My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

My weird girl lit novel got a STARRED REVIEW in Publishers Weekly! 🤩 "Using aliens to explore alienation, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT brilliantly turns abduction narratives on their heads. Piper continues to outdo herself.“ out October 27 from Saga! 🛸 www.publishersweekly.com/9781668077122

She Isn’t Herself Tonight
Hailey Piper. Saga, $18 trade paper (256p) ISBN 978-1-6680-7712-2
The latest foray into supernatural horror from Bram Stoker award winner Piper (A Game in Yellow) offers an enthralling twist on the classic alien abduction plot. At age 30, Rabbit (a reclaimed childhood nickname) is eagerly awaiting the return of the aliens, or “Guests,” as she refers to them, that first came for her at age 10 and then again at age 20. She has never felt truly understood, not by her mother, who paraded her around local churches as a child to tell the story of her first abduction—substituting the aliens for angels—nor her recent ex-boyfriend, Leo, who accused her of being “too much work.” As she reels from the breakup, she takes comfort in knowing that the “Guests,” the only ones who have ever made her feel safe and cared for, will be returning soon. Piper mines a lot of tension from Rabbit’s yearning for her abductors, making readers just as anxious for their arrival as Rabbit herself, even as, in the meantime, Rabbit’s body undergoes a mysterious, possibly extraterrestrial transformation. Using aliens to explore alienation, this brilliantly turns abduction narratives on their heads. Piper continues to outdo herself. Agent: Lane Heymont, Tobias Literary. (Oct.)
