(Let’s just say we’ve been busy behind the scenes…)

GODDESS OF THE NORTH (Georgina Kamsika)

Adult  | #OwnVoices // DI Sara Nayar is not the bright young police detective she seems to be; she’s actually the Hindu goddess Saraswathi, living as a human after a dispute with her mother, the trickster goddess Mohini.  When a man is murdered at the Sheffield Castle Market, Sara senses that another god is involved– perhaps the Norse god Loki.   But setting aside her divine nature has left Sara dangerously vulnerable.  With the help of her partner, the attractive DI Michael Higgins, Sara must uncover both the human and divine reasons for the crime and protect the city she loves.

Slated for Publication in Spring, 2020.

BUT FOR THE MOUNTAINS (Erin Riha)

Young Adult // At 12 years old, Arden Thatcher was one of four girls rescued from poverty by a powerful Benefactor for an opportunity that could change her life: to be groomed for the chance to attend the prestigious National Women’s Institute, the only one of its kind, preparing the next generation of women in politics. But nothing is as she thought it’d be, and Arden must learn how to stand up for herself and make her own way out.

But for the Mountains would appeal to fans of The Selection by Kiera Cass, The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead, and The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.

Slated for Publication in Spring, 2020.

LIGHT KEEPER (Brianne Zwambag)

Young Adult // Magic is dead. King Cormack made sure of that when he burned every last Light Keeper a decade ago. But he missed one, and she’s ready to come out of hiding. The Light Keeper is a fairytale twist that will appeal to fans of Rosamund Hodge, Sarah J. Maas and Maria V. Snyder.

Slated for Publication in Summer, 2020.

The Misadventures of a Life Less Lived (Gerrard) — Grab it!

College junior Doug has built his entire collegiate experience around having a cool life, a status he maintains by keeping his bookish tendencies and crush on “nerdy” Eliza a secret from his popular fraternity and cheerleader girlfriend. But when he wakes one morning to discover that the life he’d kept in the fraternity fridge (because where else would one store a chill life?) has spoiled, panic ensues. As a high-ranking member of a popular fraternity, having no life is social suicide. He’ll be ostracized, forgotten, and maybe even kicked out of the frat.

Desperate to remedy his lifeless status before anyone notices, Doug embarks upon a mission to replace his ruined life with a similar one. But finding a new life isn’t quite as simple as going to the store. And Doug quickly discovers that if he wants another life, he’s going to have to earn one by running a gauntlet of humbling, and often humiliating, life lessons. Though resistant, he may yet learn that his deceptions have never served him and have only helped enforce the biggest lie of all—the one he’s told himself.

A snarky, often ridiculous satirical examination of what makes a fulfilled life, The Misadventures of a Life Less Lived is a quirky, thought-provoking debut full of clever metaphors and literary allusions.

Conduit (Dowling) — Grab it!

When college senior Jane Lamb dies suddenly, she discovers that the afterlife is less pearly gates and fluffy clouds and more standing in line at the DMV. But before she can spend eternity lamenting over her short, unremarkable life, she’s offered a do-over—as a Conduit, a reincarnated messenger contracted to reap souls.

Determined to do things right the second time, Jane takes the job and reincarnates as eighteen-year-old college freshman Liv Hartley. Only, the excitement for her new life doesn’t last. There are consequences to bearing the coveted infinity symbol tattoo marking her as a Conduit, and Liv quickly finds that getting a second chance doesn’t mean getting a better one. Possessive demons, stolen assignments, and a love life that’s decidedly complicated are all a far cry from the mundane existence Jane led. But with more questions piling up than bodies, there’s only one thing Liv knows for sure: life doesn’t get any easier after death.

Filled with sparkling wit, conflicted romance, and more spirit than a haunted mansion, Conduit is a fun-filled paranormal that explores the idea of regret, love, and what we would give to live twice.

Of Bells and Thorns (Cano) — Grab it!

Sequel to The Rose Master.

Rosewood Manor has been ashes for weeks.

Left with no post and no home, Anne Tinning never expected to find herself in a luxurious carriage, dressed in the finest of clothes, pretending to be the wife of Lord August Grey. The search for Miss Bellingham, however, will require them to blend into the very height of London society, a class Anne has only ever served, and which August despises. But August insists that the ruse is the only way. For although they’ve vanquished the wraith that called for August’s life, they will never be safe unless they find a way to stop the woman he scorned.

There are traces of Lily Bellingham the length and breadth of London, but when Anne and August investigate the gruesome disappearances in a factory she has just purchased, they realize that Lily is more powerful than either of them. And she has devised a new way to take her revenge.

With another curse placed upon August’s head, Anne must find a way to defeat Lily, and this time, she will have no help from the young man she has grown to love. This time, the curse is more insidious, twisting him into someone unrecognizable.

This time, August Grey is the one she must fear.

Lush, lyrical, and layered in horror-filled suspense, Of Bells and Thorns evokes the feel of classic Gothic literature, blending the magic of a beautiful fairy tale against the rich backdrop of history.

The post Fall 2017 Paperbacks – Available Now! appeared first on REUTS | Boutique Book Publisher |.

And today we’re excited to reveal the cover—with all its glitz and glam! Check it out below the blurb.

Forsyth Turn never wanted to be a hero. And yet, even in the Overrealm, a hero is what he’ll be.

After their last adventure in Hain, Forsyth expected to return to the life he’d built with Pip and Alis, his days of magic and heroics behind him. But then Pip starts suffering night terrors laced with images of glowing ivy and Elgar Reed calls with fears of bizarre threats and a man garbed all in black.

But there is no magic in the Overrealm. Forsyth refuses to believe that anything other than mundane coincidence is at work—until Elgar’s stalker leaves him a message too eerie and specific to ignore. Now, he has to face the possibility that Pip’s dreams and Elgar’s fears are connected . . . and that maybe they weren’t the only ones to escape the pages of The Tales of Kintyre Turn.

And if that’s the case, it’s going to take more than a handful of heroes to save the day this time. It’s going to take an army. Luckily, Reed fans are legion.

A stunning conclusion to the series, The Silenced Tale is a genre-bending whirlwind that breathes life into the idea that the power of story lies not just with the creator, but with the fans who love it.

And here’s the cover:

It’s one of my favorite days of the year. No, seriously. The day—the fifth of February (not to be confused with the fifth of November, also one of my favorite days; also not to be confused with Superbowl Sunday)—is special to me, and to those who edit for REUTS. One year ago, I dubbed February 5th Thank an Editor Day, because so often the editors of our community aren’t acknowledged as they should be. It was also a day when REUTS made a promise to you, the readers, and our wonderful editors: Every book published from here on out will feature an “Edited by_____” spot in the copyright page. Cover artists, photographers, musicians and interior formatters are thanked—why not editors?

To continue spreading the love and gratitude, we want to shout from the social media mountain tops how thankful!

So, please join us in five days (February 5th, 2017!) in thanking the editor who championed your book. The editor who saw the jumbled pieces, and stitched them whole. The editor who may know your story even better than you know yourself. Thank them, and all the hard work they’ve done for this community and the publishing industry as a whole. Use the hashtag #ThankAnEditor to do so, or overlay one of the images below on your book cover and tag your editor! Or both!

 (Right-click + save the image, or drag it onto your desktop to use.)

Here are some examples of how the overlay will look over a book cover:

Remember: #ThankAnEditor day is

Sunday, February 5th, 2017!

And, as always, here at REUTS, we’re absolutely thankful for all the editors on our team ::hugs::

If you’ve never done one before, I’ll explain. Each day you take a photo based on the prompt. Let’s start tomorrow (Feb 1st) with nature. Heading to the park for pokeballs and a pretty snap shot sounds nice, but maybe I end up stuck at home so instead just take a photo of a cover with trees. On Feb 2nd, maybe I feel like posing with my newest YA favorite. The prompts are simply suggestions to get you going. Work it any way that brings a smile to your face.

Photo challenges are most popular on Instagram, but I’ll be watching for your #REUTS posts there as well as on twitter, and tumblr. Please feel free to re-post the graphic above anywhere that is handy to you!
