I Am Agatha (2026)
Nancy Foley
"I Am Agatha stands alone. Agatha, a renowned painter with a sharp eye, is a prickly older woman in a small New Mexico town who bends everything and everyone around her to rich, surprising, and dark extremes. Her story is one of a gloves-off becoming, even in the latter end of life - one that honors difficult women and art monsters, queer people and elders - in a single, unforgettable, and unexpected new voice. I laughed, I gasped, I felt punched in the gut. Foley has gifted us all her careful attention and remarkable talent to show us what comes after love, in a courageous and true exploration of the heart. She is a brilliant and powerful writer, and I Am Agatha is extraordinary."

Celestial Lights (2026)
Cecile Pin
"A tremendous achievement. Celestial Lights is an exquisitely human story about what we owe our loved ones and ourselves, and what part we may play in the greater universe. Cecile Pin is an enormous talent. Her prose sparkles with brilliant, moving insights into what it is to be a person and what ties us to one another. This stunning, exhilarating and unforgettable journey through time and space will stay with me always."
