The Lion and the Wolf
Malkia Charlee | April 2026
Dystopian thriller | paperback, ebook and audiobook
In a fractured, surveilled, and increasingly diminished existence rooted in a violent class and caste system, The Lion and the Wolf drops us into the brutal reality of 2085—where humanity’s last free will has been bartered for the illusion of perfection. And those who can’t or won’t comply quietly disappear.
The Lion and the Wolf is where gritty realism collides with speculative fiction in a world where justice is outlawed and survival is its own act of rebellion.
In the Light of Black Spinel
Kamaria Muntu | March 2026
Poetry | paperback, hardback and album
“The road that brought me here /
was paved with breasts that would not lactate /
and the skeletons of two who wore the skin of men / without the memory.” Lymphoma
This expansive collection by Muntu presents a lyrical exploration of the Black experience. Inclusive of disciplined forms such as tanka, haiku, and kami-no-ku, as well as elegiac poems and beautifully crafted narrative verse - this work is both abstract and vividly real. In the Light of Black Spinel spans decades of writing that interrogates the body, survival, womanhood, and grace. Of her autobiographical poem Lymphoma, Call and Response: The Riverside Anthology of the African American Literary Tradition writes, “As she commits the struggle against her personal enemy to her verse, Muntu does it with exquisite style and tightly chosen words.” Muntu’s poetic range mirrors the poignancy of the African-American experience: grief and celebration, intimacy and protest, memory and prophecy.
Hymns and Homicide
Mystery | paperback, ebook and audiobook
Mysteries don’t care about your retirement plans.
Dr. Hester Delaney—a recently retired criminal profiler and psychiatrist—thinks she can finally settle into her sprawling Gichi Falls home and escape the past – but when the minister husband of a close friend goes missing, her daughter, Dr. Hester Delaney Jr or “Tee”, a professor of historical crime, also finds herself roped into the investigation. Tee happens to be chasing a disappearance of her own. Now, the mother and daughter have to navigate secrets, small-town deceptions, and their own personal baggage to uncover the truth.
With dry humor, engaging twists and turns, and a touch of liturgical whimsy, Hymns and Homicide is the first in a sharp, stylish mystery series with generational wisdom.
