THIS IMPOSSIBLE LIFE, by Chinelo Okparanta.

From the author of Under the Udala Trees — an epic of two siblings, orphaned by their rainmaker father’s one bad day, moving from Nigeria to the US to Italy on nothing but loyalty.

A book that begins with a rainmaker asked for weather on the cover. Not weather as scenery — weather as fate.

MIDNIGHT, AT THE WAR — (out April 14, 2026)

Inspired by legendary journalists Christiane Amanpour and Sylvia Poggioli, this novel follows a reporter chasing the biggest story of her career—while navigating a tense newsroom, a dangerous global conflict, and the personal life she’s trying to outrun.

Sharp. Urgent. Human.

Loved collaborating with Jazzberry on this one. The bold geometry, color, and architectural forms capture the tension and scale of the story so beautifully.

A powerful and deeply human story about the women of Kabul in the years after the Taliban’s return—soldiers, journalists, mothers, daughters—each fighting in her own way to hold onto the life she built.

I’ve had the privilege of designing several covers for whose novels always center Afghan women with such care and tenderness. Her stories are unforgettable.

For this cover, I was inspired by the deep ultramarine of lapis lazuli, long associated with Afghanistan, and the golden landscape surrounding Kabul. A city resting between mountains. A place full of history, resilience, and beauty.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a bold reimagining of the astonishing true story of two sisters in nineteenth-century North Carolina — Kline’s own distant relatives — who married the world-famous conjoined twins from Siam.
It’s intimate. Complex. A little wild in the best way.

Art: Dan Funderburgh 

Working with Dan was genuinely a dream. He understood the tone immediately — romantic, historic, slightly strange — and brought so much nuance to it. And the toile endpapers? I’m obsessed. They add this quiet depth that makes the whole object feel layered and special.

HELLO, LIMERENCE — Momo Yamaguchi (out Aug 18, 2026) 💘
For fans of Asako Yuzuki + Fleabag: a fearless debut following an overworked young woman in Tokyo as she careens through lust, obsession, and delusion—and tries to pull herself back.

Illustrated by the brilliant Manshen Lo — I loved working with her on this. She’s sharp, thoughtful, and so talented, and the entire process was genuinely a joy. I’m really proud of where we landed.
