Congratulations to our nominees for the Shirley Jackson Awards! We hope the jury will see the magic we do, but either way, we love to recognize our authors. As a small-press publishing house, one of our greatest joys is putting forth names for awards consideration.

We've been INTO THE GRAY with Ember to learn it's okay to not be okay.

Get ready to go back to Nowhere with Will...as he learns that forgetting isn't the answer to grief.

Book 2: WITHIN THE BLACK

Will's mom died, leaving an emptiness that fills with hurt and anger. The black of Nowhere offers a chance for him to exist where no one says they’re sorry and where thoughts of Mom don’t crush his mind like a meteor.
