While We Were Burning (2024)
Sara Koffi
"Sara Koffi's While We Were Burning gives voice to the living and to the dead in a multiracial America, where the characters' individual and collective hopes hang in the balance due to the traumatic and costly residuals of history. Koffi's cogent, unclouded depiction of Black and White lives along many spectrums of choice and consequence carry this Hitchockian novel to a fitting but still astonishing crescendo. Above all, While We Were Burning achieves an all-embracing contemporary story of the risks of friendship and love for us all."
Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? (2023)
Crystal Smith Paul
"The witty and sensational Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? marks Crystal Smith Paul as a brilliant new talent to watch."
