We're delighted to announce that we're publishing the second novel by @andres_ordorica, What the Light Would Say, in May 2027 ✨ 

The novel centres on an unexpected romance that blossoms between a college student and a young soldier during the dying days of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. 

What the Light Would Say is a tender, sensual book and a beautiful exploration of two people willing to risk it all to live openly and freely.

Caring Up and Caring Down

✨ World Tarot Day ✨ 

What better day to reveal the cover for The Fool's Leap: Tarot as Creative Companion by @beewyld 

Blending personal insight with accessible exercises, The Fool’s Leap introduces a practice that integrates tailored spreads, creative prompts, and intuitive interpretation. Tarot opens better questions—about process, direction, and intention—rather than supplying fixed answers. The emphasis is on staying present with the work and building a sustainable creative rhythm.

Publishing in October and available to pre-order now! Visit our website for more details ✨

Happy National Gardening Week, which is taking place until the 3 May 🌱 

The theme for 2026 is Get Curious! 

From @the_rhs 'For 2026, we’re celebrating the simple pleasure of being curious in the garden. From the soft rustle of new leaves to the first signs of pollinators returning, every corner offers something worth noticing. Curiosity encourages us to pause, to explore and to enjoy the natural details that often go unseen.

Whether you garden on a windowsill or in a wide open plot, curiosity leads to better understanding and more rewarding moments outdoors. By asking questions, trying new ideas and observing how plants respond, gardeners of all abilities can deepen their connection with the spaces they care for.' 

Scroll to see a selection of our gardening books and visit our website to discover more!
