Featured Book

We Burned So Bright
A heart-wrenching standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, We Burned So Bright follows an elder gay couple on an end-of-the-world road-trip. The road stretched out before them. No other cars, just the headlights on the blacktop. Above, the cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky…. Husbands Don and Rodney have lived a good long life. Together they’ve experienced the highest highs of love and family, and lows so low that they felt like the end of the world. Now, the world is ending for real. A rogue black hole is coming for Earth and in a month everything and everyone they’ve ever known will be gone. Suddenly, after 40 years together, Don and Rodney are out of time. They’re in a race against the clock to make it from Maine to Washington State to take care of some unfinished business before it’s all over. On the road they meet those who refuse to believe death is coming and those who rush to meet it. But there are also people living their final days as best they know how—impromptu weddings, bright burning bonfires, shared meals, and new friends. And as the black hole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough. Is it enough to burn bright if nothing comes from the ashes?

In Conversation With
Kirt Graves
After 15 years of empowering young people to find their voices through drama, poetry, and literature as an award-winning speech and debate coach, Kirt Graves found his own voice as an audiobook narrator. He brings clarity, empathy, and humor to stories spanning dystopian sci-fi, urban & high fantasy, contemporary romance, and young adult fiction. As an adult with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD, Kirt hopes to destigmatize mental health disorders and neurodiversity by reframing atypical thinking as a superpower rather than a disability. He is an advocate for the inclusive casting of human narrators in audiobooks. Off-mic, Kirt is a graphic artist, political junkie, DIY enthusiast, and theater director. He lives with his husband and two dogs in Wisconsin.
