Book cover for Grace by Chika Unigwe (Canongate): It is Baby’s birthday, but Grace has not seen her first born in twenty-six years. Now a wife, mother to twin daughters and the owner of a successful medical clinic, Grace has carefully constructed a new life. And now, the secret she’s kept for decades is about to resurface – and it could destroy everything. A stirring, impactful novel about motherhood, finding meaning for yourself and fighting for the people that you love. https://canongate.co.uk/books/5178-grace/
Book cover for Paper Girls Burn: A Borderline Personality Disorder Memoir by Pippa Scott (Caitlin Press): From a young age, Pippa Scott was made to feel damaged for simply being different. A highly sensitive child prone to emotional outbursts, she was sent away to a rigid British boarding school. Instead of taming her, the experience of abandonment and isolation intensified her longing for acceptance and comfort. Set amidst the changing eras from the 1980s to the 21st century, Paper Girls Burn is a courageous, candid, and darkly comic memoir about the search for love, understanding, and identity through a neurodivergent lens. https://caitlinpress.com/Books/P/Paper-Girls-Burn
Book cover for Carnalis by Tiffany Morris (Nictitating Books): Wealthy party girl Lauren hungers for human flesh. Her girlfriend Alex, a recently injured dancer, is trapped in Lauren's toxic and deadly spiral. The looming threat of capture may prove to be less dangerous than Lauren herself and the lengths she will go to satiate her needs. Will Alex be next on the menu? https://nictitatingbooks.wixsite.com/official/books
Book cover for Ravenous by Sara Cooper (Roseway, an imprint of Fernwood Publishing): Breigh is a hot elder millennial who is obsessed with the brands she is ambassading for. Her policy is YES, and her livestreams are viral. But she’s pregnant now, and her body’s changing. It's not that she's hungry. She's definitely not depressed. She just sometimes eats boxes of makeup before passing out. Forthcoming August 2026. https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/ravenous
