Book cover for Songs of No Provenance by Lydi Conklin (Catapult). Joan Vole, an indie folk singer forever teetering on the edge of fame, flees New York after committing a shocking sexual act onstage that she fears will doom her career. Joan seeks refuge at a writing camp for teenagers in rural Virginia, where she’s forced to question her own toxic relationship to artmaking—and her complicated history with a friend and mentee—while finding new hope in her students and a deepening intimacy with a nonbinary artist and fellow camp staff member. https://books.catapult.co/books/songs-of-no-provenance/

Book cover for Fierce Voice by Susan Currie (Common Deer Press). Iz has everything she's ever wanted: she’s found the foster home of her dreams and is attending the prestigious music school she moved heaven and earth to get into. But secrets from her past keep threatening to spill into the present, and Iz is sure that her newfound loved ones will abandon her if they learn of her terrible history. Fierce Voice is the sequel to the White Pine Award nominee Iz the Apocaylpse. https://www.commondeerpress.com/books-1/fierce-voice
