The Ocean Above Me (2023)
Kevin Sites
"The Ocean Above Me is an intense and powerful novel about losing one's way and then finding it again in the unlikeliest of places. I found it moving, thought-provoking and gripping in equal measure."
thumb
The Last Karankawas (2022)
Kimberly Garza
"The Last Karankawas is a deft and moving portrait of ordinary lives lived in an extraordinary place. Kimberly Garza's writing is warm, beautifully observed, and filled with human drama. Like all really good fiction, it opens our eyes to new experiences and shows us things we don't already know."

The Weight of Loss (2022)
Garden of Earthly Bodies

Sally Oliver
"The Weight of Loss is a beautifully written and intensely felt novel. Its subject matter - grief and mortality - is timeless, but its method, a startling combination of emotional realism and gothic horror, feels brand new."
