Savannah Brown

Sydney's dad is the only psychiatrist for miles around their small Ohio town. He is also unexpectedly dead. Is Sydney crazy, or is it kind of weird that her dad - a guy whose entire job revolved around other peoples' secrets - crashed alone, with no explanation? And why is June Copeland, homecoming queen and the town's golden child, at his funeral? As the two teenagers grow closer in the wake of the accident, it's clear that not everyone is happy about their new friendship. But what is picture perfect June still hiding? And does Sydney even want to know? The Truth About Keeping Secrets is a page turning, voice led, high school thriller.

The Truth about Keeping Secrets

"The year is 1987 and the sleepy village of Sandown Bay is waking up . . ." To its residents, Sandown is home - a tiny village holiday resort in the western United States. To everyone else, it's a minuscule island, that brings tourists in summer and not a lot else the rest of the time. To Mona Perry, it's a mystery. Thirty-four years ago, promising singer and Sandown resident Roxy Raines went missing, and was never found. The people of the island are still reluctant to talk about it, claiming Roxy was simply a runaway, but the evidence doesn't quite add up. Mona is convinced something else is going on. Armed only with a suitcase and a microphone - to record her findings for the general public - this runaway teenager is determined to get to the bottom of the disappearance. But as Mona gets drawn deeper and deeper into the strange goings on of this isolated community, it is clear that nothing is as it seems - not even Mona's own past. Some things are meant to disappear . . .

How to Disappear

"These are poems about growing up budding & grappling & shedding; about how wonderful it feels & how deeply it aches"--Page 4 of cover.

(and Other Poems)

Graffiti

In this dazzling third collection, poet Savannah Brown holds a magnifying glass to modern intimacy with a lens that burns as often as it illuminates. Moths, ex-lovers, Jeff Bezos, and other supernatural creatures flit through the pages as Brown charts her own cartographies through London and the world wide web seething in everybody's pocket. These poems pinch and pull through the smallest moments, like someone trying to zoom in on a smartphone photo, or someone in the thrall of a bad, bad habit.

Closer Baby Closer

'A beautifully written mystery with a host of fascinating characters' Vincent Ralph, author of Are You Watching? 'A propulsive mystery driven by beautifully raw narration . . . Brown's prose reads like a live wire.' Rory Power, author of Wilder Girls --- Over thirty years ago, young and promising singer Roxy Raines disappeared. The people of her hometown, the tiny island resort of Sandown, are reluctant to talk about it, proclaiming Roxy as a runaway. Seventeen-year-old Mona Perry is convinced there's something more sinister at play. Armed only with a suitcase and a microphone - to record her findings for her podcast's listeners - this runaway teenager has one hot summer to get to the bottom of the disappearance. But as Mona gets drawn deeper and deeper into the strange goings on of this isolated community, it is clear that nothing is as it seems - least of all Mona's own past . . .

The Things We Don't See

A brooding, atmospheric novel about the mysterious vanishing of a singer from a remote island, and the teenage runaway determined to uncover the truth. When promising young singer Roxy Raines vanishes from the tiny resort of Sandown, the island locals refuse to speak about it to anyone they deem outsiders, instead proclaiming Roxy a teenage runaway. Thirty years later, seventeen-year-old Mona Perry comes to the island resolute in her search for the real reason behind Roxy's disappearance. Armed with a suitcase and a microphone, Mona only has one hot summer to get to the bottom of Roxy's story and record it all for her podcast and fans. But as Mona gets drawn deeper into the strange, isolated community, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems—least of all Mona's own past and the disappearance of someone close to her.
