Sneak Peak at Signature’s Forthcoming Books

Signature Books Podcast

In this episode, Signature marketing manager Devery Anderson talks with director Barbara Jones Brown and marketing specialist Beth Brumer-Reeve about our forthcoming titles over the next several months.

Seven books will be released during the first half of 2024. First are two volumes of poetry, Maurine Clark’s This Insatiable August and Darlene Young’s Count Me In, superb additions to our catalog. An anthology edited by Cheryl L. Bruno, Secret Covenants: New Insights on Early Mormon Polygamy, contains twelve new essays on the Nauvoo era, shedding more light on this period of early Latter-day Saint marriage practices. We are thrilled that Richard D. Hanks is publishing the first biography of his father, titled To Be a Friend of Christ: The Life of Marion D. Hanks. Hanks served as an LDS general authority for forty years in the latter half of the twentieth century. Kerry Spencer Pray is editor of The Book of Queer Mormon Joy, an anthology featuring stories of joy from dozens of essayists across the LGBTQ spectrum. Joseph Geisner is back with the second volume of Signature’s Writing Mormon History series, in which authors tell the fascinating backstories behind their published historical works, all of which are fascinating. Devery Anderson will contribute the seventh volume in our brief Mormon biographies series with Bruce R. McConkie: Apostle and Polemicist. McConkie’s writings, sermons, and teachings won him many friends and not a few critics.
