CICADAS SING OF SUMMER GRAVES
Tag line: At turns haunting and breathtaking, CICADAS SING OF SUMMER GRAVES explores legacies of love, family, and the ghostly imprint grief leaves behind as three women face the past to bring light to an old Southern town lost deep beneath the surface.
About CICADAS SING OF SUMMER GRAVES: Years ago, yellow fever gripped the small lakeside town of Prosper, Arkansas. At the height of that summer swelter, in the wake of an unexpected storm, the dam failed and the valley flooded―drowning the town and everyone trapped inside.
The secrets of old Prosper drowned with them.
Now, decades later, when a mysterious locked box is pulled from the depths of the lake, three descendants of that long-ago tragedy are hurled into another feverish summer. Cassie: the reclusive sole witness to an impossible horror no one believes. Lark: a wide-eyed dreamer haunted by bizarre visions. June: caught between longing for a fresh start and bearing witness to the ghosts of the past. Bound together, all three must contend with their home's complex history―and with the ruins of the town lost far beneath the troubled water.
About the author: Quinn Connor is one pen in two hands: Robyn Barrow and Alexandra Cronin. An Arkansan and a Texan, when they aren’t writing, they’re arguing about the differences between queso and cheese dip. Both writers from young ages, Robyn and Alexandra met in college and together developed their unique co-writing voice. They are very thankful that no matter what, there’s always one other person in the world who cares about their characters as much as they do.
Robyn recently earned her Doctorate at The University of Pennsylvania, where she lives with her cat/dust bunny Theo. When she isn’t enjoying free wine at lectures, or researching abroad, she spends her days happily poring over medieval manuscripts. Meanwhile, Alexandra suffers in the North Texas heat, where she is not paid to study anywhere, but is the senior editor at a local magazine, where she is a Swiss-army writer asking both low and high stakes questions, from reviewing cupcakes, to longform political and true crime articles. Unless Robyn is walking a pilgrimage across Spain, or Alex is not paying attention to her phone, they write every day. It’s their preferred form of conversation.

Praise for CICADAS SING OF SUMMER GRAVES:
“Cicadas Sing of Summer Graves is pure alchemy—it breathes in a mystery and exhales magic. In Prosper, Arkansas, up is down, history is alive, fantasy is reality, grief becomes horror becomes salvation. I loved getting sucked into the slow, sticky Southern summer with these rich characters, watching helplessly as they struggle with love and loss and legacy while the past haunts them at every turn.” – Eden Robins, author of When Franny Stands Up
“Readers should prepare themselves to get lost in a dreamy, lush narrative, riddled with stirring subterfuge, captivating characters, and a visceral sense of place. Cicadas Sing of Summer Graves is a lyrical swarm of history, friendship, tragedy, and the limitlessness of reality. June, Lark, and Cassie are like sirens calling from a distant shore luring the reader further and further into the depths of understanding. You won't be able to put it down.” – Lo Patrick, author of The Floating Girls
“Eerie and deeply atmospheric, Cicadas Sing of Summer Graves immediately transported me to a hot, sticky lakeside summer, where the story wrapped around me, pulled me under, and wouldn't let go.” – Nichelle Giraldes, author of No Child of Mine
“A liquid southern Gothic that laps against the land of the living until old secrets that can’t be washed away are revealed. Seductive, haunting and beautiful.” – Willa Reece, author of Wildwood Whispers
“[T]he atmosphere, the imagery and the sense of setting and place are phenomenal. Heat swelters of these pages and this entire read feels like an oppressively clammy July-day with the thickness of a thunderstorm weighing down the air. The authors have a beautifully descriptive narrative voice and a keen eye for striking scenes and setting….With ideas and a stunning talent for language and writing, I cannot wait to see what this author duo produces in the future.” – The Fictionfox
