A Philosophy of Thieves (2025)
(Canarvier Files, book 1)
Fran Wilde
"A Philosophy of Thieves is a propulsive romp, full of twists and reveals that left me breathless. Wilde's intricate near-future world holds a mirror up to our own, skewering excess and access while delivering thrills and an unexpectedly tender family story. The Canarviers will dazzle and delight you, right before they steal your heart."

Salvagia (2025)
Tim Chawaga
"A sharp and inventive debut, Salvagia is a full-throttle trip that doesn't let up until the last page. With deft worldbuilding and compellingly noirish characters, Chawaga's future Florida crackles with intrigue and danger at every turn."

Welcome to Forever (2024)
Nathan Tavares
"A thrilling vision of the future and a poignant tale of love and marriage, Welcome to Forever is impossible to forget. Tavares keenly engages with contemporary conversations about immortality and identity, and weaves a heartbreakingly beautiful story about the lengths people go for the ones they love."
