The Well-Tempered Violinist

by Barbara T. Carlton

Marthe Adler dreams of making history as a great violinist. But in 1905 Germany, tradition and deep-seated prejudice against women musicians stand in her way. To make matters worse, her beloved father’s sudden death shatters her family’s comfortable life, pushing them to the edge of poverty.

But the violin Marthe’s father left her is a constant reminder of the profound bond between them, and it gives her the strength to begin healing. When the Köln Conservatory offers her an unexpected scholarship, she seizes her chance to reach for excellence.

Under the rigorous tutelage of Professorin Wolff, and subjected to predatory harassment by a fellow student determined to destroy both her self-worth and her chances of success, Marthe quickly learns she will need more than motivation and talent to rise to the top.

Filled with heart, wit, and music, The Well-Tempered Violinist is an enduring coming-of-age tale about an artist striving for greatness against enormous odds. by @acornpublishing

We are thrilled to introduce you to the newest Acorn author, Zohreh Ghahremani ! Her novel, “Under the Pomegranate Tree,” will be available February 18th.

Book Blurb 📚

When an accident suddenly renders Banoo and her brother Yosef orphans, they are sent to work at a wealthy household in the city of Mashad. In the mansion’s basement, among servants and caretakers who become her family, Banoo discovers a world she never knew existed and begins to want things she was never supposed to have.

But the Shah’s Iran is shifting faster than anyone expected. As secret police tighten their grip and revolution moves through the streets, Yosef is pulled toward forces Banoo cannot follow. She is left to navigate a country rewriting its rules for women overnight, a found family doing its best to hold together, and the unexamined truth of how her parents really died.

Told through the interweaving perspectives of Banoo, Yosef, and the people caught between them, “Under the Pomegranate Tree” is a rare portrait of the Iranian Revolution from the inside. This is not the story of the elite, but of the working class and those who stayed and lived with what followed. At its heart, it asks a question that outlasts any regime: When does a woman begin making her own decisions?

We are so excited to announce the release of BLOODLINE OF EVIL, the debut novel by Vince Nesci. Get your very own copy of this fast-paced thriller now!

📚 Book Description

In a wealthy enclave on the Hudson, a dark secret is waiting to explode.

Dobbs Ferry has never seen a murder—until the brutal slaying of a prominent local woman rips through the community’s privileged veneer.

The case is offered to George Luzzo, a seasoned detective coping with a divorce and a gnawing sense that his best years are behind him. George thought he knew his neighbors, but he soon discovers that the victim is no ordinary suburban housewife—she’s the stepdaughter of a fentanyl kingpin, and her death begins to unravel an international ring of corrupt politicians and cartel traffickers.

This is George’s chance to prove he’s still relevant. He teams up with Kara Meyer, an assistant district attorney whose background is full of surprises. Chemistry sparks between them as they dig ever deeper into a rabbit hole of deception, revenge, and ambition.

With bodies piling up, the case draws the eye of the US president, along with shadowy players whose idea of justice isn’t exactly legal. If their covert op goes wrong, George and Kara will lose everything—their careers, their freedoms, maybe even their lives. But if they walk away, so do the killers.

As national security teeters in the balance, George and Kara face a stark choice: Just how much will they risk to stop evil?

We are excited to reveal the cover of SHE STEERS THE FATES by Drew Rivetty (@drewrivetty)! This action-paced ancient fiction novel will be released in February 2027.

📚Book Description:
Her name means “fighter of men,” but after Greek raiders destroy her village, Andromache is left with little desire to fight for anything.

Seeking refuge in Troy, she is promised to a royal prince, but grief, anger, and the scars of her past make her an outsider in a city that expects her gratitude and obedience. Only Horn Blower, a wild and untamable horse with a terrifying cry and a spirit as wounded as her own, recognizes the strength she has forgotten.

As Andromache and Horn Blower forge an unbreakable bond, she begins to find her place within the legendary city of Troy. But the gods have already written Troy’s fate. The war is coming. The horse will enter the gates. The city will burn.

Unless one woman dares to challenge destiny itself.

She Steers the Fates reimagines the fall of Troy through the eyes of the woman who refused to let history be written in ashes.

We are thrilled to reveal the cover of The Sunrise Swimmers Soirée by Lisa Crawford Watson! This beautiful memoir will be released in February 2027.

☀️ Book Description ☀️

As a little girl, Lisa Crawford Watson was certain of two things: water was dangerous, and her twin sister was the brave one. A terrifying swimming lesson and her sister’s near-drowning incident left Lisa convinced she would never feel safe in the water.

Yet the very place she feared most became the setting for some of her greatest personal triumphs.

Over the years, Lisa transformed from an anxious child standing at the pool’s edge into a devoted swimmer who discovered that the true rewards of the sport had little to do with medals or competition. Through early-morning laps, life’s setbacks, family challenges, loss, and self-doubt, she found resilience, purpose, and an unexpected sense of home.

Then she did something even more surprising: she invited swimmers out of the water. What began as a simple gathering evolved into the Sunrise Swimmers Soirée, a vibrant community where friendships deepened, stories were shared, and solitary athletes discovered they didn’t have to navigate life alone.

The Sunrise Swimmers Soirée is a coming-of-age story told across a lifetime. It celebrates the people who swim beside us, the connections that sustain us, and the extraordinary possibilities waiting on the other side of our deepest fears.

We are thrilled to announce the release of “Almost There” by Jean Seager. This beautiful collection of stories is sure to leave a lasting impact on all who read it. Get your copy now!

Book Blurb 📚

Almost There offers an intimate, emotionally resonant portrait of the Jewish immigrant experience in early twentieth-century America. This collection of linked short stories follows individuals who faced the uncertainty of a new land, summoned the courage to navigate unfamiliar cultures, and endured the antisemitism that shaped their world.

While fictionalized, these narratives were inspired by interviews with Americans who shared memories of their immigrant ancestors. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of sweeping historical events, such as the Great Depression, World War II, the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel.

Poignant and powerful, Almost There illuminates a pivotal chapter in American history and speaks to the timeless search for belonging, identity, and home.

We are excited to introduce you to our newest Acorn author, Jody Tucker! Her upcoming memoir, BE A ROSIE: RISING THROUGH THE THORNS, will be released in February 2027.

📚 Book Description
Rosie Tucker was the kind of kid who snuck candy to classmates, sat with the new kid at lunch, and held a sloth in the Amazon for ten full minutes because she simply could not let go. She was twelve years old, vibrant, compassionate, and deeply loved, with an Africa trip planned for the end of summer.

But that June, her mother Jody Tucker was living a reality she never saw coming.

Be A Rosie is Jody's first-hand account of loving so deeply, losing so profoundly, and finding a way to keep living when the unimaginable happens. From the joy of a life lived fully to the long, impossible week at the children's hospital, it follows one family through heartbreak and the grueling, disorienting work of finding hope again. Told with unfiltered honesty and an open heart, it is a tribute to a daughter whose kindness continues to change lives, and an invitation to leave the world a little better than you found it.

📸 And the winner is…

We asked our authors to capture a little of the magic from our first annual Acorn Publishing Writers Retreat at Asilomar, and this beautiful sunset moment stole our hearts. 🌅

Congratulations to Acorn author Tammy Tollner Pancheri, winner of our retreat photo contest! A little celebration package is headed her way, including an Acorn Publishing sweatshirt and a beautiful Asilomar journal for whatever she’s inspired to write next. 💛

Our first annual retreat was everything we hoped it would be: mystical, dreamy, inspiring, and so much fun. We shared meals, morning meditation, reiki, sunset walks by the ocean, meaningful conversations, and, of course, lots and lots of writing.

But what made the weekend truly special were the writers who joined us. This photo feels like the perfect reflection of that experience: a group of authors walking together into a gorgeous Asilomar sunset.

Tammy’s memoir, When the Wine Stopped Working, releases February 23, 2027, and we can’t wait to share more about her and her story as publication day approaches.

Congratulations, Tammy! And thank you to everyone who made our very first Acorn Writers Retreat so memorable. 💛
