Happy Book Birthday to Casey McQuiston, Rebecca Roanhorse, and Leslye Penelope!

It’s a busy release day here at kt! Congratulations to Casey McQuiston, Rebecca Roanhorse, and Leslye Penelope for their newest releases, out today!

For all the Casey McQuiston superfans, out now from is a special-edition paperback of I KISSED SHARA WHEELER, the instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie bestseller. What’s so special you ask? Well this version features a POV-chapter from the titular Shara that wasn’t in the original hardcover, called “an unfettered joy to read” by The New York Times.

Also hitting shelves from Saga Press is the third and final book in Rebecca Roanhorse’s BETWEEN EARTH AND SKY trilogy. Nominated for the Nebula, Lambda, Locus, and Hugo Awards, winner of the Alex Award from the American Library Association and the Ignyte Award from Fiyah magazine, the Between Earth and Sky trilogy is amongst our most lauded modern fantasy series from The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and USA TODAY bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse. Now’s a good chance to get in on the trilogy whose first book had Stephan Graham Jones saying this: "This is the novel I've been waiting for. This is the novel we've all been waiting for.”

Finally, congratulations to Leslye Penelope and DAUGHTER OF THE MERCIFUL DEEP, out today from Redhook, in which a woman journeys into a submerged world of gods and myth to save her home in this powerful historical fantasy that shines a light on the drowned Black towns of the American South. Nicole Glover, author of THE CONDUCTORS, described it as “a mesmerizing tale that deftly blends history and magic. It's a thoughtful, timely, and immensely compelling read.”
