  When the world is drowning, diplomacy is more than handshakes and headlines.Nitara Desai has spent her life negotiating international agreements, easing points of conflict, and averting disasters. Worst-case scenarios belong in her nightmares, not the IEC’s daily reports. On a calm day, being a director at the International Energy Consortium only requires fixing CarbonCon translators for flustered Brazilian delegates. A thankless job, but the world is still drowning in CO2—there’s no choice but to keep treading.On a bad day, it’s not just the Brazilians acting up, but the Americans walking out, and now the Governor of Southern California insisting on a clandestine meeting. Then a text comes from Matti, her solid rock in the stormy seas: Guess what? We’re getting married!Suddenly, an earthquake is slow-rolling through her personal life as well.She waited too long: to tell Matti how she feels, to quit the unwinnable race to net zero, to grab hold of the things that make life worth living, not just trying to stay afloat. When the governor reveals an impossible technology that could save the planet, but it’s in the hands of a murderously ambitious man, it’s a catastrophe she can’t turn away from. And it’s almost enough to distract her from everything falling apart. Work first, always. And maybe that’s been the problem all along.Yet You Cry When It Hurts is the fourth of four tightly-connected hopepunk novels in a near-future climate-fiction series. It’s about our future, how the forces of greed are ever-present, how the fight for a just world never ends, and how it’s not strongmen who will save us but the bright cords of connection that hold the world together.If you enjoyed the optimistic climate solutions in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Ministry for the Future or the cozy cooperative future in Becky Chambers’ Monk and Robot series, you will enjoy Nothing is Promised.

  Some houses remember. Some refuse to forgive. 
   
  When a young family inherits a stunning mountain home outside Telluride, Colorado, they believe they’ve found paradise—six thousand square feet of glass and timber perched above a snow-draped valley. 
   
  Instead, they inherit the nightmares. 
   
  Every night, armed men drag them from their beds. Every night, they are forced into the snow at gunpoint and marched into the dark. 
   
  Desperate for answers, they call Ellen, Sue, and Tanya. 
   
  What begins as a haunting rooted in restless dreams soon reveals a deeper unrest—one born during Colorado’s violent labor wars at the turn of the twentieth century. A mine manager shot dead. A union leader accused of murder. A town divided by loyalty, fear, and bloodshed. And beneath the house’s modern foundation lies the original cellar—along with the buried records of a conflict that was never truly resolved. 
   
  As the nightmares grow more vivid and the mountain itself seems to tremble with memory, Ellen and her friends must determine what really happened in 1901—and whether justice was ever served. 
   
  Because someone is still fighting that war. 
   
  And this time, the living are caught in the crossfire.

  Lake Garda, Italy, 1925 
  Uncle Albert, in relentless pursuit of his hobby, is off to a secluded island on Lake Garda, Italy. Guided by ancestral duty, Lady Caroline, his reluctant secretary, follows in his wake. An exclusive party has gathered to celebrate the coming out of the Queen of the Night with a midnight soiree. 
  But as the guests prepare to witness the exotic plant’s once-a-year bloom, Uncle Albert is discovered in the villa’s conservatory with a dead body. Worse yet, with the Queen of the Night completely destroyed. 
  While Lady Caroline is determined to clear her aging relation’s good name, Uncle Albert seems to dig himself further into trouble. When a second body turns up in the manicured gardens, and Uncle Albert again is the most likely culprit, Lady Caroline decides it’s time to put her scavenger hunt skills–the same ones that got her into this “secretary” mess in the first place–to good use and follow the clues to the real killer. 
  With a closed circle of upper-crust suspects, an elegant historic location, and a puzzling murder mystery without the gore, it’s a golden age country house whodunnit transplanted to Italy. 
  Death in the Garden is Book 2 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.
