Sharon Stone’s memoir, THE BEAUTY OF LIVING TWICE, is the number 1 entry on O, The Oprah Magazine's list of “20 of the Best Books to Pick Up This March.” They rave: "[T]his is not your typical Hollywood autobiography.

Kendra Allen’s debut poetry collection, THE COLLECTION PLATE, received a glowing endorsement from HEAVY and HOW TO SLOWLY KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN AMERICA author Kiese Laymon. He writes: “THE COLLECTION PLATE is as close as we can get to those looming Black spaces beyond and before language. A book shouldn't be able to do this, but Kendra Allen is a conjurer as much as she is one of the most complete writers we have ever read.” Ecco will publish the collection on July 6, 2021.

GOOP announced this week that Meg Mason’s debut novel, SORROW AND BLISS, has been selected as their March Book Club Pick. They write: “SORROW AND BLISS is a modern love story that’s funny and dark, sharp and tender, hopeful and hard to put down. It has a brooding Sally Rooney vibe (but explores a slightly older and more mature slice of life) with exceptional inner monologue and palpable chemistry among the characters.” Harper published the book on February 9, 2021.

I’VE SEEN THE FUTURE AND I’M NOT GOING by Peter McGough was named an essential art memoir by ARTNews. They write: “Peter McGough’s wry memoir of the 1980s art world focuses on his romantic and artistic partnership with David McDermott…McDermott & McGough’s work comes off in the book as a radical satire holding up a warped mirror to the reactionary Reagan era.” Pantheon published the book on September 17, 2019.

BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER, EXPLORER by Jamie Figueroa received a glowing review from The New York Times Book Review. They write: “BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER, EXPLORER packs a lot of story into just over 200 pages…Even those of us who resist magical realism might accept, maybe even celebrate it, in this beautifully crafted, poetic book." The book is also featured on March most-anticipated lists from The Millions, Bustle, and Debutiful. Catapult published the novel March 2, 2021.

Praise continues to build for Dawnie Walton’s THE FINAL REVIVAL OF OPAL & NEV, which will publish later this month.

That these heavy subjects don’t weigh down this hugely entertaining novel are testament to Walton’s deftness and skill." The book is also featured on March most-anticipated lists from Pop Sugar, Entertainment Weekly, and BookRiot, and Essence magazine lists Walton on its "The Power of the Pivot" profile of women who left successful careers to pursue their creative endeavors. 37 Ink Books will publish the book on March 30, 2021.
