HELLO STRANGER

by

Katherine Center

Love isn't blind, it's just a little blurry.

Sadie Montgomery never saw what was coming...Literally! One minute she's celebrating the biggest achievement of her life—placing as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society competition—the next, shes lying in a hospital bed diagnosed with a “Probably Temporary” condition known as face blindness. She can see, but every face she looks at is now a jumbled puzzle of disconnected features. Imagine trying to read a book upside down and in another language. This is Sadie's new reality with every face she sees.

But, as she struggles to cope, hang on to her artistic dream, work through major family issues, and to take care of her beloved dog, Peanut, She falls into—love?, Lust? A temporary obsession to distract from the real problems in her life?--with not one man but two very different ones. The timing couldn't be worse.

If only her life were a little more in focus, Sadie might be able to find her way. But perceiving anything clearly right now seems impossible. Even though there are things we can only find when we aren't looking. And there are people who show up when we least expect them. And there are always, always other ways of seeing.

Hello Stranger will be published on July 11^th by publishers St. Martin's Press.

THE DEEP SKY

by

Yume Kitasei

They Left Earth to save humanity. They'll have to save themselves first.

It is the eve of Earth's environmental collapse. A single ship carries humanity's last hope: eighty elite graduates of a competitive program, who will give birth to a generation of children in deep space. But halfway to a distant but liveable planet, a lethal bomb kills three of the crew and knocks the Pheonix off course. Asuka, the only surviving witness, is an immediate suspect.

Asuka already felt like an imposter before the explosion. She was the last picked for the mission, she struggled during training back on earth, and she was chosen to represent Japan, a country she only partly knows as a half-Japanese girl raised in America. But estranged from her mother back home, The Pheonix is all she has left.

With the crew turning on each other, Asuka is determined to find the culprit before they all lose faith in the mission—or worse, the bomber strikes again.

The Deep Sky will be Published on July 18^th by Flatiron Books.
