THE VAGINA BUSINESS by Marina Gerner, PODKIN AND THE TENTACLED TERROR by Kieran Larwood, and THE LIGHT THIEVES AND THE TERRIFYING DAWN by Helena Duggan are all now published!

16 September 2024

We’ve had an extremely busy publishing week here at The Blair Partnership. Three books were published (and on the same day, at that!) and all are brilliant in their own way. First we have a non-fiction debut, THE VAGINA BUSINESS by Marina Gerner, and then we have two new childrens’ books belonging to two beloved series: PODKIN AND THE TENTACLED TERROR by Kieran Larwood and THE LIGHT THIEVES AND THE TERRIFYING DAWN by Helena Duggan. More on these books below:

The Vagina Business by Marina Gerner

From periods and childbirth to menopause, female pain has been normalized, as society shrugs and says ‘welcome to being a woman’ instead of coming up with better solutions. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In The Vagina Business, award-winning journalist Marina Gerner takes an eye-opening look at the innovators challenging the status quo to deliver the healthcare solutions women need.

With interviews from 100 entrepreneurs, researchers and investors across 15 countries, The Vagina Business explores the future of women’s health, where female-focused companies are developing products to help women at every stage of life. From a life-saving bra to non-hormonal contraception and new takes on fertility and menopause, it shines a light on innovation that matters. Women should not be denied solutions to health issues just because people are embarrassed to talk about vaginas. We deserve much better.

Podkin and the Tentacled Terror by Kieran Larwood

After claiming the Singing Spear, Podkin heads to the sea to search out the last gift of all – the anvil of Magmarok – which is hidden inside a mysterious labyrinth. He must brave Ancient sea monsters and pirates to arrive at the city that houses the anvil before Scramashank and his Gorm. But what will it take to defeat the labyrinth and win the anvil? And what will happen when the Gifts finally gather in one place?

Another rip roaring adventure, exquisitely illustrated with full page artwork from the leading fantasy illustrator of our age, David Wyatt.

The Light Thieves and the Terrifying Dawn by Helena Duggan

URGENT!

People now know that the sun is being stolen by tech-billionaire Howard Hansom.

The only person who can stop him is the mysterious White Rose. She must keep her identity a secret, so she’s been sending out coded letters. Each of these letters leads to a separate piece of a larger puzzle that when solved could save the sun. Young heroes Grian, Shelli and Jeffrey have tracked the White Rose to the city of Quantum. But can they find her before the sun is extinguished?

Join them on the treasure hunt of a lifetime!
