'Blood Sugar, Sex, Magic' is award-winning poet Sarah James’s exploration of 40 years living with type one diabetes, a life-threatening autoimmune condition that is now treatable, but remains incurable. The collection tracks her personal journey from diagnosis, age six, to adulthood, including the high and the low points, as well as the further long-term health risks lurking in the background. These are poems of pain, but also of love and beauty, taking in motherhood, aging and establishing self-identity in a constantly updating world. The route to some kind of acceptance and belonging may be troubled by ‘trying to escape’ but it also ‘holds | more light than your eye | will ever know’.

Glamorous and suspenseful. -Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author
of The Only Woman in the Room and The Mitford AffairPerhaps the best place in
1943 Hollywood to see the stars is the Hollywood Canteen, a club for
servicemen staffed exclusively by those in show business. Murder mystery
playwright Annie Laurence, new in town after a devastating breakup, definitely
hopes to rub elbows with the right stars. Maybe then she can get her movie
made.But Hollywood proves to be more than tinsel and glamour. When despised
film critic Fiona Farris is found dead in the Canteen kitchen, Annie realizes
any one of the Canteen's luminous volunteers could be guilty of the crime. To
catch the killer, Annie falls in with Fiona's friends, a bitter and cynical
group-each as uniquely unhappy in their life and career as Annie is in hers-
that call themselves the Ambassador's Club.Solving a murder in real life, it
turns out, is a lot harder than writing one for the stage. And by involving
herself in the secrets and lies of the Ambassador's Club, Annie just might
have put a target on her own back.This vibrant, utterly delightful mystery
expertly captures the drama, glamour and absurdity of wartime Hollywood. Sarah
James's swift dialogue, dry wit and clever characters transport you into a
1940s movie, where the jokes are quick, the love affairs scandalous and the
cast as charming as they are flawed. Underneath it all, James's deep knowledge
of the era's movies and music lends an authenticity that makes the rest shine
even brighter. I laughed, I gasped and I never wanted it to end. This should
head straight to the top of every must-read list. -Brianna Labuskes, author of
The Librarian of Burned Books
