Good Joy, Bad Joy (2026)
Mikki Brammer
"Once again, Mikki delivers a beautiful story, one that balances the complexity of grief with moments of levity and warmth in the deft, unmistakable style she is becoming known for. Good Joy, Bad Joy is not only a multilayered love letter to the wonder and resilience of female friendship, but also a tender reminder that at any stage of life, even at 89, it is never too late to bloom, to forge new connections, and to rediscover joy."

A Murder for Miss Hortense (2025)
(Miss Hortense Mysteries, book 1)
Mel Pennant

The Manual for Good Wives (2025)
Lola Jaye
"Lola has effortlessly embedded an unforgettable voice within a breathtaking story about love, lineage, and the intergenerational effect of bravery in the face of misfortune. I loved it!"
