Jemisin’s new novel, The Killing Moon (US | UK | ANZ) will be out in May, followed by its sequel The Shadowed Sun in June.
Which if they are her usual quality will lead to a situation where both could plausibly be Hugo nominees and they could potentially split the vote and fall short of the necessary number needed to make the ballot [1].
1: The Hugos themselves use Australian voting but the nominations are, I think, a flat count so it is possible for two strong books from one author to end up costing both books the nomination. Although I don’t think it’s impossible she could get two books on the ballot; that would cause some interesting discussions.
