“James Grady has been writing top-notch fiction for more than half a century, but AMERICAN SKY feels young: a coming-of-age story about a Montana boy and the nation he inhabits. Come for the characters, stay for the music and then pause to consider how America has been aging ever since. A lovely and ultimately bittersweet piece of time travel.”

Happy US to SYCORAX by ! 🌙🌺🌿

“Hetherington breathes new life into the character from Shakespeare’s The Tempest in this lyrical fantasy, exploring how chronic illness, ableism, and misogyny impact Sycorax’s life. The supernatural elements and historical backdrop are well conjured, and Hetherington tenderly captures Sycorax’s emotional resilience in the face of relentless prejudice.” — ✨

“THE SIX is an intriguing addition to the Titanic canon. An engrossing blend of detective story, disaster narrative and social history of the Chinese diaspora at the turn of the 20th century. James Cameron used Fang Lang’s survival story as the inspiration for the scene in which Rose, played by Kate Winslet, is pulled barely alive from the water. Schwankert’s compelling account succeeds in rescuing Lang — and his confreres — a second time.” — 🚢⚓️🌊
