February is also Black History Month, a time to honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black individuals past and present. At Blue Dasher Press, we are deeply committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging. We are proud to publish stage plays that celebrate Black voices and Black lives, including
False Hopes,
I Bet She Has a Party to Go To,
A Rum Cake for Rita,
Sky Lines, and
Tagged. These works continue to inspire, challenge, and illuminate the many facets of the Black experience.
This month, we’ve had some exciting new releases! Our latest offerings include:
Just Forget the World (Short Story) – Grieving over the loss of loved ones, Naomi and Dominic find a deep connection while spending time together in a cemetery.
Homecomings (Short Play) – In a small-town laundromat, two former high school rivals come face-to-face for the first time in over forty years.
Love in the Shadows (Novel) – Quintin Pearson, an American magazine staff writer in London, finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue after an ambassador’s assassination. In the darkness, he meets Luca, a mysterious Italian spy, and the two form an undeniable connection as they work to uncover the truth.
We’re also thrilled to announce that our short play
I Bet She Has a Party to Go To has been selected for inclusion in
The Best 10-Minute Plays of 2025, published by Smith & Kraus and edited by Debbie Lamedman. This powerful play follows three women who, after watching a beautiful, free-spirited woman roller skate through a city park, confront their own resentment and assumptions about her seemingly carefree life.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the upcoming release of the supernatural young adult novel
Wonder Land. Following the loss of her mother, fifteen-year-old Destiny Moore moves to Avalon Cove, a mysterious island in South Carolina. There, she forms close bonds with two fellow outsiders and is drawn to the enigmatic world of Wonder Land, a former boarding house with secrets waiting to be uncovered. A story of love, loss, and discovery,
Wonder Land will be available exclusively on Kindle Unlimited beginning February 18.
As always, we are grateful for our readers, writers, and the entire Blue Dasher Press community. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing more incredible stories with you in the months ahead!
Happy reading!
