Author debut in second half of 2024
 A debut is the first book published by a specific author.

For this prompt, we’re looking for a book that is an author’s debut work. The catch? We want it to be published in the second half of 2024. This means that the book should be published between July 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

It can be published by any debut author, and in any genre. Creative interpretations on a “debut” include: An author who has previously written non-fiction, and is debuting in fiction, or an author who was previously self-published but is now releasing their first novel published traditionally, etc.
