents University to Qnish the job she started— to organize and process the papers of Raymond West, a famous Pulitzer Prize–winning author who has been short-listed for the Nobel. Emily’s job comes with its inherent pressures. West’s wife, Elizabeth, is an heiress who’s about to donate $25 million to the Memorial Library— an eight-story architectural marvel that is the crown jewel of the university. The inaugural event in just a few months will be a gala for the Who’s Who of San Diego to celebrate the unveiling of the Raymond West Collection and the Qnancial gift that made it all possible. As Emily sets to work on the West papers, it begins to dawn on her that several items have gone missing from the collection. To trace their whereabouts, she gains unsupervised access to a Pandora’s Box of erotically and intellectually charged correspondence between Raymond West and the late Nadia Fontaine. Through their archived emails, Emily relives the tragic trajectory of their passionate love aﬀair. Did Nadia really drown accidentally, as the police report concluded, or could it have been suicide, or, even worse, murder? Emily unwittingly morphs into an adult Nancy Drew on a mission to right the historical record. Twisting slowly like a tourniquet, The Archivist turns into a suspenseful murder mystery with multiple and intersecting layers. Not just a whodunit, it is also a profound meditation on love, privacy, and the ethics of destroying or preserving materials of a highly personal nature.

JAMES CLAVELL’S INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING

ASIAN SAGA Beginning in feudal Japan and carrying through China, Hong Kong, Iran, and on into the late twentieth century, James Clavell’s Asian Saga is the iconic series that traces the coming together of East and West, and the power of free will to carve destinies. Woven throughout this epic chronicle is the story of the Struan family and the Asian trading empire they built from humble beginnings to become an international consortium. Struan descendants interlace their way through the novels, creating a rich and varied landscape through which the momentous events of history become personal. The master of historical fiction artfully twists love and war, trust and betrayal, and the shared human condition into a complex web of intermingled narratives that span across both time and continents. Meticulously researched and utterly absorbing, Clavell’s timeless Asian Saga novels have been embraced by a generation of readers and are now ready to be discovered by the next.

“An epic novel that cuts bloodred deep into the beating heart of the timeless quest for power. Clavell’s work is rightly positioned among the must-read historical fiction classics.” —DON WINSLOW, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel and The Force, on Shōgun

Shōgun After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, Blackthorne is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed.

Our Story In 1987, in a small garage in southern Oregon, Blackstone was born. Founded by Craig and Michelle Black, the early days consisted of a small number of family members and employees working out of the Blacks’ home, building the business one cassette tape at a time. With a fresh perspective on the reading experience, Craig and Michelle, along with their trusted team, found new and innovative methods to not only produce and distribute audiobooks but also pioneer creative ways to collaborate with publishers, booksellers, and the audiobook listening community. Today we have over 14,750 audiobooks in our catalog and publish over 4,500 audiobooks a year. On the foundation of this thirty-plus-year enterprise, we launched a print and e-book venture in 2015. In that first year, we published just a handful of titles. In 2021, we will publish over eighty titles, and our list of projects continues to grow. We’re thrilled to be working with bestselling and award-winning authors like Meg Gardiner, Steve Hamilton, Reed Farrel Coleman, Brian Freeman, Catherine Ryan Howard, P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Don Winslow, Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Adrian McKinty, Cadwell Turnbull, Rex Pickett, Cory Doctorow, Shelley Shepard Gray, Orson Scott Card, and Matthew Mather, as well as debuting new talented voices like M Shelly Conner, Honni van Rijswijk, Edward Farmer, Kimiko Guthrie, Rudy Ruiz, and Rachael Cerrotti. As we continue to build the audiobook business and grow the print venture, Blackstone has strengthened and expanded its sales, marketing, production, library, and editorial teams, as well as increased its presence at national and regional library conferences and independent bookseller trade shows. Our overall goal is to publish groundbreaking books, both fiction and nonfiction, by the most talented writers, and to forge long-term connections with readers, booksellers, librarians, and the overall publishing community. We are committed to bringing entertaining and thought-provoking stories to as many people as possible in the most creative and innovative ways imaginable.
