Blood and Water

Rebecca Murphy

Susan arrives on Dune Island with a plan, settle her late uncle's estate, sign the papers, and leave within a week. The inheritance is simple, a weathered cottage, a small distillery, a stubborn dog named Walter.  On paper, nothing she couldn't sort in a week.
Except Susan isn't just there to close a chapter. She's running, from Jen, from a loss she cannot yet name, and from a life that has quietly unravelled.
But Dune Island has been keeping its own secrets.
Cut off on the edge of the Wild Atlantic Way, where the ferry runs on Mick's time and every glance carries a question, Susan begins to uncover what her uncle Frank left behind, not just property, but a lifetime of silence. And the longer she stays, the more the island reveals, buried stories, unspoken grief, a family history shaped as much by what was hidden as by what was known.
And as the past begins to surface, Susan must confront the truths she came to escape.
She came to Dune Island to be alone. The island had other ideas.
Blood and Water is a haunting, beautifully observed novel about identity, inheritance, and the quiet devastations that echo through generations. With warmth, wit, and emotional precision, Rebecca Murphy introduces a striking new voice in fiction, one that lingers long after the final page.

Geoffrey the Very Strange

Angel Martinez

Everyone's always told Aspic that trouble can't help following him because of his heritage. Determined to put the lie to half-demon stereotypes, he's finally landed a good, quiet job as an herbalist's clerk where the owner trusts him to man the shop alone. What could go wrong selling coriander and thyme? 
 
 
 
When Geoffrey first enters the shop, Aspic finds the little man's eccentric appearance startling, then intriguing. Geoffrey explains, in stops and starts, that he is a theoretical necromancer researching replacements for blood magic. His current line of inquiry involves seashells—do they have any in stock? Aspic's coworkers warn him that Geoffrey is a walking disaster, but he finds himself more and more drawn to a necromancer concerned with ethical death magic. 
 
 
 
Geoffrey's first impression of the half demon shop clerk is that his brain is as fluffy as his bright pink hair, but Aspic's persistent appearances at Geoffrey's lab soon let him see the kind heart underneath the façade of friendly nitwit. Aspic's company isn't that bad, and he is someone to talk to during the frustrations of one failed experiment after another. Failed, that is, until something finally goes right—and then terribly, horrifyingly wrong.

In a rut. 
Study, frat duties, planning for the future. 
When is it my turn to let loose for a moment? 
So when my dumb-as-bricks frat bro is scoping out the house for a little experimenting fun, I throw out the offer like it isn’t the most nerve-racking thing I’ve ever considered. 
I never imagined I’d actually enjoy it.

Swans - A Novel

Claire Luchette

A tender, exuberant tale of hitchhiking, lonely hearts, and queer dreaming, set during the great postal workers’ strike of 1970, Swans is the captivating second novel by the award-winning author of Agatha of Little Neon.It is March 1970, and the postal workers are on strike. Armed with a fold-up knife, a sock full of nickels, and a letter to the woman she loves, Sibby is on the run. An avid lonely-hearts correspondent, she escapes a conversion camp and hitches north, making her way through the kindness of strangers. Then she meets Lee, who is driving a pair of swans to Ohio: with the mail stopped, everyone has to be their own mail carrier, criss-crossing the Midwest to deliver or retrieve what they would have otherwise dropped in the post—a baby gift, a pension check, a crate of baby chicks, a love letter. When a gas station clerk asks Sibby and Lee to take an important message to a woman in another county, they begin to tell each other stories about the correspondents, crafting a happy queer love story, even as their own begins. But road trips are never without detours, unexpected passengers, and mechanical failures. Sibby and Lee meet a stranger at a motel who needs a ride north, and they find themselves drawn into a whole new set of adventures that complicate their mission and force them to confront their feelings and choices. Are they scabs for delivering the letter? Can a draft card be canceled? How do we know if a story is ours to tell? And if an identity is made up, is it not real?Tender, funny, and insightful, Claire Luchette’s Swans is a story of self-invention, disarming connection, little-known history, winding roads, and rewriting the future.
