Magic for Liars
Sarah Gailey
Ivy Gamble has never wanted to be magic. She is perfectly happy with her life life—she has an almost-sustainable career as a private investigator, and an empty apartment, and a slight drinking problem. It's a great life and she doesn't wish she was like her estranged sister, the magically gifted professor Tabitha.
But when Ivy is hired to investigate the gruesome murder of a faculty member at Tabitha’s private academy, the stalwart detective starts to lose herself in the case, the life she could have had, and the answer to the mystery that seems just out of her reach.
Upright Women Wanted
Sarah Gailey
In Upright Women Wanted, award-winning author Sarah Gailey reinvents the pulp Western with an explicitly antifascist, near-future story of queer identity.“That girl’s got more wrong notions than a barn owl’s got mean looks.”Esther is a stowaway. She’s hidden herself away in the Librarian’s book wagon in an attempt to escape the marriage her father has arranged for her—a marriage to the man who was previously engaged to her best friend. Her best friend who she was in love with. Her best friend who was just executed for possession of resistance propaganda. The future American Southwest is full of bandits, fascists, and queer librarian spies on horseback trying to do the right thing.
The Echo Wife

It took me so long to hate him.

I Swim Up From Below
Sarah Gailey
When We Were Magic
Sarah Gailey
A moving, darkly funny novel about four teens whose magic goes wildly awry from Magic for Liars author Sarah Gailey, who Chuck Wendig calls an “author to watch.” Keeping your magic a secret is hard. Being in love with your best friend is harder. Alexis has always been able to rely on two things: her best friends, and the magic powers they all share. Their secret is what brought them together, and their love for each other is unshakeable—even when that love is complicated. Complicated by problems like jealousy, or insecurity, or lust. Or love. That unshakeable, complicated love is one of the only things that doesn't change on prom night. When accidental magic goes sideways and a boy winds up dead, Alexis and her friends come together to try to right a terrible wrong. Their first attempt fails—and their second attempt fails even harder. Left with the remains of their failed spells and more consequences than anyone could have predicted, each of them must find a way to live with their part of the story.

The B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog presents an original short story by Hugo Award nominee Sarah Gailey.
A Victorian comedy of manners: Androids, bad clams, bad men, and one ambitious kitchen girl.
Nadia is having a disastrous evening. Dinner simply did not go as planned: Isaac had not taken the news of her engagement well, and depositing him in a tub full of ice had done nothing to restart his overheated processors. Her beautiful dress was covered in blood. And now, she was feeling very warm herself. If only she could cool down, plug in, and recharge her systems...
Stephen is having a dreadful evening. That stuffy old Isaac had balked when Nadia told him of their engagement. And now, he wasn't feeling too well himself. Shouldn't have eaten so many damn oysters...
Ada is having an interesting evening. Miss Nadia is acting strangely, and Mr. Isaac appears none too well. She doesn't trust that Mr. Stephen, but if she plays things right, she might just make her way out of the kitchen and into a higher station. The one she deserves.
