Long After We Are Gone (2024)
Terah Shelton Harris
"A big, beautiful, devastating, and ultimately hopeful novel."

A Wild and Heavenly Place (2024)
Robin Oliveira
"A vivid story of the grit and the glory of early Seattle... An epic story of star-crossed lovers that spans continents and classes."

The Enemy at Home (2023)
Kevin O'Brien
"A classic Kevin O'Brien page-turner, with a new historical twist. O'Brien takes us deep into Seattle during WWII, as his heroine juggles work, misogyny, solo parenting, and a serial killer on the loose. Nora is a heroine to root for, and the curves in the plot kept me reading late into the night (while checking the locks on my doors!)."
