Book cover for Songs of No Provenance by Lydi Conklin (Catapult). Joan Vole, an indie folk singer forever teetering on the edge of fame, flees New York after committing a shocking sexual act onstage that she fears will doom her career. Joan seeks refuge at a writing camp for teenagers in rural Virginia, where she’s forced to question her own toxic relationship to artmaking—and her complicated history with a friend and mentee—while finding new hope in her students and a deepening intimacy with a nonbinary artist and fellow camp staff member. https://books.catapult.co/books/songs-of-no-provenance/ Book cover for The Book Witch, the Wee White Dog, and the Little Free Library by Lana Shupe, ill. by Tegan Thomas (Nimbus). After travelling the world and collecting books from every country, the Book Witch is now settled at home with her wee white dog. She spends her days reading, surrounded by piles and piles of books. Life is good. Until one stormy day when a massive gust of wind blows a pile of heavy books over, landing on the Wee White Dog’s tail! Something must be done before tragedy strikes again. What can the Book Witch do with all these books? https://nimbus.ca/store/the-book-witch-the-wee-white-dog-and-the-little-free-library.html Book cover for The Last Band on Earth by author and illustrator Elaine M. Will (Renegade Arts). A dystopian horror story about music and mental illness. Nat and her bandmates in The Dead Layaways want to go on tour, but the demonic entities who run their city have other idea, not to mention the dark cloud that hangs over everything stifles their creativity. This ruined place is not their home, and they have no idea how they ended up here, or where “home” even is. Is there really nothing but endless wasteland beyond the city limits, as the demons claim? https://renegadeartsentertainment.com/product/the-last-band-on-earth/# Book cover for Fierce Voice by Susan Currie (Common Deer Press). Iz has everything she's ever wanted: she’s found the foster home of her dreams and is attending the prestigious music school she moved heaven and earth to get into. But secrets from her past keep threatening to spill into the present, and Iz is sure that her newfound loved ones will abandon her if they learn of her terrible history. Fierce Voice is the sequel to the White Pine Award nominee Iz the Apocaylpse. https://www.commondeerpress.com/books-1/fierce-voice
