THE FAMILY COMPOUND by Liz Parker: Virtual Book Tour – Aug. 22 to Sept. 23rd!

“The drama is richly realized and believable in its messiness. The result is an excruciatingly realistic portrayal of the power of family to infuriate and hearten.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Siblings and cousins are locked together via a delightfully gossipy collision of motivations in this page-turning tale of a dysfunctional family! The Family Compound will vividly transport you to idyllic Vermont, yet is also perfect for fans of Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s The Nest.”

—Suzanne Rindell, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Typist

“Funny and instantly absorbing. Parker skillfully weaves the fragile highs and lows of growing up and finding yourself at any age and explores the complex meaning of family when the next generation inherits the responsibility to keep it together.” 

—Amanda Pellegrino, author of Smile and Look Pretty

“This poignant tale of a family at a crossroads highlights how the legacies we inherit shape us. The Family Compound’s intricately crafted characters and simmering intensity will take you on an unforgettable journey to the mountains of Vermont.” 

—Susie Dumond, author of Queerly Beloved

Last year, powerhouse literary agent Liz Parker launched her writing career with ALL ARE WELCOME, a novel Oprah Daily called one of “the best books of August 2021…a tender, funny, wise debut novel,” and Entertainment Tonight hailed as “one of the most anticipated LGBTQ books of 2021.”

Now, in THE FAMILY COMPOUND (Lake Union Publishing; August 23, 2022; $14.95), Liz Parker returns with a tender, perceptive, and relentlessly entertaining story of five cousins who despite their different life circumstances must band together to decide their collective future.

We have an extra special line-up of bloggers who will be posting cool content on behalf of THE FAMILY COMPOUND, starting on August 22nd and running through September 23rd! Be sure to follow along daily so you don’t miss the exclusive reviews, excerpts and giveaways galore!

September 2021 Virtual Tour for Bestselling Author Trisha Thomas’ New Historical Fiction, WHAT PASSES AS LOVE

We’re excited to announce this terrific lineup of bloggers who will join us in celebrating the release of Trisha Thomas’ new historical novel, WHAT PASSES AS LOVE! This heartrending and breathtaking novel is about a young woman who pays a devastating price for freedom. We hope you will follow along as we share reviews, features, Q&A, excerpts, and book giveaways.

“Thomas’ well-researched and compelling novel charts Dahlia’s complex journey of escape, reinvention and self-acceptance. Fans of Alena Dillon and Lucinda Riley will be moved by this historical glimpse into a brutal time period. Not shying away from the cruelties of slavery, Thomas gives a voice to the enslaved by exploring the power of shared humanity and newfound courage.” – Booklist

“The author really gets inside Dahlia’s head, creating a protagonist who knows how to make the best of a bad situation and who constantly puzzles over the enigma of being neither Black nor white, a girl caught in the middle. She’s resourceful, a chance-taker who dreams and schemes until opportunities present themselves. It’s impossible not to root for her, however risky her actions.” – Historical Novel Society
