Delighted that @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social will be publishing OUR GIFTED HEARTS by @jenniferkennedy.bsky.social in October. This is a gothic feminist reimagining of the Legend of Bluebeard and it's utterly wonderful. It also has a stunning cover!

I had a realisation at the weekend that September at HS-LA is very yellow... Luckily I had these cheery sunflowers ready to pose with our two September releases
