Five Words That Are Mine

Melissa Seron Richardson

If you had only five words to describe yourself, what would they be? That’s what a young skateboarder named Mia has to figure out in this inspiring picture book story about finding your own inner strength!

• Growth mindset journey: For buyers looking for growth mindset picture books, Five Words That Are Mine explores the emotional ups and downs of trying to learn something new, of realizing you’re more than your successes and failures.

• Inspiring words: The self-exploratory “five words” idea will resonate with readers, teachers, and parents. The lightly bilingual narrative incorporates Spanish words and phrases and skateboarding lingo, with definitions provided.

• Dad and daughter: Story portrays a loving, supportive daddaughter relationship.

Mia is hunting words for a school assignment today. She needs five words to describe who she is.

It’s easy at first. At the skateboard park, Mia finds words for how she can glide fast and soar high. Words like relámpago—lightning. These words feel good.

When Mia has trouble learning a cool new trick on her board, though, other words come to her—words that won’t leave her alone. Words like fail. Are these words really about her, too?

But Mia knows who she is... she’s someone who doesn’t give up. And if she keeps trying, she’ll find her five words, the ones that fit just right.

The Girl Who Figured it Out

The Inspiring True Story of Wheelchair Athlete Minda Dentler Becoming an Ironman World Champion

Minda Dentler

This uplifting picture book tells the amazing true story of Minda Dentler, the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship triathlon

• Inspirational true story: Minda’s story is one of incredible determination and persistence—themes that all kids (and adults) can learn from and relate to

• Disability representation: As we’ve seen with the success of All the Way to the Top, parents, teachers, and librarians are looking for more picture books featuring people with disabilities

• Author Minda Dentler is a great public speaker: Minda’s TEDtalk has been viewed more than 1.4 million times and she regularly tours the world for speaking events. She is incredibly excited to inspire and empower young readers with her story!

Minda Dentler made history when she became the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the world’s toughest triathlon, using only her arms to finish a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile marathon. But the journey there wasn’t easy. Minda was paralyzed as an infant in India after contracting polio, and was left in the care of an orphanage. After she was adopted by an American family and moved to Washington, she underwent surgeries to enable her to walk with leg braces and crutches.

As she grew, she faced many challenges, but remained undeterred by her disability. Her decision to begin training and competing in triathlons was no different. Despite the obstacles and failures she experienced along the way, Minda’s persistence and determination in the face of setbacks helped her to make sports history and inspire people around the world to rethink what’s possible!

MINDA DENTLER is the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship. She has been featured on CNN and NBC, and was nominated for an ESPN ESPY Award for the best female athlete with a disability. She has also written for Huffington Post and TIME, promoting the eradication of polio, and has served as a global immunization advocate for Rotary International and the UN Foundation. In addition to being a mom, an athlete, and an activist, she is a motivational speaker. She shares her story with Fortune 500 companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, along with nonprofits and universities, urging listeners to find their own personal Ironman.

Tons of Palabras: Fiestas

duopress labs

Introduce little ones to the English and Spanish words used by kids in their daily lives with Tons of Palabras (Tons of Words), a series of bilingual books made for Hispanics by Hispanics

• Featuring words used by real kids in their daily lives: Most bilingual English-Spanish books focus on words seldom used in real Spanish-speaking households. Tons of Palabras addresses this issue by featuring words used every day by millions of households.

• Books for an increasing Spanish-speaking world: According to the 2020 Census, the multiracial population has increased by 276% in the U.S. since 2010, and nearly one in four Americans today identifies as either Hispanic or Asian. These families want books that reflect their culture, language, and identity.

Tons of Palabras: Fiestas is the third title in the series, presenting kids with traditions and special occasions that are celebrated in Hispanic and non-Hispanic households. The book covers holidays like Christmas, Day of the Dead, and Holy Week, discussing the customs around these special times as well as the delicious foods that accompany them! Did you know that on New Year’s, it’s a tradition in some Latin American countries to eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight? Or that during Day of the Dead, funny verses are read in honor of loved ones who are no longer with us? Birthdays are also an exciting time, with piñatas, cake, and games. Tons of Palabras: Fiestas is full of fun, colorful, and interesting Latin American celebrations!

Dinosaurs in Space

Todd Sturgell

Award-winning author Todd Sturgell returns with another irreverent, hilarious, and informative picture book that explains just how dinosaurs might have ended up in space!

• Award-winning author-illustrator Todd Sturgell’s first book Except Antarctica received starred reviews and award nominations proving his meta concept and comical dialogue between the narrator and characters make his books something kids will come back to over and over again

• Delightful mash-up of two kid-favorite topics: dinosaurs and space!

Dinosaur fossils are found all over the earth, and now they’re found in space!

When the narrator explains about the big boom that caused dinosaur extinction, Dakota the dinosaur and his ragtag group of friends don’t want to hear it! Taking over the story—much to the narrator’s dismay—these dizzy dinos share their spacetastic theories about moon-sauruses, Martian dinosaurs, and…zombie-sauruses?

This silly science lesson gone wrong is an amusing lesson based on real scientific theories. If Nasa sticks to schedule the manned mission to circle the moon will be November 2024, and then we’ll really know if Dinosaurs are in Space!

You can visit her at bethanybaptiste.com or @storysorcery on Twitter.

The Poisons We Drink is a potent YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death

Then an enemy’s iron bullet kills her mother, Venus’s life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother’s killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.’s most influential politicians. As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it’s hard to tell who to trust… Herself included.

The Summer She Went Missing

Chelsea Ichaso

INTERNATIONAL EDITION: MARCH 24

9781464222146

The case was cold…until a clue leads to dark secrets about their quiet resort town. A suspenseful new thriller from the author of Little Creeping Things!

• Momentum to scream about: Chelsea Ichaso’s debut Little Creeping Things was called “a riveting whodunnit…a psychological thriller worthy of mystery aficionados” by School Library Journal, and her most recent title, They’re Watching You was a Junior Library Guild selection

• Thriller to kill for: Teens can’t get enough YA thrillers, and they will inhale The Summer She Went Missing as it explores the sinister undercurrents of a summer resort town and the dark things that privilege hides

Every year, Paige and her family have spent the summer at the Covingtons’ vacation house on Shadow River. After all, Audrey Covington is her best friend. Or rather, she was. Last summer, everything changed after Audrey went missing. At the time, the Shadow River locals wondered about a connection to Madison Blake, another girl who’d disappeared, except the two girls came from completely different worlds. One summer later, Audrey’s case has gone cold. This year, Paige plans to spend her time at the Covington house with Audrey’s older brother Nate, who she’s grown closer to in the aftermath.

But then, Paige discovers something hidden in Audrey’s old room: a burner phone, containing a text chain from a secret guy. It’s clear the two had a close relationship before Audrey went missing, but it’s Audrey’s final text that makes Paige’s blood curdle: “What are we going to do about Madison?”

Now Paige enlists Nate’s help investigating what the cops never could. But tracking down two missing girls who may already be beyond saving means entering a world far darker than Paige could’ve imagined. And if she isn’t careful, she could become missing girl number three.

But sometime around midnight, she vanished.

Now the four friends who came back are under suspicion—and they each have a very different story to tell about what happened in the woods.

The clock is ticking. What are they hiding? Who is lying? Dark truths must come to light if their friend is to be found. Told entirely through first-person police interviews, this riveting YA mystery asks: what really happened that night?

Katie and Aster’s plan was to hike 49 miles in the remote Utah desert. But when they encounter a killer on the trail, there’s no such thing as a safe distance

• Bestselling author: Natalie D. Richards is one of the highest-performing YA thriller authors, whose titles have sold over 400,000 copies retail to date and include two New York Times bestsellers

• Page-turning survival thriller: Tense, twisty story in an isolated desert setting where people aren’t who they seem, the elements are unpredictable, and one wrong step—literally—can have fatal consequences

Cousins Katie and Aster decide to put a difficult year behind them by taking a forty-nine mile backpacking trek through the Utah desert—alone, no phones except for the GPS satellite phone for emergencies. Though they’re experienced hikers, the trail proves much more treacherous than expected, with map problems, injuries, and a storm that leaves them short on supplies. So they’re relieved to run into Riley, a friendly young woman who shares food with them, though the guy she’s with, Finn, is uncomfortably silent—brooding, even—and clearly the couple is fighting about something. In the middle of the night, Riley comes to the girls’ tent, sobbing, saying, “Finn did something.” Katie offers Riley their GPS satellite phone to call for help, and she flees with it. In the morning, there’s no sign of Riley or Finn, their campsite is abandoned, and the GPS phone is found—deliberately smashed.

The nearest place to seek help is a two-day walk away, and if Aster and Katie lose the couple’s trail, they’re certain no one will ever see Riley alive again. Their only choice is to track Finn through the deadly desert—but he’s already following them.

But the Saint family’s thriving reaper-hunting enterprise holds reign over the city, more powerful than even the organized criminals who run the nightclubs. Eighteen year-old Elise Saint, home after five years in Paris, is the reluctant heir to the empire. Only one thing weighs heavier on Elise’s mind than her family obligations: the knowledge that the Harlem reapers want her dead.

Layla Quinn is a young reaper haunted by her past. Though reapers have existed in America for three centuries, created by New World atrocities and cruel experiments, Layla became one just five years ago. The night she was turned, she lost her parents, the protection of the Saints, and her humanity, and she’ll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her.

But some reapers are inexplicably turning part human again, leaving a wake of mysterious and brutal killings. When Layla is framed for one of these attacks, the Saint patriarch offers her a deal she can’t refuse: to work with Elise to investigate how these murders might be linked to shocking rumors of a reaper cure. Once close friends, now bitter enemies, Elise and Layla explore the city’s underworld, confronting their intense feelings for one another, and uncovering the sinister truths about a growing threat to reapers and humans alike.

Zara is one of the fiercest women in her wolf pack, so it should make sense that the Wolf King would summon her to compete in the deadly Queen Trials. Except…Zara knew the King when he was just Prince Axil. When he was asking her to dance at summer camp, when he was vowing one day they’d marry, and when his older brother humiliated her and Axil left her and every promise he ever made her.

Now, Zara seeks revenge. She agrees to participate in the Queen Trials, knowing that the only two outcomes are marrying King Axil and spending the rest of her life making him regret ever leaving her, or death. But when she arrives, King Axil is different than she expected, and he begs her to believe it was never his choice to abandon her.

The only guy in the world who could kiss me was about to be taken out by some Nightling with a vendetta against his family.

Fallon Bane thought that being cursed to feel pain every time she was touched was the worst thing that would ever happen to her.

She was wrong.

The worst thing was finding and falling for Ariyon—the only person in the realm who can touch her—only to accidentally trap him in the land of souls and swap powers with him.

Now she must act as Maven healer to Queen Solana while trying to figure out how to sneak into the Realm of Eternity to save Ariyon. She drove me crazy, in both good and bad ways, and all I wanted to do was finally kiss her, hold her, feel her body relax into mine like it’d found its missing other half.

Aryion Madden had enough to deal with: heir to the throne, Maven healing powers that meant he would die young, and orphaned by Marissa Bane. Then, he met Marissa’s daughter and fell in love, upending everything he thought he knew.

Now, he has to fight for his life—and maybe his afterlife—against the undead using Fallon’s dark magic. And if that’s not enough to worry about, all the while, the prophesied Nightling war is approaching.

Everything was falling in place, and I should have been excited because it meant I was one step closer to finding the weapon that would help me defeat the Nightlings. But it also meant my death loomed over me.

Fallon Bane has never been a normal girl. From the moment she was born into the House of Ash and Shadow to being cursed to feel pain whenever she was touched to falling in love with a royal heir of the House of Light and Ether, nothing has seemed to go to plan. So when she runs away after finding out she’s starting to give in to her dark magic, she shouldn’t be surprised that it goes wrong.

But when it does, and her friends save her from her Nightling mother, she returns to the Gilded City not just cursed but also the chosen one of a prophecy—she will save the fae from the Nightling War. And she will give her life to do so. Fallon wants to be the hero everyone believes she can be, but she wants to live even more.

“You’ll always be mine.”

The latest taunt from my stalker reminded me I was nothing more than a possession to my father, to the Reapers, to Archer D’Ath. Even to Kody and Steele. Princess Danvers—the prize. His wife. Archer D’Ath’s wife. I hate them. They lied to me. Over and over again. I knew they were lying, too, and I hate myself for letting it get this far. For falling for them despite what they did to me. For believing in the relationships I wanted so desperately to be real. Fake. It’s all fake. And none of them will let me go. Archer and his boys think they control me. My stalker wants to possess me. I’m not an idiot—I know my newest allies are using me, too.

That’s fine. I’ll use all of them. I’ll use them to take back what’s mine. My life. My freedom. My name. No one owns Madison Kate Danvers.

But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. We changed, we grew, we evolved and came out stronger than ever. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves. I’ll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving. To keep the people depending on me safe.

In the small town of Blue Moon Bend, where everybody is a matchmaker, Carter Pierce just wants to be left alone to tend the family farm. After returning from Afghanistan with scars, his only goal is recovery. He doesn’t need any distractions, and definitely not a journalist with tons of good questions and super sharp observational powers.

Summer Lentz is a journalist from the city sent to interview Carter and his family. She’s out of place in the small town, with her designer wardrobe and workaholic lifestyle. She asks too many questions and doesn’t take no for an answer, threatening to destroy the peace and balance that Carter has been working towards. She thwarts every attempt Carter makes to retreat back inside himself, somehow bringing him closer to being whole again.

Summer has secrets of her own, but she never planned to open up to anyone - let alone the scowling, secretive farm owner whose story she’s after. But as she gets drawn into the community, she starts to realize that she can’t stay closed off forever. And what’s more, she doesn’t want to.

Even if it lands right in his backyard, and has miles of red hair. Gianna Decker has her hands full—no, overflowing—with problems. With two kids, a useless ex, and a brand new yoga studio, the last thing on her mind is finding a man who’ll cause her more problems. Dating her broody landlord? Yeah, that would be a problem. Dating the sexy mayor of the town she just moved to? Definitely a problem. Dating the “6kite” son of her father’s new lady friend? It seems like Beckett is a bad idea just waiting to happen. But he’s a bad idea she can’t seem to resist.

As Beckett and Gianna find themselves thrown together again and again, they can’t help but fall into the temptation of sizzling stolen kisses, of a desire so hot it brands. And soon they’re much, much closer than they ever wanted. Tempers flair when their families complicate things and the interfering citizens of Blue Moon Bend step in with their special brand of chaos.

Can Beckett and Gianna manage to disentangle themselves before it’s too late? Or is the temptation too much for either of them to deny?

He sees her skill at what she does, but he knows she’s hiding something, and he intends to find out what.

Blake has gone to great extremes to guard her secrets. She’s known who Ramses is for years, and knows exactly how dangerous he can be. But when Ramses offers her a game that he created just for her, she can’t resist playing. After all, he has what she wants, too. She sets boundaries, adds rules to the game…but soon finds herself breaking her own in the process.

As fantasy invades reality, their new arrangement threatens to consume them. Blake and Ramses both cross lines they swore they never would, questioning everything they thought they wanted—and everything their future could be, if they don’t destroy each other first.

Remi Hayes is beginning to think she’s cursed—her fiancé cheated on her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted.

Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and Grimstone’s most eligible bachelor—if you can ignore the fact that everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.

Remi doesn’t want to believe it, especially after Dane sews up a gash in her thigh and steals a kiss in payment—a kiss that makes it hard to walk for reasons that have nothing to do with an injured leg.

But as the renovation takes a strange and violent turn, Remi must decide if Dane is the one haunting her nights, or if he’s trying to protect her from something much worse.

Her gamble pays off when she’s swept off her feet by Benjamin Wittacker, handsome single father and (gasp!) actual published author. Elena’s new fiancé seems almost too good to be true. Her life is turning into a fairytale, especially once Ben starts building her a castle in the woods. But when Elena arrives in Grimstone, her fairytale turns darker. The castle in the woods is a macabre labyrinth of hidden chambers, and Ben is no Prince Charming. In fact, he might just be a monster.

Isolated far from home, Elena’s only ally is Atlas Covett, the owner of the Monarch hotel. Massive and stern, even Atlas’ employees are terrified of him. He becomes Elena’s unexpected protector, offering solace and sanctuary from the darkness that threatens to consume her. As Elena’s bond with Atlas deepens, her jealous fiancé exerts his control in increasingly twisted ways. Elena must find a way out before the castle he’s building becomes a prison she’ll never escape.

The deities you call aren’t always the ones who answer.

Marlow needs to believe she’s crazy. The alternative would mean embracing the gift—or curse—shared by her mother and grandmother: she can see angels and demons, including a dark and haunting entity who’s been with Marlow her entire life. At least, she believes that’s all he is until a fae from the Nordic pantheon strolls into her life and informs her that she’s been sharing a bed with the Prince of Hell.

No one told witch Selene Bowers having a soul mate would be so difficult. Nor did they warn her that he might be a vengeful, ancient sorcerer who would frame her for murder, force her to remember a past life he swears she lived, and then coerce her into an unbreakable marriage pact. But that’s exactly what happens the night of the Samhain Ball, when Selene finds herself in a jail cell.

After waking from enchanted sleep, Memnon swore to find out why Selene betrayed him long ago. But when his soul mate’s memories return, the truth reveals something else entirely. Horrified by what he’s done and desperate to make amends, Memnon offers Selene the unthinkable: a magic bond that will give her full control over his will. And Selene is desperate enough to accept it.

But other enemies still haunt Henbane Coven, Selene’s magical academy, and they’ve taken a keen interest in her. If she wants to stop them, she’ll need Memnon’s help.

But partnering with the sorcerer is a tricky business, especially when he’s dead set on winning her heart. And that can’t happen…because the bond controlling him will break the moment she falls in love with him.

Isolde Laurence is an uncommon bride. She’s been raised to do as her father told her, put elegance and duty above all else—but unbeknownst to him, her loyalty has shifted. Now she’s in service to the Church, one of the elite spies who work for her uncle, a cardinal. Her latest assignment from the Church? Marry Mark Trevena, the owner of a notorious club in DC where the rich and powerful come to play, and seduce him.

But what was supposed to be a simple lie has become far more complicated: Isolde has fallen for Mark’s handsome and emotionally wounded bodyguard, Tristan. Even worse— she’s falling for her future husband himself, a mistake she made once before and has bitterly regretted ever since.

And there’s something far darker at play than the machinations of Isolde’s uncle or even the twisted longings of her own heart. Because Isolde’s new husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he’ll stop at nothing to possess Isolde and Tristan both might tear all three of them to pieces. If the heartbreak doesn’t do the job first…

But it’s nothing that a pair of fourth row hockey seats can’t fix. Hailey can’t resist the offer. Matt can’t resist Hailey. Good thing he doesn’t have to. Fire up the kiss cam!

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn’t good enough for her parents, and she definitely isn’t good enough for the uncle who took her in after they died. But she’s smart. Cunning. Beautiful. And she doesn’t have time for silly things like a moral compass, anyway. Her uncle, the most powerful gangster in the south, utilizes her as he sees fit, and she falls in line dutifully, aching to be accepted as part of the family. When her cousin comes home to the coastal town of Atlantic Cove, Venesa is forced to interact with the man who comes with her, and soon realizes he’s the only one who has ever seen her for her.

There’s just one problem. She can never have him.

Enzo “Loverboy” Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld at night. Underboss to the most notorious syndicate the Mafia has seen in decades, his dangerous reputation precedes him. He’s untouchable, and answers to no one except his father, the strongest Don in the Northeast. When Enzo is tasked with getting married, he doesn’t think twice.

Until he meets his fiancee’s younger cousin.

Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But a mob wife isn’t supposed to actually be one of the bad guys, and Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want. When plans start to unravel and temptation sings its siren’s song, they’ll both have to choose what’s more important; duty to their families, or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.

Ana Huang

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ana Huang comes a steamy sports romance series following the players of Holchester United. British soccer star Asher Donovan is known for his recklessness, but nothing is as risky as falling for the sister of his greatest rival.

British soccer star Asher Donovan is one of the most famous athletes in the world—and one of the most reckless. As notorious for his love of fast cars and women as he is for his skills on the pitch, his personal life finally puts his professional one at risk after a high-profile incident. But nothing he’s done in the past is as risky as falling for Scarlett Dubois, the sister of his greatest rival—and his new teammate. Scarlett is a former ballerina whose career was tragically cut short by an accident that left her with chronic pain. Though she’s adapted to her new life as a ballet teacher instead of dancer, she’s less than thrilled to be training a bunch of arrogant soccer players. When she’s tasked with improving their physical performance ahead of an important championship game, she vows to keep the lessons strictly professional - no matter how much a certain player (and family enemy) tempts her.

ANA HUANG is a USA Today bestselling author of steamy New Adult and contemporary romance. Her stories range from lighthearted to dark, but they all have HEAs with plenty of banter and swoon sprinkled in.

The One You Can’t Forget

The world knows Rebecca Lindt as a survivor. Austin, TX knows her as a successful divorce attorney. But most days, she just feels like an imposter. Pretending she’s okay. Pretending she’s moved on. Pretending she doesn’t have a secret that eats her up inside. But nothing can change the past, so she spends her days working long hours and ignoring her nonexistent love life. As long as she doesn’t slow down, she doesn’t have to remember what happened years ago. Wes Garrett is trying to get back on his feet after losing his dream restaurant, his money, and half his damn mind in a vicious divorce where he was wrongly accused. He’s sober now, working as a culinary arts teacher at an alternative school, trying to save up money to buy a food truck and own his own place again. But when he intervenes in a mugging late one night and finds he’s saved Rebecca Lindt, the divorce attorney who helped his ex-wife, his simple life gets a lot more complicated.

Rebecca offers to invest in his food truck as a charity project for the school, and he offers her a way to make amends by having her help with his students. But as they work together, there’s more heating up than the kitchen. Neither intends for this to be anything more than a fling, but when the project funding is threatened and Rebecca’s secret is at risk, both discover they could lose more than they thought, including what they never realized they needed: each other.

She’s just about at the end of her rope when she stumbles across a rare edition of a book from the 1960s at the local flea market. Deciding it’s a sign of her luck turning, she takes it home with her—only to be shocked when her cranky hermit of a neighbor swoops in and offers to buy it for an exorbitant price. Intrigued, Chloe takes a closer look at the book only to find notes scribbled in the margins between two young lovers back when the book was new…one of whom is almost definitely Jasper Holmes, the curmudgeon next door.

And when she begins following the clues left behind, she discovers this isn’t the only old book in town filled with their romantic marginalia. This kickstarts a literary scavenger hunt that Chloe is determined to see through to the end. What happened to the two tragic lovers who corresponded in the margins of so many different library books? And what does it have to do with the old, sad man next door—who only now has begun to open his home to Chloe and her siblings? In a romantic tale that spans the decades, Chloe discovers that there’s much more to her neighbor than meets the eye. And in allowing herself to accept the unexpected friendship he offers, she learns that some love stories begin in the unlikeliest of places.

For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)

Soon, Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot-nemesis works there, too…and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.

Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: he’s the heir to the CEO and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place—for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard—including his father—intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she’s ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she’s willing to do to truly make a difference.

Ray is a chaotic millennial writer who’s been oversharing his every thought on the internet since he was a teenager; Kip is a pragmatic Gen X medical doctor who values stability and privacy in his personal life above all else. But somehow it works. The pair has been madly in love ever since they were brought together six years ago in a meet-cute straight out of a romantic comedy.

This summer, Ray convinces Kip to join him for an early honeymoon at a famous luxe resort in Ray’s coastal New England hometown, eschewing the tradition of bachelor parties and hoping to recharge before their end-of-August wedding. But when a surprising encounter with another couple at the resort leads to a series of mishaps and miscommunications, Ray and Kip are forced to look at their many differences in a stark new light—thereby turning the trip into less of a vacation and more of a test: will they be able to work through their issues in time for the big day?

The problem is, while Laurie will surrender his body, he won’t surrender his heart. Because Toby is too young, too intense, too easy to hurt.

Daisy Finnegan is looking forward to a summer of fun on Glassy Mountain, North Carolina. She doesn’t want to think about college, or the newly awakened power of her own voice, which has a way of making people do increasingly frightening things. But when her cousin goes missing at an exclusive house party, Daisy confronts the mysterious host… only to discover the wealthy recluse is Jay Gatsby, her childhood sweetheart. Shocked at the change in the boy she once knew so well, Daisy investigates the source of Gatsby’s new riches and becomes entangled in a web of dizzying wealth and lies and obsession darker than she ever could have dreamed—culminating in an act of violence that shatters the summer haze and threatens to drown them all.

But it isn’t until Gatsby is shot through the heart—and survives—that Daisy discovers the full truth. Gatsby clawed his way up in the world by selling the secret of immortality to the highest bidder, using his lavish parties as the ultimate cover. But Gatsby’s intricately-laid plans are in danger…and so, by extension, is he. With her friends’ lives at stake, her own untested power still volatile, and an unimaginable threat closing in, Daisy will have to face an impossible choice: side with the man who claimed her heart…or with the monsters who would see him lost to her forever.

REBECCA. KENNEY writes contemporary fantasy, paranormal romance, and spicy fantasy romance. She lives in upstate South Carolina with her handsome, blue-eyed husband and two smart, energetic kids.

• Bestselling author: Katee Robert is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with over a million copies sold

• Phenomenal hook: Greek myths are fan favorites; this super-sexy, modern retelling will appeal to fans of both the webcomic Lore Olympus and Greek lore

Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She’s betrayed her father—and his benefactor—and now she’s left to rely on the questionable mercy of Olympus to keep her safe. As with everything in this city, mercy comes with a price. For Ariadne, that means a marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but to agree, even if there’s only one man she’s ever wanted—a man she’s feared just as much as she desires.

The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos’s plans. He was willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word—at the end of this, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a reward. Nowhere in that deal was her walking down the aisle to a different man. She’s meant for him, and he means to have her.

Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur. Her relationship with her new fiancé might be more friendship than burning passion, but she knows all too well how much fiery passion can hurt. She and the Minotaur are no good for each other. She can never forgive him for what he’s done, and he can never change. But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn…

On the night Jafar took everything from her father, he offered Jasmine a devil’s bargain: walk with her freedom and nothing else, or attempt to best him and regain her inheritance. In her arrogance, she played right into his hands, foolishly assuming she had a chance to come out on top.

She was wrong. Now Jafar owns her, body and soul.

Every day is a battle, but when night comes, these two sworn enemies play out every fantasy she’s never allowed herself to admit to having. She can’t hide them from Jafar, though. He knows her—and the dark desires they share—far too well. He sees to her every need, no matter how carnal or extravagant. It’s almost enough for her to be happy...

But a gilded cage is still a prison, and before her time is through, Jasmine will do anything to obtain her freedom—even betray the man she’s falling for.

Arlene Morgan has always dreamed of being a movie director, like so many women in the silent era before her. But when Evets Studios finally gives her a shot, a rare thing in 1930s Hollywood, she’s dismayed to discover that her leading man is none other than Don Lamont. Born Don Lazzarini, Don was Arlene’s next-door-neighbor growing up, two best friends with two big dreams. He’s the only man she’s ever loved…except he abandoned her to pursue his dance career in New York, and she hasn’t seen or heard from his since.

But Don, despite his Broadway success, has been caught under the thumb of his gangster manager Frankie Martino for the last eight years, unable to come home. When he gets offered a role in a Hollywood picture, he leaps at the chance to free himself once and for all. But clashing with his director, the girl he once knew as Lena, leaves him scrambling to find his footing. As the two unpack old wounds and struggle to work together, Don starts to realize Lena might have been his dream girl all along. But she doesn’t know about Frankie, and getting her involved in his contract would put her in danger, too. It’s going to take quite the footwork to prove his feelings and help make Arlene’s picture a success before Frankie takes drastic measures to keep his most valuable leading man.

When her estranged mother leaves town after supposedly stealing a priceless necklace, Felicity chases her just like she would any other skip…but she didn’t barter on having increasingly infuriating (and infuriatingly hot) PI Bennett Green on her tail.

To distract the annoyingly persistent man—and give her sister a chance to track down their mother instead—Felicity heads west into the remote Rocky Mountains. The beauty of the Rockies is as overwhelming as it is moving, but there’s danger here too, and it isn’t long before Felicity’s deliberate distraction turns into a mystery worth solving.

She feels powerless…until one night she goes from snarling at her obnoxiously attractive coworker (musician-slash-bartender Nick Stokes) to wanting to kill him. Literally.

Turns out Nick has become LA’s latest vampire and she is his chosen Slayer…a decidedly unwelcome job that comes with an overnight super-bodybuilder-buff physique, the ability to conjure a sword made of fire, and a new gang of supernatural enemies out for her blood. Nick swears he’ll help her. Carrie swears she’ll figure out how to help herself.

But in a Hollywood-bright world of typecasting and body obsession, what’s a new Slayer to do?

Caroline Wilton is “dying” to get off Starfall Point, but if she leaves the island, there’s a good chance she’ll literally die. For centuries, any Wilton who ventured off the island immediately perished in some freak accident. Caroline, like every Wilton before her, has accepted this curse and made peace with staying put and running the Wilted Rose Tavern. But thanks to her newfound magic and favorite coven of witches, Starfall Point has gotten a lot more exciting. And then there’s Ben…

When gorgeous physician Ben Hoult—Caroline’s high school sweetheart who left without so much of a goodbye—returns to the island to take over the medical clinic with two frustratingly likable teenagers in tow, Caroline feels the calm waters of her life begin to churn. Practical, sensible Ben didn’t believe in her family curse then, and Caroline has no interest in trying to convince him now. Besides, Caroline has her hands full managing all of the ghosts she now has the special power to see—especially the angry woman in eighteenth-century garb occupying her tavern with a menacing glare.

As Caroline and her witches grow their magic, they soon discover the angry family ghost as one of the island’s most sinister legends—information that could be the key to breaking the Wilton curse and finding lasting true love with Ben

She carefully guards the bridges between worlds and has never once been tempted to stray.

Until she catches the eye of a pair-bonded kitsune and kumiho.

Japanese and Korean fox spirits Yamamoto Kuro and Joseph Choe have been hoping to cross paths with Marie since their first chance meeting at an artifact retrieval gone decidedly wrong. They may work for Marie’s enemy, but they don’t see any reason why they can’t mingle a little work and play…especially when a (literal) dead man waltzes into their impromptu reunion, raising intriguing questions about a deeper magic that may be afoot. Temporarily teaming up, the trio investigate the unusual unrest…but as loyalties begin to shift and lines blur, Kuro, Joe, and Marie may find themselves at the precipice of something none of them are prepared to face…or deny.

Unflappable and tireless, her composure masks a seething sorrow. Since her mother abandoned the family, Farrin has been their rock—managing her father’s temper, running the estate, keeping tight control over her dangerous musical power, and ignoring her own need for rest, distraction, and most of all, love.

In Ryder Bask, Farrin’s stubborn strength has met its match. The man infuriates her. He’s coarse, arrogant, annoyingly handsome. He’s as tired of their feuding parents as she is, and he brims with some secret anger that mirrors Farrin’s frustrated rage.

In an effort to hide their daughter’s secret shame, her parents send her away to a maternity home—a common solution for “wayward” girls during that time period. Lorraine soon realizes that instead of being a safe haven, the home forces unwed mothers to relinquish parental rights and place their babies for adoption. Lorraine must decide if she has the agency and power to fight to keep her baby or if she must submit to the rules of the society she once admired.

As phantom fires begin to light up the night and troubling local folklore is revealed to be all too true, the sisters—confronted with the ghosts of their pasts—come to the stark realization that in the kudzu-choked South, nothing is ever as it seems.

The Last Twelve Miles

Erika Robuck

$16.99 U.S. TP 352 Pages

Set in the Prohibition Rum Wars, two women masterminds try to outwit each other in a compelling game of ambition, envy and high stakes, from bestselling author Erika Robuck.

• Fresh setting: Prohibition and the Rum Wars stand out from the heavily published WWII category while maintaining a high-tension conflict.

• Real history: Elizebeth Smith Friedman’s true contributions to cryptanalysis and codebreaking add unusual insight and texture about the women of the rum era.

In the Prohibition Rum Wars, the Coast Guard is losing. Eleven million gallons of illegal liquor a year have created a booming smuggling economy. But the government has a new, secret weapon—a 5’2 mastermind in heels, wife, and mother: Mrs. Elizebeth Smith Friedman—one of the husband-and-wife pair who invented cryptanalysis itself.

On the other side of the law, when Marie Waite—wife of a rumrunner and mother of two little ones—notices discrepancies in cargo, she insists on accompanying her husband on a run to Nassau. There, not only does Marie witness her husband’s shortcomings, but she becomes enthralled by female smuggler, “The Bahama Queen,” who is departing from the business. Marie knows an opportunity when she sees it, and she wants success and respect so badly she can taste it. So, despite the Bahama Queen’s warnings about the government’s “new man” who seems to know where smugglers are before they do, Marie plans to rise as rumrunner royalty just long enough to get her family in the black.

But, the more sophisticated her operation grows, the more she comes on the radar of the mastermind nabbing criminals by the daily dozen. Once Marie knows who she’s up against, she’s more determined than ever to triumph. Only one mother can rule Gulf Coast, and both Elizebeth and Marie will go to any lengths to win the crown for themselves.

Years later, as Mae looks at her wedding seating chart, mentally calculating all the white faces that will be staring back at her as she prepares to marry her perfect, saltine-cracker of a fiancé, not knowing the Townsends hits her like a blow.

So when news arrives that her grandmother has died, she decides it’s time to finally explore her Black roots. With three weeks left until her wedding, Mae heads down South.

The Secret War of Julia Child

Diana R. Chambers

Everything you thought you knew about Julia Child was wrong…

• A new angle on historical fiction: A completely fresh twist on 1940s historical fiction, a time period overstuffed with European-set fiction, taking the reader to the forgotten front of WWII in Asia and dealing with themes of empire and colonialism

• A lyrical story of a woman known around the world: Julia Child is a world phenomenon and an evergreen fascination, and though her name is instantly recognizable, her life outside the kitchen has never been explored in such a gripping and creative fashion.

• Spy fiction at its finest: Uncovered histories of women are always a win in the women’s fiction space, and this fascinating peek into the workings of the OSS is perfect for readers of clandestine historical fiction who enjoy behind-the-scenes tales

Before she was Julia Child, the enigmatic chef that stole hearts, she was Julia McWilliams. Thirty years old and directionless, Julia took a job working for America’s first espionage agency, years before cooking or Paris entered the picture. The Secret War of Julia Child traces Julia’s transformation from ambitious but unfocused Pasadena socialite to Washington, DC file clerk, to head of General “Wild Bill” Donovan’s secret File Registry as part of the Office of Strategic Services.

The wartime journey takes her to the Far East, to Asia’s remote frontlines of Ceylon and India, where she finds purpose, adventure, self-knowledge – and love with mapmaker Paul Child. Not only do we see Julia’s origin story, but we see the “Forgotten War” of WWII in Asia, where themes of empire and colonialism enrich the story, and deepen Julia’s perceptions of international culture.

The spotlight has rarely shone on this fascinating period of time in the life of (“I’m not a spy”) Julia Child, and this lyrical story allows us to explore the unlikely world of a woman in World War II spy station who has no idea of the impact she’ll eventually impart.

DANA R. CHAMBERS studied Asian Art History at university, and after, worked at a Paris translation agency. She later began an importing business in South Asia. She is an experienced scriptwriter and has lived all over the world. She is based in Northern California.

Remember You Will Die

Eden Robins

• Well-connected author: Eden has extensive connections in the writing community, having attended Clarion West, and is an established presence in the SFF world. Author has also been an Illinois Arts Council recipient three times and is the host of a wellknown Chicago storytelling live show called Tuesday Funk

• Fresh format: The story is told almost entirely through obituaries, offering a new and engaging format in speculative fiction.

Poppy Fletcher is just another teenage statistic. Death by suicide. Drowning. Her mother left to wander through a maze of grief. But this is no ordinary mother. She is Peregrine, an AI walking the earth in a (nearly) human body, misunderstood, loathed, feared. A fugitive whose home is nowhere.

And this is no ordinary story of grief.

Because the feeling is so foreign to Peregrine, she turns to human obituaries to help her understand her own suffering. By piecing together a tapestry of human lives throughout history, Peregrine begins to unravel the truth of what actually happened to Poppy—and it takes her places she never could have imagined.

Through the miasma of grief, Peregrine finds a story of art and love and betrayal, greed and war, and redemption that spans several centuries, traverses our dying planet and beyond, and ultimately helps her understand her role in the world. EDEN

The daughter of the town’s fire-and-brimstone preacher is not immune to the fear. But when a skull found deep in the swamp reunites her with a man with a dark reputation, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her town from evil: not the horrors rumored to dwell in the swamp, but the real evil that walks among them.

Expat Zoe Barlow has settled well into her artist’s life among the Lost Generation in 1920s Paris. When a too-tipsy guest at her weekly poker game breaks Zoe’s favorite clock, she’s off to a Montparnasse flea market to bargain with the vendor Laurette for a replacement. What Zoe didn’t bargain for was the lost Chagall painting that’s been used like a rag to wrap her purchases! Eager to learn whether Laurette has more Chagalls lying about like trash, Zoe sets off to track her down at her storage shed. With no Laurette in sight, Zoe snoops around and indeed finds several additional Chagalls—and then she finds Laurette herself, dead beneath a scrap heap, her beautiful face bashed in.

With Paris hosting the 1924 Summer Olympics, the police are far too busy with touristrelated crimes to devote much time to the clock seller’s murder. After returning the paintings to a grateful Marc Chagall, Zoe begins her own investigation. Did the stolen paintings play any part in the brutal killing? Or was it a crime of passion? Zoe soon discovers that there were many people who had reason to resent the lovely Laurette. But who hated the girl enough to stop her clock permanently? When Zoe discovers a second murder victim, the pressure is on to find the killer before time—and luck—run out.

The 50/50 Solution

The Surprisingly Simple Choice that Makes Moms, Dads, and Kids Happier and Healthier after a Split

Emma Johnson

The 50/50 Solution is a groundbreaking approach to custody arrangements that allows single moms to succeed while protecting dads’ rights—leading to happier, healthier kids!

• Author platform: Emma Johnson is the creator of the online community Wealthy Single Mommy and writes for numerous publications about divorce, parenting, and custody issues

• Captures a trending parenting movement: The 50/50 Solution highlights a trend that has been building momentum over the past decade—more and more families are opting for 50/50 custody but there are still plenty who have never considered it

When her marriage ended, like many (most) women, Emma Johnson signed on for the standard-issue divorce package. She had primary custody of the kids, who spent a few evenings and weekends with their father. But she quickly learned that this classic arrangement left her with the kids 80% of the time, while also in charge of almost all her children’s meetings, appointments, and activities.

The reality is that this traditional arrangement has single mothers feeling utterly overwhelmed. But there IS a solution: a true 50/50 split. 50/50 parenting is already mandated in some states and studies support that children of divorced parents are happier and healthier when they divide their time equally between both parents. It’s better for the kids, and also it’s better for women, and for men. In short, everybody wins!

All moms have to deal with choosing baby names, potty training, finding your village, and answering your kid’s tough questions, but if you are raising a Black child, you have to deal with a lot more than that. Especially if you’re a single Black mom, and adopting.

Nefertiti Austin shares her story of starting a family through adoption as a single Black woman. In this unflinching account of her parenting journey, Nefertiti examines the history of adoption in the African American community, faces off against stereotypes of single Black moms, and confronts the reality of what it looks like to raise children of color and answer their questions about racism in modern-day America.

A guided self-care journal that helps you take time to reflect on your beliefs about death, grieve loved ones, and ultimately get more joy out of the life you’re lucky enough to live

• Unique self-care: A completely new concept in the guided journal space that focuses on engaging with the idea of death to ultimately bring more joy, peace, and gratitude into our daily lives

• Expert author: Anita Hannig has taught a university-level course on death and dying and is the author of The Day I Die, an acclaimed narrative nonfiction book about medical assistance in dying in America

Contemplating death is scary. Most of us prefer not to dwell on the fact that our time here is limited. It feels unnerving to admit that this will all end. Though we spend our entire existence in the shadow of mortality, we like to imagine that we will live forever.

And yet, death is an integral and important part of life! Doing this work isn’t easy; it requires a great deal of courage, commitment, and reflection. But it is worth it, and not only because it makes the prospect of death less daunting. In fact, the benefits of making friends with your eventual death are incalculable. Because nothing brings you more immediately into the present than the realization that life is finite, and that inspires us to live more fully.

How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science

Annie Grossman

Ever wish your dog could talk? You need to learn their language! From the co-founder of the School For The Dogs, this essential training guide teaches you all about animal behavior and learning to improve two-way communication between owners and their dogs

• Speaking the dog’s language: Very few books speak to the importance of two-way communication between dogs and their owners as well as building a strong relationship with your dog and the role that plays in training

• Backed by science: The dog training techniques outlined in this book use behavioral science to not only teach the how but the why, to make learning more effective

One of the only dog training books on the market to teach two-way communication between dogs and owners, this book offers a science-based approach to positive reinforcement dog training. Focusing on the “why”, as much as the “how” informs readers that communication between a dog and their owner is a two way street. Mastering this ultimately fortifies an owner’s relationship with their dog and makes for a more meaningful bond.

Author Annie Grossman is co-founder of School For The Dogs, a training center in the East Village in New York, that has a stellar reputation for its classes and private lessons to over 4,000 dog owners in New York City, and to tens of thousands of clients all over the globe thanks to its virtual offerings.

A Tale of Two Titties

A Writer’s Guide to Conquering the Most Sexist Tropes in Literary History

Meg Vondriska

The breast-kept secret male authors never wanted you to know…

• A social media darling with a wide and varied audience: The author runs the hilarious @ MenWriteWomen X, formerly known as Twitter, account, which boasts more than 70k followers, including Seth Rogen and Lin-Manuel Miranda

• Feminist commentary at its hilarious best: More than man-bashing, the author’s feminist take on men writing women is empowering, incredibly relevant for today’s issues, and laugh-out-loud funny

Let’s face it, women’s representation in literature really sucks. And that’s mostly because of the male authors who write female characters like they’re nothing more than playthings in their stories. Whether they have breasts like ripe peaches or curves like a racetrack, the literary ladies gracing the pages of bestselling books rarely serve a purpose beyond supporting a male character (or giving him something to fantasize about).

But what are you supposed to do about it if you can’t even get a foot (or a boob) in the door?

You beat them at their own game.

In this hilarious yet incisive guide, you’ll learn how to write women just like a bestselling male author—stereotypes, tropes, objectification, and all—so you can start dismantling the system from the inside. With thoughtful literary analysis, interactive exercises, and commentary that perfectly straddles the line between satirical hilarity and righteous indignation, A Tale of Two Titties is both an illuminating study of women’s representation in literature and an absurd (yet accurate) guide to writing through the male gaze.

MEGHAN VONDRISKA graduated from Northland College, where she received a degree that does not pertain at all to what she does in real life. She has a reputation for saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time, which resulted nicely in an X account dedicated purely to antagonizing male writers who seem to have never met a woman in real life. By day, Meghan crafts social plans for large companies, and by night she stays up far too late reading fiction.

Wanted: Toddler’s Personal Assistant

Stephanie Kiser

America

Saddled with crushing student debt, Steph Kiser jumps head-first into the lucrative but unglamorous and exhausting world of nannying for New York City’s richest families, immersing herself in a world in stark contrast to her own impoverished childhood, in this emotional and insightful new memoir

• A millennial take in the memoir space: A fresh and fascinating millennial take on the behind-the-scenes career memoir genre, for readers of Maid and Primates of Park Avenue, sure to attract a wide audience

• A trending topic: “Nannytok” has over 160M views, and the intrigue of what working for the uber rich is like is rampant on the internet

• A highly accessible and commercial read: This books has the bingeable, can’t-look-away propulsion that is reminiscent of today’s most popular fiction titles

After a dysfunctional childhood as one of four kids born to teenage parents and raised “white trash” in poor Rhode Island, Stephanie Kiser finds herself a 22-year-old firstgeneration college grad drowning in student loan debt. To stay afloat, she surrenders her career-track PR job for a position as nanny to New York City’s toddler elite.

The span of seven years takes Stephanie on a journey from working alongside a stayat-home mom in her ten-million dollar Park Ave apartment, to a “no discipline” family, to the Kushner’s, world-class doctors, and finally, to a position with a young couple, both high-powered lawyers, with three small kids.

Interwoven with Stephanie’s time in the glamourous world of the 1% (in the unglamourous role of domestic help) is the narrative of her own upbringing, the contrasts illuminating both the effects of privilege and the grit of self-sufficiency.

Life Lessons from a Parasite

What Tapeworms, Flukes, Lice, and Roundworms Can Teach Us About Humanity’s Most Difficult Problems

John Janovy Jr. PhD

An exploration of the most common life form on Earth— parasites—and how they provide insight into humanity’s most difficult problems

• Exciting addition to the pop-science shelf: The natural sciences, “weird” science, and pop-science are ever popular with readers, and this dives into a little explored, fascinating topic

• A little idea within the big picture: This project takes a tiny topic—parasites—to hook the reader and uses it to illuminate life’s biggest questions, in the vein of Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life (but mission driven!)

• Timely topics viewed through a new lens: Life Lessons touches on ever-relevant, hot button issues like global pandemics, misinformation, and nationalism, using examples learned from the world of parasites to provide possible solutions

In this unique piece of pop-science, one of the world’s preeminent experts on parasites reveals their astonishing, disgusting, weird, and fascinating behaviors and how they provide insight into humanity’s most difficult problems.

Squeamishness aside, what can humans learn from the most reviled yet misunderstood animals on Earth: lice, tapeworms, and maggots that can eat a lizard from the inside?

And how can these lessons help us negotiate a world characterized by pandemic disease, ethnic hatred, climate change, war, and internet-driven political chaos?

Whether we’re learning to adapt to adverse conditions, accept our own limitations, or process new information in a frightening landscape—we can be sure a parasite did it first. Because sometimes, the answers to life’s biggest questions can be found by looking at the little things.

The Grift

The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans from the Party of Lincoln to the Cult of Trump

Clay Cane

Award-winning journalist and SiriusXM radio host

Clay Cane reveals how over a 200-year history, Black Republicans have transformed from leaders of justice to insidious sellouts who have aligned themselves with white supremacists in order to gain power

• Exposure through EBONY: A powerhouse property, this book will reach a large audience through EBONY’s guaranteed promotion in print, digital, podcast, book club, and more

• Perfect for individuals tuned into social issues: Readers are tending to gravitate towards books on contemporary politics, especially those with a Black narrative

Once upon a time, Black Republicans were revolutionaries. Today, many see them as traitors, selling their souls for power. In 2021, Black conservatives are the greatest grift.

Journalist and radio host Clay Cane examines how the Republican party evolved into a safe space for racists and how Black Republicans attempt to gain power by aligning themselves with white supremacy. Black Republicans consistently make viral news, whether it’s Senator Tim Scott, 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson, or radical conservative commentator Candace Owens, who proudly upholds white supremacy to gain power.

The Deaf Girl

A Memoir of Hearing Loss, Hope, and Fighting Against the Odds

Abigail Heringer

An inspiring memoir of disability, fame, and identity

• As a fan-favorite contestant on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, Abigail’s story will appeal to all members of #BachelorNation

• The author has a significant platform with 772k followers on Instagram and 127.4k followers on TikTok

• A powerful and empowering memoir of disability, shining a new light on the deaf experience and cochlear implants

Abigail Heringer made her television debut as an instant fan-favorite on ABC’s The Bachelor. Stepping out of the luxurious limo, she confidently approached her bachelor and let him know that she’d be staring at his lips all night for two reasons: (1) she was born deaf and (2) he has some nice-looking lips.

But Abigail’s life didn’t start out with this level of self-assured energy. In fact, it started with barely any at all. As a deaf child and natural introvert, Abigail was terrified of the spotlight—always afraid of how people would react to her disability and how her presence would inconvenience others. But with the support of her family (especially her deaf older sister), she learned that the world would walk all over her if she let it. Only through becoming her fiercest advocate and loudest champion could she ever learn to find her own voice.

Vote With Your Phone

Why Mobile Voting Is Our Final Shot at Saving Democracy

Bradley Tusk

From Bradley Tusk, prominent philanthropist and creator of the Mobile Voting movement, comes an urgent and timely analysis of our broken democracy and the revolutionary way we can fix it: voting from our phones.

• An author with reach: Bradley Tusk of Tusk philanthropies, is an incredibly prominent public figure with a wide-reaching voice, and this book will be a companion to his grassroots Mobile Voting campaign.

• Timely topic for the 2024 election: This call to action is just in time for the sure-to-be heated 2024 election, when voters will be thinking about the type of change they wish to see in this world.

• Tech debates: With more discourse surrounding technology and its uses, the idea of mobile voting and its impact on voter turnout and representation is sure to appeal to those curious about our technological world.

The way we vote is broken.

Poll after poll reveals that most Americans agree on major issues—gun control, climate change, healthcare—but low voter turnout keeps our elected officials on the far ends of the political spectrum and unable to compromise. Every policy output is the result of political input, and our inputs are not representative. Our voting system is heavily influenced by special interests among politicians who worry about their next elections and little else.

The technology exists to fix this problem by drastically increasing voter turnout: mobile voting.

We do just about everything on our phones, but we can’t use them to vote. But since 2018, mobile voting pilots and audits have taken place in 21 elections and 7 states. This technology has the ability to exponentially increase voter turnout and restore faith in the promise of a representative democracy where compromise and bipartisanship are possible. This book introduces the history, opposition, and potential of mobile voting to generate grassroot support and encourage us to seize the solution we already have.

Finding the 110 Messier (pronounced Messy-ay) objects has never been easier! We provide a star map for each target—plus written directions for how to find it by starhopping, an “eyepiece view” image to confirm you’re seeing it, observing tips from two veteran stargazers, and interesting facts. We also highlight additional nearby objects. These objects are presented in their recommended viewing order—either by season, or during an all-night marathon. Each page contains an observation log so you can track your progress. Whether you’re a veteran stargazer or a budding astronomer, this book is your best guide to seeing each deep-sky object in Messier’s list!

I’m Sorry for My Loss

Undoing Our Cultural Ignorance Around Pregnancies that End Without a Baby

Rebecca Little and Colleen Long

A comprehensive sociological look at the laws, pop culture, medicine, and history surrounding female grief and pregnancy loss, how it came to be so stigmatized, and what a system of more compassionate care could look like, from Pulitzer Prize finalist and White House correspondent Colleen Long and freelance journalist Rebecca Little

• No book like this on the market: Explores pregnancy loss through deep research into laws, pop culture, medicine, history, and personal narratives, offering a comprehensive sociological look at how pregnancy loss came to be so stigmatized, an angle that no other book on the market takes

• Broad audience appeal: Beyond people who have experienced pregnancy loss themselves or their loved ones, readers interested in issues of feminism, social justice, and reproductive rights will also be interested in this book

Rebecca Little and Colleen Long are journalists and childhood friends who both experienced pregnancy losses past 20 weeks. In the days, weeks, and months that followed, they searched desperately for information to help them process what they had been through. But they found nothing.

So, Rebecca and Colleen began to research. Diving deep into the history, culture, and science around pregnancy loss, they discovered that the helplessness and loneliness they felt was not a coincidence. Over the past several decades, American culture has been placing more and more emphasis on the rights and life of the fetus—at the cost and well-being of the mother. Politics, history, racism, misogyny, capitalism, and medicine have been working separately and together to choke off grief related to pregnancy loss.
