We are always looking for creative and innovative ways to bring books to market. As an integral part of our traditional house, our authors have great input from editorial to production to marketing.

Early 2025 Preview

We’re excited to share with you a sneak peek at our early 2025 list! Romantasy continues to take the world by storm, and A DAGGER OF LIGHTNING, a sci-fi-flavored fantasy following a woman abducted to a magical alien world, will delight readers clamoring to the next epic love story. Thrills are in, and nothing says “riveting beach read” like an action-packed romp through the streets of Paris in A PROMISE TO DIE FOR, or the time travel shenanigans of THE AFTER HOURS, where the past is literally out to get you. Epic fantasy continues to hit on the small screen, and THEY PLAYED THEIR ROLE, the nail-biting, heart-wrenching conclusion to the Dungeons and Dragons-inspired Glintchasers series, is sure to entertain diehard fantasy readers from all fandoms, while readers looking for a silver screen-inspired laugh will indulge in their inner Wes Anderson fan with the spy thriller spoof HOTEL MELIKOV. And those who like their murder mysteries with a dash of romance will happily tag along with a big city detective as she investigates a sleepy small town in WHAT HE LEFT BEHIND.

Time travel isn’t just for adult readers, as young adult novel RICOCHET steps into the shoes of teenage Anastasia Romanov and answers the question: What would happen if she survived her execution by accidentally transporting to a parallel world? The fantastical adventures continue with MAGIC AT THE GRAND DRAGONFLY THEATRE, an enchanting love letter to theater and the bond between two sisters, and QUEENDOM COME, the epic conclusion to the Frean Chronicles, where a young queen fights for the soul of her Queendom. And for the science fiction-inclined reader, THE PREMONITIONS CLUB explores the dangerous consequences of when a group of teenagers inherit psychic powers.

Anastasia Romanov escapes her family’s execution when a magical necklace transports her and her brother to an alternate 1918 Russia on the brink of its own revolution.

PLAYED THEIR ROLE 01/28/25

The Starbreakers are thrust into the fray for a final clash in the ruins of Relgen, the city they couldn’t save, knowing if they fail again, death will scour more than just one city.

When a retired diplomat travels to Paris to fulfill a dying friend’s wish, he finds himself embroiled into a baffling maze of danger and mystery that threatens to turn his promise into his epitaph.
