BEA is about the future: the

books that publishers are
presenting, authors are
signing, and booksellers
and librarians are noting
for the upcoming seasons.
This year, as always, we
walked the aisles to ask our
favorite folks in the know
what upcoming books they
are excited about. The two
novels we heard about the
most were Jonathan
Franzens Purity (FSG, Sept.)
and Garth Risk Hallbergs
City on Fire (Knopf, Oct.).
Cathy Langer, buyer for
the Tattered Cover, in Denver, joins the crowd with
raves for Purity, and City on
Fire, which she says she
loved. It blew me away. Its
brilliant. Langer is excited,
too, for Dan Marshalls
Home Is Burning (Flatiron
Books, Oct.).
Joshua Jason of Mystery
Pier Books in West Hollywood, Calif., chimed in with
praise for Franzen, saying,
Hes really marvelous. He
also noted, Im really anxious to read City of Fire. He
also casts a vote for The
Blue Between Sea and Sky,
by Susan Abulhawa
(Bloomsbury, Sept.): Its set
in Gaza. I love this book. Its
beautiful.
Books & Books buyer
Joanna Clarke is excited
about City on Fire, of
course, and says, The editor really sold it. Shes also
jazzed about The Fall of
Princes, by Robert Goolrick
(Algonquin, Aug.), and
mentions memoirs by
musicians: Patti Smiths
new memoir, The M Train
(Knopf, October), and Elvis
Costellos memoir, Unfaithful Music and Disappearing
Ink (Blue Rider, Oct.).
Becky Anderson of
STEVEKAGAN.COM
Books by Franzen, Hallberg

Among Most Talked About
Andersons Bookshop in
Naperville, Ill., echoed
Clarkes sentiments, especially when it came to Goolrick and Costello. The Fall
of Princes is so beautifully
written, she said. His
books stay with you for a
long time. We cannot wait

to sell it. We are so excited
about it. As for Elvis
Costellos memoir, Anderson says its the first memoir by a musician shes
wanted to read. Anderson
noted that hes got a
unique perspective on
the U.K. music scene and
he has insights she hasnt
perceived from other musicians. He goes deeper,
she says, than the typical
memoir by a pop culture
figure.
The head buyer for
Kramerbooks & Afterwords, in Washington, D.C.,
Jake Cumsky-Whitlock, is
looking forward this fall to
Undermajordomo Minor, by
Patrick DeWitt (Ecco,Sept.).
A M E R I C A
We are great admirers of

DeWitts The Sisters Brothers
here at Kramerbooks,
Cumsky-Whitlock said, and
have hand-sold hundreds of
copies of that nouveau western. His forthcoming novel
trades gold rush era California for the mountains of
Central Europe, where
young Lucien Minor has
arrived to assume his post as
undermajordomo at the
Castle Von Aux. Undermajordomo Minor has all the
As booksellers, librarians,
and publishers descended
on the Javits Center for the
first full day of BookExpo
America, there was strong
early interest across all age
ranges and genres, including adult books with YA
crossover and vice versa.

Its extraordinary.

Patterson Debuts New Childrens Imprint
Authors Guild Announces

Fair Contract Initiative
Clare Swanson
Little, Brown has big news to share

with booksellers at BEA. This morning, the publisher announced the
launch of James Pattersons childrens book imprint, called jimmy
patterson. The new line, which will
include books written by Patterson
as well as other authors, reflects
some of Pattersons most heartfelt
goals: to inspire kids to become
willing, self-propelled readers; to
help teachers, booksellers, and
librarians get the tools, opportunities, and skills they need to accomplish that mission; and to identify
the right books for each child by
publishing books that showcase a
compelling diversity of human
voices and experiences.
Pattersons own profits from
sales of jimmy patterson books will
be put toward funding scholarships
for teachers, supporting bookstores
and school libraries, increasing the
reach of the authors website, ReadKiddoRead.com, and distributing
books to children unable to afford
them. Reagan Arthur, Little, Brown
senior v-p and publisher, will oversee the imprint, which will have a

At this years BookExpo America, the Authors

Guild is rolling out its Fair Contract Initiative, a
series of commentaries it will publish in the coming months that take a fresh look at the standard
book publishing contract.
Our guiding principle for this new initiative is
to restore balance to the author-publisher relationship and help authors achieve a fair return for
the efforts they contribute to the joint venture of
book publication, said the Guild in a statement.
These commentaries, which will be published at
authorsguild.org, will first address the major inequities in boilerplate contract terms, and then
move on to educate authors on which terms are
negotiable, according to the Guild.
The group has been distributing its launch
statement at BEA throughout the show.

Mandela Takes Top Honors at Audie Awards

Mandela: An Audio History won the award for Audiobook of the Year, and
Neil Gaimans The Graveyard Book took home the prize for Distinguished
Achievement in Production last night at the 20th annual Audie Awards
Gala in New York City.
Mandela: An Audio Historynarrated by Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, and Joe Richman for Highbridge Audioalso won the award for Original Work, while The Graveyard Book, which was narrated by the author and
a full cast for HarperAudio, also nabbed the awards for Childrens Titles for
Ages 812 and Multi-Voiced Performance.
This years ceremony was hosted by bestselling author Jack Gantos at the
New York Academy of Medicine. Bahni Turpin won the award for Solo NarrationFemale for her reading of Laila Ibrahims Yellow Crocus (Brilliance

The imprint debuts in September
with Treasure Hunters: Secret of the
Forbidden City, co-written by Chris
Grabenstein and illustrated by Juliana Neufeld, the third installment
of this series that follows intrepid
siblings on adventures across the
globe. Five additional titles will be
added to the imprint later in the fall.
Patterson anticipates that the
imprint will release approximately
10 titles annually, half of which he
will write, and that his previously
published books for young readers
will be folded into the new imprint
as they come up for reprint. The

Wednesday afternoon at the Center for Fiction in midtown, NBCC board

member Walton Muyumba led a conversation about racial and gender representation in book reviewing. Panelists included Hawa Allan, a contributing editor at Tricycle magazine; Alexander Chee, a fiction writer and book
reviewer; Miriam Markowitz, deputy literary editor at the Nation; Cate
Marvin, cofounder of Vida: Women in Literary Arts; and Parul Sehgal, an
editor at the New York Times Book Review.
Muyumba began by asking, Does any of this matter?
It matters enormously, Chee responded. Especially with the decline of
book criticism sections and the rise of book blogging, believing it doesnt
matter is part of the problem. Sehgal agreed: When you have book review
sections that are all the same, it [raises the question], who can speak?
Allan argued that with all the blogs, there no longer is a need for bluechip publications to tell [readers] what to read. These publications are going
to have to expand to cater to the public. She cited a Pew Research report
that showed that the fastest-growing book buyer demographic is black college-educated women .
Muyumba asked how established publications can change to include
more diversity in their book reviews. Sehgal gave the example of choosing a
reviewer for Steven Millhausers collection of short stories Voices in the
Night: It could have easily gone to a white male, but instead went to Indian-American novelist Tania James. Shes so good, and she writes about
myths all around the world. She can write about magic.
Markowitz said, We have to see what kinds of books we are assigning
women [to review]. However, she noted, in the end, the masters of the universe are not book reviewers, but publishersand many of the panelists
agreed. Diversity in book reviews is limited by diversity among the types of

list: We will publish middle grade

and YA novels, and Im not sure
that we will get into picture books,
but Im not ruling that out. And
nonfiction is also a possibility.
Pattersons ambitious marketing
and promotional outreach is also
aligned with his goal to make compelling childrens books accessible
to as broad an audience as possible.
We are going try our best to make
connections with other entities,

including the White House, he
says. I would love to hear our president stand up and proudly
announce that, during the last year
or so of his term, he is going to
devote himself to getting kids reading. Patterson also hopes to rally
major players in the retail realm. If
I could wave a wand, I would love to
hear that Amazon is devoting itself
to becoming the savior of reading

across this country, he adds. And
that Walmart and Target are dedicating the book sections of their
stores to the noble task of getting
kids reading better.
Hooking kids on reading,
through such outreach initiatives
and the jimmy patterson books
themselves, will have far-reaching
implications, asserts Patterson: If
we accomplish thatjust thatwe

will dramatically increase the number of kids who finish high school in
this country and thus have a better
chance of going on to college or getting better jobs. We will create a
more informed populace, with better citizens, better voters, better
workers, better parentsbetter
human beings.

Resurgence of Indie Bookselling Continues

At the annual meeting of the American Booksellers Association yesterday,
both CEO Oren Teicher and incoming president Betsy Burton, owner of the
Kings English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, confirmed that indie booksellers
continue to make a comeback.
For the sixth year in a row the number of independent bookstores has
grown. ABA added 48 members, for a total of 1,712, up from a core membership of 1,401 in 2009. The total number of locations also grew, to 2,227, from
1,651 in 2009. Even more impressive, as Teicher pointed out, sales at independent bookstores were up for 47 out of 52 weeks. And despite the brutal
cold and massive snows throughout the Northeast, booksellers managed to
hold on to last years gains for 17 out of the first 19 weeks of this year.
Of course, the localism movement continues to play a role, said Teicher,
explaining the factors that have helped independents grow. He also regards
publishers willingness to rethink outmoded business practices as a key
ingredient.
Earlier in the day, at the ABA Celebration of Bookselling and Author
Awards Luncheon, Teicher credited the seeds of the resurgence to his pre-

Love Incarnate, used a bubble

decessor, Avin Domnitz, and his passionate belief that the best educational
tools would help independent bookstores reinvent themselves. Teicher,
along with several past ABA presidents, presented an award in Domnitzs
honor to Domnitzs wife, Rita.
Challenges still remain. The actions of some publishers, at times, seem
as if they are so focused on the short-term gains of direct sales to consumers
that they lose sight of the much greater potential that comes from directing
those sales to indie bookstores.
Teicher also called on booksellers to keep up with the unending changes
in technology. And he acknowledged that it will take hard work for independent stores to pay employees the living wage they deserve and stay on
top of real estate increases.
Ultimately, Teicher said, I remain optimistic and confident that the best

For E-books in Libraries, Obstacles Remain

A Thursday afternoon panel was officially named The Power of Partnerships, but as moderator Keith Michael Fiels, executive director of the
American Library Association suggested, it should have been called
E-books: The Continuing Saga.
Prices are still too high, and the user experience is badly fragmented,
Fiels said, among a host of additional unresolved issues: Publishers still
feel threatened, and there is a large 500-pound gorilla in the room called
Amazon, Fiels observed, along with issues connected to the rise of self-publishing and user-generated content, ownership vs. subscription, and thorny
preservation issues.
To start, Baker & Taylors Michael Bills noted that publishers seem to be
lobbing models into libraries with abandon, hoping something will make
sense, though often this just leads to confusion. But it was BiblioBoards
Andrew Roskill who took the most direct line of criticism. He noted three
issues that need to be better addressed: sustainability, reaching underserved communities, and improving user experience.
On the user experience side, the bar is no longer set by us, he said, but
by companies like Amazon and Apple. The fact of the matter is that if we
want to have a hope of reaching not the current generation, but the next
generation, we need to do a lot of work in that area.
Representing libraries, Boston Public Librarys Michael Colford, and
Veronda Pitchford, from the Illinois consortium RAILS (Reaching Across
Illinois Library System), offered a more ground-floor view of the situation. I
really want to see something integrated for library patrons, Colford said.
What I dont want is another platform, adding that while he was happy to
buy e-books from anyone, once you hit the discovery, availability, holds
management, checkout, and the bookshelf and reading experienceI want
that to be one thing.

John Grisham is going rogue in more ways

than one with Rogue Lawyer (Doubleday,
Oct. 20). And why not? After all, Rogue Lawyer is Grishams 35th book, his 30th for
adult readersall of which have been New
York Times bestsellers. There are 300 million copies of those 35 books in print in 35
languages. Thus, Grisham can do whatever
he wants to do, especially when it comes to
both writing books and promoting them at
BEA. This year, Grisham is making an official appearance on the show floor for the
first time. Today, 910 a.m., he signs 64-page
booklets containing an excerpt from Rogue
Lawyer at the Penguin Random House
booth (3119).
Rogue Lawyer, which is more episodic
than Grishams trademark legal thrillers
and narrated in the first person (another
break from his tradition), features a
street lawyer named Sebastian Rudd,
who lives life on the edge by taking on
controversial cases that other lawyers
cycle away from as fast as they can. Rudd
is a character that Grisham has wanted to
develop ever since he himself was a street
lawyer, drafting wills and deeds, while
others more fearless than he defended those accused of horrific crimes.
Grishams debut in-booth signing is all the more remarkable, considering how far back and deep he goes with this annual gathering. Grisham,
who first attended what was then called the ABA in 1993, presided over the
premiere of the film adaptation of A Time to Kill during the show in 1996,
and was one of four speakers at the 2010 adult authors breakfast.
Even though he revels in BEAs incredible energy, Grisham typically
doesnt promote his upcoming releases here because of his writing schedule. Usually, he says, hes still finishing up the final draft in late May of
what is scheduled for a fall release. I dont put the finishing touches on a
book until the month of August, he says. But with Rogue Lawyer, the publishing stars were all in alignment: he started writing Rogue Lawyer three
years ago, rather than the six months or so it usually takes for him to
churn out a novel. Its suddenly ready in time for BEA, he says, disclosing
that he sent off the manuscript to Doubleday the same day he spoke to
Show Daily.
Somehow, Rogue Lawyers wayward path to publication fits in a cosmic
way, it being the tale of a man who finds success by totally bucking the system. Sebastian is such a rich character; he sees so much of this side of the
law, Grisham says about someone who may or may not be his own fictional alter ego and whom hes already considering featuring in another
novelyet another departure from tradition, as a main character in a
Grisham adult novel has made a repeat appearance only once before. I
hope Sebastian will be around for a long time, Grisham says.

BEA SHOW DAILY
Adults Get Coloring

The U.S. market for coloring books began heating up last year. In the last
few months it has really taken off, led by artist Johanna Basfords debut,
Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book, and her follow-up
last February, Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest and Coloring Book, both
published by Laurence King and distributed in the U.S. by Chronicle Books.
To date Secret Garden has more
than 1.5 million copies in print
worldwide. The demand is dizzying, says Debra Matsumoto, U.S.
publicity and marketing manager.
Its into five digits in some cases for
one account. To keep up, this
month and next Laurence King
plans to deliver eight reprints of
Secret Garden and four slightly
larger ones of Enchanted Forest to
the U.S. market alone.
Although coloring is a solitary
activity, it can be done in the company of others. Mark my words, says Matsumoto, it will be the new reading
group. As a special perk, Laurence King is raffling off a set of Basfords
products, including the upcoming Enchanted Forest Postcard Book, slated
for fall release. Its also giving away a color-in postcard designed by Basford
at the Chronicle booth (2720).
But Chronicle isnt the only booth with Basford postcards. To promote her
next book, Lost Ocean, which Penguin Random House bought as part of a
two-book deal earlier this month, it is also giving out a postcard at its booth
(3119). The new book features Basfords trademark intricate designs, this
time in the world under the sea, and releases at the end of October with a
400,000-copy announced first printing. The second, as yet unnamed, book
will publish in fall 2016.
Other publishers are also testing
the adult coloring book market this
year and offering booksellers a bit
of coloring respite at the show.
Little, Brown will be offering coloring book giveaways and holding a
coloring contest in its booth (2918)
to promote its first line of adult coloring books, subtitled Color Your
Way to Calm. In June, it will publish
Splendid Cities, by Rosie Goodwin
and Alice Chadwick, as well as
Secret Paris, by Zo de Las Cases.
Two additional de Las Cases coloring books are due in October: Secret New York and Secret Tokyo. All four are
printed on high-quality paper and the Secret Cities books feature zentangle patterns to lower stress. Theyre also absolutely gorgeous, according
to publicity manager Carrie Neill.
At Running Press, coloring as therapy is an important component of
its first adult coloring books. Each has doodle and color your stress
away on the front cover. The books are packaged by Michael OMara,
who did the presss popular Doodle books for kids, and feature thick
cardboard covers and four-color illustrations inside. Color Therapy, by
Hannah Davies, Richard Merritt, and Jo Taylor, and Creative Therapy, by
Cindy Wilde, Laura-Kate Chapman, and Richard Merritt are due out
next month. Editorial director Jennifer Kasius points out that the press
had only planned to start with two books, but bought a third (Calming
Therapy, due in November), as a sign of its confidence that the trend will
continue.
I have a feeling parents have been doing this for a while, says Jennifer
Kasius, Running Press editorial director. Its nice to have it out there for
adults and not to
have to color
Cinderella or Dora
the Explorer.
Booksellers and
librarians will have a
chance to relax and
color at Running
Presss booth (738),
which will have blowups of coloring pages,
markers, and easels.

Love Is in the Air at YA Editors Buzz Panel

Despite the wide range of setting and genres, all of the books featured at the
Young Adult Editors Buzz Panel had a common theme: love. Five editors
took the stage to talk about their acquisitions, and the common thread was
love of all kinds: first love, forbidden love, love from beyond the grave, and,
not to be outdone, deadly love.
The panelists were Laura Chasen, associate editor, St. Martins Griffin;
Wendy Loggia, executive editor, Delacorte Press; Arianne Lewin, executive editor, Putnam Books for Young Readers; Christian Trimmer, executive editor, S&S
BFYR; and Elizabeth
Bewley, executive

tough stuff, but really
real, she said. The author humanizes the situation, and I can think of no
better way to introduce these issues to readers than with the characters of
Evan and Alma.
In Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon (Delacorte, Sept.), 17-year-old
Maddy hasnt been outside her house in her lifetime because of an allergy to
the outside world. When a tall, handsome boy who dresses in all black
moves in with his family next door, Maddys world is never the same. Its not
only forbidden love that grows between Maddy and Olly, but because of
medical complications, its a love that could actually kill her. Editor Loggia
described the book as honest, truthful, and special. Its packed with teen
appeal because of its authentic voice.
Nightfall, by Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski (Putnam BFYR, Oct.), is
set on an island where 14 years of daylight is followed by 14 years of darkness. Editor Lewin said the story is exactly what she loves in a story, part
horror story, part love story, part mystery, all in a world that feels real. The
story begins with twins falling for the same girl and the three of them getting trapped on the island, only to find out that the island belong to others
when darkness falls.
The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch, Vol. 1: At the Edge of Empire, by Daniel Kraus (S&S BFYR, Oct.), is a genre-mixing novel told by a 17-year-old who
died in 1896. Trimmer, the books editor, said its a mixture of historical,
coming-of-age, and love story. The book has not only brains and guts but
also emotional depth, he said.
This Raging Light, by Estelle Laure (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Jan.), is
more than just a romance, according to editor Bewley. Its a love story, but
it also deals with the complexities of friendship, she said. But even more
than that, its authentic. Seventeen-year-old Lucille is pushed into adulthood when her parents abandon her and her nine-year-old sister. To complicate things, Lucille falls for her best friends brother. I was swept away by
the romance, said Bewley, but it also made me recall the anxieties of
growing up. I love that the book lets readers think about their own definiJoy Bean

Libraries On Offense in Digital Revolution
Table # 4
Autographing Area
Author Photo Kathryn Hollinrake
The American Library Association this week issued a new, digital-focused

supplement in its American Libraries magazine, featuring articles with a
noticeable theme: progress. The supplement, Digital Futures, highlights the
initiatives, opportunities, and challenges undertaken by libraries, and
demonstrates that while there is a lot of work to do, libraries have moved on
to a new phase in their digital evolution.
Among the contributions are articles on innovative projects, including
the story of the New York Public Librarys Library Simplified, a service
under development to aid e-book access for library users. Other articles
focus on future directions for libraries and e-books, including a contribution
from Tim McCall, former v-p at Penguin Group. James G. Neal, university
librarian emeritus at Columbia University, offers a warning regarding
born-digital materials and digital preservation. And Eric Hellman, president of Gluejar, which makes e-books available under Creative Commons
licenses, offers some specific actions to improve digital privacy in libraries,
as well as to upgrade the user experience.
The supplement shows that libraries are in a very different place than just
a few years ago, when they were playing defense, as major publishers were
backing away from e-book access. With basic access now achieved, libraries
are now focusing on the larger issues in the digital future. Being on offense
includes both taking action and planning for future action, Alan Inouye,
guest editor of the supplement and director of ALAs Office of Information
Andrew Albanese

BEA SHOW DAILY
At the Kids Breakfast Table

Guests at this mornings annual Childrens Book and Author Breakfast will
be entertained by a quartet of childrens book creators, including a debut
picture book author famous for his performances in other spotlights; the
illustrator of a 2014 breakout picture book bestseller; the award-winning
author of two back-to-back YA hits; and a veteran childrens and adult novelist whose book sales exceed 305 million worldwide. The lineup is impressive:
Nathan Lane, Oliver Jeffers, Rainbow Rowell, and James Patterson. Following
the breakfast, ABA members can join the panelists for a book signing in the
ABA Lounge.
Acting as master of ceremonies, Nathan Lane
steps into a new role at BEA, that of picture book
author. Cowritten with Devlin Elliot and illustrated
by Dan Krall, Lanes debut picture book, Naughty
Mabel (Simon & Schuster Books for Young
Readers, Oct.), introduces an entitled French
bulldog who bears an unmistakable likeness to
the pet that shares Lane and Elliots home. I
have to admit the real Mabel is indeed spoiled
and pampered, Lane concedes. She actually
has 26 separate allergies and a very delicate
stomach. Shes extremely stubborn, a little neurotic, a little needyits like living with Gwyneth Nathan Lane
Paltrow.
Lane says that, when he suggested to Elliot that overprivileged, real-life
Mabel might be easily parlayed into a childrens book character, Devlin
thought it was a great idea, and said that we should write it together, and
thus Naughty Mabel was born.
Elliot wrote the first draft of the picture book, which Lane says, was very
sweet, but I thought it was a little too sweet, and I wanted to inject more
humor and attitude into the character. We took turns doing drafts, and then
worked on each one together, which was great fun. I think French bulldog
owners will recognize two hilarious traits that are part of the breedloud
snoring and excessive gasand we also knew kids would love that!
Lane is gratified to add childrens book author to his credits, noting that
picture books have a very special place in our culture, and Devlin and I are
thrilled and humbled to be a part of it. As a child, he recalls, bookstores and
libraries were always magical places to me.
Though the author admits that todays breakfast takes place at an hour that
is a little early for meits probably a little early even for Tibetan monks,
hes honored to host the event and be in the presence of people who are
hell-bent on getting the right books into the right kids hands. If that is not
an honorable profession, Id like to know what is.
Oliver Jeffers is certainly a household name to
booksellers, who heartily embraced and happily
handsold The Day the Crayons Quit, written by
Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Jeffers, which
has 1.8 million copies in print in North America
alone. Fans of all ages will be pleased to know
that the strong-willed crayons return in The Day
the Crayons Came Home (Philomel, Aug.), for
which a one millioncopy announced first printing is on order. Jeffers notes that he and Daywalt
had a good time bringing the crayons back. We
had a lot of fun doing this book, he says. The
crayons face a different raft of problems in this
Oliver Jeffers
book, and rather than protest letters, they write postcards, since they feel
forgotten and feel they need to be rescued. Designing the visual elements of
the postcards and stamps was funI did a lot of laughing when we came up
with some of the ideas.
Jefferss tweaks to his art give some spreads in the sequel a slightly different look from its predecessor. I used some special inks in this book, and it
was fun to experiment with those, he notes. There are a couple of special
crayons playing a role in this story, and I did have some fun with neon and
glow-in-the-dark crayons.
The artist also welcomed the shift in his and Daywalts collaborative process this time around. With the first book, Drew had come up with the idea
several years earlier, so when I worked on the illustrations, I didnt have a
lot of communication with him, he says. But we got to know each other
after the book came out, and at a certain point creating this second book, we
realized it was more conducive to be in the same room working on it, so we
got together.
Jeffers has illustrated another fall picture book, Imaginary Fred
(HarperCollins, Oct.), by Eoin Colfer, about a boy and his imaginary friend.
Jeffers and Colfer met while each was on a book tour on the other side of
the planet, and after chatting in Sydney we decided we should do something
together one day, Jeffers recalls. Two weeks later, Eoin sent me an idea I

thought was a workable story that I could definitely bring to life. The story
came pretty quickly to him, and the idea for the art came quite quickly to
me. If we have fun making it, then kids will have fun reading it. And we definitely had fun making it!
Jeffers is pleased to be speaking at todays breakfast, noting, I am very
flattered to think that people might find what I have to say interesting. And I
feel as though Ive already been introduced to booksellers through The Day
the Crayons Quit, which I am grateful they have loved handselling. But I
should say, I think the sequel is even a better book than the first.
Rainbow Rowell, who made a splash in the YA
arena with 2013s Eleanor & Park and 2014s
Fangirl, returns to BEA to promote her newest
novel for teens, Carry On (St. Martins Griffin,
Sept.), which is written in a different vein than,
but was sparked by, her second YA novel. In
Fangirl, I wrote about Simon Snow, a fictional
character written by a fictional author, and about
two sisters who write fan fiction about Simon,
explains Rowell. I started thinking about how
Id write a story about a boy with magical powers,
and that led to Carry On.
In the novel, a combination ghost story, love
Rainbow Rowell
story, and mystery, evil forces are out to get
powerful magician Simon Snow during his last year at the Watford School of
Magicks. As a kid, my first obsession was with Star Wars, says Rowell. And
Ive spent a number of my adult years obsessed with Harry Potteroh, and I
also had a King Arthur period. These were powerful, chosen people, and I
began thinking about a young hero whos born into a similar position, how
unfair it would be to a kid to be told, We need you to fight a war to save the
world. These heroes never get to decide if they really want to fightand
they always have to trust the person who tells them that they have to.
Rowell is pleased to be back at BEA, where, she finds, Its really exciting to
experience all this buzzing energy. A first-time attendee of the Childrens
Book and Author Breakfast, the author notes, I want to take this opportunity
to thank independent booksellers for being so very supportive of my books.

Bestselling author and passionate literary advocate and philanthropist
James Patterson is no stranger to booksellers and is pleased to be back at
BEA, where he can be a book junkie, going from booth to booth.
Patterson adds to his roster of childrens books this fall with additions to
two middle-grade series published by Little,
Brown Books for Young Readers: Treasure
Hunters: Secret of the Forbidden City, in which the
Kidd kids travel to China in search of an ancient
artifact that will buy their mothers freedom
from renegade pirates; and House of Robots:
Robots Go Wild, recounting Sammys scramble
to find out what is wrong with his malfunctioning robot brother in order to save his family.
Both books are cowritten by Chris Grabenstein.
Both series support Pattersons mission of
hooking kids on reading. By the end of the
James Patterson
Treasure Hunters series, kids will have visited
every continent, which is a very cool notion, he says. And House of Robots
helps get kids interested in both reading and science.
Patterson welcomes such opportunities as todays breakfast to connect
with individuals involved, in various ways, with the childrens book industry.
I love the chance to stand up and encourage more to stand up, he says.
Kids books are one of the ways we can all help. We cant solve global warming, but we can change things by making parents more aware of the importance of reading, and reaching kids who are reading, but not reading enough.
And in terms of at-risk kids, if they dont become competent readersnot
necessarily great readers, but competentthey are pretty much doomed in
terms of getting through high school.
Noting that this childrens literacy cause is huge to me, Patterson says,
I am honored to be able to participate in todays panel, and inspire publishers
and booksellers to take more responsibility, as I am also doing, to encourage
kids to read. Not all kids love eating broccolithey may need some encourSally Lodge

Whats Buzzing in
Middle Grade
BEAs perennially popular Middle-Grade Editors Buzz Panel, this year
moderated by Sara Hines, co-owner of Eight Cousins Bookstore, in
Falmouth, Mass., takes place today, in Room 1E12/1E13, 1111:50 a.m. Heres
a preview of what attendees can expect to hear about panelists high expectations for the novels theyre spotlighting, as well as their observations on
the value of this forum.
David Levithan, Scholastic v-p, publisher, and editorial director, on Alex Ginos George: When people
look at George, they think they see a boy. But she
knows shes not a boy. She knows shes a girl. When
her teacher announces that their class play is going
to be Charlottes Web, George really wants to play
Charlotte, but shes not even allowed to try out for
the partbecause shes a boy. With the help of her
best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plannot
just so she can be Charlotte, but so everyone can
know who she is, once and for all. This is an amazing
book. And its also an important book. Alex brilliantly breaks new ground, and does it with a sweet touch thats unafraid to
show its happiness.
When editors have a book they love, the natural inclination is to shout
about it from every rooftop imaginable. And BEA is a damn effective rooftop.
Martha Mihalick, senior editor, Greenwillow, on The Doldrums, by
Nicholas Gannon: Archer B. Helmsley yearns for an adventure, so together
with his two best friends, he schemes to rescue his
grandparents, famous explorers who went missing
on an iceberg. Gannon has a limitless imagination
and a sly sense of humor, and the immense talent
necessary to bring them onto the page both in art
and writing. The artwork is at once precise in detail
and wide in scope, showing the reader not just individual moments but the whole world his characters
inhabit.
Introducing a distinctive new talent and a special
book to a room full of passionate readerswhat
could be better? To give booksellers insights behind
a story and an author that they can share with their customers is such a
meaningful opportunity.
Nancy Paulsen, president and publisher, Penguin/
Nancy Paulsen Books, on Lisa Lewis Tyres Last in a
Long Line of Rebels: When Lou uncovers the Civil
Warera diary of her great-great-great-grandmother, she learns some mind-boggling things about
her familys past. This debut novel explores, in an
accessible way, how where we come from can affect
where we are going. Lisa introduces some of the
most memorable, self-possessed characters Ive
met. Her voice jumps off the page, bringing delicious, laugh-out-loud life to a small Tennessee town.
Her book is full of the wonder of growing up and
realizing the world and your family might be crazy and full of contradictions, but if you listen and try to communicate, you just might be able to hear
each other and understand.
I believe that the value of this buzz panel is the chance to highlight a
fresh and funny middle-grade voice, and to bring attention to some of the
fine literary writing in this genre.
Elise Howard, publisher and editor, Algonquin Young Readers, on The
Entirely True Story of the Unbelievable FIB, by Adam Shaughnessy: This
launches a new series in which Prudence Potts and
her new friend ABE receive an invitation to join the
Fantasy Investigation Bureau and soon discover
theres a whole world beneath the surface of their
towna world where Viking gods are on the brink of
a war that they must somehow stop. This novel from
a debut author is remarkable in numerous ways: it
combines engaging protagonists, a great but not
obvious villain, an intriguing mystery adventure,
wordplay and puzzles, a sure command of Norse
mythology, and terrific writing.
Having a buzz panel title selected sparks buyer
interest, industry word of mouth, and foreign and subsidiary rights inquiries. I even see in-house interest spike.

Once Upon a Time Bookstore is

Kids Only on the Uptown Stage

For the third year running, childrens book creators will take over an
authors stage for an entire day, and devotees of books for young readers will
be happy to learn that today is that day. Sally Dedecker, BEA education
director, worked with childrens publishers to orchestrate the days programming on the Uptown Stage.
The success of the childrens book-themed stage programs (which last
year, says Dedecker, were some of the best attended stage events of the
show) is largely due to publishers creativity and spirit of cooperation. Many
people from different houses came up with great, insightful ideas for programs, panelists, and moderators, and pulled together to suggest books that
tie in to various topics, explains Dedecker. Since we have limited space on
the stage schedule, we went through publishers submissions to see what
topics and titles we could combine, and to determine what would be of most
interest to booksellers.
The resulting agenda touches on a spectrum of themes, and speakers range
from the newcomers spotlighted on the young adult and middle-grade Editors

After 18 bestselling books, two hit Disney movies, and 15 years, Meg Cabots Princess Diaries
series is coming to an end when Royal Wedding
(Morrow) hits stores in June. Were so excited
to be publishing the latest installmentand the
first adult novelabout Princess Mia
Thermopolis, says Jennifer Hart, senior v-p,
associate publisher, and group marketing
director. So many readers grew up with Mia,
and now, as Mia is beginning her adult life, they
too have struck out on their own. With Royal
Wedding, Meg has once again delivered a hilarious and heartfelt novel her fans will not only
identify with, but love.
This will actually be the second farewell for the
Princess Diaries. Six years ago, after Princess
Mia graduated from high school in Forever
Princess, it was decided to end the series. We
had a huge event at the New York Public Library
with all sorts of celebrities making tiaras, Cabot
recalls, and we raised lots of money for the
library. But then readers kept writing and telling
me they wanted to see Mia have a wedding like
William and Kate. Cabot has now granted their
wishesunless a scandal (when its discovered
that Mias father has a biracial daughter) derails
her big day.
That daughter, 12-year-old Olivia Grace, will

The Polish
Eagle Has
Landed
Aquila Polonica is a publishing house in Los
Angeles cofounded by Terry Tegnazian, a former
attorney, who became so interested in the Polish
experience in WWII she decided to specialize in
books that bring to light the Poles who bravely
helped underground resistance fighters.
The companys latest release, Julian Kulskis
The Color of Courage, is one example of the little-known part of WWII that was suppressed by
postwar communist propaganda
campaigns aimed at keeping the
West from supporting Poland, one
of its allies during the war. Kulski,
whose ancestors include a chief
rabbi of Warsaw and a king of
Poland, was a 10-year-old Boy Scout
when the Germans invaded Poland
in 1939. At the age of 12, he was
recruited by his scoutmaster into
the clandestine Underground Army
and trained in military tactics and
the use of weapons. At 13, Kulski
joined his commander on a secret
mission into the Warsaw ghetto to
assist the Jewish leadership. Taken
prisoner by the Germans and sent
to a POW camp, at 16 the war ended
for Kulski when he made a risky
dash for freedom onto an American
truck instead of waiting for liberation by the Soviets.
The 86-year-old Kulski lives in
Washington, D.C., and wrote The
Color of Courage in diary form
when he was 16 and living in
England. Suffering from PTSD as a
result of his war experiences, he
wrote the book as a therapeutic
exercise for himself. Henry Holt
thought it so compelling and well
written that the publisher put out
Kulskis book in 1979. Tegnazian
tracked down the author of the
long-out-of-print book in
Washington, signed him as a client
with Aquila Polonica, and redesigned The Color of Courage as a
new edition. It joins such titles as
The Auschwitz Volunteer: Beyond
Bravery, by Capt. Witold Pilecki;
The Mermaid and the
Messerschmitt: War Through a
Womans Eyes 19391940, by Rulka
Langer; and The Ice Road: An Epic
Journey from the Stalinist Labor
Camps, by Stefan Waydenfeld.
Tegnazian has bought the rights to
another 30 titles in Poland, which
she will have translated and publish
over time.
Aquila Polonica, which means,
Polish eagle in Latin, is distributed by NBN. All of its books have
won at least one award, including
several Ben Franklins from the
Independent Book Publishers
Association.
Tegnazian is of Armenian
descent. People are surprised

Ken Corday
The Gentle Art of Murder
Hey, ladies! Have any dark, murderous
thoughts? Ken Corday thinks you do, even if
youre loathe to admit it. In fact, hes sure you
do. From his perch in Hollywood, where he
produces NBCs daytime soap Days of Our
Lives, he knows that its common for wives,
especially wronged wives, to want to murder
their husbands. And hes dreamed up a book,
Ladies of the Lake (Beaufort Books, June),
where they do.
The novel, a first for Corday, features six
wives, six dead husbands, a number of offspring, and the L.A. police department. His favorite character is one of the husbands, who dies on page one.
His favorite female character? All of them, because they are beautiful,
wealthy, and lethal, but his most favorite is a grande dame named Margaret, modeled after actress Maggie Smith.
Its easy in the affluent community I live in to find models for my characters, he says. I was at a barbecue at a house near a lake, and I looked at the
wives present and thought, they are the ladies of the lake, and it dawned on
me I had the germ of a novel. But, he adds, Nobody I know would do anything monstrous.
The son of Ted and Betty Corday, who created Days of Our Lives 50 years
ago (there is a big celebration of the show this fall), Corday wrote a memoir
about his parents and their successful odyssey in show business (Sourcebooks, 2010).I enjoyed writing the first book so much, and Ive always
wanted to write a novel, he says. In fiction you dont have to be proper, you
can say things that are titillating. With my first book I couldnt go outside the
box.
In writing Ladies Corday borrowed a page from Stephen King, one of his
heroes, and Raymond Chandler, whose Lady of the Lake he greatly admires.
Those two authors are pillars of his writing, he says.
On the difference between producing a show for TV and writing a book for
publication, he says, A TV show is all-encompassing. The job is to watch the
shop from top to bottom. With writing, its all on you. You dont have a team. I
found it very refreshing. A mental health break.
Ken Corday signs ARCs today at noon at the Midpoint Trade Books booth
(1357). At BookCon, he will sign on Saturday at noon at Midpoints booth

At end of Linda Fairsteins Terminal City, the

16-book-long flirtation between Manhattans
top sex crimes prosecutor, Alexandra Cooper,
and New York City Police Detective Mike
Chapman has finally moved into an affair. But
the affair is on hold in The Devils Bridge
(Dutton, Aug.), the 17th installment in the
series, as Alex fails to return home one evening and is declared missing. After a decade
of putting criminals behind bars, the suspects
in her disappearance are legion. Theres also
been a recent security breach with dangerous
repercussions, and the police commissioner is
increasingly wary of the methods Mike may be
using to get Alex back. For the first time, most
of the story will be told by Chapman. We go

Agns Sorel Mistress of Beauty
Far Outside the Ordinary
Karen Newman
Princess Michael of Kent
Prissy Elrod
The Queen of Four Kingdoms is dead. Agns Sorel, her beautiful and
innocent fourteen-year-old pupil, soon catches the attention of the mourning
court. As a trusted confidant of the deceased Queen Yolande, Agns
captivates all whom she meets, but none more so than the newly crowned
King of France, Charles VII.
Employed as a demoiselle to his wife, Queen Marie dAnjou, Agns finds
herself firmly ensconced in the royal court, and in the midst of her duties
discovers a burgeoning passion for the King that she can no longer refuse
or deny. As their relationship deepens and Agnss influence over the King
grows, she is viewed with suspicion by the court. Plagued by guilt but unable
to rebuff the Kings advances, Agns is forced to choose between her love for
Charles and her duty to herself.
In this extraordinary novel, Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent tells
the little-known story of Agns Sorel, the first royal mistress, and takes us
into the heart of a woman who knew that the possession of knowledge proves
to be the ultimate power.

her house for the night, she would have told them they were nuts. But
it happened.
An emotionally honest account, Far Outside the Ordinary chronicles
the period in Prissys life when, during a routine physical, her fiftyyear-old husband is given less than a year to live. Southern black
caregivers move into her home and work around the clock to aid
her family. Soon, Prissy finds herself a spectator in her own home,
observing events far outside the boundaries of her once ordinary life.
Far Outside the Ordinary is also a story of happily ever after, a
romantic fairy tale. When her high school boyfriend reappears in her
life, Prissy learns love has no expiration date. Sometimes a second
chance at love can come disguised, and when least expected.
Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent is the author

To the Manners Reborn
34
The idea for the first edition of Delia Ephrons

book, Do I Have to Say Hello? illustrated by
renowned New Yorker cartoonist Ed Koren,
was hatched when she picked up her eightyear-old nephew at the airport and he told her
to take him to the baseball card shop. He
didnt even say, Hello, remarks Ephron with
a laugh. So on the way home from the airport,
I invented this game where I would give him
manners questions with horrible answers, as
well as the right answer. He just collapsed
over it. When I got home I started to write
Delia Ephron
Aunt Delias manners quiz. She showed it to
illustrator Ed Koren, with whom shed collaborated before; he quickly signed on, and the
book was published in 1989.
Eventually it went out of print. Fast forward
to 2012 when she was on tour for her novel, The
Lion Is In (Blue Rider Press/Riverside Books),
where, thanks to a woman she befriended on
the plane to Nashville, she found herself at a
fund-raiser with country/western singers.
Im wandering around feeling completely as
weird as you can when youre at a party and
you know absolutely nobody, and I walked up
to a couple and said, Hi, Im Delia Ephron,
Ed Koren
and the woman said, Aunt Delia? And I
thought, This is crazy! and thats what started me thinking about doing this
again. The new and improved Do I Have to Say Hello? comes out this
November.
What surprises both Ephron and Koren is that most of the book is still relevant, though its been made more current. Ephron tells Show Daily, Of
course, phone manners went right out because young children dont answer
their parents cellphones. And mucous became snot. And baseball manners,
while still popular, do not begin to be as popular as soccer. Soccer is also for
boys and girls, so we did soccer manners instead of baseball.
Notes Koren, I hadnt really thought about it for many years, so I looked
at it and said to myself that there were improvements to be made, but basically it was a sturdy classic. It was a great idea that we republished it, particularly in the climate of child rearing today. It has a kind of resonance that it
didnt have thenits a different culture now.
Ephron chimes in, I believe in the word, no. Its a valid word in a family.
I dont think that the word okay should be at the end of every sentence like
it often is with todays parents. Please do this, okay? Dont touch the grapes,
okay? But this book is very playful and funny and meant to entertain.
Viewing his original illustrations gave Koren a rare opportunity for a second look at what hed drawn 27 years ago. Its every artists dream to revisit
drawings that you always have second thoughts about. I was able to tweak
them a little bit. I didnt change them muchbut a lot needed ita sharpening of the expression, extra gestures. In some cases I redrew it entirely.
One of the obvious changes in the book is dealing with the impact of tech-

Manhattan district attorneys office, and Alex Cooper have more than law
enforcement in common. They share a passion for the works of 19th-century
English novelist Anthony Trollope. Alex reads Trollope to get away from
the grit of her job, and I have this thing about reading all of Trollope
before I die, Fairstein says. Right now, Im reading Phineas Redux.
Fairstein has always included characters who are readers in her bestselling series and insisted that part of Alexs character is shes always
reading a book. Harlan Coben, Lisa Scottoline, P.D. James, and Daphne du
Mauriers Rebecca have all been found on Alexs nightstand. Chapman is
always reading military history, crime fiction, and hardboiled detectives
such as Raymond Chandler. In The Devils Bridge, Chapman dives into
books by Coben and Michael Connelly. I usually include a nod to one of my
friends whos the competition, says Fairstein, laughing. I often hear from
readers that theyve bought titles mentioned in my books. and when I post
on social media about books Im reading, I always get feedback from readers who tell me they are going to the bookstore today.
Fairstein will be signing galleys at Table 13 in the main autographing area
today, noon12:30 p.m. A book tour with stops in New York City, Phoenix,
Houston, and on Long Island and Marthas Vineyard is also in the works, as

David Baldacci
ContinuesHisFantasyWorld-Building
The Finisher, David Baldaccis debut YA fantasy in March, introduced ironwilled Vega Jane, who takes a stand and fights to do whats right after discovering that her village of Wormwood is built on dangerous lies. In a sequel,
The Keeper (Scholastic Press, Sept.), which will have a 250,000-copy announced
first printing, the heroine faces even more daunting challenges as she leaves
Wormwood to discover the truth about her worldand navigates her way
across the Quag, a terrifying land of bloodthirsty creatures and sinister magic.
Baldacci tackled new challenges himself writing this follow-up story. He
notes that, even though he had already established the characters of his
teenage protagonist and her best friend, Delph, I had to create a brand-new
world out of nothing as they escape from Wormwood and venture into the

Quag and confront its evil inhabitants.

The author, who discovered when he wrote
The Finisher how freeing fantasy can be, found
that taking Vega Jane and Delph onto new and
terrifying turf was just as, and in some ways
more, liberating than his first foray into the
genre. Whereas the residents of the village of
Wormwood are bound by some rules, he
explains, in the Quag, the sky is the limit
anything goes. I could go in any direction I
wanted and make that world frightening, startling, wicked, and dangerous, so I threw in
everything.
Baldacci is far from finished building new
worlds for Vega Jane and Delph to survive.
He is now writing the third, still untitled, book in the series, in which the
intrepid teens discover a new land beyond the Quag. Its a place that seems
more benign at the start, but when you scratch the surface you realize that
maybe it is as dangerous, or even more dangerous, than Quag, he says.
With future adventures in mind for Vega Jane, Baldacci expects that the
series will encompass at least four, maybe five installments.
The Virginia author recently returned home after touring to promote
Memory Man, his latest novel for adults, and was pleased to see young readers as well as grown-ups attend his events. It was gratifying to see so many
kids there, and to discover that adults, too, liked The Finisher. When I wrote
that book, I hoped it would appeal to readers ages 10 to 110, and it does
seem that everyone enjoys reading it. I think fantasy is as liberating for the
reader as for the writerin a way, its a fountain of youth.
Baldacci, whose 27 bestselling books for adults have sold more than 110
million copies worldwide, says that he alternates between writing his adult
books and YA novelson a daily basis. I am spending half my day writing a
new adult thriller, and other half working on my third Vega Jane fantasy. Im

Jeremy Scott, cofounder and co-creator of the

YouTube sensation CinemaSins, has a good
thing going with a website that has more than
four million followers and 40 million-plus views
a month. When he finished writing his first
novel, The Ables (Clovercroft Publishing, May),
nine years ago, he tried the traditional route to
get it published. I was trying to find an agent
and sending out query letters. And it was so
hopeless because that never gets you anywhere.
Then he and his business partner, Chris Atkinson, started CinemaSins in 2012, a YouTube
channel that humorously documents film errors.
Once that hit a million subscribers, I said, I
think Im going to put my book out and market it to these people. Even if the
general publishing world doesnt hear about it, we should sell enough copies
to at least get it read and maybe get it talked about.
To say that was a pretty smart idea is an understatement. He partnered
with Clovercroft Publishing, a custom publishing house, and Ingram for distribution. With all his ducks in a row, he posted a video about The Ables on
YouTube, advertised it on CinemaSins, and within 24 hours his book hit #1
on the Barnes and Noble bestseller list, was the #1 Amazon Hot New
Release, and was #1 on the Amazon Movers & Shakers list. There are 25,000
copies in print with a second printing in the offing, and Scott is flying high.
Scott says the inspiration for his novel, which is about a group of unlikely
superheroes, all of whom are disabled in some way, I initially had a comic
book in mind and all the characters were senior citizensone was a judge
in a wheelchair. As I tinkered and wrote, they became children, and then I
fell in love with them. From there I did draw some inspiration from people
that I had known in my life, but its just little bits here and there.
Known for his somewhat sarcastic and humorous approach on his YouTube channels, Scott says his followers might be surprised by the hopeful
message in The Ables. For me the main themes are about not letting anybody tell you where you fit in this world. You determine what kind of individual you are going to be, which side of light or dark youre going to live on.
He signs finished copies today at 10:30 a.m. in the autograph area at Table
8. Later today Scott signs books at the Clovercroft booth (1168B) in the
Ingram section, 12 p.m. He and his CinemaSins partner, Atkinson, appear
at BookCon on Sunday for a discussion entitled, Everything Wrong With: A
Day with Cinema Sins, which will focus on book-to-film mishaps, 6:307:30

H. S. Cross
An Obsession with Boarding School

Debut novelist H.S. Cross is not exactly foreign to the limelightas a teen she was an
anchor on a television show in Michigan
called Kids World Magazineso she knows
the obvious prepublication question about
Wilberforce (Farrar, Straus & Giroux,
Sept.), her debut set in St. Stephens
English boarding school after WWI. It is:
how did an American girl became
obsessed with British public schools? I
dont really know the answer to that, she
says, but English boarding schools and the
literature about them have been her
obsession for as long as she can remember.
At Harvard, she studied theater and
took a playwriting course with Adrienne
Kennedy. She struggled with the idea of real writing vs. good girl writing
until she and theater got a divorce, and she started working at the
famed Friends Seminary in Manhattan. But all the while she formed stories about an English boarding school without any idea how to publish
them and eventually stepped back from full-time teaching to tutoring and
write the stories she imagined. When she concentrated on the writing,
this minor character named Morgan Wilberforcewho the author
thought was going to be mean but still found attractivebegan to emerge
as the center of her novel.
At 17, Wilberforce faces a crisis at the same time St. Stephens and the
post-WWI English way of life is in crisis. Comparisons to Hogwarts are
inevitable, and Cross says she admires how J.K. Rowling brought fantasy

an avid collector of sticks, rocks, and other natural tidbits, inspired Penguin
and Pinecone. One day, he found a pinecone, brought it home, and put it in
a box, recalls Yoon. He took it upstairs to his room, and asked me if Id
make a little blanket for it. It was the sweetest thing to see this little boy caring for this pinecone draped in a small piece of cloth, and I remember thinking how nurturing children naturally are. I kept this memory with me, and it
became the basis for my first Penguin story.
Penguins Big Adventure was also sparked by an interest of her children,
Yoon says. Her sons, now ages 10 and 11, are fascinated by feats recorded in
such works as the Guinness Book of World Records. Because of their interest in the ways people break records, I decided that Penguin should make it
his goal to be the first penguin ever to reach the North Pole, she says.
Once he does, he realizes that there are no other penguins there, but, true
to his character, he finds a new friend. Who is, of course, a polar bear.
Yoon branches out yet again in her next picture book, Be a Friend, due
from Bloomsbury in winter 2016, in which a boy who communicates only
through mime feels alienated until he finds a way to connect with a new
friend. This is a very important book for me, Yoon says. I have avoided
illustrating children for most of my career, since I wasnt comfortable doing
that. But when I developed the concept for Be a Friend, I just knew that the
characters had to be children.
A resident of San Diego, Calif., Yoon, attending her first BEA as an author,
is excited about participating in todays Speed Dating with Childrens
Authors. She looks forward, she says, to sharing Penguins Big Adventure

presents the adult teachers point of view, which was directly influenced
by her own teaching days. When you create a school, its a mini-world,
says Cross. Its this pressure cooker. The crisis Wilberforce faces is emotional, sexual, and spiritual, explains the author, but being set in 1926, she
believes she could write about sexuality more in terms of love and longing
in the classic tradition and less about orientation and identity seen in its
treatment today. Theres a tenderness about it because WWI was so traumatic, she says. I love being in that world.
Long after she hatched a childhood obsession with English boarding
schools, Cross married a Brit reared in that tradition. Her husband died
suddenly several years ago, and Cross says her bereavement informed
some of the most emotional parts of the plot in Wilberforce. Her British
stepson, she adds, served as her cricket adviser. As for the characters in
Wilberforce, Cross insists there are more stories to come, and FSG is marketing Wilberforce as the first part of a series, with huge in-house buzz
comparing the author to Evelyn Waugh and Donna Tart.

Katherine Applegate
Something New, Echoes of the Old
How daunting is it to return to ones writing desk after winning the Newbery? Oh, man, I was a wreck! Katherine Applegate, who clinched that
medal in 2013 for The One and Only Ivan, admits. What was worse,
when Id talk to other Newbery winners, almost to a person they said that
theyd already had another book halfway finished or soon to be published
when they won the award, and that was not the case with me.
But the author eventually set to work on Crenshaw (Feiwel & Friends,
Sept.), the story of Jackson, a fifth-grader whose family has fallen on
hard times and may have to move out of their apartment and live in their
minivan. The last time the family was homeless, Jackson was visited by
Crenshaw, an imaginary friend who is an oversize, outspoken cat, and
who now comes back into his life.

This story, Applegate explains, was long in the shaping. Id been flirting with the idea on and off for years, but I wanted to get it just right, so it
took me quite a while, she says. I think most writers will say that at the
start of each book they think, Im not sure I can do this. But eventually
you reach a magical point where the story suddenly becomes real to you
and you become totally invested in it. Once that happened with Crenshaw, it was all good, and I really love how the novel ended up.
Though her new book has a very different story line than The One and
Only Ivan, Applegate points to some similarities between the two. Stylistically, both feature concise writing, with the text broken up by much white
space. Teachers have told me that the white space and short blocks of text
in Ivan is great for reluctant readers, Applegate remarks, and I do like
writing that wayprobably because Im lazy. But sometimes paring down
is the hardest part.
Thematically, too, the author finds parallels between the two novels,
which both explore friendship and survival. I guess on some subconscious
level, I was aware that these are two elements of both books, Applegate
says. Crenshaw, like Ivan, is about
somebody dealing with a dark place and
finding solace in a friend.
The California author, who will sign galleys of Crenshaw today, 11 a.m.noon, at
Table 5, is thrilled to be back at BEA. I
love any excuse to come to New York
when its not February, she quips. I
love the chaos of this show. You can walk
down any random aisle and see people
you know, and people youve always
wanted to know, and find books to salivate over. Its kind of like visiting a
really caffeinated bookstore.

The Strength of Gratitude
Last New Years Eve, Janice Kaplan, a New

York Times bestselling author and former
Parade editor-in-chief, started to wonder
what I could do to have a good year ahead. I
realized that how I felt during the next 12
months would probably have less to do with
actual events than with the mood and spirit I
brought to each day. So I decided to spend a
year being grateful and finding the bright side
of whatever happened.
What she discovered during that year is
revealed in The Gratitude Diaries: How a Year
Looking on the Bright Side Transformed My Life (Dutton, Aug.). Kaplan
spoke to psychologists, doctors, academics, and researchers and collected
stories from friends, colleagues, and people she met over the year, from a
Zumba teacher in New Haven to a nonprofit executive in Louisville, Ky.
Celebrities including Matt Damon, Daniel Craig, Michelle Pfeiffer, and
Jerry Seinfeld shared their gratitude experiences with Kaplan. She began
her own experiment with gratitude by deciding she would be grateful for my
husband. I focused on appreciating him and saying thanks more. He
responded by doing the same, and with the good vibes between us, we
started feeling much closer and having more fun.
In the book, she explores how gratitude can transform every aspect of a
persons life, with sections on marriage, love, and family; money, career, and
the stuff we own; health; and coping, caring, and connecting. It is not, promises Kaplan, done from a spiritual perspective. Its written for people like me
who are busy with life and, while we know we should appreciate it, often forget to. Hopefully, the book will show readers they can stop and take control of
their lives, they dont have to wait for something wonderful to happen.
The Gratitude Diaries is Kaplans lucky 13th book. It was truly transformative for me. Ive never written a book that could have a profound effect on
peoples lives, and Ive been so touched by the early commentsfriends have
called me to say, do you know what this made me do today? Gratitude is a
topic thats in the zeitgeist. As soon as you mention it, people cant wait to
hear more about it.

Scott Westerfeld
Investigating Crowd Power
A group of teens with unusual abilities are catapulted from zero to hero status in a YA trilogy
that kicks off with Zeroes (Simon Pulse, Sept.),
written by a trio: Scott Westerfeld, Margo
Lanagan, and Deborah Biancotti.
Zeroes is a new spin on the notion of crowdbased, explains Westerfeld, author of the
Uglies series and Leviathan trilogy, who initially hashed out the premise with Biancotti.
Deb and I got talking about friends of ours
who are TV writers and work as a group in a
room together, yelling at each other all day,
Westerfeld recalls. As prose writers and novelists, we mostly work on own, and we began
talking about how different it must be to activate that social part of your brain while
involved in an artistic process. So we co-opted Margo and got her involved,
started meeting at a pub once a week or so drinking beer and talking about
this book we wanted to write together.
This literary crowd of three decided to write a novel about teens whose
superpowers are crowdbased in some way. We came up with a cast of characters whose powers become stronger in a crowd, says Westerfeld. One is
blind when hes alone, but can see through anyone elses eyes, so becomes

becomes invisible in a crowd.
Each of the three authors was responsible for fleshing out two of Zeroess
six main protagonists, for whom they created detailed character studies.
We never actually sat down together to write, but we e-mailed a lot to one
another, Westerfeld says. And after the character studies were finished
and wed begun writing the story, we realized we really needed an outline,
and went off to spend some time in the Australian bush to create one.
The trilogys premise is well tailored to its collaborative creation, says
Westerfeld. When you think about it, collaboration is the human superpower, he muses. We cant actually fly, but when we have thousands of
people building airports and designing airplanes and learning to be pilots,
we can fly. With Zeroes, Barb and Margo and I are collaborating on a book
that is essentially about the power of collaboration.

Paolo Bacigalupi
The Future Is Now
The 2009 award-winning bestseller (including a Hugo and a Nebula) The

Windup Girl (Skyhorse), by Paolo Bacigalupi, is back. It surprised the science
fiction community by its achievement. enjoying consistently high sales for
the past five years. Bacigalupis formula for success is linked to his expertise
in envisioning the big picture while detailing the nuances of timely issues,
those current environmental events which his ability to extrapolate leaves a
chilling message. My job as a fiction writer is to popularize and visceralize,
to make up a word and turn the abstract, very esoteric but important news
into stories. I want to hook people into these topics, entertain, reconnect,
and inform them, he says.

One doesnt have to be a fan of science fiction
to read Bacigalupis works. His writing, characters, and settings reveal exciting, environmentally minded literary fictionextrapolative fiction as Bacigalupi calls itwhich is why Skyhorse is publishing a trade paperback, under
its Night Shades Books imprint, with more
mainstream appeal, starting with the cover
design. Additionally, the new edition will
include two unpublished stories by Bacigalupi,
and an insightful author q&a.
Bacigalupis new novel, The Water Knife
(Knopf, May), is no less intriguing and near
futuristic. Set in the American Southwest, this
dystopian thriller stirs a cocktail of environmentalism, capitalism, corruption, and greed in a fast-paced, dark, and ominous tale of caution. At the
heart of this story is water, considered more precious than gold. The partitioning and theft of water from the dwindling Colorado River further
presses the haves against the have-nots and leads to war among the Southwestern states. Violence, death, and secret pacts ensue, permanently
threatening any future for the people. Bacigalupis sharp awareness of
politically charged environmental issues forges the here and now into a
world that could all too well be real. Im apparently obsessed with resource
scarcities, Bacigalupi admits. Does this mean we might we see the selling
of water shares by the ounce on the stock market? In a way we already do
what with the privatization of water by big companies, he replies.
The author will tour the U.S. this summer to promote The Water Knife and
the newly expanded edition of The Windup Girl. Today at 10 a.m., Bacigalupi is
signing copies of The Water Knife in the Knopf booth (3119), and at 3 p.m., he
will sign the expanded edition of The Windup Girl in Skyhorses booth (745).

Paul Russos wife just died. While trying to get his familys life
back in order, Paul is being tormented by a demon who is holding
his wifes spirit hostage on the other side. His fate is intertwined
with an old haunted mansion on the north shore of Long Island
called Stillwell Manor. Paul must find clues dating back hundreds
of years to set his wifes soul free.
Award winning and best-selling
author Michael Phillip Cash has
eight novels to date. Stillwell
won Honorable Mention for The Book of the Year
Foreword Review 2014. He currently lives on the
North Shore with his wife and two children.
Author of the bestselling middle-grade Sisters Grimm and Nerds series,

Michael Buckley enters the YA arena with Undertow (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, May), the first in a planned trilogy about a teenage girl caught in a
clash between civilizations. The opening scene of the novel may give timid
summer beach readers pause: a society of undersea warriors marches out
of the ocean into modern-day Coney Island, transforming the area into a
military zone with humans on one side and the
aquatic creatures on the other.
The novels premise sprang from several
sources, says Buckley. I had a dream about an
army of people walking out of the water onto a
beach where a boy was building a sand castle,
he recalls. But I didnt know what to do about
it. Then soon after that, I read about a group of
immigrants, including a number of children,
who arrived by boat on U.S. shores, I think
from South America. Officials didnt know
what to do with them, so they housed them in a
prison indefinitely. And I began wondering if
our country really is a melting pot, and if we
really do take the idea of giving us your huddled masses seriously? So, I put both those
ideas together into a big, dystopian love story mixed with some societal
messages.
As Undertow took shape, Buckley realized that, though he initially tried
to wrestle it into a middle-grade novel, the concepts and ideas that
demanded to be a part of the story targeted it for young adults. He then had
to face his creative fears: I asked myself, Can I actually write a YA novel
and can I write this one? How does a 45-year-old man convincingly write
about the passions of a teenage girl? It was important for me to get it right
and not be creepy.
For advice, Buckley turned to two New York City friends and veteran YA
authors, Adele Griffin and Rebecca Searle. I couldnt have written Undertow without their help and cheerleading, he says. And hes confident that
making the leap into YA was a good move for him. Middle grade is a place
Ive felt very safe this past decade, but I didnt become a writer to play it
safe, he says. I want to grow and challenge myself as an artistor maybe I
just have too many ideas and want to try many different things.

Brian Panowich comes to BEA this year to sign

copies of his debut novel, Bull Mountain (Putnam, July), inspired by his wifes heritage in
North Georgia. I fell in love with the foothills

Bull Mountain is the story of the moonshine-running Burroughs family, with one
brother pitted against another in his efforts to
distance himself from his familys scandalous empire. Because of the brother
vs. brother dynamic, Bull Mountain is garnering comparisons to a modern-day Cain and Abel story. I didnt set out to write a story about brothers
so much as a story about family ties of all kinds, and the bloodlines that keep
them volatile, says Panowich. The women who are affected on the mountain are just as integral to the dynamic of this book as the brothers, and the
father-son relationships are the bones I built the story on. But, yes, I love the

Best known as the creator of SkippyJon Jones, the frisky Siamese who
thinks hes a Chihuahua, Judy Schachner has added a new member to her
family of animal characters. In Dewey Bob (Dial, Sept.), the title character is
a raccoon who lives alone in a house overflowing with beloved objects: buttons, wheels, furniture, and bric-a-brac that he finds and fixes, turning trash
into treasures. When he realizes theres one important thing his collection
is lackinga friendDewey Bob sets out to find one.
Ive always loved raccoons, says Schachner. In fact, I shared my first
apartment with a family of raccoons. Id hear them in the walls right behind
my bed at nightquite an otherworldly sound! And then the raccoon parents would bring their babies to
the window and hang on the
screens outside. I fed them
Oreos, and they ate them just
like human children do, separating the two sides of the cooking and licking the frosting.
Making Dewey Bob an
amasser of lost and tossed
things the world no longer has
use for was a natural move for
Schachner, who shares that
proclivity with her character.
Like Dewey, I am a collector of
various things that I like to
repurpose and rearrange, she
explains. He knows that the
one thing hes missing is a collection of friends, but as a nocturnal animal, when he meets
other animals in broad daylight, they get nervous and run
away from him. So he has to find a creative way to make a friend.
Though forever devoted to SkippyJon Jones, Schachner is pleased to
switch gears with Dewey Bob. This is a much gentler story, with a very different story line and style, she says. I still have stories to write about
Skippy, but I have so many other stories inside of me to tell that if I spent the
rest of my life just writing about Skippy I would not be a happy camper. And
Penguin has been so gracious and generous giving me free rein to create
this lovely character of Dewey Bob.
Schachner, who is working on a new Dewey Bob book, hopes that diehard
SkippyJon Jones fansespecially teacher members of what she calls the
Skippy cultembrace her raccoon character as well. When I first created
Skippy, I had done a number of books that did not involve animal characters,
she says. But SkippyJon was the character who caught fire. It made me realize that animal characters go directly to the hearts of kidsthey dont leave
anyone out. I hope readers identify with Dewey Bob in the same way.

biblical reference. Im sure Riley and Cooper Burroughs would, too.

Setting and dialogue, like character, is central to the themes of Bull
Mountain, particularly the cadence and culture of the South. I think language is important to any novel where the place serves just as significant a
role as the characters. In fact, that was always in the back of my mind
through the whole process. I wanted this story to be as authentically Georgian as possible, much like Philipp Meyers The Son is Texas. I wanted Bull
Mountain and North Georgia to be analogous for each other.
Panowich is thrilled to be a part of this years BEA, and still in awe of his

Introduce program, Panowich says, I cant wait to meet Libby Manthey of

Bull Mountain. Its a huge honor.

Anne Flett-Giordano
From PrimeTime to CrimeTime
The confluence of three disparate elements gave impetus to the writing of

Anne Flett-Giordanos first mystery novel, Marry, Kiss, Kill (Prospect Park
Books, June), which debuts a series featuring Nola MacIntire, deputy chief
of detectives in Santa Barbara, Calif., and her partner, Det. Tony Angellotti.
The Emmy-winning TV writer and producer, whose credits include Fraser,
Desperate Housewives, and Kate & Allie, tells

Show Daily about a local Santa Barbara street
musician who made an impression on her 20
years ago. Hed make up songs about everyone walking bywhat they were wearing, who
they were talking toand then one day about
10 years later, I noticed he wasnt there. There
were flowers and cards and tributes where he
used to sing. He died of cancer, but it got me
thinking, What if he sang about the wrong
person? And that idea has always been free
floating in my mind.
Another prompter was a group of male college friends with whom shes been e-mailing
for years. They were being nasty in a funny
sort of way, and I said, Im going to write a book and make you all bad guys
in it.
The final element: she resigned from her latest show, Hot in Cleveland,
to take care of her mother, who had fallen ill. Her mom died two weeks
later, and though the show executives asked her to return to her job, FlettGiordano felt she could only handle two days a week. Suddenly I had all
this time on my hands, as well as that little plot about the street singer and
a desperate need to prove to these guy friends that I could write a book and
make fun of them.
Being part of the collaborative business of TV sitcom writing for so many
years, she was struck by the contrast in working on a novel. Its really
lonely writing a book. Thats the biggest difference. And of course I didnt
have a deadline. On a television show you cant have dead air, so you are on
a deadline constantly. Also, you know its going on TV, and you can see how
many people watch it. When youre writing a book you think, Is anybody

The Architect Who Builds Novels

Charles Belfoures writing career began when
he wrote his thesis while studying for an M.A.
in architecture at Columbia University. While
hed done a lot of drawing in his bid to become
a professional architect, it was the first time,
he says, that he actually wrote anything of any
significant length. Belfoure got hooked on
writing, he says, because its fun to make stuff
up. After taking a job as an architect in Baltimore, specializing in historic preservation,
Belfoure started writing fiction on the side.
The plot, he says, of his two novelsThe
Paris Architect (Sourcebooks, 2013) and House
of Thieves (Sourcebooks, Sept.), revolves
around the world of an architect. Theres precedent for basing stories on the profession of
the writer, he insists, pointing out that John Grisham was a practicing attorney with no writing background when he started writing legal thrillers:
And he does okay for himself.
While The Paris Architect takes place during WWII, House of Thieves is set
in 1886 New York City. A high society architect is blackmailed by a gang of
thieves into helping the criminals rob mansions and museums that he has
designed, and he comes to enjoy being a scofflaw a little too much. There
are many reasons, Belfoure explains, that he wanted to set this novel in New
York City and in the late 19th century. First, he says, the architecture of the
Gilded Age is his favorite, and since he once lived in New York City, he
knows its neighborhoods well. His reasons for including a criminal element
in his second novel are a little more colorful: Belfoure has always been
intrigued by George Leslie, a 19th-century architect who became a bank
robber because he liked that more, and hes also wondered what it would
be like to be pulled into the criminal underworld ever since he brushed
shoulders with a Mafia kingpin while working on the mans house. Belfoure
insists that he was kept at arms length and did not participate in any
criminal activity, but says that he observed what was going on and it has
stayed with him for the past two decades. The threat of violence enhances
productivity, Belfoure says. Employees and contractors showed up on
time, they got things done, they were reliable. They were scared.

Amy Stewart
Gardening Expert to Debut Novelist

When gardening writer Amy Stewart was
researching The Drunken Botanist (Algonquin, 2013), about the intersection of botany
and booze, she came across Henry Kaufman, a
gin smuggler from a hundred years ago.
Although she hasnt been able to verify that
hes the same Kaufman who ran a silk-dyeing
factory in Paterson, N.J., and got into an overthe-top dispute with three sistersConstance, Norma, and Fleurette Koppafter his
car hit their horse-drawn carriage, Stewart
was hooked. She even switched genres to historical fiction to tell the story in the voice of
Constance in Girl Waits with Gun (Houghton
Mifflin Harcourt, Sept.).
As the title, which is taken from a newspaper headline of the time, indicates, Stewart hasnt forsaken research to
make her fiction debut. I spent the first year or two doing nothing but
research. That was all familiar territory to me, Stewart says. I started with
a New York Times article and used genealogical records going all the way
back to Germany. Im very big on going back to primary sources.
Part of the reason for the genre shift was that the historical records
werent complete, and to make a more compelling story she needed to be
able to take liberties. My ambition was to take what really happened and

think Im going to stumble on anything like this again. These women
grabbed me, says Stewart, who is already at work on a sequel.

Chris Waters Dunn &

Cappy Lawton
Food Writers Were Country Music Singers
A tortilla rolled around, say, chicken and smothered in a blanket of gloppy,
neon-hued cheese is the image typically conjured when thinking of the
enchilada. But Texas-bred Chris Waters Dunn and Cappy Lawton wanted to
delve beyond such a simplistic notion of the cantina favorite in Enchiladas:
Aztec to Tex-Mex (Trinity, Oct.).
I was brought up on what we thought were enchiladasand personally, I
really like the Tex-Mex style; its a native foreign food. But then I traveled
through Mexico, and I saw how truly great the enchilada can be. Each
region has its own version, says Lawton, the proprietor of Cappys Restaurant, in San Antonio, Tex.
Dunn, a country music singerturnedfood writer, notes that there are
ample books devoted to Mexican cuisine, yet none focus solely on the piv-

otal role and evolution of the

enchilada. Its a simple, everyday food that embodies thousands of years of Mexican life.
The subject was just too important to not be explored and documented. People need to be
made aware of the enchiladas
complexity and depth, he
explains.
In addition to the comprehensive lore and recipes, to
authentically honor the traditional cocina Dunn and Lawton
also show readers how to make,
from scratch, the likes of beans
and queso fresco, the enchiladas classic accompaniments.
Over the course of their
research, the duo were perhaps most struck by the enchiladas deep roots.
For example, the enfrijolada, essentially a version of the enchilada in which
a bean puree is served over tortillas, traces back to 7,000 B.C., while enchiladas teeming with meats like beef, pork, and goat are direct reflections of
Mexicos Spanish conquest.
The authors will host a chips and salsa party in booth 1042 today, at 11
a.m., where homemade corn tortilla-making kits will be available for the
first 100 booksellers, and all visitors can enter to win a free trip for two to

DAY
Four Decades for

Inner Traditions
Were happy to report that our
company is thriving, so we truly have
something to celebrate, says John
Hays, director of sales and marketing at Inner Traditions/Bear &
Company in Rochester, Vt., about
the presss 40th birthday.
Inner Traditions had its biggest
year in the companys history in 2013,
and over the past 10 years, sales
have more than doubled, according
to founder Ehud Sperling. International sales have contributed to
those increases thanks to new distribution agreements with Simon &
Schuster in the U.K., India, Latin
America, and Asia. Bestsellers like
T.K.V. Desikachars The Heart of Yoga,
Rick Strassmans DMT: The Spirit
Molecule, and Kurt Schnaubelts
The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils have also kept the press in
the black. Weve been fortunate to
regularly grow and be profitable,
Sperling says.
Many of the books contributing to
those profits were published years
ago. Inner Traditions has kept almost
Ehud Sperling
all of the books it publishes in print,

which has given it a backlist of 1,500
titles. Because it only publishes
books that will backlist well, Hays
refers to the press as an instant
backlist publisher.
Inner Traditions is also committed to experimenting with formats
and marketing. Although the press
emphasizes high-quality print editions of its titles, about 18% of its
sales are from e-books. This fall it
also plans to test the audio market.
In addition, it has maintained its
commitment to the Spanish-language book market and publishes
72 books in English, four in Spanish,
each year. And it continues to test
consignment with five bookstores,
including most recently Books &

Books in Coral Gables, Fla.
Being a green publisher is important to Sperling. Rather than print
primarily on recycled paper, which
he thinks should be reserved for
more disposable print media likes
newspapers and advertising circulars, he is an advocate for virgin
paper for books. As an alternative
to recycled paper, Sperling prefers
to plant trees. In 2007 he set up a
reforestation project in Costa Rica
called Hacienda Rio Cot as a way
to give back to the planet. More
recently the press installed a solar
farm near its offices to provide 100%
of its electrical needs in Vermont.
Sperling, who is in his 60s, sees the
next big challenge as transitioning
the company to a younger generation. His son has expressed interest

in following him into mind, body,
spirit publishing, but is still a year
from completing high school. So any
management changes will be further down the road, and Sperling
has no plans to leave anytime soon.
To mark its first four decades,
Inner Traditions is offering a special backlist discount at its booth
(1051). It will also be highlighting a
number of upcoming books, including the 10th anniversary edition of
Marc Davids The Slow Down Diet
(Aug.); Stephen Schwartzs The
Eight Laws of Change (Sept.); and
Barbara Hand Clows Revelations of
the Ruby Crystal (July), a debut
novel from the cofounder of Bear &
Judith Rosen
Company.

Press Finds Niche with Struggles in the Mideast

Haymarket Press, an independent
publisher with a commitment to
social justice, launched its first list
12 years ago with an edited anthology, The Struggle for Palestine,
including Edward Said, among others. Continuing the tradition, on
the list this fall are two particularly
timely books about Palestine, Steven Salaitas Uncivil Rites: Palestine
and the Limits of Academic Freedom (Sept.), and Remi Kanazis
Before the Next Bomb Drops: Rising
Up from Brooklyn to Palestine
(Sept.).
We have an editorial team which
is collectively responsible for these
titles, says Anthony Arnove, editor
and cofounder of the Chicago press
(its tag line is, Books for Changing
the World). While publishing books
on Palestine has always been an
important part of our editorial mission, this fall is exceptional in that
well be publishing six books on the
topic, which is the most weve ever
done in one season.
Successes from earlier years are
The Battle for Justice in Palestine,
by Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian-
American journalist and proponent of a one-state solution, and

a young adult novel, A Little
Piece of Ground, by the British
author Elizabeth Laird, about a
Palestinian boy who wants to
play soccer but comes up
against the obstacles of life
under occupation. Lairds book
has been very successful for us,
one of our top five all-time sellers, says Arnove. We take its
success as indicative of people
looking for an alternative point of
view, something mainstream
presses arent doing.
Steven Salaita, a former tenured
professor and now an independent
scholar, came into the national
spotlight after his 2014 termination
from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. The firing followed his tweet criticizing the
Israeli governments summer
assault on Gaza in the summer of
2014. His book Uncivil Rites mixes
personal reflection and political
critique to provide an analysis of his
controversial termination.
Salaitas book came to the press
MEET THE
AUTHOR
because of its past record on Palestine books. We were thrilled, Arnove says. The importance of his
voice, his casewe were very
impressed with him as a speaker.
We planned to approach him about
it, then we heard from Michael
Smith, a New York lawyer, who said
Steven had a manuscript, and he
recommended Haymarket, so it
was an exclusive submission. We
plan to set up a fall tour to college
campuses for Steven to speak
about the book and issues of academic freedom, free speech on
campus, and the movement for justice in Palestine.
Remi Kanazis Before the

Next Bomb Drops looks at
related issues, but Kanazi uses
poetry and performance art to
deliver his messages, which
comprise his feelings about
Palestine, Israeli occupation,
U.S. militarism, drone bombing
campaigns, divestment on college campuses, mass incarceration, apathy and inaction
within the U.S. and global society, along with other hot-topic
issues.
According to press publicist Jim
Plank, the press has not gotten any
particular flack for its publication
program around these issues: Of
course, some of our authors have
been criticized or attacked for their
views, but the same authors have
also won awards and have been
invited to speak all over the world.
Both Salaita and Kanazi will be at
the Haymarket booth (638) in the
Consortium area today at 1 p.m.
and for several hours following.
Kanazi will be signing a limited edition print of one of his poems.

Getting Wild
Who doesnt like a good Horatio
Alger story? Not that Smith College grad Meredith Wild was ever
exactly in rags, but still shes living
a type of rags-to-riches dream.
The self-published, tech-savvy
author did extremely well on her
own with her Hacker series featuring businesswoman Erica
Hathaway and her captivating billionaire love interest, Blake
Landon; it sold 1.2 million e-books
and 200,000 print-on-demand
trade paperbacks. This past
spring, Wild signed a seven-figure
deal with Forever (an imprint with

Grand Central Publishing) that
includes the re-release of her first
four books in the series as
e-books and trade paperbacks,
as well as the launch of the series
finale, Hard Love, coming out
September 15.
Leah Hultenschmidt, editorial
director for GCPs Forever and
Forever Yours imprints, notes,
When her book, Hard Limit, the
fourth in the Hacker series, hit #1
on the New York Times bestseller
list, she was certainly on everyones
radar. I called her agent, Kimberly

Brower, at the Rebecca Friedman
Agency to congratulate Meredith
and ask if she wanted to work with
a publisher. At the time, Kimberly
told me there was no interest.
But then a few weeks later Hultenschmidt talked to a bookseller
who said that Wilds self-published
trade paperback editions were flying off the shelves and that she
hadnt seen movement like that
since the early editions of 50
Shades of Grey, when it first came
in from a small Australian publisher. So Hultenschmidt pursued
Wild and her agent. Eventually,
they realized how much a pub-
BIRCH BLAZE PHOTOGRAPHY
DAY
BOOTH #651
lisher could add to a partnership.

Meredith wouldnt have to worry
about inventory, about doing all
the marketing on her own, and
that the publicity connections our
team had could be a great asset for
her, which has certainly turned out
to be true. In fact, the author
appeared in a feature story on CBS
This Morning last week.
Wild concurs. The decision to
transition the Hacker series to a
traditional publisher ended up
being as much a personal decision as a business decision. I was
spending a lot more time on the
business end of things when I
wanted to focus on writing books.
I feel confident that GCP/Forever
is the right partner to help
expand the reach of the series and
expose more readers through
national media outreach and having the books available on shelves
in more bookstore chains like
Target and BAM.
Forever certainly has high hopes
for Wilds final book in the series:
the print run for Hard Love is
200,000. Show Daily asks if Wilds
category is appropriately called
erotic fiction. Hultenschmidt
laughs and replies, Id just call it
super steamy.
Today, Wild signs copies of
Hardwired, the first book in her
Hacker series, in the autograph
area at Table 11, 34 p.m. Tomorrow she moves on to BookCon,
signing Hardwired in the Hachette
booth (3019) at 10 a.m. Later that
day, she will be joining fellow
romance writers Elizabeth Hoyt,
Jill Shalvis, and S.C. Stevens in
the autograph area at Tables 7 and
8, 2:30 p.m. Wild will be signing
copies of Hardpressed, second in
her Hacker series, which will be
available for sale there.

Indie Booksellers Favor

Social Media
While mobs of booksellers and others thronged BEA booths yesterday afternoon, about 100 booksellers focused their attention on representatives from
four indies Bookpeople, Literati, Parnassus Books, and Tattered Cover
who have led the way in integrating social media into their stores business
models.
While the four booksellers emphasized using social media to promote the
store and engage with the community in an irreverent and fun way, finding
the right balance is of supreme importance, as what is posted online reflects
upon the store.
Mike Gustafson, the owner of Literati in Ann Arbor, Mich., who opened his
store two years ago, set the tone for the panel. He emphasized that the best way
for a business that sells stories is to reach customers through storytelling.
Gustafson said he uses social media to tell stories about the store and its
staff as a way for the community to become familiar with both. He mixes
comments about store news and events with personal anecdotes, such as
one about his wife and store co-owner being commended by the police for
preventing a mugging that almost took place outside Literati.
Gustafson also uses social media to engage his customers. People love to
see creativity run amuck, he said, explaining that he posts notes that are
left by customers typing on the vintage typewriter inside the store.
Bookpeople in Austin, Tex., is a community fixture in a city that is struggling to keep weird, and Julie Wernerbach, the stores marketing director,
said that social media is a tool used to both introduce customers to the store
and to provide a window into the book world.
The Tattered Cover also uses social media to promote the store and the
550 events it does annually. Heather Duncan, Tattered Covers director of
marketing, noted its important to actively engage with the customer, and
the store works hard to intersperse things we find interesting with event
promotions meant to pull people into the store.
Laura Philpott, who maintains social media for Nashvilles Parnassus
Books, agreed with the other speakers, noting that social media is about
building community. Social media, Philpott said, is a way to extend our
store hours and extend our store footprint.
While its difficult to gauge how effective social media outreach is, except
anecdotally, Philpott noted that since Parnassus started aggressively using
social media to reach out to customers and to potential customers, online
sales were up 9% in 2014 and up more than 16% during the holiday season.

A Sports Triumph
It would be hard to find a more passionate person about his or her work
than Mitch Rogatz, founder, president, and publisher of Triumph Books, but
when youre doing what you love, the enthusiasm shines through. Triumph
has been in business for 26 years, and as Rogatz puts it, We are the leading
publisher of sports books in the world. We micro-publish, we go to the
regional level because sports is all about emotions. Sports means connecting with your local team.
Rogatz entered the business world as a CPA with
Arthur Anderson, got his M.B.A., did some consulting
work, and decided to partner with a small press. He
approached Mike Ditka, coach of the Chicago Bears,
about doing a project, which resulted in Mike Ditka:
An Autobiography. He formed Triumph Books shortly
thereafter. One thing lead to another and I got
momentum and publishing relationships with the
NCAA, the NHL, the NFL, and so on. I started building my brand on the shoulders of other brands. We
built a well-focused, modest-sized publishing company, and found a little
niche and a formula that seems to worknot always, but most the time.
A perfect example is one of Triumphs milestones from 2001, a book about
the great racing car driver, Dale Earnhardt. Rogatz was in Wisconsin on a
family vacation when a colleague phoned and told him that Earnhardt had
died in a crash at the Daytona 500. Says Rogatz, He added that Walmart had
just called up and wanted to know if we were publishing a book about him. I
didnt know who this guy was, and I thought, If Walmart wants a book, he
must be someone. Triumph published Dale Earnhardt: Always A Champion three days later, and a week after that it hit #1 on the New York Times
bestseller list. It sold 163,000 copies.
Here at BEA, Triumph (booth 2841) is handing out a limited number of
ARCs of Giants Among Men: Y.A., L.T., the Big Tuna, and Other New York
Giants Stories (Sept.), by Pulitzer Prizewinning Ira Berkow, and the October reprint about hockey goaltending legend Patrick Roy, Patrick Roy: WinHilary S. Kayle
ning, Nothing Else, by his father, Michael Roy.
DAY
Adult big books continued from p. 1
contemporary novelists, and his

latest work is no exception. Im
hoping that Harriet Chance is the
book that breaks him out entirely.
Luisa Smith, buying director for
Book Passage in Corte Madera,
Calif., says that she loves the fall
season and is excited about several
wonderful titles, including Above
the Waterfall, by Ron Rash (Ecco,
Sept.). Smith adds that it was really
difficult to choose among so many
books. I guess that means its going
to be a great season.
Paul Yamazaki, head buyer at
City Lights Books in San Francisco,
has many favorites, but gives his top
picks as In the Country, by Mia Alvar
(Knopf, June)This young Filipina
writers first book, a collection of stories, is magnificent, he says.
Of Dragonfish, by Vu Tran (Norton, Aug.), a young Vietnamese-American writer, Yamazaki
comments, This is great. Its a book
that should be talked about. Its
very different from Walter Mosley,
but it gave me the same sense as
Devil in a Blue Dress.
And he says about Jonathan
Galassis Muse (Knopf, June): Its
tremendous. For anyone interested
in the world of literary publishing,
this book is a must and its coming
from one of our great editors.
And finally, one of the reason we
love booksellers, Yamazaki mentions Beauty Is a Wound, by Eka Kurniawan (New Directions, Sept.). I
know nothing about it. This is why I
come to New York [for BEA]. Kathy
Jesson, from Black Bond Books in
Surrey, B.C., Canada, is hot for Circling the Sun, by Paula McLain (Random House, July). Its a great book.
Its better than The Paris Wife. Were
really looking forward to selling it.
Its fabulous. Everyone in the store is
raving about it.
Theres big buzz from booksellers
around a small press hit, translated
from the Spanish, The Story of My
Teeth, by Valeria Luiselli (Coffee
House, Sept.). Jeremy Garber,
events coordinator at Powells in
Portland, Ore., casts a vote for The
Story of My Teeth. Its dazzling, its
tremendous.
Judith Lafitte, co-owner of Octavia Books in New Orleans, is taken
by The Muralist, by B.A. Shapiro
(Algonquin, Nov.). Im so excited
about the author. Shes really great.
And I like Algonquin. They put out
great books. Theyre very classy.
Melinda Powers from Bookshop
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, Calif., is
touting Claire Vaye Watkinss debut
novel, Gold Flame Citrus (Riverhead, Oct.). Shes a fantastic writer.
Jonathan Welch, Talking Leaves
Books, Buffalo, N.Y., picks Bonnie
Jo Campbells Mothers Tell Your
Daughters (Norton, Oct.). I think
shes a really good writer, and
under-appreciated.
Sarah Goddin, general manager
of Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, N.C.,
says, I am a huge Louise Penny fan.

Shes so smart. The Nature of the
Beast (Minotaur, Sept.) has such a
great French-Canadian sense, with
a lot of humanity in her characters.
Ann Salisbury, bookseller from
Bienville Books, Mobile, Ala., is
excited about Rick Braggs new
book, Southern Journey: True
Stories from the Heart of the South
(Oxmoor House, Sept.). I love
everything he writes. If you want a
Southern voice, thats him. Plus
hes local. This book is a must-have,
especially for my store.
And from Anmiryam Budner,
bookseller from Main Point Books,
Bryn Mawr, Pa.: Im looking for-
ward to A.S. Kings newest novel, I

Crawl Through It (Little, Brown,
Sept.), which sounds like it will
have her characteristic alchemy of
smart writing, intriguing characters, and willingness to confront the
pain of growing up with a hint that
there is something better ahead.
Budner awaits the new Elena
Ferrante novel, The Story of the Lost
Child, but that goes without saying.
Finally, there is a debut fantasy
novel from Tor books, Last Song
Before Night, by Ilana C. Myer
(Oct.), which imagines a world in
which songs are magical, but as a
dark threat to the world looms,
musicians must find a way to make
songs something more than just

words and music. Ive heard great
thingscant wait to read it!
PWs Bookseller of the Year for
2015, Mitchell Kaplan, of Books &
Books in Coral Gables, Fla., focused
on the offerings by small presses,
including Sofrito, by Phillippe
Diederich (Cinco Puntos, June),
whom he described as a great
writer who happens to hail from
Miami. Were going to do really
well with this, Kaplan said, noting,
there are a lot of good Miami writers out there.
Matt Norcross, co-owner of
McLean & Eakin Books, in
Petoskey, Mich., is excited about

The Nonsense Show and Happy! a
photographic picture book based
on Pharrell Williamss hit song.
Matt Norcross of McLean & Eakin
Booksellers in Petoskey, Mich.,
raved about The Thing About Jellyfish, by Ali Benjamin (Little, Brown,
Sept.). It will tear your heart out,
he said. It could be the next Bridge
to Terabithia.
Jamie Tan at Candlewick noted

significant interest in Honor Girl
(Sept.), a graphic novel memoir by
first-time-author Maggie Thrash.
Its depiction of adolescence hurts,
but it is so great, said Tan. Also
popular was M.T. Andersons Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of
Leningrad, the National Book
Award winners first nonfiction title
MEET
LOWELL H. PRESS,
author of the enthralling
middle grade fantasy
THE KINGDOM OF
THE SUN AND MOON
SIGNING IN BOOTH #3046 (IBPA)

FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2:00 - 2:30 P.M.
First-time author Press creates a

complex and absorbing world of mouse
kingdoms set against the grounds of
Viennas Schnbrunn Palace . . . (and)
keeps the story scampering along with
humor and persistent threats in the
form of owls, cats, and rival rodents.

and first book in seven years.

There werent any galleys of
Rainbow Rowells Carry On at
the show, but that didnt stop visitors from requesting them. Rowell
opted out of ARCs, wanting readers to come to her Fangirl companion fresh, with no spoilers,
said Macmillans Kristine Jaeger.
For Scholastic, Brian Selznicks
The Marvels (Sept.), an adventure
story that blends two narratives, one
told through illustrations, and the
other through prose, has been a
show-stealer. According to Charisse
Meloto, galleys were swept up by fans,
librarians, and booksellers in a matter of seconds.
At Random House, readers lined
up for hefty hardcover galleys of
Illuminae, first in a futuristic series
by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.
Everything Everything, by debut
author Nicola Yoon, has also seen
growing enthusiasm at the show,
while on the picture book side, I Will
Chomp You! by Jory John, illustrated
by Bob Shea, is seeing a lot of love.
Lizzy Mason at Bloomsbury was
seeing strong interest in Aime
Carters Simon Thorn and the Wolfs
Den, the authors first middle-grade
novel, which she described as reminiscent of the Spirit Animals series,
as well as another middle-grade
debut, A Curious Tale of the In-Between, from YA author Lauren
DeStefano.
While the biggest book at the
Abrams booth was Old School, Jeff
Kinneys 10th Wimpy Kid book, due
in November, Jason Wells said that
visitors were excited to see a book
from the Bands Robbie Robertson,
Hiawatha and the Peacemaker,
illustrated by David Shannon.
Julie Murphys Dumplin, the
story of a plus-size girl whose
mother runs a longstanding Texas
beauty pageant, was sought after at
HarperCollins, according to Nellie
Kurtzman. Its not an issues book.
Its a be-your-own-damn-self book,
she said. Also big for Harper is The
Doldrums, an illustrated middle-grade
debut from Nicholas Gannon; Patrick Nesss The Rest of Us Just Live
Here; and Rae Carsons trilogy
opener, Walk on Earth a Stranger.
Leo, a picture book from Mac
Barnett and Christian Robinson,
sees the longtime friends and San
Francisco neighbors collaborating
for the first time. Chronicles Lara
Starr said that when a bookseller
from local indie Diesel saw the
book, she said, Holy cash registers,
Batman! Even though author Hannah Moskowitz has a cult following
of YA readers, Starr noted an
increased interest in the History of
Glitter and Blood after School
Library Journals Day of Dialog on
Wednesday. Inspired by the French
Resistance during WWII, its a high
fantasy in which fairies hold out
against troll invaders.
Benjamin Schuster, manager of
DAY
E-books in libraries continued from p. 5
2nd & Charles in Hagerstown, Md.,

stood in line to meet Brandon Mull,
promoting The Caretakers Guide to
Fablehaven (Shadow Mountain). He
was also excited to hear about True
Heroes (Shadow Mountain, Sept.), a
collection featuring 21 authors telling modern-day fairy tales about
children with cancer.
Weve had tons of people coming
to the booth asking about it, said
HMHs Karen Walsh, of Erin Bowmans Vengeance Road, a western
due out in September. Walsh credits the authors strong online presence to driving interest in the title
at the show. Booksellers were also
asking about Newbery Honorwinner Gary D. Schmidts forthcoming
novel, Orbiting Jupiter; a contemporary realistic debut for Estelle
Laure, This Raging Light; Joelle
Charbonneaus Need, about social
media gone horribly awry; and
Audrey and Don Woods The Full
Moon at the Napping House, a companion to their bestselling 1984 picture book, The Napping House.
One of the biggest middle-grade
titles for Simon & Schuster is Kevin
Sandss The Blackthorn Key, a mystery involving alchemy. Show visitors were also looking for galleys of
Kenneth Oppels The Nest, illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Jon
Klassen, about a boy who makes a
deal with a wasp to help his ailing
baby sibling. On the YA side, Erin
Bows The Scorpion Rules is being
seen as a breakout book for the
author, set in a dystopian future
where the children of world leaders
are held hostage to dissuade their
parents from starting wars.
At Workman, Polar, a lenticular
title from the team behind Safari
and Ocean, is expected to be a
major fall title; the first two in the
series have sold more than 700,000
copies to date, according to Noreen
Herits. Attendees were also interested in How to Tell a Story, written
and devised by Workman director
of childrens publishing Daniel Nayeri, and illustrated by Brian Won.
Rachel Hochberg of Childrens
Book World in Haverford, Pa., was
eager to get her hands on a copy of
Goodbye Stranger, by Rebecca
Stead (Random/Lamb, Aug.), and
Samurai Rising (Charlesbridge,
Feb. 2016), an illustrated biography
of Japanese general Minamoto
Yoshitsune, by Pamela S. Turner,
illustrated by Gareth Hinds. Clarissa Murphy, childrens bookseller
at Brookline Booksmith, was looking forward to getting Newts Emerald, by Garth Nix (HarperCollins/
Tegen, Oct.), and Hunter, by Mercedes Lackey (Disney-Hyperion,
Sept.). Murphy added that it was
her first BEA, and while its insane,
its not as overwhelming as I
thought. John A. Sellers, Natasha
Gilmore, Matia Burnett, and Diane
Roback
Pitchford, whose consortium serves 1,300 member

libraries across the state, urged more work with consortia like hers. We have such reach, she said, suggesting that libraries could be a strong beta test ground
for e-books in communities, and posited that those
library e-book users would become retail customers,
tooa win/win.
HarperCollins head of sales Josh Marwell, who pioneered the 26-lend model for e-books in 2011, says he
viewed the state of library e-books as half-full, and
stressed that library e-book sales have been steadily
rising. Were actually making progress, he said. I
think a lot of the issues raised here today do need to be
resolved, but we are making progress.
The biggest obstaclespricewas discussed, but the
panel mostly agreed that making the e-book experience
easierboth for libraries managing their collections
and for users accessing themwas the key challenge,
which Biblioboards Andrew Roskill addressed head-on.

Librarians dont like to disappoint people, Roskill
said. The result being that to meet demand they license
more copies of e-books priced at five to 15 times retail
price, which they then, eventually, have to re-license.
Thats both an unsustainable model from a budget perspective, but also an ineffective strategy because it
serves only hardcore library users, rather than appealing to and bringing in new users. He urged publishers to
think outside their comfort zone and see libraries as
valuable marketing tools.
To be perfectly frank, on the publisher side the biggest obstacle is inertia, Roskill said. Libraries sales as
a percentage of their total revenues is not that big, so I
dont think the big five executives have much incentive
to try something different. It seems like after four or five
years in we are still talking about [e-books] as if it is a
Andrew Albanese
big beta project.
