The Mimicking of Known Successes (2023)
(Investigations of Mossa and Pleiti, book 1)
Malka Older
"Every once in a while, a book comes along that is both a comfort read and a rousing, fist-pumping adventure, and The Mimicking of Known Successes absolutely is both of those things. An utter triumph."
thumb
The Dog of the North (2023)
Elizabeth McKenzie
"Elizabeth McKenzie has a unique gift for turning the messiness of families and their unfinished business into poignant comedy. You will fall in love with this extended clan of misfits, even after they break your heart."

Night Shift (2022)
(Outspoken Authors, book 29)
Eileen Gunn
"Plenty of science fiction and fantasy authors do 'thought experiments' but few of them disregard experimental safety protocols with quit as much gleeful abandon as Eileen Gunn."
