Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? (2023)
Crystal Smith Paul
"Kitty Karr Tate epitomizes the American Dream--a success fueled by bold ambition, ingenuity, and a healthy dose of breathtaking beauty. She is the heroine to whom any reader can seamlessly direct their imagination. In this sweeping and dazzling debut, I was ushered behind the velvet rope guarding the pristine glamour of Old Hollywood and whispered the wildly complex secrets hidden by larger-than-life on-screen personas. Nothing is as it seems, and indeed the truth was infinitely more intriguing than the facade. Propulsive and entertaining, with broad historical relevance and critical cultural significance, this is the uniquely American story we all need to read--it holds a piece of all of us. I absolutely loved it and will be looking forward to more from Crystal Smith Paul."
Rosewater (2023)
Liv Little
"Rosewater is sexy, alive, and modern-a perfectly-formed romance . . . this book is a must-read and a captivating delight."
Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? (2022)
Lizzie Damilola Blackburn
"Blackburn deftly immerses us in the life of a loveable Yinka as she straddles two cultures in her search for a 'huzband.' Smart, sophisticated, and fresh this is the 'girl gets herself' type of story I love to read!"
