James Han Mattson’s next novel, REPRIEVE, has received another incredible endorsement. Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND, writes: "REPRIEVE takes horror as its subject, while also using the genre as its means, delivering twists and fright and the kind of storytelling that keeps you turning pages. But the brilliance of James Han Mattson’s novel is in deploying the haunted house as a metaphor for our nation, where the true scare is a cultural reckoning with whiteness itself.” William Morrow will publish the novel on October 5, 2021.

Jodie Patterson spoke with Scary Mommy about BORN READY, and the importance of “broadening the scope of trans representation for kids and their families.” Patterson told the interviewer: [t]he reason why I wanted to write BORN READY was so that families and classrooms could share this with young eyes. Oftentimes, the adult conversation is discussing ideas that we’re interested in. But younger people have passed that, or they don’t even hold on to some of the same issues that we have as adults. So I didn’t want to put old ideas on new minds. For children to really have a positive story, a triumphant story without much of the weight that adults bring to the conversation around gender and transgender.” Crown Books for Young Readers published the book on April 20, 2021.

LOVE AND FURY by Samantha Silva received enthusiastic praise from Booklist.

Flatiron Books will publish the novel on May 25, 2021.

The Sunday Times named THE OLD ENEMY by Henry Porter as their Book of the Month. They rave: “This novel is at once an up-to-the-minute political novel about an emergent second Cold War, a timeless ripping espionage yarn and a continuation of the lives of characters who become richer with each appearance. It’s an impressive achievement and, as ever with Porter, told in an addictive blend of tangy dialogue and polished prose.” Atlantic Monthly Press will publish the book on June 8, 2021.

Norton & Company published the book on May 4, 2021.
