Thomas King withdraws next novel from publication after revelation he is not part Cherokee

November 25, 2025

Thomas King has withdrawn a coming novel from publication after revelations that the author, who has explored themes of racism and isolation through decades of storytelling and scholarship, is not part Cherokee.

StarBright, which had a planned publication date of May, 2026, would have been the ninth instalment in a mystery series about a Cherokee ex-cop. HarperCollins Canada has accepted Mr. King’s decision and will cancel the book’s release, the publisher said Tuesday.
