🔮✨ We are absolutely enchanted to carry “Dream Keeper,” the debut novel from Montana author Julie Pope Petrou 🔮✨

When Andrea purchases an enchanted amulet and receives a mysterious Tarot reading, she is suddenly ripped from everything she knows and thrust into 1798 — a world of danger, unexpected friendship, and history unfolding around her. A sweeping blend of time travel, romance, and mystery, “Dream Keeper” pulls readers deep into colonial life as one young woman discovers her purpose across the centuries. This is the first book in a series.

Julie writes from the heart, drawing inspiration from her view of the Rocky Mountains landscape and culture that surround her.

🐺📖 We are thrilled to carry the debut novel from author Dan Bozinov, “VUK” 🐺📖

When a young New Yorker inherits his late father's massive, unruly dog and a mysterious journal, he uncovers the long-forgotten story of his great-grandfather's life under the late Ottoman Empire, who lived alongside an extraordinary dog whose fearless spirit conquered beasts, mountains, and men. Spanning nearly a century, this sweeping tale of adventure, loyalty, and the threads that bind generations is an epic nearly lost to time. Until now.

Dan is an Eastern European immigrant, physician, and computer scientist, whose debut novel is as grounded in history and lineage.
