2011. A mass shooting at an exclusive retirement home shatters the “perfect” town of Campion, Connecticut. The shooter was a local man named Johnny Nations. 2015. A psychotherapist is dead. Detective Henry Peacher-a native of Campion-is investigating the death of Dr. Michael Cowden-his first homicide since he was promoted to detective in the aftermath of the shooting. Henry was the first on the scene that day and is considered a hero. But as he begins to investigate, he is stunned to learn that Dr. Cowden treated Johnny Nations twenty years ago. He also treated-at around the same time-a girl named Nadine Ramsey, whom Henry remembers from high school. Shortly before his death, Dr. Cowden had pulled both of their old files. Nadine Ramsey quickly starts to look like the prime suspect. After a twenty-year absence, Nadine was mysteriously back in town the week of the doctor’s death, but she seems to have fled, and her whereabouts are unknown. And of course-Henry remembers a violent incident-to which he was witness-that marked Nadine as “deeply troubled” when they were both teenagers. Despite all of the factors pointing to Nadine, Henry is distracted-even obsessed-by the details of Johnny Nations’ files. He wonders if Cowden understood how disturbed Nations was-or what he would eventually be capable of. But unraveling the mystery of Dr. Cowden means Henry will have to re-examine his actions on the tragic day of the shooting-and question his own character. EMILY ARSENAULT is also the author of THE BROKEN TEAGLASS, IN SEARCH OF ROSE NOTES, MISS ME WHEN I’M GONE and WHAT STRANGE CREATURES. She now lives in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, with her husband and daughter. Rights sold to THE EVENING SPIDER: Hebrew/Korim

"What you see here, what you hear here, what you do here, let it stay here.“ In 1942 June Walker, enticed by a longing to help win the war, arrives in Oak Ridge, TN hoping for a good job, some adventure, and to help the war effort. Oak Ridge is a city built in a matter of months-a town of muddy roads, 24 hour cafeterias, surprise security checks, and segregated housing. Workers are crowded together in "hutments" and though there's fun to be had, there's a furtive purposefulness to the work done there. Unlike June, her roommate, Ceci, doesn't care about the purpose of her job as long as it gives her the chance to flirt and find a husband. But June begins to wonder what the mysterious machines she operates 12 hours a day are doing. And when she discovers the truth about Oak Ridge she must confront her own ideals about truth and lies, loyalty and patriotism, and war itself.

A Theory of Love By Margaret Bradham Thornton A follow-up to her successful debut CHARLESTON, the perfect summer novel from Margaret Thornton—an honest, moving love story set in the glamorous landscapes of the rich and powerful

Imprint: Ecco Literary Fiction Page Count: 288 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins (CBR)

What does it mean to truly love someone? Do you give up who you were before you met them? Margaret Thornton plumbs the depths of fidelity, partnership, and happiness in A Theory of Love, an unforgettable story of two people trying to answer questions of the heart. Helen Gibbs, a journalist with London’s Sunday Times on assignment in the gorgeous coastal Mexican village of Bermeja, meets Christopher Delaveaux, an intriguing half-French, half-American lawyer-turned-investor spending the summer surfing in Bermeja for the first time since childhood. Helen and Christopher fall fast and hard, and, initially, their relationship appears to run as smoothly as sailboats gliding in the waters of St. Tropez, one of the many beautiful locales they travel to together. The two marry quickly at Helen’s parents’ country estate in Norfolk, England. As Christopher’s new high-powered investment job makes him less and less available to her, Helen begins to question everything she knows. Should she leave him and pursue more daring reporting work? Will he ever want to start a family? Meanwhile, Christopher's habit of keeping real life at arm’s length, the aftermath of a childhood tragedy, proves impossible with Helen in the picture. A THEORY OF LOVE brings to life some of the most picturesque places in the world—with swaying palm trees, clinking champagne glasses, ocean breezes and English manor houses—as effectively as it portrays the ups and downs of marriage. MARGARET THORNTON is the editor of TENNESSEE WILLIAM’S NOTEBOOKS, for which she received the Bronze ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award in the Autobiography/Memoir Category and the C.

Oh, how far she’s come…but how far will she have to go? Cheyenne, a beautiful recent Stanford grad, never planned to be on television. The vlogs were just for fun. But billionaire Edwin Gordon has just recruited her to be the new correspondent on his recently hatched Independent News Network, INN: “Because independent thinking is the only way out.” Some of the female staff resent her meteoric rise; some of the men are only too happy to welcome her. It all feels fraught, and even her mentor warns her to watch her back. Then there’s the diary left for her anonymously, written by a female broadcast journalist named Elyse Rohrbach in 1991. At first, it seems quaint—there aren’t even cell phones yet, and the World Wide Web has just debuted—and Cheyenne can’t see what it could possibly have to do with her. But as disturbing parallels begin to mount, Cheyenne doesn’t know if the diary was left by a well-meaning friend or a foe, if someone is engineering the similarities, if Cheyenne’s story as she lives it is actually being authored by someone else. Cheyenne realizes she has to figure out what’s really going on at INN if she wants to stay sane, and safe. Is she just a pawn in someone else’s game, or could she play her own? More than 25 years apart, Elyse and Cheyenne are learning the same lesson: Nothing is more threatening than a woman who doesn’t yet know her own power. HOLLY BROWN lives with her husband and daughter in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she’s a practicing marriage and family therapist. Her blog, “Bonding Time”, is featured on Psychcentral.com, a mental health website with 1.5 million visitors per month. Her novel, DON’T TRY TO FIND ME melds professional experience with personal fears. She started with a question: What could be more terrifying than having a runaway daughter? Answer: Exposing all your secrets in a media-saturated world in an effort to bring her back. 12

Storm for the Living and the Dead Uncollected and Unpublished Poems By Charles Bukowski A selection of some of Charles Bukowski's best unpublished and uncollected poems Charles Bukowski was an enormously prolific writer who produced short stories, novels, and poetry that have reached beyond their time and place to speak to generations of readers all over the world.

In STORM FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, Bukowski expert Abel Debritto has curated the very finest of this material-poems from hard-to-find magazines, as well as libraries and private collections all over the country-most of which will be new to his readers and some of which has never been seen before. In doing so, Debritto has captured the essence of Bukowski's inimitable poetic style-hilarious but poignant, tough but ringing with humanity. STORM FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD is a gift for any devotee of the Dirty Old Man of American letters.

Dictionary Stories Short Fictions and Other Findings By Jez Burrows A collection of very short stories composed of example sentences from various dictionaries, perfect for fans of The Lover’s Dictionary and The Interrogative Mood: A Novel? “Jez has long been one of my favorite illustrators, and now he comes up with Dictionary Stories—sentences stolen from dictionaries and pasted together into tiny, delightful narratives. A brilliant literary remix.” —Austin Kleon, New York Times bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist

Imprint: Harper Perennial Language Arts Page Count: 256 Pub Date: April 2018 Manuscript Available UK Rights: HarperCollins US Translation Rights: Ted Weinstein Literary (JLS)

One day, while looking up a word in the New Oxford American Dictionary, Jez Burrows was stopped in his tracks by an example sentence: “He perched on the edge of the bed, a study in confusion and misery.” It seemed like a tiny piece of fiction had gotten lost, wandered out of another book and settled down in the dictionary. With that spark, and a handful of experimental stories posted to Tumblr, Dictionary Stories was born. Genre-bending and wildly inventive, Dictionary Stories is a giddy celebration of the originality, flexibility, and beauty of narrative. Love stories, horror stories, noir mysteries, recipes, eulogies, confessions, thrillers—each one a miniature literary remix of unlikely parts hidden in plain sight, created by flipping through the dictionary and knowing where to stop. Burrows is a master of immersive, immediate narratives. Effortlessly transcending sentence level, he lights between the profound and the absurd with a few carefully assembled sentences, transporting readers into moments, worlds, and experiences of remarkable variety. From the everyday (dating, family, jealousy, memory) to the extraordinary (the apocalypse, fantasies, murder, the occult). Organized alphabetically by theme and featuring original illustrations by the author, this continually surprising and wonderfully weird collection glows with humor, emotion, and intellect. Dictionary Stories will speak to language lovers, creative minds, and anyone who has ever appreciated the power of small things.

JEZ BURROWS (b. 1986) is a British designer, illustrator, and writer.

Perfect for fans of THE GRACE OF KINGS , THE GOLEM AND THE JINNI, and THE QUEEN OF THE TEARLING. “A rich Middle Eastern fantasy...Against [a] syncretic yet nonderivative and totally credible backdrop, Chakraborty has constructed a compelling yarn of personal ambition, power politics, racial and religious tensions, strange magics, and terrifying creatures, culminating in a cataclysmic showdown that few readers will anticipate...Best of all, the narrative feels rounded and complete yet poised to deliver still more. Highly impressive and exceptionally promising.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Alfonse Carducci was a man of words, a literary giant who lived his life to excess--lovers, alcohol and parties and literary rivalries. But now he's come to the Bar Harbor Home for the Elderly to spend the remainder of his days among kindred spirits: the publishing industry's nearly gone but never forgotten greats, including his former lover, the fiery novelist Olivia Peppernell and his brilliant former editor (and lover) Judith Arsenault. Only now, at the end of life, does he comprehend the price of appeasing every desire, and the consequences of forsaking love to pursue greatness: Alfonse has an unshakeable case of writer's block that distresses him far more than his precarious health. Set on the water in one of New England's most beautiful locales, the Bar Harbor Home was established specifically for elderly writers needing a place to live out their golden years--or final days--in understand luxury and surrounded by congenial literary company. A faithful staff of nurses and ordelies surround the writers, and are drawn into their orbit, and forced to reckon with their own life stories. Among them are Cecibel Bringer, a young woman who knows first-hand the cost of chasing excess. A terrible accident destroyed her face and her sister in a split-second decision Cecibel can never forgive, though she tried to forget. Living quietly as an orderly, refusing to again risk the cost of love, Cecibel never anticipated the impact meeting her favorite writer, Alfonse Carducci, would have on her existence. In Cecibel, Alfonse finds a muse who returns him to the passion he thought he lost. As the words flow from him, weaving a tale taken up by the other residents of the Pen, Cecibel is reawakened to the idea of love and forgiveness. The edges between story and reality blur, creating a world within a world where the old are made young, the damaged are made whole, and anything is possible. TERRI-LYNNE DEFINO was born and raised in New Jersey, but escaped to the wilds of Connecticut where she still lives with her husband, and her cats. If you knock on her door, she'll invite you in and feed you. That's what Jersey Italian women do, because you can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can't take the Jersey out of the girl. She is the author of the Bitterly Suite romance series published by Kensington Lyrical. 17

On the southern tip of a continent that might have come to be known as Africa, twin boys Auben and Kasim Mutze suffer through a series of fire-hot irons pressing into their flesh. Each brand represents one of the seven vices shared between tempered twins, but it’s not until they’re older when they realize the significance these marks have for their position in society. Auben, the lesser twin with six garish vice brands running from shoulder-to-elbow, is determined not to let his inferiority get in the way of having fun. He’s popular among all the other twins in his innercity high school, and has the brains to match. Kasim, the greater twin with a single brand that’s more of a discoloration than a scar, hasn’t known trouble a day in his life...until he starts hearing strange voices. And with those voices comes power. Unbeknownst to his brother, Auben is hearing things, too. Voices bidding him to do evil--darker, deeper evils than the mischief he’s used to getting into. Plus, there are hours he can’t account for. And blood cravings.

Act of Betrayal By Matthew Dunn In this riveting entry in the celebrated thriller series, former intelligence operative Will Cochrane-a "ruthless yet noble" (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram) man from whom "Bond and Bourne could learn a thing or two" (Madison County Herald)-comes out of hiding to expose a conspiracy involving a past assassination that reaches the highest echelons of the US government. Three years ago, intelligence officer Will Cochrane was brought in by a Delta Force colonel to assassinate a terrorist financier in Berlin. After the job, the commander vanished, and hasn't been heard from since. The details don't quite add up, and one of the CIA agents who was involved has been investigating the mission. He reaches out to Will for help, but before they can connect, the CIA man is poisoned. Will is determined to uncover the truth about Berlin, even if it means putting himself in the crosshairs. Framed for multiple murders, the skilled former spy has gone deep underground to evade his enemies and the Feds. But honor and loyalty to his old colleague thrust him into danger once again. When Marsha Gage at the FBI discovers that Cochrane-one of America's Most Wanted-has resurfaced, she immediately launches a manhunt, and she won't stop until she brings the former CIA/MI6 operative in. With time running out, Cochrane will use all of his training and formidable skills to outmaneuver the FBI and uncover a shocking conspiracy that will rock the foundations of our nation . . . if he can stay alive.

Daleina believes she can bring peace and prosperity to her beloved forest home—or as much peace as is ever possible in a place where malevolent nature spirits thirst for the end of all human life. After repelling an invasion by the northern mountain country of Semo, and with the powerful Queen Naelin by her side as co-ruler, Daleina’s dream of ushering in a new era seems possible... until Naelin’s children are kidnapped by spirits. Naelin would rather watch the world burn than see harm come to her children. Blaming Queen Merecot of Semo for the kidnapping, Naelin is ready to start a war—and she has the power to do it. But Merecot has grander plans than war with her southern neighbors, and the children are merely one step in a plot to change the future of all Renthia... by destroying the spirits that plague their world, forever.

Ahab’s Return The Last Voyage By Jeffrey Ford A fabulist take on classic literary characters -- Captain Ahab and Ishmael -- from critically acclaimed Edgar Award and World Fantasy Award-winning novelist Jeffrey Ford.

Imprint: William Morrow Mystery & Detective Page Count: 320 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World English Rights: HarperCollins US Translation Rights: Howard Morhaim Literary (CB)

Manhattan, 1953. At the end of a long journey, Captain Ahab returns to the mainland to confront Ishmael, the true author of Moby-Dick. He feels his former shipmate has made a walking ghost of him, since all who have read the popular novel assume that Ahab was consigned to a watery grave. More important, Ahab is searching for his wife and child, who left Nantucket for New York after hearing of Ahab's death. Ahab's quest brings him to the offices of The Gorgon's Mirror, a sensationalist rag of the penny press, when Ishmael worked as a copy editor while writing about the ill-fated Pequod. It is there that Ahab meets George Harrow, a writer for the paper (and narrator of this novel), who makes a deal with the captain: Harrow will help Ahab navigate the city in search of his family in exchange for the story of his salvation from the mouth of the great white whale. Ahab agrees. But their investigation takes unexpected turns. They learn that Ahab's wife has succumbed to smallpox, and his son has joined a violent street gang. It is now up to Ahab and Harrow to hunt down and rescue Ahab's son. Told with wit, wisdom, suspenseful horror, a modicum of humor, and a vigorous stretching of the truth, AHAB’S RETURN charts a new and intriguing voyage for the hero of Melville's classic novel. JEFFREY FORD is the author of The Physiognomy, Memoranda, The Beyond, The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque, the Edgar Award-winning The Girl in the Glass, The Shadow Year, and The Drowned Life. He lives outside Columbus, Ohio, and teaches writing at Ohio Wesleyan University. 22

Blood of the Four By Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon A new, epic, standalone novel from two great names in SFF, Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon, THE BLOOD OF FOUR is dark fantasy with a brilliant beam of hope at its core. In the great kingdom of Quandis, there are those who are slaves to the gods, and those who are slaves to everyone else. For the royal elite, their servitude is clearly not odious. They do their duties, but mostly live lives of comfort and splendor. Yet some chafe at that their role…particularly the princess, who doesn’t see why her mother on the throne--or her brother being heir--should keep her from ruling. Far below them is the caste known as the Bajuman, and while royal infighting will undoubtedly affect them, nothing could be much worse than the lives they already live. Poor and oppressed, there are only two ways out of servitude: the priesthood. And death. For centuries, these two parts of society have somehow maintained the glory of Quandis, in no small part because magic has been kept at bay. But Princess Phela’s desire for power will change all that, setting into motion a series of events that will either elevate her to becoming a goddess in her own right…or destroy everything.

When Daphne Marist and her infant daughter, Chloe, pull up the gravel drive to the home of Daphne's new employer, it feels like they've entered a whole new world. Tucked in the Catskills, the stone mansion looks like something out of a fairy tale, its lush landscaping hiding the view of the mental asylum just beyond its border. Daphne secured the live-in position using an assumed name and fake credentials, telling no one that she's on the run from a controlling husband who has threatened to take her daughter away. Daphne's new life is a far cry from the one she had in Westchester where, just months before, she and her husband welcomed little Chloe. From the start, Daphne tries to be a good mother, but she's plagued by dark moods and intrusive thoughts that convince her she's capable of harming her own daughter. When Daphne is diagnosed with Post Partum Mood Disorder, her downward spiral feels unstoppable--until she meets Laurel Hobbes. Laurel, who also has a daughter named Chloe, is everything Daphne isn't: charismatic, sophisticated, fearless. They immediately form an intense friendship, revealing secrets to one another they thought they'd never share. Soon, they start to look alike, dress alike, and talk alike, their lives mirroring one another in strange and disturbing ways. But Daphne realizes only too late that being friends with Laurel will come at a very shocking price-one that will ultimately lead her to that towering mansion in the Catskills where terrifying, long-hidden truths will finally be revealed...

Diane Cooke was “born with the century” and came of age just after WWI. The daughter of landed Southern gentry, she knew early that her parents had only one asset, besides her: their stately house, Saratoga. But the Cookes were too land-poor to keep the house up, and without a rich husband, Diana could well lose the mansion that had defined her family for five generations. Enter Captain Copperton, a stranger with no bloodline but plenty of cash. A Cooke-Copperton marriage seemed to be of benefit to everyone, except for one thing. Copperton was cruel as well as vulgar and Diana could hardly bear him. Luckily, she didn’t have to put up with him for too long… but when their grown son eventually returns to Saratoga with his college roommate, the real scandal begins. Set in Virginia, The Dying of the Light is a romance, a melodrama, a cautionary tale. In breathless prose, and with copious descriptions of people, places, art and culture, it examines the mores and attitudes of 20th century America below the Mason-Dixon Line.

A near tragedy in his childhood convinced Noah Freeman that he needed to be an EMT. However, nothing in his training prepares him for the call he receives one afternoon in July. When his team arrives, they discover an elderly Amish woman has collapsed on the floor, surrounded by the other members of her household including a young woman named Sadie Detweiler. When the woman dies, Noah is suspicious of the causes and despite his EMT team’s protests, returns to the house to see the family. This time, only Sadie is there. As they talk, Noah begins to suspect that all is not as it seems in the family’s home. In truth, Sadie is in a terrible situation and doesn’t know how to get out of it. Four months ago, she discovered she was pregnant. She knew she had to escape her extremely conservative community and left to stay with her cousin, but her new family was far from welcoming. When Noah, the handsome EMT, stops by and acts like he genuinely cares about how she is doing, Sadie feels like crying. But then she gets worried he’s there to pry, and asks him to leave. Noah decides to keep tabs on her and soon they are friends, close enough that Noah is considering the idea of courting her. But when Sadie reveals that she’s pregnant, he is shocked and confused and steps back. Just as he is ready to apologize to Sadie for the way he acted, his ambulance team is sent on another call. An English man has died of almost the same causes as the Amish woman weeks earlier. When a third person gets seriously ill of the same thing, the team knows something dangerous is going on in Hart County. As the weeks go on, Sadie has finally begun to feel at home—Noah has officially started courting her and he’s eager to have both her and her unborn baby in his life. But when he reveals that he has been helping the sheriff with a case involving someone in the community illegally producing and selling moonshine, Sadie realizes that her cousin’s family is to blame. If she reports them, she could lose everything. If she doesn’t, she could lose not only Noah, but be responsible for the death of someone else.

A few minutes after 9 p.m. on Palm Sunday, April 5, 1936, a massive funnel cloud flashing a giant fireball and roaring like a run-away train careened into the thriving cotton-mill town of Tupelo, in northeastern Mississippi. Measured as an F5— the highest on the Fujita scale—the tornado killed more than 200 people, not counting an unknown number of black citizens, one-third of Tupelo’s population, who were not included in the official casualty figures. When the tornado hits, Dovey, a local laundress, is flung by the terrifying winds into a nearby lake. Bruised and nearly drowned, she makes her way across Tupelo to find her small family—her hard-working husband, Virgil, her clever sixteen-year-old granddaughter, Dreama, and Promise, Dreama’s beautiful light-skinned three-month-old son. Slowly navigating the broken streets of Tupelo, Dovey stops at the house of the despised McNabb family. Dovey hates Judge Mort NcNabb, a powerful man who cannot control his eldest son, a violent and sadistic youth who has left his mark on her own family, linking their fates. Inside, she discovers that the tornado has spared no one. The mother, Alice, a schoolteacher, is severely injured. The shell-shocked judge has gone to look for baby Tommy, blown from Alice’s arms. And Jo, the McNabbs’ dutiful teenage daughter, has suffered a terrible head wound. When Jo later discovers a baby in the wreckage, she is certain that she’s found her baby brother, Tommy, and vows to protect him. During the harrowing hours and days of the chaos that follows, Jo and Dovey will struggle to navigate a landscape of disaster and battle both the demons and the history that link and haunt them. Drawing on historical events, Minrose Gwin beautifully imagines natural and human destruction in the deep South of the 1930s through the experiences of two remarkable women whose lives are indelibly connected by forces beyond their control. A story of loss, hope, despair, grit, courage, and race, Promise reminds us of the transformative power and promise that comes from confronting our most troubled relations with one another.

For most of her adult life, resourceful caterer Faith Fairchild has called the sleepy Massachusetts village of Aleford home. While the native New Yorker has come to know the region well, she isn't familiar with Havencrest, a privileged enclave, until the owner of Rowan House, a secluded sprawling Arts & Crafts mansion, calls her about catering a weekend house party. Producer/director of a string of hit musicals, Max Dane-a Broadway legend-is throwing a lavish party to celebrate his seventieth birthday. At the house as they discuss the event, Faith's client makes a startling confession. "I didn't hire you for your cooking skills, fine as they may be; but for your sleuthing ability. You see, one of the guests wants to kill me." Faith's only clue is an ominous birthday gift the man received the week before-an empty casket sent anonymously containing a 20-year-old Playbill from Max's last, and only failed, production-Heaven Or Hell. Consequently, Max has drawn his guest list for the party from the cast and crew. As the guests begin to arrive one by one, and an ice storm brews overhead, Faith must keep one eye on the menu and the other on her host to prevent his birthday bash from becoming his final curtain. Full of delectable recipes, brooding atmosphere, and Faith's signature biting wit, THE BODY IN THE CASKET is a delightful thriller that echoes the beloved mysteries of Agatha Christie and classic films such as Murder by Death and Deathtrap.

“The dead come to me vulnerable, sharing their stories and secrets…” Mary Crampton has spent all of her thirty years in Petroleum, a small Midwestern town once supported by a powerful grain company. Living at home, she works as the embalmer in her father’s mortuary: an unlikely job that has long marked her as an outsider. Yet, to Mary there is a satisfying art to positioning and styling each body to capture the essence of a subject’s life. Though some townsfolk pretend that the community is thriving, the truth is that Petroleum is crumbling away—a process that began twenty years ago when an accident in the grain elevator killed a beloved high school athlete. The mill closed for good, the train no longer stopped in town, and Robert Golden, the victim’s younger brother, was widely blamed for the tragedy and shipped off to live elsewhere. Now, out of the blue, Robert has returned to care for his terminally ill mother. After Mary—reserved, introspective, and deeply lonely—strikes up an unlikely friendship with him, shocking the locals, she finally begins to consider what might happen if she dared to leave Petroleum. Set in America’s heartland, THE FLICKER OF OLD DREAMS explores themes of resilience, redemption, and loyalty in prose as lyrical as it is powerful.

Strange Weather Four Short Novels

By Joe Hill From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE FIREMAN comes a collection of four chilling novellas -- ingeniously wrought gems of terror that deftly expose the darkness that lies just beneath the surface of everyday life. “Snapshot” tells the story of an Silicon Valley adolescent who finds himself threatened by “The Phoenician,” a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camera that erases memories, snap by snap. In “Aloft” a young man takes to the skies to experience parachuting for the first time . . . and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero’s island of roiling vapor that seems animated by a mind of its own. One day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails -- splinters of bright crystal that tear apart anyone who isn’t safely under cover. “Rain” explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads out across the country and around the world. Finally, in “Loaded,” a mall security guard heroically stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun rights movement. Under the glare of the spotlights, though, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it. As an out-of-control summer blaze approaches his coastal Florida town, he reaches for the gun again, and sets out upon a last day of reckoning.

Tribal Police Officer Bernadette Manuelito, at work on the Ramah Navajo Reservation, gets a call asking her to speak at an outdoor character-building program for potentially delinquent teens. She arrives to chaos. A lost girl has just returned from her solo experience, hours overdue and traumatized. The girl, Annie, confides to Bernie that she stumbled upon a human skeleton. The beloved instructor who went to find her seems to have vanished in the rugged volcanic landscape known as El Malpais. In Navajo tradition, these lava caves and tubes are the solidified blood of a terrible monster killed by superhuman twin warriors. Bernie's interest in Annie's story leads her to uncover human evil. The disappearance recalls another search that may be connected, a case in which the Legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn played a crucial role. An unexpected blizzard, a supposedly accidental drowning and an FBI agent new to the reservation add to the complications.

Paul and Fay have a happy—though untraditional—marriage. Paul Agarra, a criminal court judge in New York City, is in his late 60s; Fay, an entrepreneurial artist, is in her late 40s. Life is good. Until it isn’t. In Barcelona, on their way to the airport after a magical vacation, Fay needs a bathroom now. Paul pulls over in front of a café. Leaving her purse, passport, money, phone— everything—in the car, Fay dashes in just in time. When she dashes out, Paul is gone. Left. So begins the unraveling of a twenty-year marriage Fay thought she knew. When Paul is finally found at the airport—where he’d been the whole time—Fay’s world is turned upside down. Paul’s judgments that day were crazy. What neither Paul nor Fay understood then was this: the incident in Barcelona was the first sign of a cognitive decline that would eventually take Paul’s memory, personality, rationality, and empathy. To cope with the rabbit hole she’s been pushed into, Fay cultivates a fantasy life that revolves around a gorgeous New York apartment building, a handsome doctor who lives there, and her destiny with both. On her daily walks with Lola—her snooty dog who’s more like a cat—Fay passes what she imagines as her future life. It’s a welcome respite from her reality with Paul, his grown son and family, and her own sorrowful past. Nappa Award-winning author of seven Young Adult novels, Mary’s first adult novel TWO SISTERS tells the gripping, emotional story of a family, sisters and secrets.

Forced to flee her home to escape the advancing North Korean army, sixteen-year-old Haemi Lee now lives with her mother and younger brother in a makeshift coastal village among their former neighbors and other refugees. Her only respite from her family’s tragic circumstances are the nights she spends carousing with her childhood friend, Kyunghwan. Then Kyunghwan’s older and wealthier cousin, Jisoo, sets his sights on the beautiful and spirited Haemi, determined to marry her before enlisting in the war.

Chicago By David Mamet From the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS and Oscar-nominated screenwriter of THE UNTOUCHABLES, a big shouldered, big trouble thriller set in mobbed up 1920s Chicago—a city where some people knew too much, and where everyone should have known better. Mike Hodge—veteran of the Great War, big shot of the Chicago Tribune medium fry—probably shouldn’t have fallen in love with Annie Walsh. But maybe the guys who killed Annie Walsh shouldn’t have messed with Mike Hodge… In CHICAGO, David Mamet has created a bracing, kaleidoscopic page-turner that roars through the Windy City’s underground on its way to a thunderclap of a conclusion. Here is not only David Mamet’s first novel in more than two decades, but the book he has been building up to for his whole career. Mixing some of his most brilliant fictional creations with actual figures of the era (among them Al Capone), suffused with the richness of voice, pace and brio that has coined the term “Mamet Speak”, and exploring-as no writer can--questions of honor, deceit, revenge and devotion, CHICAGO is that rarest of literary creations: a book that combines spectacular elegance of craft with a kinetic wallop as fierce as the February wind off Lake Michigan.

Chiara Berguet, daughter of the owners of a local construction firm, was targeted thanks to the sizeable debt her parents owe.

Both the driver and his accomplice die on impact, leaving the girl in the back, gagged and bound and unable to break herself free. Meanwhile Rocco Schiavone wakes to find himself in Anna’s apartment. She’s the best friend of his girlfriend Nora, and memories of the night before, a heated evening with Anna, return to him. As he sneaks out, he sees the first few snowstorm clouds of the spring season move across the sky, an ominous reference that something is off, like a "Cold Day In Hell." If trouble at home and a case of kidnapping weren’t enough, Rocco will eventually have to contend with Enzo Baiocchi.

New York University Professor of Comparative Culture Andrew P. Cohen, 50, lives an easy life. He publishes frequently, in academic journals, but also The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and Harper’s, to name a few. His classes are extremely popular-his students worship him. Rumor is, he’ll soon be named director of the Asch Interdisciplinary Program in Contemporary Cultural Studies—a prestigious, handsomely funded enterprise considered by many to be the crowning jewel of the department. Though he’s been divorced from his wife Linda—who is also the mother of his two children—for eight years, they’re on excellent terms. They still have Thanksgiving as a family—he even attended her wedding. His grown daughter Rachel, who is following in his footsteps by getting a Ph.D., is fiercely intelligent. His younger child, Alison—who was just a baby when Andrew left home— worships him. His girlfriend, Ann Lee, 26, a former student, is a lively companion. With Andrew, the surface is always perfect, and effortlessly so. His apartment is spotless, his appearance chic, his courses elegantly titled. But, then, he begins to have strange and inexplicable visions of an ancient religious ritual, and slowly, the surface cracks, and his life begins to fall apart. Completely mesmerizing and utterly hypnotic, Ruby Namdar’s The Ruined House follows Cohen for a year, as his world unravels and he is forced to question everything he previously believed. Infused with biblical, Talmudic, and Kabbalistic imagery, this magical-realist novel is as beautiful as it is unsettling. In the tradition of the greatest Jewish American novels, THE RUINED HOUSE contains perfect descriptions of New York City, a central character in her own right, and touches of THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF NATHANIEL P. and the Coen brothers' A Serious Man. Originally written in Hebrew, THE RUINED HOUSE won the Sapir Prize, Israel’s highest literary award, and is stunningly translated by Hillel Halkin, one of the most accomplished Hebrew translators.

This idyllic wedding is turning out to be anything but. When Lillo Gray pulls up to Kennebunkport’s most exclusive hotel wearing a borrowed dress and driving a borrowed VW Van, she knows she’s made a big mistake. She’s not even sure why Jessica Parker invited her to her posh wedding—they haven’t seen each other since they were unhappy fourteen year olds at fat camp—and she knows she doesn’t fit in these rarefied circles. Jess isn’t sure she’s ready to go through with this wedding, but she’s been too busy making everyone else happy to think about what she wants. But when she and her two closest friends, Allie and Diana, along with Lillo, discover her fiancé with his pants down in the hotel parking lot, she’s humiliated…and slightly relieved. In a rush to escape her crumbling life, Jess, Allie, and Diana pile into Lillo’s beatup old van and head up the coast to Lighthouse Bay. There, she hopes, she’ll figure out what to do next. Nursing broken hearts and broken dreams, four lost women find their way back into happiness with new love, friendship, and the healing power of Lighthouse Beach.

Beautiful Days By Joyce Carol Oates A new collection of stories by American master Joyce Carol Oates, mysterious and surreal, and perfectly pitched for the confusion of the current political landscape The “woman in the window” in Edward Hopper’s classic painting is beautiful, young, nude, and (seemingly) lost in melancholy contemplation by a window— perhaps abandoned by her lover; in Joyce Carol Oates’s enthralling re-imagining, the woman is all of these but also alert to her situation, not at all passive but prepared to exact an unexpected revenge against one who has wronged her. In these stories of Beautiful Days, we are allowed access into the most secret, intimate, and unacknowledged interior lives of persons very like ourselves, who do not take refuge in passivity but assert themselves in acts of bold and sometimes irrevocable defiance. In “Big Burnt”—set on a lushly rendered Lake George, in the Adirondacks—a manipulative university professor exploits a too-trusting woman in a way she could never have anticipated; in “Owl Eyes” a prodigiously bright young adolescent confronts a mysterious stalker—with startling results. In “Friend of My Youth” a woman confronts a friend from college who has since become a world-famous feminist, for whom she feels violent emotions, and in “The Nice Girl” a young woman who has been, through her life, infuriatingly “nice” is forced to come to terms with her deepest motives.

Other than Honorable By Claire O’Dell From debut author Claire O’Dell, comes a fresh re-imagination of Sherlock Holmes, in which Dr. Janet Watson and covert agent Sarah Holmes, two black and LGBTQA women, must discover who is murdering veterans from America's New Civil War using espionage, advanced technology, and deduction.

Recently honorably discharged military doctor, Janet Watson, is on the down and out. She witnessed the horrors of a divided nation in the New Civil War and emerged from the war newly disabled—she now has a semi-functional mechanical arm in place of the one that was lost in an explosion. Unable to continue work as a doctor, Watson seeks employment as a Medical Technician set in bleak, gloomy, near-future Washington, D.C., amid a fraught presidential election. Desperate for adequate housing after staying in a delipidated hotel, Watson encounters Sarah Holmes, a mysterious yet playfully flirtatious covert agent who is in need of a roommate. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start, but when Watson discovers that soldiers from the New Civil War have been dying off one by one, and that it might have possible connections to a scandal in the pharmaceutical industry, and even ties to the current election, Watson and Holmes team up to discover the mystery behind these sudden deaths. Clever, incisive, and totally engrossing, OTHER THAN HONORABLE is a sharply written and wonderfully diverse reimagination of a classic literary canon. CLAIRE O’DELL grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC, in the years of the Vietnam War and the Watergate Scandal. She attended high school just a few miles from the house where Mary Surratt once lived and where John Wilkes Booth died. All this might explain why she spent so much time in the history and political science departments at college. Claire currently lives in Manchester, CT with her family and two idiosyncratic cats. 55

The Moon smells like gunpowder. Every lunar walker since Apollo 11 has noticed it; a burnt-metal scent that reminds them of war. Caden Dechert, the chief of the U.S. mining operation on the edge of the Sea of Serenity, thinks the smell is just the itch of his days as a Marine in the war torn Middle East back on Earth. Then a bomb kills one of his diggers on Mare Serenitatis. It’s 2072, and lunar helium-3 mining is powering the fusion reactors that are bringing Earth back from disaster. But competing for the richest prize in the history of the world has destroyed the oldest rule in space: Safety for All. As Dechert races to solve the first murder in the history of the Moon, he finds himself in the crosshairs of two global powers spoiling for a fight, and he knows the lives of he and his crew will be less than an afterthought to the powers that be. Even worse, he knows the killer is still out there, hunting. In his desperate attempts to save his crew and put a stop to the catastrophe he sees coming, Dechert uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to ignite a full lunar war, wipe out his team, and perhaps plunge the Earth back into darkness.

Since her husband died, Eden Wallace's life has diminished down to a tiny pinprick, like a far-off star in the night sky. She doesn't work, has given up on her love of photography, and is so plagued by night terrors that she can't sleep without the lights on. Everyone, even her family, has grown weary of her grief. So when she finds paperwork in her husband's effects indicating that he's reserved a week at a dark sky park, she goes. She's ready to shed her fear and return to the living, even if it means facing her paralyzing fear of the dark. When she arrives, though, the guest house where she has the suite, alone, is teeming with a group of twenty-somethings stuck in the orbit of their old college friendships. Horrified that her get-away has been taken over, Eden politely decides to head home the next day. But when one of the friends is murdered, everyone—including Eden—is a suspect. As mishaps continue to befall the group of friends, Eden must make sense of the chaos and lies to evade a ruthless killer—and she'll have to do it before dark falls.

On a rooftop in Brooklyn a young man, the intern, meets a Romanian artist and mathematician, Ana Ivan, who tries to alter her sense of time by living in complete darkness for one month. Before long, the intern finds himself entangled in Ana’s experiment and in a story that has haunted Ana’s family for generations: a story that shapes Ana’s life on her journey from Ceaucescu’s Bucharest to Morocco’s Atlas Mountains to the art scenes of Norway and New York City. The intern slowly loses touch with his own life as he descends into Ana’s world: her father’s mysterious suicide, her parents’ romance during the worst years of Ceaucescu’s dictatorship, and her brief, disastrous engagement to a Norwegian art professor. The Invention of Ana blurs the lines between narrative and memory, perception and reality.

In this compelling debut, scientist Emily Apell wins the highly-esteemed Lasker Award which plunges her into an extended recollection of her first job in the lab where her research began in earnest, and where she met a man who made her question everything she thought she knew about herself. A decade ago Emily was dedicated to her research on the sense of smell. How do molecules that enter the nose get identified by the brain as distinct odors? Upon arriving at her first research lab she meets Aeden, first as competitor and then collaborator. In the hours spent in pursuit of discovery, love sprouts as well. Emily is focused, driven, and introverted, so when she arrives to the lab the question of who, or perhaps what, she is remains in the air. When Aeden enters her life, it seems for the first time, that the answer might be one wherein she doesn’t end up alone. PATHFINDER is a love story set in the unique setting of a lab, but ultimately it is about making tough life choices.

Over the course of a week Isra finds herself betrothed, then married, to a man nearly twice her age whom she has met only once before. In the days that follow Isra is forced to return to America with her new husband and live in the basement of his parents’ home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Eighteen-year-old Deya, Isra’s oldest daughter, is obligated to sit with potential husbands at her grandmother’s behest. Orphaned as a child, Deya can’t help but wonder if her fate might have been different had her parents survived the car crash that killed them. But fate has a will of its own and when Deya receives a note from a strange woman, she is led down a path that forces her to question everything she thinks she knows about her parents and her past. Set in an America that exists next door and yet far outside the world most of us call home, THE PLACE AN ARROW SHOOTS FROM is a story of culture and duty, secrets and betrayals, love and violence. It is a look at a culture that now more than ever deserves our understanding, and a universal tale about family and the ways in which silence can destroy those we have sworn to protect.

The Magnificent Esme Wells By Adrienne Sharp

From nationally bestselling author Adrienne Sharp—author of THE TRUE MEMOIRS OF LITTLE K —a deeply felt and historically accurate tale of family, loss and love, as told through Esme, a girl who grows up fast as she accompanies her low-level gangster father and aspiring showgirl mother through golden–era Hollywood and the birth of Bugsy Siegel’s Las Vegas.

Imprint: Harper Coming of Age Fiction Page Count: 320 Pub Date: April 2018 AREs Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents (CB)

Esme Silver has always taken care of her charming ne’er do well father, Ike Silver, a small-time crook with dreams of making it big with Bugsy Siegel. Devoted to her daddy, Esme is often his “date” at the racetrack, where she amiably fetches the hot dogs while keeping an eye to the ground for any cast-off tickets that might be a winner. In awe of her mother, Dina Wells, Esme is more than happy to be the foil that gets the beautiful Dina into meetings and screen tests with some of Hollywood’s greats. When Ike gets an opportunity to move to Vegas—and what could at last be his big break, to help the man she knows as “Benny” open the Flamingo hotel—life takes an unexpected turn for Esme. A stunner like her mother, the young girl catches the attention of Nate Stein, one of the Strip’s most powerful men. Narrated by the twenty-year-old Esme, The Magnificent Esme Wells moves between pre-WWII Hollywood and post-war Las Vegas—a golden age when Jewish gangsters and movie moguls are often indistinguishable in looks and behavior. Esme’s voice—sharp, observant, with a quiet, mordant wit—chronicles the rise and fall and further fall of her complicated parents, as well as her own painful reckoning with love and life. A coming of age story with a tinge of noir, and a tale that illuminates the promise and perils of the American dream and its dreamers, The Magnificent Esme Wells is immersive, moving, and compelling. ADRIENNE SHARP is the critically acclaimed author of the story collection White Swan, Black Swan and the novels First Love, The Sleeping Beauty, and The True Memoirs of Little K. She received her M.A. with honors from the Writing Seminars at the Johns Hopkins University and was awarded a Henry Hoyns Fellowship at the University of Virginia. She has been a fiction fellow at MacDowell, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Squaw Valley Writer’s Conference. Trained as a ballet dancer from the age of seven at the prestigious Harkness Ballet in New York, among other places, she often writes about dance and its practitioners—like the mother and daughter in this story. 68

SINLESS, a page turning, adrenalized YA crossover debut novel by Sarah Tarkoff is set in a near future where good people are beautiful, and bad people are mysteriously punished with ugliness and even death. It's a world where you're 'forced' to be moral or suffer horrifying consequences of the body. But after a cleric's daughter named Grace stumbles onto information that proves her world is more complicated than it seems, she finds herself at the center of a worldwide battle where good and evil are not so easy to distinguish. Despite all her efforts to live a normal, boy-crazy teenage life, Grace is faced with a series of decisions that risk the lives of everyone she loves. Like Scott Westerfeld's UGLIES and Ally Condie's MATCHED, Sarah Tarkoff has come up with a great conceit here. It's a super entertaining read, with high drama, non-stop turning of the screws, immersive world-building, and presents an all-too-possible nightmarish future. Through underlying themes, Sarah also tackles big questions teenagers face in our everyday world: What is beauty? What is faith? Where does friendship end and love begin? Do we take the world we live in at face value or question the society that's been handed to us? SARAH TARKOFF brings a great deal of television writing experience to this novel and her excellent plotting skills are no accident. She went to USC for screenwriting, then worked her way up the ladder in television writer's rooms. She worked a couple of years on Gossip Girl, and seasons on Mistresses and Eastwick (both on ABC), before she received her first writing credit on Lifetime's Witches of East End. Last season, she worked in the writer's room on the critically acclaimed Jane the Virgin and just started a new gig as script coordinator on the upcoming season of CW's Arrow. She wrote and directed Break Up Day, a comedic short film that played in 2012 at the Newport Beach Film Festival and the Las Vegas Film Festival. Most recently, Sarah had a female-driven sci-fi pilot in development with Zucker Productions and Paradigm. 71

All The Ever Afters By Danielle Teller A luminous retelling of the classic Cinderella tale, told from the perspective of Agnes, the “evil” step-mother.

In the aftermath of the Cinderella story, Agnes, the evil step-mother, lives at the royal palace with Princess Elfilda. Rumors abound that Agnes and her daughters cruelly abused the princess, treating her like a servant and locking her in the attic. But the tale of Cinderella is not the life of Agnes, and the infamous stepmother’s story has, until now, been told in broad strokes. Separated from her family at ten years old, Agnes, a medieval serf, used her wits and ingenuity to improve her lot in life, escaping her tyrannical supervisor at the manor house, finding gentler work at an abbey, where she was enthralled by (and denied the love of) a beautiful and charismatic abbess. She allowed herself to be seduced by an opportunistic Moor named Fernan, who eventually died, casting Agnes and her one surviving daughter into destitution, and forcing them to return to the manor from which she had escaped. There, she worked as a nursemaid to the infant daughter of the Lord and Lady of the manor, Efilda, for whom she slowly develops a deep, hard-won love that persists through the Cinderella story. In this brilliantly perceptive retelling, Danielle Teller illuminates the complexities that lie beneath classic tales of good and evil, showing that although real-world struggles may not be the stuff of myths and fairy tales, the way we confront adversity can reveal something more profound, if not more lasting, than “happily ever after.” DANIELLE TELLER received her medical training at McGill University, Brown University and Yale University. She has held faculty positions at the University of Pittsburgh and Harvard University, where she investigated the origins of chronic lung disease and taught in the medical intensive care unit. In 2013, Danielle quit her job to pursue her childhood dream of being a writer. She is the author of Sacred Cows: The Truth About Divorce and Marriage (Diversion 2014) and has written numerous columns for Quartz. She lives with her husband, Astro Teller, and their four children in Palo Alto, California. 72

Literary Agent Emma Carson believes that drama belongs in books. It's why she's been building a tranquil new life in London, away from her wealthy, distant father and her D-list celebrity half-sister, Claudia. But when Emma's firm urgently summons her home to New York to sign an unpredictable blockbuster author, she finds her Dad is being extorted- again- and Claudia has been assigned a bodyguard. He's big, quiet and gorgeous, despite his scars - and the first rule he learned in Bodyguard School was to not get involved with his clients. Even if there's a spark. If Emma can just sign her author, decide on London or New York, and repair her relationship with Claudia, she can end this chapter nice and neatly. But real life can't be edited, deleted or skipped over, and danger threatens to push Emma too far out of her comfort zone. SALLY THORNE is the author of THE HATING GAME. She lives in Canberra, Australia and spends her days writing funding submissions and drafting contracts (yawn!) so it’s not surprising that after hours she climbs into colorful fictional worlds of her own creation. She lives with her husband in a house filled with vintage toys, too many cushions, a haunted dollhouse and the world’s sweetest pug.

Rutledge gives the bride away at his sister's wedding, filling the role of his late parents. And when the evening ends, he's too restless to sleep. Changing his clothes, he begins to drive aimlessly. Late that night, he comes upon a motorcar standing, doors wide, in the middle of a dark and lonely road. Standing beside the motorcar is a woman with blood on her hands and a dead man lying at her feet. She swears she didn't kill him-and there's no weapon to be found. Is her story the truth, that a stranger stopped them as they drove home from an evening party, and then without warning, took out a revolver and fired one shot at Stephen Wentworth before disappearing into the night? Certainly there's no sign of him now! And she swears she never saw the man's face. The victim is well-liked in the village where he lives, yet his bitter family accuses him of murder. Who did he kill? And has retribution finally caught up with him? Or has his companion lied all along? Rutledge manages to persuade the Yard that this should be his inquiry, although he is a witness after the fact. He believes this will give him an edge, but the Chief Superintendent is not completely convinced. Nor is Hamish, who flatly tells Rutledge he's evading the fact that he's not ready to go back to London, that the wedding has brought back too many memories he's unwilling to face. Wolf Pit, the village where Stephen Wentworth lived, is where the last wolf in England was killed in Medieval times. When there is another death, the evidence begins to suggest that a lone killer, like a lone wolf, is hunting prey of his own CHARLES TODD is the New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Ian Rutledge mysteries, the Bess Crawford mysteries, and two stand-alone novels.

The Secrets Between Us By Thrity Umrigar More than a decade since her bestselling novel, THE SPACE BETWEEN US, Thrity Umrigar continues Bhima’s unforgettable story in this stunning sequel. “It isn’t the words we speak who make us who we are. Or even the deeds we do. It is the secrets buried in our hearts.” Poignant and evocative, The Secrets Between Us opens exactly where The Space Between Us left off—bereft, Bhima has been dismissed from the house where she has worked for decades, fired by the woman who was essentially her only friend for daring to speak the truth about a heinous crime perpetrated against her family. Now, Bhima must find a new way in the world, while she supports her granddaughter Maya. But Bhima’s life takes an unexpected turn when her path intersects with Parvati, a bitter old woman with a mysterious past, who soon becomes her business partner—selling fruits and vegetables in the market—and eventually her first real friend. Both women are haunted by the wounds of the past, but together they each find a way to begin again, standing on their own two feet. A dazzling story of friendship and second acts, The Secrets Between Us is a powerful and perceptive literary masterpiece that brilliantly evokes the complexities of life in modern day India. A gorgeous follow-up to Umrigar’s bestselling novel, it is sure to delight and move her many fans.

Just outside of Cambridge, Lilling seems like an unassuming idyllic English village, but it’s home to a dark history. In 1976, a teenage girl named Annalise Wood disappeared while riding her bike home from school. Though her body was later discovered in a shallow grave, the culprit was never found. Decades later, Annalise maintains a perverse kind of celebrity in the small town, and is still the focus of grief, speculation, and for one young woman, a disturbing, escalating jealousy. When DNA linked to the Annalise murder unexpectedly surfaces, cold case investigator Morris Keene realizes he may now have the chance of his career. Morris and his former partner, Chloe Frohmann, hope to finally solve this perplexing mystery, and bring closure to a traumatized community. But the new evidence that should be the simple solution instead undoes the case’s only certainty: the buried body that had long ago been confidently identified as Annalise may be someone else entirely, and instead of answers, the investigators face only new puzzles. Whose body was unearthed all those years ago, and what happened to the real Annalise? Could she have had a secret child? Is someone interfering with the investigation? And is there a link to a present-day drowning with eerie connections? With piercing insight and fascinating twists, Emily Winslow explores the dark side of sensationalized crime in this haunting psychological thriller. EMILY WINSLOW is an American living in Cambridge, England. She trained as an actor at Carnegie Mellon University's prestigious drama conservatory and earned a master's degree in museum studies from Seton Hall University. For six years she wrote for Games magazine, creating increasingly elaborate and lavishly illustrated logic puzzles. She lives with her husband and two sons.

One wild night, Meredith Green, companion to the dowager Duchess of Durham, said yes to a man she thought she’d never see again. Suddenly, they’re living under the same roof, where Meredith is expected to teach James how to be a duke-while trying not to surrender to temptation a second time.

Biography / Memoir 90

Hiding Out A Story of Family, Secrecy, and Devotion By Tina Alexis Allen Actress and playwright Tina Alexis Allen's audacious memoir unravels her suburban, devoutly Catholic upbringing permeated with secrets and lies under the thumb of her father.

Imprint: Dey Street Books Personal Memoirs Page Count: 288 Pub Date: February 2018 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Catalyst Literary Management (CB)

Tina Alexis Allen is the youngest of thirteen children brought up by a saintly mother and a strict Catholic father in the 1980s suburbs of Maryland. Her father, Sir John, was a formidable, charming, British-born man with the distinct honor of being knighted by the Pope. He ran a successful travel agency that catered to tours of the Holy Land and the Vatican that embodied the values of a good Catholic family. Unlike her devout father, Tina was a smart-mouthed high school basketball prodigy who kept her lesbian identity a secret from her family. When her father discovered her secret at age eighteen, he shocked her with his response: he, too, was gay. Sir John became a confidante for Allen, and her to him, but what began as a tender moment of trust and truth quickly spiraled out of control. Together, Allen and her father made pilgrimages to gay discos, experimented with drugs, and engaged in sex with their respective partners in public places, keeping their family in the dark all the while. Outside of their wild escapades, Sir John invited Allen to be his heir apparent at the travel agency. Under his wing, Allen grew suspicious of his frequent business trips, his multiple passports, briefcases of cash, and cache of illegal documents, and uncovered the stunning doublelife of the father she thought she knew, secrets and all. HIDING OUT is the unbelievable true story of self-discovery, family, secrets, and the power of the truth. TINA ALEXIS ALLEN is a GLAAD Award-nominated actress, producer, scriptwriter and playwright. Allen is a cast member of the TV series Outsiders (WGN America), and co-starred in the feature films Moving Mountains (2014), Tom's Dilemma (2016), as well as the web-series Looking for Kathleen.

By Bret Bair From the #1 bestselling author of THREE DAYS IN JANUARY and host of Fox News Channel's #1 rated Special Report with Bret Baier, the story of how Ronald Reagan fought to end the Cold War, as framed around the 1988 Moscow Summit

Imprint: William Morrow Biography Page Count: 368 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Folio Literary Management, LLC (JLS)

On May 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stepped up to a podium at Moscow University to address a packed audience of students taking a break from their final exams. With a giant bust of Lenin looming over his shoulder, he spoke at length of the promise they held in their hands. It was an extraordinary speech, capping Reagan’s first visit to Moscow, on the occasion of a final and decisive summit with Mikhail Gorbachev—ostensibly to finalize a treaty, but also to discuss common ground the U.S. and Soviets could find on the major issues of the day. When the Summit had concluded, Reagan remarked that he felt he had “dropped into a grand historical moment,” and indeed, the close of the half-century-long Cold War was now almost at hand. Three Days in Moscow is the remarkable follow-up to Bret Baier’s 2017 #1 national bestseller on Dwight Eisenhower, Three Days in January. Using the Moscow summit as a prism through which to understand Reagan’s life and leadership, and the story of the Cold War, Baier offers a fresh look at the most revered Republican leader since Eisenhower. We learn of the early life struggles that shaped Reagan, and forged his ironclad belief in the American way; of his political transformation during the 50’s and 60’s that culminated with his winning the California governorship in 1966; and his rise to the presidency. Above all, THREE DAYS IN MOSCOW tells the story of Reagan’s long battle with the so-called Evil Empire, examining the character of one of America’s most remarkable leaders—and the unique qualities that allowed him to succeed with the Soviets, even though all of his predecessors had failed. Examining a crucial moment in history—and one that could not be more timely, given the newfound prominence of American-Russian relations—THREE DAYS IN MOSCOW tells is sure to be an enduring look at the life and legacy of one of our most beloved presidents.

Undivided A Memoir of Finding My Voice By Vicky Beeching Vicky Beeching, who The Guardian calls "arguably the most influential Christian of her generation," tells the story of her rise to becoming a household name in Christian music until her decision to come out as gay in 2014, which changed the way she was called to worship God.

Imprint: HarperOne Biography Page Count: 256 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: December 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Ross Yoon Agency (CBR)

From a young age, Vicky Beeching loved to write songs and lead worship for her church. When singing, she experienced the fullest expression of herself, what God had uniquely gifted her to do. After college, Beeching landed her dream job-writing and performing her Christian worship songs in front of thousands of people at megachurches and events. She became a household name in Christian music across the US and UK, touring with some of the biggest names in the business. But what no one knew was that locked away inside her lay a secret that she knew would destroy her career and threatened to topple everything she believed in. She was gay. And there was no room in Christian music-or God's plan, she believed-for a gay worship leader. Ten years in, she hit her breaking point. Emotionally ragged, and recently diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease that doctors believed was psychosomatic, she set music aside and enrolled in a theology program at Oxford to seriously study what the Bible and theology really said about homosexuality. In 2014, she came out as gay in an article published in the Independent. As she feared, she was dropped from her music label, blacklisted by the conservative Christian churches and people she had once been close with, and the subject of vitriol and hate. But she also was free for perhaps the first time ever in her life. Now a respected and award-winning writer, commentator, and speaker, Beeching speaks to the topics of religion and LGBT issues, in an effort to bridge the gap and share her vision of an inclusive church for all. Choosing to use her speaking and writing instead of music, she still sees herself as a worship leader, but in a new way, worshipping God for his great faithfulness and love of all members, and leading the way forward to making this a reality across all churches. VICKY BEECHING is an Oxford-educated theologian, Christian musician and writer, and commentator for outlets like the BBC. She wrote, performed, and toured as a Christian musician with EMI Records for ten years. Vicky has won awards for her media and writing-including a Christian New Media Award-and she advises a variety of organizations - including the United Nations - on the intersection of LGBT equality and religion.

Untitled Bob Costas Memoir By Bob Costas The long-awaited memoir by the most beloved sports broadcaster in America--from his days as a cub hockey reporter to NBC’s Olympic host, Costas’ hilarious and revealing book will be an instant classic of sports literature.

Imprint: Harper Sports Memoir Page Count: 320 Pub Date: May 2019 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: ICM (JLS)

For more than three decades, Bob Costas has been the face of NBC Sports, anchoring everything from the Super Bowl to the Olympics to commentating on the World Series and all the major golf tournaments. In that time, he’s carved out a unique place in the American sporting landscape--he’s familiar yet outspoken, a man whose puckish good humor and encyclopedic knowledge of sports makes him stand out amongst all TV hosts. Now, finally, he’s stepping back from his NBC commitments--the 2018 Super Bowl will be his last, and he’s no longer the face of the Olympics. With this new freedom Costas will reveal all the inside stories from a life in sports broadcasting. From growing up in Queens with a sports-obsessed father, through his early years riding the team bus with the Syracuse Blazers minor-league hockey team (they put him in the overhead to sleep), through years covering all the major sports, to anchoring the Olympics for more than two decades, Costas has been at the cusp of the explosion of live sports broadcasting. In that time, Costas has seen it all, interviewed everyone, and has spoken out regularly on any number of social and sporting issues. This book will be filled with unforgettable stories about all the key moments in sports in the last forty years, all enlivened by Costas’ humor, smarts, and newsworthy opinions. BOB COSTAS has been the face of NBC Sports for more than three decades. Hired in 1980, he has covered all the major sports for NBC--the NBA, MLB, the NFL, the NHL, golf--but is perhaps most well-known for anchoring every Olympics since 1992. Bob has also hosted numerous shows of his own, most notably “Bob Costas Tonight” on HBO. A resident of St. Louis, he grew up in Queens, NY. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller, FAIR BALL: A Fan’s Case for Baseball. 95

Open Season The Systemic Legalization of Discrimination By Benjamin Crump In OPEN SEASON, Ben Crump shares his inspiring journey and the landmark cases, including representing Trayvon Martin's family, that have made him one of the most distinguished civil rights attorneys working today.

The president of the National Bar Association and one of the most distinguished civil rights attorneys working today reflects on the landmark cases he has battled—including representing Trayvon Martin’s family—and offers a disturbing look at how the justice system is used to promote injustice in this memoir and clarion call as shocking and important as the bestsellers Just Mercy and Slavery by Another Name and Ava DuVernay’s film 13th. Benjamin Crump firmly believes in the Constitution and its legal protections—that civil rights covers all Americans, not just those privileged by race, wealth, or pedigree. A fierce and passionate advocate, he has devoted his career to fighting for justice for America’s marginalized. Open Season is his inspiring journey working on some of the most egregious cases that have shocked the nation, including those of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Shaped by his first-hand experience handling civil litigation matters in state and federal courts throughout the country, Open Season reveals the often hidden and systemic injustices minorities face, and illuminates how discrimination in the courthouse devastates real families and communities. Chronicling some of his most memorable legal battles, this brilliant litigator shockingly makes clear how our system is devised for certain people to lose and others to win, and, using evidence and facts, exposes how it is legal to harm—with the intent to destroy—people of color. Crump offers a cogent analysis of legal tenets, including the 13th Amendment, the 1951 Genocide Petition to the United Nations, and controversial Stand Your Ground laws. He compares how race detrimentally influences sentencing, and reveals how police unions protect officers who shoot unarmed civilians. He also makes clear how budget cuts for education, the proliferation of guns, and high unemployment rates all directly contribute to higher crime rates. America must live up to its promise to protect the rights of its citizens equally, Crump maintains. Thoughtful, well-reasoned, and powerfully persuasive, Open Season details one man's life mission preserving the hard-won justice for all. BENJAMIN CRUMP is an attorney at Parks & Crump, LLC, and is president and co-founder of MyDad 360, a mentoring program for fathers. He has been named among The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Lawyers and Ebony’s Power 100.

Neruda The Poet's Calling By Mark Eisner Few poets have captured the global imagination like Pablo Neruda. In his native Chile, across Latin America and in many other parts of the world, his name and legacy have become almost synonymous with liberation movements, and with the language of erotic love. At the same time, his books transcend time and culture: Taylor Swift claimed inspiration from him for her recent smash album Red; the Arab Spring movement featured graffiti of Neruda’s line, “You can crush the flowers, but you can’t delay spring.” Pablo Larraín’s acclaimed new film Neruda, starring Gael García Bernal, dramatizes a single episode of the legendary poet’s life, underlining the fascination he continues to inspire. Pablo Neruda: The Poet’s Calling is a compelling biographical portrait of one of the most intriguing and influential figures in Latin American history. The book vividly depicts his monumental life, potent verse, and ardent belief in the “poet’s obligation” to use poetry for social good. It braids together three major strands of Neruda’s life: his world-revered poetry; his political engagement; and his tumultuous, even controversial, personal life; forming a single cohesive narrative of intimacy and breadth.

CRAIG AND FRED is the story of Craig Grossi, a US Marine, and Fred, the stray dog he met on an Afghan battlefield, how they saved each other and now travel America together "spreading the message of stubborn positivity" to all they meet.

In 2010 Marine Corps Sgt. Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON-the most elite fighters in the Corps-in remote Sangin District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. "We were in a region no [Americans] had been in years," Grossi said. While on patrol, he spotted a young dog "with a big goofy head and little legs." Feral dogs were not unusual, but they were generally aggressive and travelled in packs. This dog seemed to be a loner, and trotted confidently around the area where the Marines were encamped. Something about the dog captured Craig's attention, so he approached with a piece of beef jerky, and to his surprise, the dog gently took it from his hand. But then Craig stood up and started walking away, and "I feel a little poke at my ankle, I look down, and there he is, following me." Another Marine shouted across the compound, "Looks like you made a friend," but Grossi heard, "Looks like a 'Fred.'" And that's how Fred got his name. Fred not only became Craig's constant companion, he won over the RECON fighters, and when it was time for them to leave Sangin District, Marines in his unit helped Craig smuggle Fred onto a helicopter bound for heavily fortified Camp Leatherneck, carefully stuffed into a duffel bag. "If I got caught with him, I could go to jail," Craig said. "And he would be put down, no questions asked." But a crew of DHL workers, a sympathetic vet. and a handler for military working dogs all conspired to help hide Fred, and eventually, ship him to Craig's father in Virginia. But that's actually just the beginning of their story, because when they returned to the US, it was Fred's turn to save Craig.

Raised in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC, CRAIG GROSSI is a nine-year Marine Corps veteran, recipient of the Purple Heart and Georgetown University graduate. When not travelling with Fred, he spends a good amount of his time with veteran organizations including the USA Warriors Ice Hockey Program and the Marine Reconnaissance Foundation. 101 Rights sold: German/Bastei Luebbe

Lands of Lost Borders By Kate Harris In the vein of Rebecca Solnit and Pico Iyer, a fierce debut about the author's decision to bike the Silk Road from beginning to end, and about the limits we place on ourselves and our natural world.

Imprint: Dey Street Books Bicycling Memoir Page Count: 320 Pub Date: August 2018 Manuscript Available World English Rights: HarperCollins Translation Rights: Stuart Krichevsky Literary (CB)

As a teenager, Kate Harris realized that the career she most craved—that of a generalist explorer, equal parts swashbuckler and metaphysician—had gone extinct. From what she could tell of the world from small-town Ontario, the likes of Marco Polo and Magellan had mapped the whole earth, and, sadly, there was nothing else to be discovered. So, she looked beyond this planet, vowing to become a scientist and go to Mars. Easier said than done, right? While studying the history of science and exploration at Oxford, and staring down a microscope for a doctorate at MIT, Harris set off by bicycle down a short section of the fabled Silk Road with her childhood friend. This trip was just a simulacrum of exploration, she thought, not the thing itself--a little adventure to pass the time until she could launch for outer space. But somewhere in between sneaking illegally across Tibet and clocking miles upon miles in some of the most remote places on earth, she realized that an explorer, in any day and age, is the kind of person who refuses to live between the lines. Forget charting maps, naming peaks, leaving footprints on another planet: what she yearned for was the feeling of soaring completely out of bounds. And where she'd felt that most intensely was on a bicycle, on a bygone trading route. LAND OF LOST BORDERS is the narrative of the author's journey by bicycle down the Silk Road -- but of course it is much more than that: an exploration of the boundaries we set ourselves, and the importance of breaking them; of the stories borders tell, and the limits they place on both wild and human life; and most urgently, a meditation on the human need to explore — the basic longing to learn what in the universe we are doing here. Like Rebecca Solnit and Pico Iyer, Kate Harris offers a travel account at once exuberant and meditative, wry and rapturous, and above all full of hope. LAND OF LOST BORDERS explores the nature of limits and the wildness of the self that, like our planet, can never be fully mapped. Weaving adventure and deep reflection with the history of science and exploration, LAND OF LOST BORDERS celebrates our connection as humans to the natural world, and ultimately to each other—a belonging that transcends any fences or stories that may divide us. KATE HARRIS is a writer and adventurer with a knack for getting lost. Named one of Canada's top modern-day explorers, her award-winning nature and travel writing has been featured in The Walrus, Canadian Geographic Travel, Sidetracked, and The Georgia Review, and cited in Best American Essays and Best American Travel Writing. She has degrees in science from MIT and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and in the history of science from Oxford, where she studied as a Rhodes scholar. When she isn't away on expeditions, or reporting on UN environmental negotiations for the International Institute for Sustainable Development, Harris lives off-grid in a log cabin on the border of the Yukon, British Columbia and Alaska. This is her first book.

My Story By Deborah Harry The much anticipated autobiography from rock icon and lead singer of Blondie, Debbie Harry

Imprint: Dey Street Books Entertainment & Performing Arts Page Count: 304 Pub Date: September 2019 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Author c/o Harper (CB)

“The only person I really believe in is me.” - Debbie Harry. With her two-tone bleached-blonde hair, cool sexuality and streetwise style, Debbie Harry is more than a girl in a band. She is an icon of fashion, art, music, and culture, a signifier of an era and the face of a genre. Fronting Blondie, she led the bold, brash band that became a marquee name during the late 70s/early 80s, a time when New York City was a hotbed of creativity and new sounds in rock and roll. A regular at Studio 54, a Rolling Stone cover girl, the subject of a series of Warhol silk-screens and a leader in the music video revolution, Harry’s influence on art is vast and undeniable. Always presenting herself with a bit of cool mystique, Debbie has kept the media and her fans at length for her entire career…until now. In her memoir, Harry will present her full self and full story; from her days as the adopted daughter of a middle class family in Hawthorne, NJ through to now, when she continues to amaze audiences well into her seventies. But of course, the heart of the book will be the story of Blondie, and the relationships that defined her life-with Chris Stein, with her fans, and with New York City. A beautifully written and richly told story, Debbie Harry’s memoir will be a publishing event. DEBORAH "DEBBIE" HARRY is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known as the lead singer of Blondie. She recorded several worldwide number one singles with Blondie during the 1970s and 1980s. She has also had success as a solo artist before reforming Blondie in the late 1990s. Her acting career spans over 60 film roles and many television appearances.

This Will Be My Undoing By Morgan Jerkins From one of the fiercest critics writing today, Morgan Jerkins’ highly-anticipated collection of linked essays interweaves her incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism with her own experiences to confront the very real challenges of being a black woman today—perfect for fans of Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist, Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me, and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie’s We Should All Be Feminists “I can’t wait to read...THIS WILL BE MY UNDOING.” —Roxane Gay, W magazine

Imprint: Harper Perennial Cultural Heritage Page Count: 336 Pub Date: January 2018 Galley Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Bradford Literary Agency (JLS)

Morgan Jerkins is only in her twenties, but she has already established herself as an insightful, brutally honest writer who isn’t afraid of tackling tough, controversial subjects. In This Will Be My Undoing, she takes on perhaps one of the most provocative contemporary topics: What does it mean to “be”—to live as, to exist as—a black woman today? This is a book about black women, but it’s necessary reading for all Americans. Doubly disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced, and marginalized with devastating consequences, in ways both obvious and subtle, that are rarely acknowledged in our country’s larger discussion about inequality. In This Will Be My Undoing, Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large. Whether she’s writing about Sailor Moon; Rachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don’t “see color”; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of “the fast-tailed girl” and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the “Black Girl Magic” movement, Jerkins is compelling and revelatory. MORGAN JERKINS is a twenty-something-year-old living and writing in New York. She graduated from Princeton University with an AB in Comparative Literature, specializing in nineteenth century Russian literature and postwar modern Japanese literature, and she has an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars. Currently she’s a contributing editor at Catapult and a Book of the Month judge. She has also written for The New Yorker, Vogue, the New York Times, the Atlantic, ELLE, Rolling Stone, the Guardian, and BuzzFeed, among many others. She is a former contributor for Book Riot. 104

Member of the Family By Dianne Lake Dianne "Snake" Lake reveals the true story of her years with the Manson family, detailing for the first time how she came to join the Family at age 14 and revealing new information about Charles Manson and life as one of his “girls.”

Imprint: William Morrow True Crime Page Count: 384 Pub Date: October 2017 Manuscript Embargoed World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Jeff Herman Agency, LLC (JS)

A poignant and compelling memoir of survival and healing, Member of the Family is Dianne Lake’s disturbing and powerful account of her time with one of the 20th Century’s most notorious criminal figures: Charles Manson. In MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, she details the two years of trauma she faced after her parents, who were themselves members of the famous “Hog Farm” commune, encouraged her to become the youngest one of “Charlie’s girls” at just fourteen years of age. What followed was two years of manipulation, psychological control, and physical abuse, as the harsh realities and looming darkness of who Charles Manson really was came to reveal itself. From Spahn ranch, to the group acid trips, to the White Album, to Manson’s dangerous messiah-complex, Dianne tells the riveting story of the group’s descent into madness as she lived it, taking the reader inside the chaotic years and months before the horrific Tate-LaBianca murders brought the optimism of the 1960s to a devastating end. Though she never participated in any of the group’s gruesome crimes and was purposely insulated from them until after the fact, she eventually learned enough to join the prosecution’s case against Manson and other family members following the group’s arrest. And through testimony, along with help from a few good Samaritans including the cop who arrested her and then adopted her, Diane ultimately found the courage to redeem herself in spite of her past, going on to lead an upstanding life as a special education teacher and mother of three. While much has been written about Charles Manson in the decades since his arrest and trial shook America to its core, few accounts have penetrated the Manson Family from the inside perspective of an actual family member. Here Dianne Lake offers a story unlike any other, taking readers back to a time and place that changed America forever, a moment when anything seemed possible and the horrors to come were unthinkable. DIANNE LAKE KELLEY is a special education teacher and mother of three who became a key member of the Manson Family after her parents gave her permission to join at the age of fourteen. She did not participate in the infamous Tate/Labianca murders. She eventually ended up testifying against the Manson murderers and being adopted by the police officer who arrested the perpetrators.

Thanks, Obama My Hopey, Changey White House Years By David Litt A different kind of White House memoir, a comic account of president speechwriter David Litt's six years working with Barack Obama

Imprint: Ecco Comedy Memoir Page Count: 320 Pub Date: September 2017 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Levine Greenberg Rostan (CBR)

In 2008, like millions of young people, David Litt, then a senior in college, fell hard for a senator named Barack Obama. He was captivated by his story. He was fired up by his promise of hope and change. Most of all, he was were inspired by his speeches. After graduating, Litt was lucky enough to land a job as a speechwriter in the White House. Over five years, he drafted hundreds of pages of POTUS remarks. He’s been responsible for four White House Correspondents’ Dinners, the so-called “State of the Union of Jokes.” He’s helped film viral videos and compose presidential tweets. In 2015, as they prepared to bring the “Luther the Anger Translator” onstage, he looked our first black president in the eye and uttered the words, “Hold on to your lily-white butts.” Now, he’s writing a different kind of White House memoir. He’s not going to tell you how incredibly important he was. He wasn’t. He’s not the guy who suggested we kill Osama. He didn’t save an auto industry or strike a deal with Iran. He spent most of his time trying not to screw up. On bad days, he screwed up anyway. On good days, he got to play his own small part in a very big thing. Sarah Palin famously asked, “How’s that hopey, changey thing working out for ya?” A whip-smart wisecracker, Litt tells us what that hopey, changey thing was really like, offering us a hilarious and ultimately illuminating account of one of the most historic American presidencies and its legacy. DAVID LITT left the White House in 2016 as a special assistant to the president and senior presidential speechwriter. Described as the "comic muse for the president" for his work on the White House Correspondents' Dinner, David has contributed jokes to every humorous Obama speech since 2009. In addition to his writing for the White House, David has written for The Onion, McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and The New York Times. He lives in Washington, DC with his girlfriend and two goldfish.

All Happy Families A Memoir By Jeanne McCulloch THE GLASS CASTLE meets THE NEST in this extraordinary, stranger-than-fiction memoir of family, marriage, appearances, and what we inherit, from one of our most gifted modern writers.

“If anything happens to my husband tonight, do not call this house.” Two days before her wedding, Jeanne McCulloch’s father suffers a massive stroke that leaves him hospitalized in a coma. Anyone else would have called it off, but in her mother’s world of appearance and expectation, the show must go on— after all, you don’t invite hundreds of people to a wedding on Lily Pond Lane to send them home. Determined to save face, Jeanne’s mother issues that fateful edict to the doctors and the wedding proceeds as planned. The wedding weekend closes not with the newlywed’s honeymoon, but with lawyers reading a will. The events of that weekend send shock waves deep into Jeanne’s new family as well. By Christmas the following year, Jeanne and her husband watch as her father-in-law announces to the family that he’s having an affair and that he’s leaving. Cut to five years later, where we find Jeanne and her mother back on Lily Pond Lane, unwrapping the wedding gifts she never opened: Jeanne is getting a divorce; she has to divide the assets. With all the literary grace of Mary Karr and Jeanette Walls, Jeanne McCulloch takes readers inside a life imploding. Lyrical, taught, and profoundly insightful, McCulloch’s memoir becomes a meditation in three movements that questions all that we inherit from one another, for better and for worse. JEANNE MCCULLOCH is a former managing editor of The Paris Review and senior editor of Tin House magazine. She is the founding Editorial Director of Tin House Books. Her fiction and non-fiction have appeared in The Paris Review, Tin House, The New York Times, O Magazine, Vogue, and the North American Review among other publications.

The Desert and the Sea By Michael Scott Moore From journalist and author of SWEETNESS AND BLOOD, Michael Scott Moore, comes a revelatory memoir written with self-deprecating humor and brutal honesty about his 977 days held captive by Somali pirates. Emotional and elucidating by turns, THE DESERT AND THE SEA blends personal narrative with rigorous journalistic investigation of foreign and domestic hostage policy, religious extremism, and the costs of survival.

“I have to request from the American or the German government the full ransom…if there is no answer to payment of the ransom within three days then, the kidnappers here will sell me to Al-Shabaab.” Surrounded at gunpoint, the scene from his ransom video is chilling. Funded by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, journalist Michael Scott Moore had travelled to Somalia to conduct research for a book he was writing about Somali pirates. He had covered the trial of a pirate gang in Hamburg, Germany for Der Spiegel, an experience that left him feeling there was more to this group than met the eye. He wanted to know where they came from, how they operated, and share their untold story. So in January 2012 he journeyed to Galkayo. On the last day of his stay, he was taken hostage. Over the course of the next 977 days, Moore was subject to conditions that routinely break even the strongest spirits. Physical injury, starvation, isolation, terror—his survival is a testament to indomitable humanity. Yet Moore’s own struggle is only part of the story: caught between Muslim Somali pirates, the looming threat of Al-Shabaab, and the rise of ISIS, Moore enters into a conflicted and probing meditation on the roots and lived practices of Muslim extremists. Moore weaves his own experience as a hostage with the social, economic, religious, and political factors surrounding it at home and abroad. Ultimately, THE DESERT AND THE SEA is a heartbreaking, wildly compelling, tense, emotional book that will take its place next to books like In the Den of Lions or A House in the Sky. MICHAEL SCOTT MOORE is a novelist and journalist who has written on politics and travel for publications such as the Atlantic, Slate, Spiegel online, Miller-McCune magazine, and the Financial Times. He lives in Berlin, Germany. 108

Astounding By Alec Nevala-Lee THE METAPHYSICAL CLUB meets THE SECRET HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN in this group biography of four eccentric visionaries- John Campbell, Robert Heinlen, Isaac Asimov, and L Ron Hubbard- who would give birth to the genre of science fiction and change the culture indelibly

Imprint: Dey Street Books Science & Technology Page Count: 320 Pub Date: August 2018 Manuscript Available: August 2018 World English Rights: HarperCollins US Translation Rights: Robbins Office, Inc. (CB)

When George R.R. Martin was asked if his work had been inspired by Joseph Campbell’s idea of the hero’s journey, he replied: “The Campbell that influenced me was John W., not Joseph.” As the editor of the magazine Astounding Science Fiction from 1937 to his death in 1971, John W. Campbell, Jr. discovered such legendary writers as Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein; wrote the story that has been filmed three times as THE THING; left his mark on STAR TREK and DUNE; and, notoriously, collaborated with L. Ron Hubbard on the therapy known as dianetics, which survives today in the teachings of the Church of Scientology. Campbell’s genius, prejudices, and complicated personal life had an incalculable impact on generations of authors and readers, and his legacy remains intensely controversial. Yet until now, there has never been a biography of the man whom Asimov called “the most powerful force in science fiction ever,” or a complete narrative, told with the novelistic detail that it deserves, of how the genre emerged from the pulps to shape the dreamlife of millions. ASTOUNDING is the untold story of Campbell, Asimov, Heinlein, Hubbard, and their collective vision of the future, in the first comprehensive account of one of the most riveting cultural dramas of the twentieth century. It follows these four friends and sometime rivals through the invention of modern science fiction in the thirties; their experiences in World War II; the dawn of dianetics, in which Campbell’s pivotal role is fully described at last; and the tragic final act that estranged Campbell from the others and brought the golden age of science fiction to a close. Drawing on dozens of interviews and thousands of unpublished letters, it vividly evokes the era in which these authors wrote their most famous stories, gives a voice to the remarkable women in their lives—each went through a traumatic divorce and remarriage at a crucial point in his career—and offers a wealth of new insights into the nature of science fiction, the origins of Scientology, and the secret history of the genre that continues to profoundly affect what the world reads, watches, and believes.

ALEC NEVALA-LEE was born in Castro Valley, California, and graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's degree in Classics. His novels include The Icon Thief, City of Exiles, and Eternal Empire, all published by Penguin Books, and his short fiction has appeared in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Lightspeed Magazine, and The Year’s Best Science Fiction. He has written for such publications as the Los Angeles Times, Salon, The Daily Beast, and Longreads, and he will be featured later this year in the A&E Biography episode on the life of L. Ron Hubbard. 109

Breaking Bread A Baker's Journey Home in 75 Recipes

By Martin Philip From the Head Bread Baker of King Arthur Flour comes a moving meditation on the art and craft of baking bread that reaches beyond technique and inspires at-home bakers to explore the essence of baking as an act of love, featuring 5075 photographs, 20-30 hand-drawn illustrations and 75 original recipes. “I met Martin Philip years ago, when—at my son’s voice lesson—he handed me a steaming, fragrant loaf of bread to take home. Years later, when I was doing research for a novel and needed to learn about making bread, I turned to him for a private tutorial. But in addition to being an excellent baker, Martin is also an excellent writer. Breaking Bread is truly a feast —a history of bread itself, cleverly hidden within the story of a man who fell in love with baking. With verbal descriptions that burst on the tongue and recipes that your hands itch to try, this beautiful book is food for the soul.” — Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things

After years of working in the finance world, Philip decided it was time to change careers, trading in a high-powered New York City job for one that fulfilled his yearning for creative connection. A true Renaissance man, Philip was an opera singer, a banjo player and a passionate amateur baker. When it came time to decide on a new profession, he chose aprons strings over banjo strings, moving his family to Vermont where he worked his way up to Head Bread Baker for King Arthur Flour. He became more than a baker… He is a bread shaman. For Philip, being a baker is more than mastering the chemistry of flour, salt, water, and yeast. Rather to be a baker is to be an alchemist: perfecting the transformation of simple ingredients into an elegant expression of the soul. In BREAKING BREAD, Philip opens his kitchen to us, sharing recipes for everything from Butter Biscuits to Butternut-Apple Quick bread. He teaches us the secrets of a perfect baguette and how to make your own authentic bagels. As a former home baker, Philip knows his audience and is able to guide less experienced bakers toward those elements that are most integral to successful bread baking; as a professional, he offers recipes and techniques to create loaves of unparalleled beauty and flavor for the most advanced bakers. The book also includes a substantial technical section which covers the bread making process, tools, and ingredients. MARTIN PHILIP is the Bakery Operations Manager and Head Bread Baker at King Arthur Flour in Norwich, Vermont. He is a former member of Team USA, which competed in the SIGEP Golden Cup in Rimini, Italy, and was a finalist in the selection process for the coveted bread spot on Team USA at the World Cup of baking. He is a sought-after educator and has travelled internationally to bring baking education and his love of craft to underserved populations in rural villages in the Dominican Republic, ex-convicts at Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, California and the gambling masses in Las Vegas, 110 Nevada.

No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy By Jim Proser A biography of General James Mattis, beloved and admired military hero, and now, our Secretary of

Defense.

Imprint: Broadside Books Biography Page Count: 256 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: December 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: D4EO Literary Agency

When General James Mattis took command of the First Division in 2000, he took for their motto a paraphrase of Roman general Lucius Cornelius Sulla: “No better friend, no worse enemy.” In 2003, General James N. Mattis shared a “Message to All Hands,” to his soldiers. He shared with them the importance of the mission, the goal to act with honor, and ended with the motto he brought to his division from a paraphrase of Roman general Lucius Cornelius Sulla: “Demonstrate to the world that there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a US Marine.” Mattis was the first Trump presidential cabinet nominee and received nearly unanimous, bipartisan support for his nomination, with only one vote against. He received a rare waiver of the guidelines that exclude recently active military leaders from the position of Secretary of Defense. What could create such unprecedented unity, even enthusiasm, in the hyper-partisan political rancor of 2017? Beyond Mattis’ obvious military competence for the position, he also possesses such personal integrity, fostering universal confidence. Told through Proser’s insight and talent for storytelling, it is this unimpeachable character that is the primary subject of No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy. He leads with insight, humor, fighting courage and fierce compassion - not only for his fellow Marines who volunteer to follow him through hell’s front door, but for the innocent victims of war. His martial and personal values have elevated him to the highest levels of personal success and earned him the trust of his Marines and many fellow Americans. We are stronger both from his service and his example.

Contagiously Good By Josh Radnor A surprising and incisive spiritual memoir from actor, filmmaker, and writer Josh Radnor, in which he finds the only way to live and grow in the public eye is to be "contagiously good"--and why that matters for each of us.

Imprint: HarperElixir Personal Memoir Page Count: 272 Pub Date: November 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Dupree/Miller & Associates (CBR)

In 2005, Josh Radnor was catapulted into the hearts of millions with his breakout role as Ted Mosby on the hit show "How I Met Your Mother." The beloved show would run for nine seasons and its success would turn Josh from a struggling stage actor into a bona fide TV star. But with his newfound fame came a strange phenomenon: instead of the happiness he'd been promised "success" would deliver, he felt increasingly alienated from himself and others, even as more and more people felt they knew him. Instead of lessening or eliminating his insecurities and least attractive qualities, fame poured lighter fluid on them. Josh quickly realized that if he wanted to live with himself, he was going to have to work on himself. Fame could be a terrific teacher--if he agreed to the lesson plan. In Contagiously Good, Radnor explores--with wit and self-awareness, humility and humor--the imperative questions fame forced him to confront. In a series of poignant and inspiring interlinked essays that illuminate the intersection of the personal and the universal, Radnor travels from the soundstages of Los Angeles to the jungles of Peru to the Ohio high school auditorium in which he first performed, exploring the power of art and especially music to act as an almost visceral expression of spirit; how we find the path to--and often the path back, as life would have it--our people, our tribe, our home, in the most surprising ways; and how our collective culture, in which we spend so much time in a shared online reality and in which everyday people increasingly experience the schism between the private self and the public persona--and the discontent that is part and parcel of it, is actually an almost holy opportunity to be "contagiously good." A moving, multi-faceted take on how we live now--in a culture in which we are more connected than ever and in which every word, every action, every tweet, every Facebook and Instagram post is a contribution to the collective; in which we're taking cues from each other in every moment about who and how to be; and in which everything is contagious– CONTAGIOUSLY GOOD is both a timely conversation and an inspiring rallying cry, one that invites readers on an unexpected journey through the pleasures, perils, and complexities of modern life. JOSH RADNOR is best known for his breakout role as Ted Mosby on the hit CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother." The show, which ran from 2005 - 2014 has earned a cult following and 9 Emmy awards. In addition to acting in films and on Broadway, Radnor has written and directed two films: Happythankyoumoreplease (2010), which won the Sundance Film Festival Award, and Liberal Arts (2012). Radnor is currently the star of the PBS Civil War drama Mercy Street.

The Watergate Inside America’s Most Infamous Address By Joseph Rodota A biography of Washington's most famous apartment complex -- the buildings with a thousand stories of the notables who have lived there

Imprint: William Morrow 21st Century History Page Count: 352 Pub Date: February 2018 Manuscript Available World English Rights: HarperCollins US Translation Rights: Sterling Lord Literistic (JLS)

From the day The Watergate officially opened in October 1965, living there meant being at the epicenter of politics and international intrigue. Virtually every major Washington figure in the 1960’s and 1970’s -from J. Edgar Hoover to John and Martha Mitchell to Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward-had a connection to the building. In THE WATERGATE, writer and political consultant Joseph Rodota skillfully weaves the stories of such insiders into a riveting narrative history of a building that was a central hub of Washington for more than a decade. Along the way, Rodota introduces us to the Watergate’s secret movers and shakers who made the Beltway tick. There’s Anna Chenault, who dated Tommy Corcoran, Washington’s first “super lobbyist,” and was known as Washington’s “Tiger Hostess” for the lavish dinners and cocktail parties she hosted in her Watergate penthouse. Walter Pforzheimer, one of the “founding fathers” of the CIA, kept two apartments at the Watergate, one for his collection of literature on spying, and the other to sleep in. He chose the building because its cement-and-steel construction meant the floor was strong enough to hold his safe, and was a ubiquitous, if enigmatic, presence at the complex. And during the Nixon-Watergate scandal, the irrepressible Martha Mitchell was actually living there! During the Clinton years, it was almost known as "little Little Rock." Through the stories of both Washington royalty, and these lesser-known yet fascinating residents, Rodota achieves a history of Washington through the chronicle of its best-known residential building.

JOSEPH RODOTA is a writer and consultant, and the founder and CEO of Forward Observer, a consulting firm. He has worked at the highest levels of federal, state, and local politics for more than 30 years, serving as a writer and communications manager in the Reagan White House and as a top campaign and government aide to California governors Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has written for the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Huffington Post, among other publications. 113

Goodbye, Sweet Girl A Story of Domestic Violence and Survival

By Kelly Sundberg A stunningly honest memoir from Kelly Sundberg about an abusive marriage that daringly examines both the tenderness and the violence of a relationship gone terribly wrong.

Imprint: Harper Personal Memoirs Page Count: 272 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World English Rights: HarperCollins US Translation Rights: David Black Literary (JLS)

“You made me hit you in the face,” he said mournfully. “Now everyone is going to know.” “I know,” I said. “I’m sorry.” In her wonderfully brave and beautifully written memoir, GOODBYE SWEET GIRL, Kelly Sundberg chronicles her abusive marriage, once a love story, and examines why she endured years of physical and emotional abuse. Sundberg’s husband, Caleb, is a writer, sometimes funny and warm and a wonderful father to their little boy Reed—but, too often, he is vengeful and violent. It takes a decade for Sundberg to ultimately see that the partnership she so desires cannot come from such a broken man. Her remarkable book is an intimate record of the joys and terrors of this difficult time, a haunting view into why women stay much too long in dangerous relationships. Along the way Sundberg reckons with her family and childhood by telling the story of Salmon, a small, isolated mountain town known as the most redneck town in Idaho. Like her marriage, Salmon too is a place of deep contradictions, where Mormon ranchers and hippie backto-landers live side-by-side; a place of magical beauty riven by secret brutality; a place that takes pride in its individualism yet acceptance is sought and attained via the approval of the church and community, at all costs. Mesmerizing and poetic, GOODBYE, SWEET GIRL is an ultimately redemptive and unflinchingly honest memoir about a woman who learns to believe that she deserves better. KELLY SUNDBERGs essays have appeared in Guernica, Quarterly West, The Los Angeles Review, MidAmerican Review, PANK, and others. Most recently, her essay “It Will Look Like a Sunset” was selected by Ariel Levy for publication in 2015 Best American Essays anthology. She is a PhD candidate in Creative Nonfiction at Ohio University where she is also the Managing Editor of Brevity Magazine: A Journal of Concise Literary Nonfiction. 114

Kickflip Boys By Neal Thompson A moving, funny, and insightful memoir about a father’s struggle to accept his sons’ love of skateboarding

Imprint: Ecco Personal Memoirs Page Count: 208 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Rob Weisbach Creative Management (CBR)

What makes a good father, and what makes one a failure? Does permissive parenting inspire independence and strength, or does it breed boys prone to rebellion and trouble? Kickflip Boys is the story of a father’s struggle to understand his two skateboarder sons, to accept his role as a skate dad, and to confront his fears that they’re destined for an unconventional and potentially fraught future. With searing honesty, Neal Thompson traces his sons’ progression through all the stages of skateboarding: splurging on skate shoes and boards, run-ins with security guards, skipping classes and defying teachers, painting graffiti, drinking and smoking, and more. He also reflects on his own upbringing in rural New Jersey, how skating and biking and getting drunk and stoned with his brother and friends all seemed much more innocent than they do now. Before his sons enter high school, Thompson takes his sons and their closest friends on a cross-country tour of America’s skate parks with the hope of learning more about skate culture and history. Along the way, he reflects on his own triumphs and failures as a “skate dad,” while rediscovering the excitement and frustration of being a teenage boy. KICKFLIP BOYS is the story of a loving modern American family, of the risks of less-is-more parenting. It’s the story of thrill-seeking, rebellious teens, of hope and love, anger and fear, freedom and failure. And it’s the story of an American-born sport that’s become a refuge for adolescent boys. NEAL THOMPSON is a journalist and author of the critically-acclaimed biography A Curious Man: The Strange & Brilliant Life of Robert “Believe It or Not” Ripley. Thompson’s magazine writing has appeared in Esquire, Outside, Men’s Health, among other publications. He currently works at Amazon.com, where he oversees their grant program. He lives in Seattle with his family. 115

Piper Weiss was fourteen-years-old when her middle-aged tennis coach, Gary Wilensky, one of New York City’s most prestigious private instructors, killed himself after a failed attempt to kidnap one of his teenage students. In the aftermath, authorities discovered that this well-known-figure among the Upper East Side tennis crowd was actually a frightening child predator, who had built a secret torture chamber—a “Cabin of Horrors”—in his secluded rental in the Adirondacks. Before the shocking scandal broke, Piper had been thrilled to be one of “Gary’s Girls.” “Grandpa Gary,” as he was known among his students, was different from other adults—he treated Piper like a grown-up, taking her to dinners, engaging in long intimate conversations, and sending her special valentines. As reporters swarmed her private community in the wake of Wilensky’s death, Piper learned that her mentor was a predator with a sordid history of child stalking and sexual fetish. But why did she still feel protective of Gary, and why was she disappointed that he hadn’t chosen her? Now, twenty years later, Piper examines the event as both a teenage eyewitness and a dispassionate investigative reporter, hoping to understand and exorcise the childhood memories that haunt her to this day. Combining research, interviews, and personal records, You All Grow Up and Leave Me explores the psychological manipulation of child predators—their ability to charm their way into seemingly protected worlds—and the far-reaching effects their actions have on those who trust them most. PIPER WEISS has served as editorial director for HelloGiggles and as features editor for the New York Daily News and Yahoo. She is the author of the book My Mom, Style Icon, and has written for various publications, including Glamour, Hazlitt, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Elle.com and Refinery29.

Molly Bloom formed the most elite high-stakes poker game Hollywood had ever seen—she was its mistress, its lion tamer, its agent, and its oxygen. Everyone wanted in, few were invited to the table. In the late 2000s, Molly Bloom, a 20-something petite brunette from Loveland Colorado, ran the highest stakes, most exclusive poker game in existence. Hundreds of millions of dollars were won and lost at her table. Molly’s game became the game for those in the know-celebrities, business moguls, and millionaires. Molly staged her games in palatial suites with beautiful views and exquisite amenities. She flew privately, dined at exquisite restaurants, hobnobbed with the heads of Hollywood studios, was courted by handsome leading men, and was privy to the world’s most delicious gossip, until it all came crashing down around her and she lost everything. MOLLY’S GAME is a behind the scenes look at Molly’s game, the life she created, the life she lost, and what she learned in the process. Film rights have been acquired by Sony Pictures.

“The only person I really believe in is me.” - Debbie Harry. With her two-tone bleached-blonde hair, cool sexuality and streetwise style, Debbie Harry is more than a girl in a band. She is an icon of fashion, art, music, and culture, a signifier of an era and the face of a genre. Fronting Blondie, she led the bold, brash band that became a marquee name during the late 70s/early 80s, a time when New York City was a hotbed of creativity and new sounds in rock and roll. A regular at Studio 54, a Rolling Stone cover girl, the subject of a series of Warhol silk-screens and a leader in the music video revolution, Harry’s influence on art is vast and undeniable. Always presenting herself with a bit of cool mystique, Debbie has kept the media and her fans at length for her entire career…until now. In her memoir, Harry will present her full self and full story; from her days as the adopted daughter of a middle class family in Hawthorne, NJ through to now, when she continues to amaze audiences well into her seventies. But of course, the heart of the book will be the story of Blondie, and the relationships that defined her life-with Chris Stein, with her fans, and with New York City. A beautifully written and richly told story, Debbie Harry’s memoir will be a publishing event. DEBORAH "DEBBIE" HARRY is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known as the lead singer of Blondie. She recorded several worldwide number one singles with Blondie during the 1970s and 1980s. She has also had success as a solo artist before reforming Blondie in the late 1990s.

How Not to Get Shot And Other Advice From White People By D. L. Hughley From comedian D.L. Hughley—one of "The Original Kings of Comedy"—comes a cutting satire of race relations in the age of Trump and Black Lives Matter

Imprint: William Morrow Political Humor Page Count: 288 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: December 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: 3 Arts Entertainment, Inc. (JLS)

“White people,” D.L. Hughley remarks, “are always giving out ‘helpful’ advice, such as: ‘Comply with the police and you won’t get shot.’ They’ve been doling out advice to black people ever since ‘I suggest you pick the cotton if you don’t like getting whipped.’ Not getting shot by the police has long been a problem for black people. Even when we had a black president! Now that we have a new set of overlords, with President Trump at the head, wouldn’t it be nice to get a little advice on how not to get shot?” How Not to Get Shot is a biting work of social commentary from one of America’s most legendary satirists. Featuring sections ranging from “How to make cops feel more comfortable while they’re handcuffing you” and “The right way to wear a hoodie” to “How to make white food, like lobster rolls” and “Ten types of white people you meet in the suburbs,” the book shows that humor is one of the most effective tools for drawing attention to injustice. Written in Hughley’s inimitable voice—and filled with illustrations and pictures to illuminate the “lessons,” How Not to Get Shot is sure to be a major topic of conversation as we enter the second year of the Trump administration. D.L. HUGHLEY is one of “The Original Kings of Comedy.” His comedy specials have appeared on HBO and Showtime. His satirical documentary special, DL Hughley: The Endangered List, received the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award in 2012. He also created and starred in the ABC sitcom The Hughleys and has hosted shows on BET, Comedy Central, TBS, and CNN. He currently hosts the nationally syndicated radio program The D.L. Hughley Show. His first book, I WANT YOU TO SHUT THE F#CK UP, was hailed as “the best book since The Hunger Games by Chris Rock, and his latest, Black Man, White House, as “the book everyone is laughing about” by Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough. Black Man, White House hit the New York Times humor bestseller list. D.L. lives with his family in Los Angeles, California. 123

The Man Who Made the Movies The Meteoric Rise and Tragic Fall of William Fox By Vanda Krefft The first biography of William Fox, The Man Who Made the Movies is a landmark book about a fascinating, brilliant man who risked everything to realize his bold dream of a Hollywood empire—and a riveting story of ambition, greed, and genius set in Gilded Age America. “Stunningly researched, lucidly told, and consistently illuminating, Vanda Krefft’s The Man Who Made the Movies is actually the story of America: the tale of an immigrant who rises high, a captain of industry capturing dreams, a visionary later forgotten after the forces he helped to broker bring him down. And yet the dream remains. So too will movie-maker William Fox, with many thanks to Vanda Krefft.” —Brenda Wineapple, award-winning author of Ecstatic Nation and White Heat

A major studio still bears William Fox’s name, but the man himself has mostly been overlooked by history, even written off as a failure. Now, Vanda Krefft corrects the record, explaining why Fox’s legacy is central to the rise of Hollywood. At the heart of William Fox’s life was the intoxicating myth of the American Dream—his story is intertwined with the fate of the 19th-century immigrants who flooded into New York; with the city’s vibrant and ruthless Gilded Age history; and the birth of America’s iconic movie industry. Drawing on a decade of original research, THE MAN WHO MADE THE MOVIES weaves a rich, compelling narrative that portrays Fox as a multi-dimensional character in the context of his time, which happens to be one of the most fascinating and formative eras in America’s past. Fox’s defining desire fueled his extraordinary ambition, and eventually grew one small Brooklyn theater into an empire of studios and theaters that rivaled those of legendary figures like Marcus Loew, Louis B. Mayer, and the Warner Brothers. Because each of them wanted to secure the lion’s share of the exploding movie business, the history of the American film industry is one of endless competition in races of artistic vision, ambition, ostentation, and innovation—and Fox was at the forefront, taking big risks, reaping big rewards, and advancing film technology. VANDA KREFFT is a former magazine and newspaper journalist who has covered the entertainment industry for publications such as Elle and the Los Angeles Times. This is her first book, and in support of this work she has received a Biography Fellowship from the Leon Levy Center for Biography at the City University of New York Graduate Center; a Senior Fellowship from the Dedalus Foundation; an Albert M. Greenfield Fellowship from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania; and numerous other grants and residencies. 125

True Stories from an Unreliable Eyewitness A Feminist Coming of Age

By Christine Lahti From Academy, Emmy, and Golden-Globe Award-winning actress and director Christine Lahti comes a fiercely intelligent, hilarious, and deeply feminist collection of interrelated personal stories

Imprint: Harper Wave Personal Memoirs Page Count: 224 Pub Date: April 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 UK Rights: HarperCollins US Translation Rights: Kuhn Projects (JS)

From the Academy Award, Emmy and Golden-Globe Award-winning actress and director Christine Lahti, TRUE STORIES FROM AN UNRELIABLE EYEWITNESS is a fiercely intelligent, poignant, moving and hilarious collection of interrelated personal stories that focus on three major periods of Christine's life: her childhood, her early journey as an actress and activist, and as a middle-aged woman in Hollywood today. Christine's stories highlight the watershed moments of clarity in an endless struggle to maintain integrity; fight her need to be perfect; and to be true to her feminist inclinations. Christine's intelligent, comical yet self-deprecating voice is reminiscent of Nora Ephron's I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK and Joan Rivers's I HATE EVERYONE. She can be seen as the spiritual mother to such young feminist actresses and comedic voices as Amy Schumer; Lena Dunham with her book, NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL, Caitlin Moran's HOW TO BE A WOMAN and Jenny Lawson's LET’S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED. TRUE STORIES FROM AN UNRELIABLE EYEWITNESS is about the power of storytelling to affirm and reframe the bedrock of who we are (even if we can't fully remember what happened), told by a wildly fresh, stunning new voice of memoir. With the unshakable ability to laugh at herself time and time again, True Stories is Christine Lahti's best performance yet. CHRISTINE LAHTI is an Academy Award-winning, Golden Globe and Emmy Award winning acclaimed director and stage, television, and film actress with a career that spans over forty years. She won an Oscar for her short film, Lieberman in Love, and a Golden Globe award twice: once for the 1989 TV movie No Place Like Home, and the second time for her role as Kate Austin in the CBS series Chicago Hope (1995-99) for which she also won an Emmy Award. She was the Broadway star of 8, God of Carnage, and The Heidi Chronicles among others. She most recently starred alongside Katie Holmes and Griffin Dunne in the film Touched with Fire. 126

(CBR)

In 1995, 21-year-old Alanis Morissette burst onto the international music scene, speaking directly and vulnerably and without apology about her deeply human experiences of love, loss and hope....something her fans quickly began relying on. Jagged Little Pill was raw, hypnotic, unself-conscious and surprisingly beautiful, and no one had ever heard anything quite like it. The album was nominated for nine Grammys and won five, including Album of the Year making her the youngest artist in history to win the honor, and would go on to sell 33 million copies, breaking the Guinness World Record of biggest selling debut, and making Alanis a household name. 60 million records, multiple awards and international tours later, Alanis continues to imbue her art with her inimitable style and narrative: direct, clear, powerful, compelling and sometimes shocking (even to herself). Perpetual Becoming is memoir Alanis-style, an off-beat, captivating, seeringly honest contemplation-meetsrevelation on love, fame, celebrity, trauma, addiction and recovery, and the mad joy of creating and honoring your own true self, day by day. From her tender years in Ottawa as a music prodigy through the upheaval and trauma of international fame to her search for meaning when you have “everything” to her current rich and fulfilling life as an multitalented artist, wife, mother, activist, teacher, business woman and god girl, Morissette interweaves her personal story with hard-won wisdom, philosophy, spirituality, guidance and often cheeky tips on how to live an authentic life—including how to beat love addiction, find a suitable mate, deal with a narcissist, prioritize self-care, recover from burn-out, and honor your deepest impulses. Profound, profane, heart warming and laugh your ass off funny, Perpetual Becoming is Alanis at her outspoken best. 127

Rebel My Life Outside the Lines

By Nick Nolte Hollywood icon Nick Nolte describes his rise to Hollywood stardom, from intense method actor to commercial success; his intimate work with legends like Jacqueline Bisset, Katharine Hepburn, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand; his troubled marriages; the long road of drug use ending in the infamous Malibu arrest; and his inspired comeback that resulted in an Oscar nomination for his role in 2011’s Warrior.

Imprint: William Morrow Entertainment & Performing Arts Page Count: 272 Pub Date: January 2018 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins (CBR)

In a career spanning five decades, actor Nick Nolte has experienced all the rites of Hollywood stardom: rising from obscurity to acclaim, celebrity romances, starring roles, Oscar nominations, being named “Sexiest Man Alive,” marriages and divorces, public battles with drinking and drugs, and tabloid vilification. Throughout ups and downs, he’s steadily made his mark playing a diverse range of characters, with his trademark athleticism and gravelly voice. Already 35 when his role in the 1976 miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man launched his acting career, Nolte never learned to play by Hollywood’s rules. He’s preferred personal, edgier projects that have ranged from “make” films like North Dallas Forty to box-office hits like Prince of Tides. He’s pursued an intense, obsessive form of method acting, to the point of living with the homeless to prepare for Down and Out in Beverly Hills, prompting his costar Bette Midler to say that he was “too filthy to work with.” And he followed a decade of box office success and awards in the ‘90s with a “long road of nothingness” in Malibu, through drug addiction and ending in arrest. For a man who’s been around long enough to understand the cycles of the business, it’s no surprise that he’s busy once again coming off of an Oscar-nominated performance in Warrior - not only with a list of upcoming film projects, but with raising his 5-year-old daughter. But he’s never been a man to hide from his mistakes, and in this revealing memoir from one of Hollywood’s most talented actors, readers have a candid and deeply personal look at the life and career of Nick Nolte. NICK NOLTE is an actor who has been active in Hollywood for over 40 years. He first gained national attention and critical acclaim for his performance in Rich Man, Poor Man, a 1976 television miniseries, and went on to star in films including 48 Hrs. (1982), Another 48 Hrs. (1990), Cape Fear (1991), Lorenzo’s Oil (1992), Afterglow (1997), Affliction (1997), The Thin Red Line (1998), The Good Thief (2003), and Warrior (2011). He has been nominated for three Academy Awards, twice for Best Actor and once for Best Supporting Actor. 128

Why Bob Dylan Matters By Richard F. Thomas Harvard Classics professor and celebrated "Dylan-ologist" Richard F. Thomas makes a compelling case for why the music and lyrics of Bob Dylan endure and inspire us, growing out of his freshman seminar on Dylan at Harvard.

Imprint: Dey Street Books History & Criticism Page Count: 352 Pub Date: November 2017 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins (CB)

Professor Richard Thomas, whose wildly popular course has been dubbed "Dylan 101" at Harvard, is breeding a new crop of Dylan fans. The course is a testament to the ongoing relevance and the intergenerational appeal of Bob Dylan, inciting lively class debates on subjects that range from sexism in "Just Like a Woman," to the eclectic literary references in Dylan's work. Growing out of the course, WHY DYLAN MATTERS is a celebration of Dylan's genius that explores his music in the context of current events, popular culture of the last half-century, through the lens of literary works that have influenced Dylan, and in the tradition of classical poets like Virgil and Homer. Thomas asks readers to consider, "What makes a classic?", and probes the question of why Dylan's work continues to resonate and to speak to us today, particularly in light of his award of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature. Throughout the book, Thomas decodes and interprets Dylan's lyrics, contextualizing them for the modern day and illuminating their meaning for die-hard Dylan lovers, as well as for a new generation of Dylan fans. RICHARD F. THOMAS is George Martin Lane Professor of the Classics at Harvard University, a Bob Dylan expert, and the creator for a freshman seminar at Harvard on Bob Dylan.

Non-Fiction 133

Fascism By Madeleine Albright From one of our from one of our most admired public figures comes a timely, considered and personal look at the history and current resurgence of fascism. A quarter century ago, when the Cold War ended, many felt democracy had aced its severest test. Elder Stateswoman Madeleine Albright was among them. Suffice it to say: history’s direction no longer seems so obvious. An all-too-familiar force has begun to re-emerge on the global stage and, Albright argues, it looks very much like fascism. In this brilliant and urgent new book, Albright suggests that fascism poses a more virulent threat to international freedom, prosperity, and peace than at any time in the past eighty years. Based on her personal experience living in Hungary during World War II and the subsequent Communist regime, and her distinguished career as Secretary of State, Albright paints a clear picture of what failure to act against fascist forces might yield. In FASCISM, she examines the potential for economic catastrophe, a lasting spike in terrorist activity, fresh outbreaks of sectarian violence, a rash of large-scale humanitarian emergencies, massive violations of human rights, a general breakdown in multilateral cooperation, and mammoth self-inflicted damage to America’s reputation and capacity to lead. Albright describes how fascism begins, how it gains momentum, and how the tools of the state can be used to suppress, divide, intimidate, and destroy opposition. Drawing on the insights of her former colleagues and contacts abroad, she explores why, in many countries, impatience has grown with democratic methods, and how demagogues attract followers through the promise of easy answers and quick results.

Every four years, Americans turn their attention to the world’s game--soccer. As recently as 1998, the USMNT merely made up the numbers at the biggest sporting tournament of all, but once Bruce Arena took over the team, American soccer started to find its footing. In the 2002 World Cup, a highly-fancied Portugal team, featuring the great Ronaldo, lost to Arena’s US team in a shock 3-2 victory, and but for a handball that wasn’t given, they could well have knocked off eventual winners Germany. But that quarter final appearance proved once and for all that the USMNT, like the women’s team before them, deserved to be considered a worthy opponent--and that’s all thanks to Bruce Arena. When he took over the USMNT, Arena was already the most successful club team coach in US history, having led DC United to the first two championships of the fledgling MLS. Arena--known for his tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach to coaching--inspired and instilled just enough fear into his teams to make them overachieve. By 2016, however, the national team was in a funk--coach Jurgen Klinsmann had brought the team to near elimination during the qualifying rounds for Russia. Cue Arena’s return to the stage, and the team’s return to form. Arena’s book will appear just as the team makes its final preparations for the World Cup, and at last fans will learn what makes this hugely successful coach tick. And the thousands of coaches around the country will turn to COACHING AMERICA to see exactly how they can instill Arena’s blueprint for success on their own bands of young players. BRUCE ARENA is the most storied--and successful--soccer coach in U.S. history. Now on his second tour of duty leading the U.S. men’s national team (as they head to Russia for the 2018 World Cup), Arena has won most everything there is to win. Originally a lacrosse coach, Arena excelled at coaching soccer, too, and after winning five national championships with UVA, he took over the Major League Soccer franchise D.C. United in 1996, and won the first two MLS Cups in the new league’s first two seasons. After DC he took over a historically poor USMNT, and turned them into a successful outfit, taking them all the way to the quarter finals of the 2002 World Cup. Moving back to the MLS after the 2006 World Cup, Arena eventually found his way to Los Angeles, where he delivered three MLS Cups in four years. In 2016, Arena replaced Jurgen Klinsmann as the US head coach of the men’s national team. 135

Dead Girls By Alice Bolin A collection of sharp, poignant essays that expertly blends the personal and political in an exploration of American culture through the lens of our obsession with dead women, from talented emerging writer Alice Bolin.

Imprint: William Morrow Paperbacks Feminist Literary Page Count: 280 Pub Date: July 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: InkWell Management LLC (CB)

“American boys in their grievance and longing invented their dream girl, the Dead Girl.... Like other writers before me, I have tried to make something about women from stories that were always and only about men.” In the style made popular by Roxane Gay’s breakout Bad Feminist, Alice Bolin turns a critical eye to literature and pop culture, to the effect of the media we consume on our society, and to her own place within it. Covering everything from Joan Didion and James Baldwin to “Twin Peaks” and “True Detective,” Bolin illuminates our widespread obsession with the bodies of women who are consistently hurt, killed, disenfranchised, and used as props to bolster a man’s story. From life in Los Angeles to classic noir to dissecting the “Dead Girl Show,” this collection challenges the narratives we create and tell ourselves, delving into the perils of toxic masculinity, and those of white womanhood. Beginning with the problem of dead women in fiction, it expands to the larger problem of living American women – the persistent injustices they suffer, and the oppression that white women help perpetrate. ALICE BOLIN’s nonfiction has appeared in many publications including ELLE, the Awl, the LA Review of Books, Salon, VICE's Broadly, The Paris Review Daily, and The New Yorker's PageTurner blog. She is the nonfiction editor for Electric Literature’s weekly literary magazine of short things, Okey-Panky. She is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Creative Nonfiction at the University of Memphis. 136

Next in Line Presidents, Vice Presidents, and the Quest for Power By Kate Andersen Brower From Kate Andersen Brower, the New York Times bestselling author of FIRST WOMEN, and THE RESIDENCE, an intimate, news making look at the men who have held the second-most powerful office in the world, the vice presidents of the modern era, from Richard Nixon to Mike Pence.

Imprint: Harper American Government / Executive Branch Page Count: 400 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Ross Yoon Agency (JS)

Vice presidents live partway in the spotlight and part in the wings. The relationships with the presidents they serve under (or alongside) are rich and compelling. Of the 47 vice presidents who have served this country, 14 of them have gone on to become president, and eight of them were due to the president’s death or assassination. A very tangible sense of admiration mixed with jealousy and resentment invades nearly all of these relationships, even the best ones. Vice presidents owe their position to the president, but this connection also affects how they are perceived after their term—and their possible future as a presidential candidate is tied, for better or for worse, to the president they most recently served. George HW Bush and Reagan had a famously prickly relationship in the 1976 and 1980 primaries, but it’s clear that Bush would not have been president without Reagan’s high approval rating. Al Gore’s 2000 loss, meanwhile, could be attributed in part by the public’s negative impression of the president he served and the sexual scandal involving Monica Lewinsky. Deeply reported and wonderfully written, NEXT IN LINE will be the first major book to look at the office. In her signature style, Brower will pull back the curtain of secrecy and cover thirteen modern vice presidents—eight Republicans and five Democrats. Full of previously untold stories, but also deeply grounded in history and politics FIRST IN LINE is full of the headline-grabbing news and revelations that made THE RESIDENCE and FIRST WOMEN bestsellers and will also attract a new audience among history readers and political buffs. KATE ANDERSEN BROWER is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Residence and New York Times bestseller First Women. She is a CNN contributor and has spent four years covering the Obama White House for Bloomberg News and is a former CBS News staffer and Fox News producer. She has written for the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Time, the Washington Post, and Bloomberg Businessweek.

Autonomy The Race to Build the Driverless Car —And How It Will Reshape Our World By Lawrence D. Burns A veteran insider of the automotive and tech worlds takes a deep dive into the race to develop and perfect the driverless car—an innovation that promises to be the most disruptive change to our way of life since the smartphone

Imprint: Ecco Business & Economics Page Count: 320 Pub Date: August 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: McDermid Agency Inc. (CBR)

In the past decade, titans of the old automobile industry, like GM, have been partnering with robust tech startups, such as Tesla and Uber, to revolutionize the way we move around the world—and everyone wants a piece of the action. It’s not a question of whether the self-driving car will disrupt the automobile industry; it’s a question of when, how, and who will do it. In AUTONOMY, former GM executive and current advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car project Lawrence Burns offers a sweeping history of the race to make the driverless car a reality. In 2007, the auto industry was about to go belly up. Meanwhile, Google was spearheading its autonomous car project, Travis Kalanick was just getting Uber off the ground, and Elon Musk was preparing to introduce an all-new, electrically-powered Tesla model. Burns takes us through these four major developments, traces how they’ve converged over the past several years, and explains how they’ve set the stage for the mobility revolution. With the first driverless car likely to hit markets in less than ten years, Burns also looks toward the future and explains how this new technology will impact our lives, for better and for worse—from drastically reducing our carbon footprint and eliminating 90 percent of road fatalities, to automating yet another segment of blue collar industries, putting more workers out of a job. We are on the brink of a technological revolution that promises to fundamentally change how we interact with our world. A chronicle of the past, diagnosis of the present, and prediction of the future, AUTONOMY is the ultimate guide to understanding the driverless car and to navigating the revolution it sparks. LAWRENCE D. BURNS was a professor of engineering at the University of Michigan and served as corporate vice president of Research & Development and Strategic Planning at General Motors, where he oversaw GM’s advanced technology, innovation programs, and corporate strategy. He now serves as an advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car and is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He lives in Franklin, Michigan. 138

Crash Test Girl An Unlikely Experiment in Applying the Scientific Method to Life By Kari Byron From Kari Byron—former host of Discovery Channel’s wildly popular, iconic cult-classic Mythbusters and television’s favorite female scientist—a how-to guide for using explosions, chemical reactions, and the scientific method to answer life’s toughest questions

Imprint: HarperOne Science & Technology Page Count: 224 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Folio Literary Management (CBR)

When most of us think “scientist,” we tend to conjure up images of bespectacled men in lab coats hunched over test tubes. But Kari Byron takes the stereotype and stigma around science and—quite literally—blows it up. As the former host of Discovery Channel’s insanely popular, cult-classic Mythbusters and current host of Netflix’s White Rabbit Project, Byron has taken a love of art, sculpture, and special effects and turned it into a day job that regularly involves explosives and hard hats, and in the process has catapulted herself into an unexpected role as the nerdy queen of scientific stunts. Together, her and her cohosts have tested 885 myths, filmed over 7,200 hours, set off 815 explosions, and used 43,500 yards of duct tape. Through it all, they’ve applied a simple approach to examining each urban legend: The Scientific Method—question, hypothesize, experiment, observe, analyze, and repeat. Along the way, Kari discovered that not only is it the perfect narrative for busting myths, it’s also the perfect tool for solving everyday problems. From unsatisfying relationships to depression and debt, the scientific method became her go-to process for discovering and growing, and coming to conclusions that lead to greater wisdom, happiness and success (while having a lot of fun in the process). CRASH TEST GIRL investigates and explores: How to use The Scientific Method to solve life’s toughest problems and gain clarity in uncertain situations Behind-the-scenes secrets and memorable moments from the gnarliest episodes of Mythbusters DIY science experiments for bringing awesome chemical reactions and mini-explosions into your home Advice for young women interested in STEM and tools for breaking through stereotypes and prejudices CRASH TEST GIRL gives readers the life-changing gifts of science from the much-needed perspective of a badass woman and unconventional expert. In short: Take risks. Be proudly weird. Crash and learn. KARI BYRON has been the most recognizable, honored and beloved woman in science-based reality TV for the last fourteen years. On the Discovery Channel, she hosted MythBusters, the network’s flagship show (and its biggest, longest running hit) from 2003 to 2016, with peak ratings of a few million viewers per episode. On the Science Channel, Kari hosted Punpkin Chunkin and Large Dangerous Rocket Ships, and produced, created and hosted forty episodes over four seasons of Head Rush. On Netflix, Kari and her Mythbusters co-hosts Tory and Grant star in White Rabbit Project, released in December 2016. Kari is currently touring a live show with Tory and Grant, and starring in a new NatGeo series airing this fall. Kari is a strong, vocal proponent of science education, serving as a STEM ambassador for the 4-H Club organization. Kari makes frequent appearances as a host, panelist, and speaker at prestigious events for the Clinton Foundation, the Obama White House, 139 Google, Smithsonian, SXSW, ComicCon, and at universities across the country.

Gaslighting America Why We Love It When Trump Lies to Us

By Amanda Carpenter Most people think they hate it when President Trump tells a story with little connection to the truth. As Amanda Carpenter, CNN contributor and former Ted Cruz staffer, points out, in practice we greet each new one with excitement.

Imprint: Broadside Books Commentary & Opinion Page Count: 224 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: LopezTalent Management (JLS)

“Can you believe what Donald Trump said?” Before the 2016 election, Amanda Carpenter viewed foreign lands where dictators could convince entire populations of people that two plus two equals something other than four as tragic glitches in history that could never happen here. Not anymore. Trump and his wild accusations have stirred something deep among his supporters--a sense of commitment so strong that there is practically nothing Trump could say that would ever drive them away.. The GOP has long felt that the government and media has deceived them and finally, a candidate came along who would unapologetically dish it right back. His wild antics, strangely enough, demonstrated his total commitment to winning. It signaled that Trump would let nothing stand between himself and his political goals, let alone the truth. For many of Trump supporters, who believed losing the election would mean losing America, lying became a form of loyalty to the cause of making their beloved country great again. Carpenter knows this because she lived it. As a conservative former staffer to a competing presidential campaign, she watched her fellow Republicans fall in line behind Trump, despite his questionable history and outrageous statements. As a television commentator, she was publicly smeared by one of his supporters on live television without a shred of evidence supporting the allegations. Slowly, she watched her entire party succumb to and then become defenders of his tactics. In GASLIGHTING AMERICA, she reveals his formula, showing why it’s practically foolproof, playing the victims, the media, the Democrats, and the Republican fence sitters perfectly every time. She also shows how it started with Nixon, went big time with Bill Clinton, and is infecting every part of our discourse . If you think Trump is driving you crazy, it’s because he is. And only this book shows us how to withstand the fire. AMANDA CARPENTER is a political commentator, writer, and former senior staffer to Senators Jim DeMint and Ted Cruz. She has written for The Washington Post, Townhall.com, Politico, Human Events and Cosmopolitan.

Hunting El Chapo The Thrilling Inside Story of the American Lawman Who Captured the World's Most Wanted Drug Lord By Cole Merrell and Douglas Century A blend of Manhunt, Killing Pablo, and Zero Dark Thirty, Cole Merrell and Douglas Century’s sensational investigative high-tech thriller chronicles a riveting chapter in the twentieth-century drug wars: the exclusive inside story of the American lawman and his dangerous eight-year hunt that captured El Chapo—the world’s most wanted drug kingpin who evaded capture for more than a decade Every generation has a larger-than-life criminal: Jesse James, Billy the Kid, John Dillinger, Al Capone, John Gotti, Pablo Escobar. But each of these notorious lawbreakers had a “white hat” in pursuit: Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, Eliot Ness, Steve Murphy. For notorious drug lord Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera—El Chapo—that lawman is former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Cole Merrell. In 2006, fresh out of the D.E.A. Academy, Merrell heads west to Arizona where he immediately plunges into a series of gripping undercover adventures, all unknowingly placing him on the trail of Guzmán, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a Forbes billionaire and Public Enemy No. 1 in the United States. Six years later, as head of the D.E.A.’s Sinaloa Cartel desk in Mexico City, Merrell finds his life and Chapo’s are ironically, on parallel paths: they’re both obsessed with the details. In a recasting of the classic American Western on the global stage, HUNTING EL CHAPO takes us on Merrell’s quest to achieve the seemingly impossible, from infiltrating El Chapo’s inner circle to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with an elite brigade of trusted Mexican Marines—racing door-to-door through the cartel’s stronghold and ultimately bringing the elusive and murderous king-pin to justice.A cinematic crime story following the relentless investigative work of Merrell and his team unfolds at breakneck speed, taking the reader behind the scenes of one of the most sophisticated and dangerous counter-narcotics operations in the history of the United States and Mexico.

The Cold War's Killing Fields By Paul Thomas Chamberlin A conversation-changing global military history of the Cold War by a brilliant young historian at Columbia that places the decade-long superpower struggles alongside the two World Wars as one of the three great conflicts of the twentieth century and reveals how bloody the "Long Peace" actually was.

Imprint: Harper Military History Page Count: 592 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: John Wright Literary Agency (JS)

For most readers, mention of the Cold War conjures images of the Berlin Wall and the Cuban Missile Crisis, McCarthyism, and the Gulag. But although bloody conflicts broke out in Korea and Vietnam, we see this as a time of high political drama rather than wholesale destruction. Our understanding is that the Cold War was primarily a diplomatic standoff. Now, in this deeply researched and boldly argued new book, Paul Thomas Chamberlin suggests that there is something dreadfully wrong with this popular understanding of the conflict—a haunting reality that lingers just beyond the edge of historical memory. The Cold War's dead, he argues, over fifteen million in total, remain silent, largely forgotten, and all but lost to history. Deeply necessary and important, THE COLD WAR’S KILLING FIELDS fills a gaping hole in the literature on the military history of the Cold War by making the simple but provocative argument: that the Cold War was not what we have been told. It was a vast, bloody conflict that killed millions on battlegrounds across Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. For half a century, as an uneasy peace hung over Europe, a ferocious war raged in the Cold War's killing fields. A tremendous work of scholarship, THE COLD WAR’S KILLING FIELDS is the first global military history of the superpower conflict and the first full accounting of its devastating impact on societies around the world. Sure to be controversial and incite debate, Chamberlin's work will appeal to readers of histories like Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands. Chamberlin reframes this moment in global history and reveals the heretofore ignored battles fought to prevent nuclear war, mark out the boundaries of the American and Soviet empires, and determine the fate of societies throughout the Third World. PAUL CHAMBERLIN is Associate Professor of History at Columbia University. He received his PhD from The Ohio State University after studying at the American University of Cairo and the University of Damascus and has held fellowships at Yale University and Williams College. His dissertation won the 2010 Oxford University Press prize for the best dissertation in international history. His first book, The Global Offensive: The United States, the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the Making of the Post-Cold War Order is an international history of the Palestinian liberation struggle. 142

Why Comics? From Underground to Everywhere By Hillary Chute A comics expert reveals what makes one of the most critically acclaimed and popular art forms— comics—so appealing and unique

Imprint: Harper Comics & Graphic Novels Page Count: 464 Pub Date: December 2017 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Zoe Pagnamenta Agency (JS)

Over the past half century, fans have elevated comics from the back pages of newspapers into one of the most popular forms of culture, from Fun Home, the critically acclaimed musical based on Alison Bechdel’s groundbreaking graphic memoir, to the dozens of superhero films that are annual blockbusters worldwide. What is the essence of comics’ appeal? What does this art form do that others can’t? In WHY COMICS? Hillary Chute chronicles comics culture, explaining underground comics (also known as comix), and graphic novels, analyzing their evolution and offering fascinating portraits of the creative men and women behind them. Chute reveals that comics - a blend of concise words and striking visuals—is an extraordinarily powerful and effective form of communication that stimulates us intellectually and emotionally, centering her analysis around three essential themes: • Why Disaster: How comics are uniquely suited to convey the scale and disorientation of calamity, from Art Spiegelman’s conceptions of the Holocaust and 9/11 to Keiji Nakazawa’s focus on Hiroshima; • Why Suburbs: How comics, from the work of Chris Ware to Charles Burns, illustrate the quiet joys and struggles of suburban existence; • Why Punk: How comics reflect the Punk movement’s DIY aesthetics and rejection of what came before—giving birth to a truly democratic art form that is becoming a medium of choice for some of today’s most significant artists. Featuring full-color reproductions of more than eighty significant comics pages and panels, including some famous but never-before reprinted images from comics legends, WHY COMICS? is an indispensable guide that offers a deeper understanding of this influential art form and its masters HILLARY CHUTE is an expert on comics and graphic narratives, a Professor of English and Art + Design at Northeastern University, and the author of Graphic Women: Life Narrative and Contemporary Comics; Outside the Box: Interviews with Contemporary Cartoonists; and Disaster Drawn: Visual Witness, Comics, and Documentary Form.

West Like Lightning The Brief, Legendary Ride of the Pony Express By Jim DeFelice The first, thrilling narrative history of the Pony Express, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim DeFelice

Imprint: William Morrow 19th Century History Page Count: 320 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Black Coyote, Inc (JLS)

In the spring of 1860, three men who had run stagecoach and freight businesses launched an ambitious new venture: the first transportation system to stretch across the western United States. The Pony Express, as it came to be known, used a relay system of horseback riders to bring mail from the Midwest all the way out to California, allowing a letter to travel from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific in just a week and a half, a revolutionary development. The founders of this new enterprise faced challenges that would give even Steve Jobs or Elon Musk second thoughts, including hostile Native Americans, vast deserts, mountain avalanches, extreme of temperature and weather, but succeeded in spite of them, delivering tens of thousands of letters at record speed. In WEST LIKE LIGHTNING, bestselling author Jim DeFelice takes the reader along the route of the Pony Express. Along the way, DeFelice plumbs the legends, myths, and true history of the Express, putting it in context and exploring its lasting relevance today. Though the Pony Express survived just a year and a half-its usefulness offset by the rise of the telegraph-it has endured in the public consciousness, emblematic of bedrock American values: rugged individualism, perseverance, and above all speed. Writing with a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by the Pony’s riders -- DeFelice has traveled the Express’s route, researching along the way -- this is narrative history at its finest, a rich exploration of an enduring icon of the American West. JIM DEFELICE is the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller AMERICAN SNIPER and the New York Times bestsellers AMERICAN WIFE and CODE NAME: Johnny Walker. DeFelice is the author of OMAR BRADLEY: General at War, the first in-depth critical biography of America's last five-star general. He also writes a number of acclaimed military thrillers, including the Rogue Warrior series from Richard Marcinko, founder of SEAL Team 6, and the novels in the Dreamland series with Dale Brown. 145

Doing Harm How Lazy Science and Bad Medicine Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, Poorly Treated, and Sick By Maya Dusenbery From the editor of Feministing.com, an eye-opening and long-overdue investigation of how modern medicine and healthcare are systematically failing women today—leading to inadequate, inappropriate, and even dangerous treatment that increasingly threatens women's lives and wellbeing.

Imprint: HarperOne Women's Health Page Count: 368 Pub Date: March 2018 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: c/o Author (CBR)

Editor of the award-winning site Feministing.com, Maya Dusenbery brings together scientific and sociological research, interviews with experts within and outside the medical establishment, and personal stories from women across the country to provide the first comprehensive, accessible look at how sexism in medicine harms women today. Dusenbery reveals how conditions that disproportionately affect women, such as autoimmune diseases, chronic pain conditions, and Alzheimer’s disease, are neglected and woefully under-researched. “Contested” diseases, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, that are 70 to 80 percent female-dominated are so poorly understood that they have not yet been fully accepted as “real” conditions by the whole of the profession. Meanwhile, despite a wealth of evidence showing the impact of biological difference between the sexes in everything from drug responses to symptoms to risk factors for various diseases-even the symptoms of a heart attack!— medicine continues to take a one-size-fits-all approach: that of a 70 kg white man. In addition, women are negatively impacted by the biases and stereotypes that dismiss them as “chronic complainers,” leading to long delays—often years long—to get diagnosed. The consequences are catastrophic. Offering a clear-eyed explanation of the root causes of this insidious and entrenched bias and laying out its effects, Doing Harm will change the way we look at healthcare for women. MAYA DUSENBERY is editor of Feministing.com, and regularly addresses college audiences on feminism and online media. She was a fellow at Mother Jones magazine, a columnist for Pacific Standard magazine, and has worked at the National Institute for Reproductive Health. Originally from Minnesota, she currently wanders. 146

Chasing the Demon The Deadly Quest to Break the Sound Barrier By Dan Hampton From New York Times bestselling author Dan Hampton, a thrilling narrative history of the race to break the sound barrier

Imprint: William Morrow Aviation History Page Count: 400 Pub Date: July 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins (JLS)

In the aftermath of World War II, deterrence became the central pillar of American foreign policy, as the U.S. sought to prevent the Soviet Union from developing technologies that would give it an advantage in the developing Cold War. It was crucial that the United States gain superiority in one technology especially: airplanes, which had emerged from the war as the global weapon of choice. Airpower, combined with nuclear weapons, offered the most visible and formidable obstacle to Soviet aggression. In 1947, the United States Air Force was established, and it pioneered a revolutionary new type of aircraft, called the X plane. With the X plane, the last unconquered realm of manned flight was now finally within tantalizing reach: an aircraft that could break the speed of sound. CHASING THE DEMON is New York Times bestselling author Dan Hampton’s gripping narrative history of the race to break the sound barrier. The stakes were tremendous—no less than the potential future of the free world—yet it was unknown whether man and machine could even survive such a journey. As the Air Force began its testing, numerous potential hazards emerged: flight controls broke down, engines flamed out, wings snapped. Planes and pilots disintegrated as they slammed into the desert floor. Aerodynamics, as it was understood, did not apply. The unknown and unexplained forces near the barrier stole the lives of combat heroes, among them legendary World War II ace Major Dick Bong (Bong died the same day Harry Truman dropped the first A-Bomb—and shared above-the-fold headline space with Hiroshima in the LA Times). But more men came to try, confident that they would be the one to change history. And then finally, one did change history, when 24-year-old Captain Chuck Yeager succeeded in breaking the sound barrier on October 14, 1947. The world would never again be the same. In Chasing the Demon, Dan Hampton thrillingly recreates those years of adventure and innovation, when the world watched: America captivated, and her enemies increasingly fearful of the X planes and their remarkable pilots as they chased aviation’s final frontier. DAN HAMPTON is the New York Times bestselling author of VIPER PILOT, LORDS OF THE SKY, THE HUNTER KILLERS, and The Flight, as well as a novel, The Mercenary. During his twenty years (1986-2006) of service in the United States Air Force, Colonel Hampton received four Distinguished Flying Crosses with Valor, a Purple Heart, eight Air Medals with Valor, five Meritorious Service medals, and numerous other citations. He is a graduate of the USAF Fighter Weapons School, USN Top Gun School (TOGS), and USAF Special Operations School.

Through the end of World War I, countries only marched into war to gain or protect resources. After World War I, countries began going to war over ideas. Today, soldiers are more likely to die for an ideology than an economic advantage, and America's "national interest" is anything we want it to be. The more you think about this change, the more amazing it seems. The story of how this shift came to be is no less amazing. Lenin and Wilson. Men from very different backgrounds and experiences, and yet very much alike. Both rose to supreme power, one through presidential election and the other through violent revolution. Both would radically transform their country's approach to foreign policy. Together they unleashed the forces that have dominated our world ever since. In this masterful new book, historian Arthur Herman tells the stories of these two consequential figures, two major world events, and one year that shaped the destiny of the world. 1917 saw the birth of a potent rivalry between two men who rewrote the rules of geopolitics. On its one hundredth anniversary, this book marks the birth of our contemporary world; and the moment world history truly began. ARTHUR HERMAN is the bestselling author of FREEDOM’S FORGE, HOW THE SCOTS INVENTED THE MODERN WORLD, THE IDEA OF DECLINE IN WESTERN HISTORY, TO RULE THE WAVES, and GANDHI & CHURCHILL, which was a 2009 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Dr. Herman taught the Western Heritage Program at the Smithsonian’s Campus on the Mall, and he has been a professor of history at Georgetown University, The Catholic University of America, George Mason University, and The University of the South at Sewanee. 151

The War on Truth How Liberals Weaponized Journalism, Science, and Hollywood

By Derek Hunter Conservative commentator Derek Hunter reveals the tools that Liberals use to reshape reality in order to better match their goals.

It seems more and more that Democrats and Republicans don’t just disagree on solutions, it’s like they’re living in different realities. That means that it’s now more important than ever to understand where your information is coming from, and who is trying to manipulate it. In THE WAR ON TRUTH, Derek Hunter reveals how Liberals affect everything you see, giving them the power to shape your opinions. With research and a biting, sarcastic wit, he explains: The self-congratulatory cycle of media awards and commendations, as they wrap themselves in claims of credibility as “award-winning journalists,” and ignore their biases. The growing role of celebrities in the political world, and movies with a “message” that dominate awards season, but rarely the box office. The unquestioning reporting on “studies” that don’t prove what they say they prove. The hidden bias of “fact-checking,” when the media cherry picks which facts they check. Celebrity scientists like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson blending liberal activism with pretend expertise outside their fields. These are just a handful of the tools that Hunter will reveal. And once you see them, you’ll see them everywhere. DEREK HUNTER is a writer, radio host, columnist, and political consultant. He has previously worked at the Heritage Foundation as a health policy analyst, was federal affairs manager at Americans for Tax Reform focusing on tech, education, and judicial policy, and was a co-founder of the Daily Caller. 152

Barracoon By Zora Neale Hurston Newly discovered manuscript, featuring the last slave ship to arrive in America, from Zora Neale Hurston, critically acclaimed bestselling author of the American classic, THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD.

Barracoon: The Story of the last “Black Cargo” shares some of the most dramatic events of the African slave trade. Of all the millions transported from Africa to the Americas, only one man was alive to tell the story of this integral part of American history, Cudjo Lewis. In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston met him in Planteau, Alabama (a suburb of Mobile) and commenced a series of interviews. Over the course of weeks, Zora and Cudjo talked as they ate peaches and watermelon that grew in Cudjo’s backyard. He told Zora about his early days in his homeland when he was not yet a man and the horrors of entering slavery--before he was kidnapped and held in a Barracoon for selection by American slavers. This emotional story reveals sixtyseven years’ worth of history, including his amazing life in Africa, the atrocities of the Middle Passage, and then what life was like as a Slave in America. In 1927, Zora was sent to interview Cudjo by the famed anthropologist Franz Boas. He wanted her to get a firsthand account of the raid that had brought Cudjo to America in bondage. This interview was published in the Journal of Negro History by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. In 1931, Zora spent 3 months with Cudjo and this book is the result of their time together. In this newly found and engrossing oral history by one of America’s most beloved authors, we see the breadth of tragedy that was American Slavery. ZORA NEALE HURSTON was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist. An author of four novels (Jonah’s Gourd Vine, 1934; Their Eyes Were Watching God, 1937; Moses, Man of the Mountain, 1939; and Seraph on the Suwanee, 1948); two books of folklore (Mules and Men, 1935, and Tell My Horse, 1938); an autobiography (Dust Tracks on a Road, 1942); and over fifty short stories, essays, and plays. She is a graduate of Howard University, Barnard and Columbia University. She was born on January 7, 1891 in Notasula, Alabama and raised in Eatonville, FL. She died in 1960, buried in an unmarked grave until 1973, when Alice Walker pounded a headstone with an epitaph: Zora Neale Hurston: A Genius of the South. 153

Endure Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance By Alex Hutchinson From the National Magazine Award-winning Runner’s World columnist, frequent NewYorker.com contributor, and Cambridge-trained physicist: a fascinating and definitive exploration of the science of endurance and peak performance. With a forward by Malcolm Gladwell.

From the two-hour marathon to the summit of Mount Everest, we're fascinated by the extremes of human endurance. How high or far or fast can humans go? And what about me-what defines my personal limits? According to a century's worth of physiology textbooks, the answers lie in the size of your heart, the capacity of your lungs, and the strength of your muscles. But a wave of dramatic findings over the past decade has completely overturned our understanding of human limits. ENDURE, from Runner's World and NewYorker.com contributor Alex Hutchinson, brings this radical new science of endurance to a general audience for the first time, leading to a surprising conclusion: It's the brain that dictates your limits-and that means they can always be pushed a little farther. Hutchinson traces our attempts over the last hundred years to understand human fatigue, from the crude experiments of the early twentieth century (physiologists cutting the legs of frogs and electrocuting them) to the use of sophisticated brain imaging technology. Hutchinson presents a wholly new understanding of endurance, untethered from the traditional mechanistic view of human limits (like a car with a brick on its gas pedal, we go until the tank runs out of gas). Instead, he persuasively argues, a key element is how the brain responds to distress signals-whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid-and we can train to improve this brain response. Traveling to the forefront of the new sports psychology landscape-from brain electrode jolts to computer-based training to subliminal messaging-Hutchinson makes accessible a host of startling new discoveries. An elite distance runner himself, Hutchinson shows readers how they can use these tactics to bolster their own performance and get the most out of their bodies. ALEX HUTCHINSON is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist specializing in the intersection of science and athletic performance. He writes the popular monthly “Fast Lane” column in Runner’s World, where he also writes the long-running “Sweat Science” blog. Additionally, he is a regular contributor to the New Yorker’s website and pens a biweekly column in Toronto’s Globe and Mail. His work also has appeared frequently in The New York Times. He is the author of Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?: Fitness Myths, Training Truths, and Other Surprising Discoveries from the Science of Exercise.

For Kimothy Joy, activist and artist, the 2016 election results were a pivotal moment. After years of working on campaigns that empowered women and girls, and she was disheartened to find that the political climate—one she had thought ready for its first female president—still had so far to go in preparing for the rise of female leaders. In the days after the election, Joy found herself pouring over the biographies of brave women throughout history—those who persisted, discovered, and inspired in the face of overwhelming circumstances—in an effort to learn from their example. Turning to art for catharsis, she began to paint her feelings—bringing reverent faces of the past to life in bold, colorful watercolors and hand-lettered quotes. By honoring these women and their words through her art, Joy was able to share them widely with her online community—and encourage others to find their own voices in an increasingly challenging world. Now, in That’s What She Said, Joy pairs her stunning illustrations with surprising, illuminating biographies in a beautiful gift book that will empower women of all ages, races, and backgrounds. Through Joy’s engaging work, readers will come to know a powerful and diverse group of over fifty women—from Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem, and Michelle Obama to Sojourner Truth, Yoko Ono, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—and will be inspired by the words and experiences of these remarkable role models. THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID (a title that reclaims an oft offensive phrase from popular culture) will be a gorgeous celebration of women throughout history, and a must-have gift book to empower current and future generations to uplift the world around them. KIMOTHY JOY is a Denver-based artist who creates whimsical watercolor and hand-lettered artwork that uplifts and unites women worldwide. Her recent work has been featured by the Women’s March on Washington, Glamour, Teen Vogue, Oprah Magazine, Refinery29, Huffington Post, and more. Celebrities such as Emma Roberts have been spotted out and about wearing her designed goods, especially her United States of Nasty Women tote bag, and Jessica Alba, Alexa Chung and Uzo Aduba have featured Kimothy’s work on Instagram. In the past, she has served as a communications consultant to national NGOs and social change organizations such as Smart Girl, Soul Day Foundation and Threads Worldwide. Her past community involvement includes founding a TEDx organization in Denver called TEDxRiNo in order to incite change and spread great ideas. 155

Hippie Food How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat By Jonathan Kauffman How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat, a narrative history tracing the colorful origins of once-unconventional foods like sprouts, brown rice, and tofu, and the diverse fringe movements, charismatic gurus, and 1960s counterculture that brought them to the mainstream, creating a distinctly American cuisine.

Imagine that it is 1970 and you are 22 years old...Nixon is now president--not your president...What we have to do is build a new America in the decaying shell of the old...The revolution has to come from within That's when you go over to dinner at a friend's communal household, and they set out bowls of brown rice...and vegetables with something they're calling "tamari"...With the meal comes some rap about how your hosts are effecting real, personal change...through this very dinner plate. That might make sense, you think, and you tentatively take your first bite. So begins food writer Jonathan Kauffman's journey back in time to tell the story of how longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the landers changed the way we eat. Impeccably reported, this is a story told with the fervor only somebody equally committed to food and journalism could muster. From the murderous owner of Hollywood's famous cultish health food restaurant The Source, to the Diggers' brown bread in the Summer of Love, to the rise of the coop and the origins of organic. With a gimlet eye and a healthy dose of wit, Kauffman investigates how foods like yogurt, brown rice and whole wheat bread became a part of our normal diet, and how they emerged in the wake of a generation raised on WonderBread and Jell-o molds. Equal parts Thom Wolfe and Michael Pollan, HIPPIE FOOD will resonate with anyone trying to answer the question of why we eat the way we do. A former cook and dishwasher, JONATHAN KAUFFMAN is a James Beard Award winning journalist and staff writer at the San Francisco Chronicle. He was previously the restaurant critic at the East Bay Express, Seattle Weekly and SF Weekly, as well as the San Francisco editor at Tasting Table. He contributes regularly to San Francisco magazine and Wine & Spirits, and has written for Lucky Peach, Food & Wine.com and Slate.

To the Edges of the Earth 1909, the Race for the Three Poles, and the Climax of the Age of Exploration

By Edward Larson From the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, a unique and unforgettable telling of the climax of the age of exploration: in 1909 three simultaneous expeditions each reached the ends of the earth, setting records for the farthest north, south, and altitude, as American Robert Peary (with Matthew Henson) strived for the North Pole; Douglas Mawson successfully achieved the magnetic South Pole, while his expedition leader Ernest Shackleton nearly claimed the geographic South Pole; and on the slopes of K2 in the Himalayas (the so-called “Third Pole”), Italy’s dashing Duke of Abruzzi set a world altitude record that stood for generations.

The year 1909 in many ways marked the climax of the age of exploration. That year, three daring expeditions pushed to the furthest reaches of the globe, bringing within human reach, for the first time, a complete accounting of all the earth’s surface. In January of 1909, Douglas Mawson, as part of an offshoot of Ernest Shackleton’s Nimrod Expedition to Antarctica, became the first man to reach the South Magnetic Pole. Less than three months later, in April, Robert Peary claimed to be the first to reach the North Pole. And in the Himalayas, a team led by Italian Prince Luigi Amedeo, who himself had made an attempt at the North Pole a few years prior, made the highest climb to date on the legendary mountain K2, surpassing 20,000 feet of altitude. In To the Edge of the Earth, Ed Larson, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of The Return of George Washington, weaves a dazzling narrative history of these three expeditions and the final frontiers of exploration. We follow Mawson, along with fellow Nimrod explorers Edgeworth David and Alistair Mackay, as they scramble to reach the magnetic pole and still get back in time to catch the Nimrod, which they had no way to contact, knowing they would be stranded in Antarctica and surely perish if they missed it. We learn of the indefatigable Peary, who made five journeys to Greenland over the course of more than two decades, before finally, in 1909, establishing Camp Jesup, which he believed to be within five miles of the pole, only to discover on his return that another man claimed to have beaten him. And on K2, Larson recounts the travails of Amedeo, an amateur mountaineer, as he and his team came closer than anyone before to scaling what is perhaps the most dangerous mountain on the planet. EDWARD J. LARSON is University Professor of History and holds the Hugh & Hazel Darling Chair in Law at Pepperdine University. His numerous books include The Return of George Washington, Empire of Ice, and Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate over Science and Religion, for which he received 157 the Pulitzer Prize for History. Larson splits his time between Georgia and California.

The Existentialist's Survival Guide How to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age

By Gordon Marino Sophisticated self-help, THE TRUTH IS A TRAP offers insight and advice about the four prevailing human emotions—anger, despair, grief, and envy—as explained and experienced by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus, and other heavyweights of Existentialism, the most personal school of philosophy.

Imprint: HarperOne Self-Help: Motivational Page Count: 256 Pub Date: April 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Kneerim & Williams Agency (CBR)

Modern thought says sudden psychological changes are chemical in nature, but there once was a time when people still believed that an idea, or a personal interpretation of a personal experience, can affect a positive and permanent psychological transformation. People like Soren Kierkegaard. Together, Kierkegaard and deep-thinking Existentialist brethren, championed the deep art of introspection as an essential practice of self-preservation, an empirical—almost foolproof—method of protecting one’s best self from his or her worst self, particularly during life’s lowest moments. As Kierkegaard and his ilk brought home through their respective works, human beings are moody creatures. Rather than treating these moods as afflictions like a fever, the Existentialists instead viewed them as actions that can be carried out to their completion, with dignity and patience, as we determine, though specific choices, how best to live. It’s one thing to be a kind and attentive friend when all the lights are green, but quite another when you are abuzz with anxiety. How we negotiate our emotional ups-and-downs, then, plays an important hand in the lives we sculpt for ourselves. And yet, with all the talk about mood disorders and mindfulness today, there has been little effort to extract some of the life wisdom from these pre-Freudian depth psychologists. Until now. In The Existentialist's Survival Guide, Gordon Marino, a professor of philosophy and Director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College, recasts the practical take-aways Existentialism offers for the 21st century. He distills and delivers the life-altering and in some cases life-saving insights Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus, and other Existentialists about how to work through—or, as they saw it, carry out—four prevailing human emotions: anger, despair, grief, and envy. At the same time, in a nod to the experiential practices of his intellectual forebears, Gordon shares with the reader examples from his own life, to demonstrate how incorporating existentialist thought into your everyday can lead to truly transformative experiences. GORDON MARINO is a professor of philosophy and Director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College. He is the author of Kierkegaard in the Present Age, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Kierkegaard, and editor of Basic Writings of Existentialism, Ethics: The Essential Writings, and The Quotable Kierkegaard. An active boxing trainer, Gordon covers boxing for The Wall Street Journal. His writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and many other national and international periodicals. 158 Rights Sold: Korean/Gimm Young

Untitled USSR Travel Book By Audrey Murray Once upon a time, a Russia-obsessed American comedian found herself on a one-way flight to Mongolia, never dreaming that her future would contain kidnappers, garbage bags of money, and turrets beyond her wildest dreams.

Imprint: William Morrow Former Soviet Republics Page Count: 336 Pub Date: July 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Sanford J. Greenburger Associates, (JS)

Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Siberia are not the typical tourist destinations of a 20-something, nor the places one usually goes to eat, pray, and/or love. But the mix of imperial Russian opulence and Soviet decay, and the allure of emotionally cold Russian men proved strangely irresistible to comedian Audrey Murray. While her friends were planning their weddings she found herself on a one-way flight to Mongolia, the start of 9 months of solo travel through the former USSR. Structured in three parts with elements of a traditional travel guide sprinkled throughout (such as a star ratings system: black markets in Uzbekistan: 5 stars; getting kidnapped in Turkmenistan: 1 star, etc.), Untitled USSR Travel Book catalogs Audrey’s journey across the former Soviet States in parallel with her emotional journey towards self-sufficiency. As Audrey walks through Tajikistan and Lithuania, we see her come to grips with the societal expectations for a 30-something woman and a woman traveling alone. Sometimes surprising, often disconcerting, and always highly entertaining, Untitled USSR Travel Book is the book that you buy for your friend who’s on the fence about going on an adventure, the book you pluck off the shelves when you need entertainment by the pool, and the book you pack for yourself when you set off toward whatever weird but true passion awaits you. And, if you do so happen to want to visit the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (yes, the one that exploded), then Audrey can assure you that there’s no other guidebook you’ll want to read. AUDREY MURRAY is a redhead from Boston who moved to China and became a standup comedian. The cofounder of the Kung Fu Komedy, Audrey was named the funniest person in Shanghai by City Weekend magazine. Audrey is a staff writer for Reductress.com and a regular contributor at Medium.com; her writing has also appeared in The Gothamist, China Economic Review, Nowness, Architizer, and on the wall of her dad’s office.

Fossil Men The Quest for the Oldest Fossil Skeleton and the Battle to Define Human Origins By Kermit Pattison FOSSIL MEN is the riveting science-adventure story of the men who discovered "Ardi" a human skeleton more than a million years older than Lucy

Imprint: William Morrow Life Sciences Page Count: 352 Pub Date: September 2018 Manuscript Available: January 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Writers House (JS)

In 1994, an excavation group led by fossil-hunting legend Tim White - “the Steve Jobs of paleoanthropology” - discovered a series of bone fragments in Ethiopia’s Afar region that radiometric dating indicated were 4.4 million years old, more than a million years older than “Lucy,” then the oldest known human ancestor. With this discovery (Ardipithecus ramidus), White and his cohorts had found something deeply unsettling, a rebuke to a half-century of paleoanthropological orthodoxy. They were about to shatter many broad assumptions about human evolution: how we developed opposable thumbs, when we started walking, and, most crucially, whether we were truly descended from a common ancestor that resembled today’s chimpanzee. In short, White’s team would reveal that in the decades after Lucy, paleoanthropologists had been wrong about some basic tenets of human evolution. FOSSIL MEN brings together one of the most consequential scientific discoveries of our time, and the personal stories of an unforgettable cast of characters. At the center of it all is Tim White: cantankerous and vindictive, feared by friends and enemies alike, and one of the greatest scientists in the world. Then there’s Gen Suwa, the Japanese savant who reads arcane computer code for fun; Owen Lovejoy, creationist-turned-paleoanthropologist; Gordon Getty, scion of J. Paul and a serious fossil buff who provided the team with financial support; and the Leakeys, for decades the most famous family in fossils, who have waged war with the Ardi team and cast doubt on the discovery. KERMIT PATTISON is a journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, GQ, Fast Company, Runner's World, and Time, among many other publications. He has spent more than five years researching this story, including extensive time in the field with Tim White's team. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. 161

Untitled on Arctic Disaster By Mark Piesing

The roaring 1920s were the peak of zeppelin travel. Airships were basically luxury hotels for travelers, propelled thousands of miles as a rate many times faster than any ocean liner (and with greater range than airplanes of the time.) The German Graf Zeppelin ran passenger service from Rio de Janiero to Berlin; British Imperial Airship connected various points of the Empire; throughout Europe airship companies planned service across the Atlantic. They also offered the opportunity to explore uncharted and previously unreachable territory. In May 1928, Umberto Nobile, commanding the Italia and a crew of sixteen Italians, one Swede and one Czech, set off to find a legendary island supposedly near the North Pole. Near their destination they hit a terrible storm and crashed. Six crew members were killed; the injured (including Nobile) took refuge on ice flows, unprepared for the wretched conditions and with no idea how they could hope to survive Coincidentally, in Oslo a number of famous Arctic explorers had gathered for a celebration of the first successful flight from Alaska to Norway. Hearing of the accident, they organized the largest international polar rescue expedition in history. Searchers from eight countries set off by boat, plane and even dog sled. (Among them was Roald Amundsen, the first man to ever reach the North Pole. While searching, his plane disappeared and he was never seen again.) As the weeks passed, the search became desperate, and the survivors engaged in a last-ditch struggle against weather, polar bears and despair. At long last they were spotted, but when the search plane landed, the pilot announced that there was only room for one passenger… Braiding together the gripping account of the Italia disaster, a glamorous look at the height of the zeppelin age, the fascinating science and technology involved, and European politics (in particular the rise of fascism in Italy), Mark Piesing’s epic saga is narrative nonfiction at its most accessible and exciting. Mark Piesing writes for the Guardian, FT, Economist and Wired, among other publications. He lives in Oxford, England. This is his first book. 162

When Montezuma Met Cortés By Matthew Restall In WHEN MONTEZUMA MET CORTES, Guggenheim and NEH Fellow Matthew Restall dramatically rethinks the encounter between Montezuma and Hernando Cortés, upending everything we thought we knew about the Spanish colonization of the Americas

Imprint: Ecco Expeditions & Discoveries Page Count: 560 Pub Date: January 2018 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Writers House (CBR)

On November 8th, 1519, Hernando Cortés, the Spanish conquistador, first met Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, at the entrance to the imperial capital city of Tenochtitlan. This introduction—the prelude to Cortés’s seizure of Mexico City and the beginning of the Spanish colonization of the Americas—has become known as The Meeting, and it has long been the symbol of Cortés’s bold and brilliant military genius. Montezuma, on the other hand, has gone down in history as a superstitious coward who gave away a vast empire and touched off a wave of colonial interests in the region. But was this really how it happened? The more that scholar Matthew Restall pondered The Meeting, the more convinced he became that it needed to be understood from a completely different angle. What if the events of that day, and those that came before and after it, were spun by Cortés and other Spaniards in ways that created a false representation of the conquistador and emperor? What if we have been looking at the two men in the wrong light for centuries? In a departure from traditional approaches to the subject, WHEN MONTEZUMA MET CORTES, uses November 8, 1519 as an entry point into a dramatic rethinking of both Cortés and Montezuma. With details that bring the past to vivid life, Restall explores Cortés’ and Montezuma’s posthumous reputations, their achievements and failures, and the worlds in which they lived—leading, step by step, to a dramatic inversion of the old story. In the process, Restall calls into question our view of the history of the Americas, and indeed, of history itself. As Restall takes us through this sweeping, revisionist story of the Spanish Conquest, he reveals WHEN MONTEZUMA MET CORTES to be something far more than the clash of famous men: it becomes an encounter that represents the human experience in all its messy and fascinating complexity. MATTHEW RESTALL was born in London, and educated at Oxford and at UCLA. He is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Latin American History and Director of Latin American Studies at the Pennsylvania State University. He has held fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, the John Carter Brown Library, the Library of Congress, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He has written twenty books and sixty articles and essays on the histories of the Mayas, of Africans in Spanish America, and of the Spanish Conquest.

Future Presence How Virtual Reality Is Changing Human Connection, Intimacy, and the Limits of Ordinary Life

By Peter Rubin From Wired senior editor and pop culture writer Peter Rubin, an exciting, candid glimpse into the future “realities” of virtual reality: how we will use it to make friends, go on dates, and explore new frontiers of intimacy—and how it will forever change human connection.

Imprint: HarperOne Social Aspects & Technology Page Count: 304 Pub Date: March 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins (CBR)

Virtual reality—or VR for those already familiar—has been heralded as the most significant technological innovation since the smartphone. But right now, we are at a unique point in its development, the infancy of a technology that is going to change, well, everything. But hasn’t quite yet. To many, VR is an awkward set of goggles that nerds use to play video games. But to those on the inside of this emerging technology in its extraordinary infancy, it is much more than that. It is the future. It is going to change how we work, how we experience entertainment, how we feel pleasure, and how we see the world. But all of this “disruption,” is overlooking the thing that’s the most disruptive of them all: virtual reality is going to disrupt the way we relate to each other in the real world, and we will never be the same because of it. Peter Rubin, senior culture editor for Wired and the industry’s go-to expert on virtual reality, calls it an “intimacy engine.” Whereas before we needed another person to feel the sensations of closeness, trust, vulnerability, confidence, and titillation that comprise our notion of intimacy, for the first time in human history, we’re gaining the ability to induce these sensations without another person. And that, Rubin argues, is going to have a powerful impact on our society, but most importantly on the future of sex and relationships. FUTURE PRESENCE is a journey into this uncertain future and a glimpse at the cultural implications and captivating promises of a new reality. It answers both the immediate questions (Will this make people retreat further into themselves? How will it affect relationships? Is a virtual trip to a strip club cheating?) as well as the more fundamental questions of what makes us human, what connects us, and what is real. Offering sexy conversation starters and voyeuristic glimpses into the mindblowing things happening behind the scenes, Rubin acts as an entertaining tour guide to the weirdest, wildest corners of this fascinating new world. PETER RUBIN oversees Wired's pop culture and entertainment coverage in print and online-assigning, editing, and writing everything from front-of-book and online stories to longform magazine features and cover packages. He covers virtual reality extensively, having written the magazine's June 2014 cover story on Oculus VR; he has broken a number of stories centered on the emergent platform, and continues to make frequent media and panel appearances discussing the technology (as well as general pop culture). Peter's writing has also appeared in the New York Times, GQ, Rolling Stone, Vibe, Glamour, Details, and many other outlets-and he's pretty sure he's the only person to have had a cover story in XXL Magazine and a column in Bride's Monthly appearing on newsstands at the same time. 166

Soon What Science, Philosophy, Religion and History Teach Us about the Surprising Power of Procrastination By Andrew Santella In the vein of QUIET, a thought-provoking exploration of procrastination and its notable successes throughout history

Imprint: Dey Street Books General Psychology Page Count: 256 Pub Date: March 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World English Rights: HarperCollins Translation Rights: Larry Weissman Literary (CB)

In an age where it has never been easier to fritter away time with a steady stream of distractions, we still feel the oppressive tick of the almighty clock. But what if instead of scolding ourselves from indulging in distraction, we rebelled against deadlines and indulged in dawdling in order to achieve greater creative success? In Soon, writer and self-proclaimed procrastinator Andrew Santella explores the universal habit of procrastination and gives it, at last, a vigorous defense. As Santella argues, procrastination is not pure sloth, nor is it even "bad" at its core. It can be, as a matter of fact, pleasurable and enriching. By putting ourselves in charge of our limited time-be it choosing to sweep the stairs before finishing a painting, or reading a novel instead of doing our taxes-we find ourselves unlocking new creative potential and success. Through the lessons of history, philosophy, psychology and science, and the stories of notable procrastinators like Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright and Moses, Santella makes a compelling case for the power of procrastination. ANDREW SANTELLA has written for such publications as GQ, the New York Times Book Review, Slate and the Atlantic.com, usually at the last possible minute. He lives in Brooklyn, New York and carries on a semi-secret second professional life as a high-school baseball coach.

Theftocracy By Greg Sargent The acclaimed and razor-sharp Washington Post writer on the Republican subversion of our democracy, and what must be done to save ourselves before it is too late.

Imprint: Custom House Campaigns & Elections Page Count: 256 Pub Date: September 2018 Manuscript Available: December 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Lynn Johnston Literary (JLS)

Despite the bogus claims of illegal voting by Donald Trump, the terrifying reality is that for decades the Republican Party has been working to stem the tide of demographic change by rigging elections in their favor. Their tactics range from somewhat conventional efforts to game outcomes in their favor within the rules to outrageous, explicit efforts to disenfranchise people who vote Democratic. Now that Republicans control the White House and Congress, they have stepped up their plotting to erode the electoral process at the national level, too. In THEFTOCRACY Greg Sargent digs deep into these GOP efforts to steal elections and corrupt the democratic process. Among the hot button topics he explores are redistricting, antiquated voting technology, false candidate advertising, Russian hacking, the Trump administration’s deceptive tactics, ballot design, and the electoral college. He also points to solutions, beginning with a new Democratic Party approach toward local elections and creative legal interventions. Provocative, timely and urgent, THEFTOCRACY could not be more essential. GREG SARGENT writes the hugely popular “Plum Line” blog at the Washington Post. Prior to joining that paper, he wrote for Talking Points Memo, New York, and the New York Observer. He lives in Maryland with his family.

The Girl From Kathmandu By Cam Simpson The shocking story of the massacre of a group of Nepalese men working as Defense contractors for the United States Government during the Iraq War, and the widow who dedicated her life to finding justice for her husband and the other victims—a riveting tale of courageous heroes, corporate war profiteers, international business, exploitation, trafficking, and human rights in the age of global capitalism that reveals how modern power truly works

Imprint: Harper Social Activism Page Count: 400 Pub Date: March 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Larry Weissman Literary (JLS)

In August of 2004, twelve men left their village in Nepal for jobs at a five-star luxury hotel in Amman, Jordan. They had no idea that they had actually been hired for sub-contract work on an American military base in Iraq. But fate took an even darker turn when the dozen men were kidnapped and murdered by Islamic extremists. Their gruesome deaths were captured in one of the first graphic execution videos disseminated on the web—the largest massacre of contractors during the war. Compounding the tragedy, their deaths received little notice. Why were these men, from a remote country far removed from the war, in Iraq? How had they gotten there? Who were they working for? Consumed by these questions, award-winning investigative journalist Cam Simpson embarked on a journey to find answers, a decade-long odyssey that would uncover a web of evil spanning the globe—and trigger a chain of events involving one brave young widow, three indefatigable human rights lawyers, and a formidable multinational corporation with deep governmental ties. A heart-rending, page-turning narrative that moves from the Himalayas to the Middle East to Houston and culminates in an epic court battle, The Girl from Kathmandu is a story of death and life—of the war in Iraq, the killings of the twelve Nepalese, a journalist determined to uncover the truth, and a trio of human rights lawyers dedicated to finding justice. At its heart is one unforgettable young woman, Kamala Magar, who found the courage to face the influential men who sent her husband to his death—a model of strength hope, bravery, and an unbreakable spirit who reminds us of the power we all have to make a difference. Born in Illinois, CAM SIMPSON is currently the senior international correspondent for Bloomberg Businessweek in London, and Bloomberg News. He has also worked for the Wall Street Journal and the Chicago Tribune. He lives in London. 170

House of Heroin Inside the Secret Billion-Dollar Narco-Terror Empire By Haroon Ullah An astonishing inside look at the organized crime syndicate that controls global opiate production and trafficking, from a veteran U.S. State Department official and former senior adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry

Imprint: William Morrow Criminology Page Count: 320 Pub Date: July 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: J. de S. Associates, Inc. (JLS)

When we think of the Mafia, we tend to think of the Italian Mob: Prohibition; Al Capone; The Godfather. But today, a very different Mafia is alive and well, one that may exert even more power and influence than the fabled Five Families ever did. This “other Mafia” is based primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and is responsible for the majority of the world’s heroin production and distribution, estimated to be worth 30 to 50 billion dollars annually. HOUSE OF HEROIN is a dramatic rendering of the global struggle between Western law enforcement and the ubiquitous Muslim drug cartel. Haroon K. Ullah, a State Department official and former senior adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry, traces the supply chain from poppy cultivation in the Middle East to heroin consumption in the United States, weaving together a compelling narrative that spans from Kabul to London to New York. For years, the global heroin trade has been controlled by four or five longestablished Pakistani and Afghan families. These families partner with a large trafficking and distribution syndicate, along with corrupt government officials, to move vast quantities of poppy seed pods to processing labs in Afghanistan and Pakistan, before the finished product is shipped to Karachi, and then out to the largest markets in Europe and North America. Drawing upon his personal contacts at every stage in the drug trade, and his professional experience going after drug traffickers, Haroon K. Ullah offers a captivating narrative journey through the modern drug trade. HAROON ULLAH is a Senior Member of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's Policy Planning Staff, covering the Middle East, counterterrorism, narcotics, public diplomacy/digital innovation.

The Last Republicans Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush

By Mark Updegrove An historian’s revealing and intimate portrait of George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush that explores their relationship as presidents and as father and son—the first major biographical treatment of these two consequential presidents and figures in American history

Imprint: Harper United States History Page Count: 480 Pub Date: November 2017 Manuscript and Galley Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Hornfischer Literary Management (JLS)

In 2016 the Republican base revolted against the GOP establishment that has become synonymous with the Bush name, choosing instead a political neophyte and anti-establishment outsider as the standard bearer of their party. Donald Trump’s election marked the end not only of a presidential dynasty, but a rejection of the Republican principles and traditions the Bushes have long championed. Despite the Republicans’ surprise victory in 2016, behind closed doors the party remains divided between traditional conservatives, populists, and radical ideologues, and faces an uncertain future. As presidential historian Mark K. Updegrove argues, Bush 41 and 43 are in effect, the “last Republicans.” In this balanced, illuminating book, Updegrove tells the story of the Bushes’ relationship from the birth of George W. through their post-presidential years and Jeb Bush’s failed candidacy. Drawing on exclusive access and interviews with both presidents and the key people in their lives, Updegrove reveals the Bushes’ views on the current state of the nation and the GOP, and how the party they both led and helped build is undergoing a radical transformation. At last, the famously circumspect Bushes offer unvarnished observations and revelations on everything from George W. Bush’s youthful indiscretions to the influence and perspectives they had on each other’s administration to their views on Donald Trump—and how they each voted in the 2016 election. A candid and often surprising portrait of two men, THE LAST REPUBLICANS is also an elegy for the party of Reagan and Bush—and for the many thoughtful and prudent individuals who made up the “establishment,” and are conspicuously lacking in today’s GOP. MARK K. UPDEGROVE is the Director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library and Museum, in Austin, Texas, and the author of INDOMITABLE WILL: LBJ in the Presidency, BAPTISM BY FIRE: Eight Presidents Inaugurated in Times of Crisis and SECOND ACTS: Presidential Lives and Legacies After the White House.

Diamond and Gold By Steve Vogel The story of the ultra-secret “Berlin Tunnel,” dug in the mid-1950s from the American sector in southwest Berlin and running nearly a quarter-mile into the Soviet sector, which allowed the CIA and the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) to tap into critical KGB and Soviet military underground telecommunication lines.

Imprint: Custom House Intelligence & Espionage Page Count: 464 Pub Date: September 2018 Manuscript Available: March 2018 World Rights: HarperCollins US Agent: International Creative Management

George Blake, a trusted officer working in a highly sensitive job with SIS, was privy to every aspect of the plan. Over the course of eleven months, when the Soviets discovered the tunnel, “Operation Gold” provided seemingly invaluable intelligence about Soviet capabilities and intentions. In 1961, a Polish defector shocked the CIA and SIS by revealing that Blake was a double agent who had disclosed plans for the tunnel to the KGB before it was even built. Blake was arrested and sentenced to 42 years in prison. In the years since, the tunnel has been labeled a failure. Not so. In a work of remarkable investigative reporting, Steve Vogel now reveals that the information picked up by the CIA and SIS was more valuable than even they believed. But why would the Soviets, knowing full well that the tunnel was there, have let slip many of their most valuable secrets? Or did they actually know STEVE VOGEL was born in Berlin. As a reporter for the Washington Post for two decades, he wrote frequently about military affairs and the treatment of veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Black Fortunes The Story of the First Six African Americans Who Escaped Slavery and Became Millionaires

By Shomari Wills The astonishing untold history of America’s first black millionaires—former slaves who endured incredible challenges to amass and maintain their wealth for a century, from the Jacksonian period to the Roaring Twenties—self-made entrepreneurs whose unknown success mirrored that of American business heroes such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and Thomas Edison

Imprint: Amistad United States History Page Count: 320 Pub Date: January 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Watkins/Loomis Agency, Inc. (JLS)

While Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Michael Jordan, and Will Smith are among the estimated 35,000 black millionaires in the nation today, these famous celebrities were not the first blacks to reach the storied one percent. Between the years of 1830 and 1927, as the last generation of blacks born into slavery was reaching maturity, a small group of smart, tenacious, and daring men and women broke new ground to attain the highest levels of financial success. BLACK FORTUNES is an intriguing look at these remarkable individuals, including Napoleon Bonaparte Drew—author Shomari Wills’ great-great-great-grandfather—the first black man in Powhatan County (contemporary Richmond) to own property in post-Civil War Virginia. His achievements were matched by five other unknown black entrepreneurs including: Mary Ellen Pleasant, who used her Gold Rush wealth to further the cause of abolitionist John Brown; Robert Reed Church, who became the largest landowner in Tennessee; Hannah Elias, the mistress of a New York City millionaire, who used the land her lover gave her to build an empire in Harlem. A fresh, little-known chapter in the nation’s story—A blend of Hidden Figures, Titan, and The Tycoons—Black Fortunes illuminates the birth of the black business titan and the emergence of the black marketplace in America as never before. A writer and journalist, Shomari Wills has worked for CNN and Good Morning America, and has contributed to the NY Carib News and Columbia Journalism Review. He received a B.A. in English from Morehouse College and an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University, where he was named a Lynton Book Writing Fellow. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. 175

Similar in format and style to A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 100 OBJECTS, A HISTORY OF VIDEOGAMES IN 64 OBJECTS will use the Video Game Hall of Fame’s existing collection of video game artifacts to tell the story of the video game from inception to now: each visual will be accompanied by a short, entertaining essay on what the artifact has contributed to the history of gaming as well as the larger culture of fandom. Furthermore, each chapter will include a reference guide to games, characters, video game studios, etc. that incorporate the artifact. A HISTORY OF VIDEOGAMES IN 64 OBJECTS (64 objects being a convenient nod to Nintendo 64) will mix real-life objects such as the joystick with fictional objects, like Super Mario’s cap or Zelda’s sword, to explain how the video game has evolved over time—from Pong to first-person shooters—and will create a visual panorama of unforgettable anecdotes and factoids.

Autonomy The Race to Build the Driverless Car —And How It Will Reshape Our World By Lawrence D. Burns A veteran insider of the automotive and tech worlds takes a deep dive into the race to develop and perfect the driverless car—an innovation that promises to be the most disruptive change to our way of life since the smartphone

In the past decade, titans of the old automobile industry, like GM, have been partnering with robust tech startups, such as Tesla and Uber, to revolutionize the way we move around the world—and everyone wants a piece of the action. It’s not a question of whether the self-driving car will disrupt the automobile industry; it’s a question of when, how, and who will do it. In AUTONOMY, former GM executive and current advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car project Lawrence Burns offers a sweeping history of the race to make the driverless car a reality. In 2007, the auto industry was about to go belly up. Meanwhile, Google was spearheading its autonomous car project, Travis Kalanick was just getting Uber off the ground, and Elon Musk was preparing to introduce an all-new, electrically-powered Tesla model. Burns takes us through these four major developments, traces how they’ve converged over the past several years, and explains how they’ve set the stage for the mobility revolution. With the first driverless car likely to hit markets in less than ten years, Burns also looks toward the future and explains how this new technology will impact our lives, for better and for worse—from drastically reducing our carbon footprint and eliminating 90 percent of road fatalities, to automating yet another segment of blue collar industries, putting more workers out of a job. We are on the brink of a technological revolution that promises to fundamentally change how we interact with our world. A chronicle of the past, diagnosis of the present, and prediction of the future, AUTONOMY is the ultimate guide to understanding the driverless car and to navigating the revolution it sparks. LAWRENCE D. BURNS was a professor of engineering at the University of Michigan and served as corporate vice president of Research & Development and Strategic Planning at General Motors, where he oversaw GM’s advanced technology, innovation programs, and corporate strategy. He now serves as an advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car and is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He lives in Franklin, Michigan. 178

Borrowed Time Citigroup, Moral Hazard, and the Too-Big-To-Fail Myth

By James Freeman The untold story of Citigroup, from its founding in 1812 to its role in the 2008 financial crisis, and the many disasters in between.

Imprint: HarperBusiness Corporate & Business History Page Count: 352 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: December 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins (CBR)

To the great frustration of the government and the public, Citi needed multiple bailouts to stay afloat in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Citi was presented as the victim of events beyond its control—the larger financial panic, unforeseen economic disruptions overseas, or a perfect storm of credit expansion, private greed and public incompetence. But, as authors James Freeman and Vern McKinely reveal in their study of more than 200 years of the bank’s history, this is not the full story. Citi’s history is replete with financial disasters, instability, and government support—and it’s not a story that either Citi or Washington wants told. At its start, the bank we now call Citi was no obscure garage start-up. Many of the bank’s initial stockholders had owned stock in the Bank of the United States. Citi’s first president, Samuel Osgood, had been a member of the Continental Congress and America’s first Postmaster General. Just as today, Citi at its inception was deeply intertwined with the national government—with benefits for both parties. Early investors sought to profit from their alliance with Washington, while Citi provided critically needed financing for the government to mount a national defense, as well as depository services. This meant the bank was significantly wounded by the founding of the Second Bank of the U.S. just a few years after Citi’s founding. A private investor allowed it to survive into the 1820s, and then a rescue by John Jacob Astor in 1837 helped them through the rest of the 19th century. During the financial panic of 2008 and in the years since, financial reporters, bank executives and politicians liked to discuss the unprecedented nature of that crisis. But as you’ll see in this revealing book, disasters have been relatively frequent during the century of government-protected banking --especially at Citi. JAMES FREEMAN, assistant editor of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, writes financial stories for the Review & Outlook column. He has been the paper’s principal writer of unsigned editorials on Wall Street banking and regulation since the crisis of 2008. Under his own byline, he has published extended interviews with many of the most consequential people in finance, from the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund to the lead software developer of the Bitcoin project. Freeman previously served as investor advocate at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Vern McKinley, a Visiting Scholar at the George Washington University Law School, is a consultant who specializes in diagnosing financial instability in national banking systems. His clients include the U.S. Treasury, International Monetary Fund, and KfW (German Development Bank). He has also advised governments from Afghanistan to China and from Indonesia to Ukraine. 179

Fins By William Knoedelseder The author of the New York Times bestseller BITTER BREW reveals the backstory on another American icon-General Motors in the 1950s, whose rise was due to the stylings of visionary car designer Harley Earl, often considered the Steve Jobs of his era.

Imprint: Harper Business: Automobile Industry Page Count: 356 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Martell Agency (CBR)

In the 1950s, Americans were obsessed with automobiles, intoxicated by the freedom, power and prosperity they represented. The car had come to symbolize the country’s bright and boundless future. And General Motors was king. It was outrunning Ford, Chrysler and American Motors by a mile, turning out 55 percent of all the cars on the road, enough to cause talk inside the Justice Department that the auto giant should be investigated for anti-trust violations, with an eye toward forcing it to sell off one or more of its five divisions. Earl was General Motors ’s vice president of styling, but the title didn’t begin to convey his prominence in the company or the industry at large. For one thing, he invented automobile styling; the profession hadn’t existed before him. As a brash young engineering graduate of Stanford University in 1920s Los Angeles, Earl made a name for himself designing sleek, racy-looking automobile bodies for the fast crowd in the burgeoning Hollywood movie community. WILLIAM KNOEDELSEDER is the New York Times bestselling author of BITTER BREW: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser-Busch and America’s Kings of Beer, as well as the critically acclaimed STIFFED: A True Story of MCA, the Music Business, and the Mafia. He also grew up in the car business, as his father was a sales executive for the Chrysler Corporation from 1954 to 1971. Rights sold for BITTER BREW : Chinese (Complex)/JICC Corporation 180

Presented as a symphony of three movements—past, present, and future—it will offer readers an engaging journey filled with the stories, personal anecdotes, research, and interviews with technologists, entrepreneurs, photographers, artists, sociologists, anthropologists, researchers and futurists to better understand the change that has come with cameras everywhere and what it means to us as human beings in a global, hyper-connected world. The book will explore the emergence of the camera as the proverbial third eye and offer a lens on our common future. THE THIRD EYE ERA will use the iPhone as a narrative framing device to explore the past, present and future of our world, and how it is changing because of the constant presence of this third eye. The book will delve into the impact of the iPhone (and its camera) and the network on various aspects of society.

You Need a Budget The Proven System for Breaking the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle, Getting Out of Debt, and Living the Life You Want By Jesse Mecham The first book detailing the tenets of the award-winning budgeting platform.

Imprint: HarperBusiness Personal Finance & Budgeting Page Count: 224 Pub Date: December 2017 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Writers House (CBR)

For most people, budgeting conjures up the same feelings as, say, prison and dieting. But your initial instinct couldn’t be further from the truth. You just haven’t budgeted the right way. You Need A Budget will teach you four simple rules to completely revolutionize the way you think about managing your money. With a budget, you’ll break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, get out of debt, and save more money. A liberating, enabling, empowering budget will actually make you feel more free, not more restricted. The YNAB philosophy is centered around these four rules: 1. Give every dollar a job. Take your cash, checking, and saving accounts and assign jobs to that money. Begin now with what you have on hand. Then follow your plan. Pick your priorities, and make sure your dollars are helping you move closer to the things you care about most. 2. Embrace your true expenses. Look ahead and identify the larger, less frequent expenses that tend to sneak up on you. Break those expenses into manageable monthly amounts. Consider insurance premiums, birthdays, holidays, charitable giving, car repairs, etc. This practice evens out your cash outflows, decreases your stress, and helps you make better decisions. 3. Roll with the punches. Accept the fact that life always changes and you’ll likely always go over budget somewhere. If an unexpected expense comes up and you need to change your budget, just change it. The YNAB philosophy not only tolerates changing your budget, but rather encourages it. 4. Age your money. The goal of this rule is to increase the time between the moment you earn money, and the moment you spend that money. In other words, if you’re going to break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, you need to learn to live on money you earned a month or two months or even three months ago. YNAB’s four rules are the pillars of a triedand-true system that gets you to engage with your money every day. It helps you change your behavior so that you’re proactive and in control of your finances. It’s not about stressing over last month’s statement; instead, you’re looking ahead and actively deciding how you want-and need to build a life of meaning not stress. JESSE MECHAM founded YNAB in 2004 because he and his new wife Julie were broke. They were students with big dreams and very few dollars between them, so they knew they needed to watch their money. Jesse was studying for his Masters of Accountancy at Brigham Young University at the time, so he put his numbers wizardry to work to develop this system to track their expenses. 182

The Courage to Rise Using Movement, Mindfulness, and Healing Foods to Triumph Over Trauma

By Liz Arch A prescriptive and transformative plan to use yoga to heal pain, anxiety, depression, and other manifestations of unresolved trauma, by an internationally acclaimed yoga teacher

Imprint: William Morrow Paperbacks Health & Fitness Page Count: 272 Pub Date: August 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Allen O'Shea Literary Agency (CB)

No one is spared from trauma--whether or not we're consciously aware of it. Damage from trauma can come from everything from severe emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, war, neglect, betrayal, or abandonment during childhood, and so on to minor automobile accidents, invasive medical and dental procedures, and natural disasters such as earthquakes or fires. Whatever its source, renowned yoga instructor Liz Arch is willing to bet that trauma has touched you or someone you love. Following her own traumatic experience with domestic abuse, Liz became a highly visible spokesperson for the capacity of yoga to heal those who have suffered from various types of trauma. In Rise, Liz shows that without productive ways to expunge trauma from our system, it can stay in us on a cellular level, coloring our daily lives and even causing us to subconsciously retraumatize ourselves. When we arm ourselves with the tools of movement, mindfulness, and good nutrition, we can become more grounded and more aware of those things that are happening within us, and where they stem from. We can then deal with them in productive ways and dig down into the root cause, rather than getting caught up in a vicious cycle of continued trauma and destruction. Rise offers invaluable insight into understanding the nature of trauma and shares practical and effective tools readers can immediately implement to begin releasing trauma, strengthening their emotional resiliency, and transforming pain into their greatest power. LIZ ARCH is an internationally acclaimed yoga teacher, martial artist, certified life coach, Under Armour athlete. She is trained in plant-based nutrition from Cornell’s T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and in BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Released System and is the creator of Primal Yoga, a dynamic yoga/martial arts fusion class. As the West Coast director of the Purple Dot Yoga Project—a non-profit that serves survivors of domestic abuse—Liz regularly leads trauma-informed yoga classes and teacher trainings. Liz also teaches yoga to a worldwide audience through oneOeight TV, a global platform with the mission of building a community rooted in health and healing. Liz also hosts global mission yoga retreats worldwide with its sister organization, 109 World. She lives in Los Angeles, CA.

The Candida Cure The 90-Day Program to Balance Your Gut, Beat Candida, and Restore Vibrant Health By Ann Boroch Foreword by David Pearlmutter, MD, author of GRAIN BRAIN WELLNESS authority Ann Boroch’s cult-classic health book, now revised and updated with a quick start cleanse, easy recipes, and more

Millions of people suffer from digestive problems like acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gastro esophageal reflex disorder (GERD). Another forty million have been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression and millions more live with an autoimmune disease. All of these conditions share a common thread you’ve probably never heard of: candida. “Candida” is the term for a group of yeast organisms that have lived in our digestive tract for millennia, in harmony with the other thousands of bacteria, viruses, and archaea that make up our microbiome. But due to poor diets, processed foods, overuse of antibiotics, environmental toxins, and increased stress, our microbiome has been under steady and constant attack for decades. Yeast are of a heartier stock than bacterial microbes, and as bacteria die off, yeast begins to overgrow in the digestive tract, a condition known as candidiasis. Mild and moderate cases of candidiasis present with fatigue, IBS, eczema, depression, brain fog, migraines, and weight gain. Severe cases allow the afflicted to develop autoimmune disease (such as Multiple Sclerosis), cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Ann Boroch’s self-published book, THE CANDIDA CURE, has been the #1 resource in candida treatment since 2008. Her program—which she used to heal herself from a life-threatening autoimmune disorder—has stood the test of time, and has become a life-changing resource for more than 65,000 people. Now, in this revised edition, Ann offers her readers even more tools, with updated information and case histories, a quick start cleanse, and all-new recipes and eating plans. ANN BOROCH was a certified nutritional consultant and naturopath as well as an educator and speaker on the topics of nutrition, naturopathy, allergies, autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal health, and candida. Ann authored two books, Healing Multiple Sclerosis and The Candida Cure, and maintained a practice in Los Angeles for more than twenty years where she treated thousands of patients back to optimum health. Ann passed away in 2017, shortly after finishing her work on the revised edition of The Candida Cure.

Reading for Life A Crash Course in Figuring Out Your Passion and Purpose Through the World’s Greatest Works

By Blair Hoxby Based on Stanford University’s popular Education as Self-Fashioning Program, READING FOR LIFE is an entertaining and edifying manual on how to cultivate a satisfying conception of life based on the work of history’s greatest thinkers, leaders, and innovators—from Socrates and Plutarch to Thomas Jefferson and Barack Obama.

Imprint: HarperOne Philosophy, Theory & Social Aspects Page Count: 256 Pub Date: September 2018 Manuscript Available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins (CBR)

The great equalizer, education has for millennia helped men and women around the world develop a satisfying conception of life. By following the examples set forth in the great works of civilization, the curious and adventurous, the intrepid and determined alike, have all figured out how to cultivate and enjoy gratifying lives of curiosity, passion, purpose, and endless opportunity. Today, however, when a liberal arts education is being called into question, such an examination of timeless and tested conceptions is more likely to be considered a roadblock for students en route to the corner office or the next start-up venture than an invaluable key to future success and a model for a life well-lived. But in READING FOR LIFE , Stanford University Professor Blair Hoxby shows how—and why—these lessons in the art of living not only still apply, but are arguably more important than ever. Building on his interdisciplinary Education as Self-Fashioning Program at Stanford, which invites undergraduate students to wrestle with the world’s greatest thinkers as they embark on their own specialized fields of study, Hoxby takes readers on a guided tour through the world’s greatest minds in literature, mathematics, philosophy, economics, and political science to offer insights and practical takeaways on how to develop a satisfying and sustainable conception of life. At the same time, he shares anecdotes from his personal and professional life, as well as contemporary stories from politics, pop culture, and social movements to illustrate how timeless conceptions of life continue to be put into practice today. Practical, informative, and inspiring, READING FOR LIFE calls on readers to design their own self-defined principles for living a fulfilling life and offers a blueprint for pursuing and perfecting that life in rewarding ways, at any age or any stage . BLAIR HOXBY is a professor at Stanford University, where he runs the school’s popular Education as Self-Fashioning Program for undergraduates. He is the author of What Was Tragedy? Theory and the Early Modern Canon (Oxford University Press, 2015) and Mammon’s Music: Literature and Economics in the Age of Milton (Yale University Press, 2002). He is the editor of Milton in the Long Restoration (Oxford University Press, May 2016), a collection of twenty-nine original essays that analyze the way authors writing from 1650 to 1750 interpreted, imitated, and parodied Milton. A graduate of Harvard University, he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where he earned his master's degree in English, before earning his doctoral degree in English and American literature at Yale University. 190

Change Your Schedule, Change Your Life How to Harness the Power of Clock Genes to Lose Weight, Optimize Your Workout, and Finally Get a Good Night's Sleep By Suhas G. Kshirsagar From leading Ayurvedic physician and author of THE HOT BELLY DIET, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar: RADIANT HEALTH, which blends modern medical science on ‘clock genes’ with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to help readers harness the power of chronobiology to lose weight, reduce stress, sleep better, and achieve mindfulness at the cellular level

“Tell me your daily routine, and I’ll tell you how healthy you feel.” Does it sound like magic? It’s not. We’ve all heard of circadian rhythms, but few know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect overall wellbeing. Bad habits like skipping meals to cut calories, squeezing in workouts when it’s convenient, working late into the night to maximize productivity and then trying to ‘catch up’ on sleep during the weekend disrupt our genetic predispositions to profoundly detrimental effect. A growing body of scientific research reveals just how sensitive our bodies are to these rhythms, even down to a genetic level. Our “clock genes” control more than we realize, and small changes can make the difference between battling your body, and effortlessly managing weight, sleep, stress, and more. In other words, it’s not you, it’s your schedule. Leading Ayurvedic physician Dr. Suhas helps readers understand the powerful connection between the body’s schedule and personal health, and teaches them to harness the power of chronobiology to lose weight, sleep better, reduce inflammation and toxins, and alleviate pain. Marrying ancient wisdom with cutting edge research on chronobiology, Dr. Suhas’s holistic step-by-step 30-day approach gives readers accessible, actionable goals—and the right schedule—to change their lives for good. Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar (B.A.M.S., M.D.) is one of the most prominent and academically accomplished Ayurvedic physicians in the United States.

After his mother was diagnosed with both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, Max Lugavere pressed pause on a successful life and media career to focus on learning everything he can about the brain. Determined to understand his mom’s diagnoses, how to protect others from the same fate, and how to optimize brain health, Max spends the next half-decade conducting research, interviewing dozens of scientists and clinicians around the world, and visiting the very best neurology departments the country has to offer. What he uncovers is the stunning link between our dietary and lifestyle choices, our brain health, and our cognitive prowess. And in GENIUS FOODS, Max shows how the foods you eat directly affect your ability to focus, learn, remember, create, forge and manipulate new ideas, and maintain a healthy mood—and then presents a comprehensive roadmap to achieving optimal brain health and performance through nutrition. In the vein of David Perlmutter’s topselling GRAIN BRAIN and BRAIN MAKER, Tim Ferriss’ FOUR HOUR BODY, and Dave Asprey’s BULLETPROOF DIET, GENIUS FOODS will change the way we think about the aging brain, and it will put forth an actionable guide to optimal brain health and function. MAX LUGAVERE is a filmmaker, media personality, and leading voice in health. He is the writer, director, and producer of an upcoming documentary titled Bread Head, the first millennial focused film exploring the impact of diet and lifestyle on brain health. His Kickstarter for the film was a viral sensation, and was featured by Upworthy, Huffington Post, Fast Company, WELL+GOOD, Yahoo! Health, and more, and shared by Sir Ken Robinson, Jared Leto, Maria Shriver, and countless others. Prior he was a prominent producer and host of Al Gore’s Emmy nominated Current TV from 2005-2011, and in late 2013, he created and hosted Acting Disruptive, a web series viewed by millions online, which featured the entrepreneurial passion projects of Jessica Alba, Adrian Grenier, Jared Leto and more. 193

Dirty Genes The 7 Genes That Are Making You Sick and How You Can Clean Them Up

By Ben Lynch You’ve probably heard that your genes affect your health. Almost certainly, your doctor has told you that you may be vulnerable to heart disease, diabetes, depression, anxiety, and other disorders based on the conditions that run in your family. Perhaps, like most people, you’ve been told that you inherited a master plan—characteristics that are written in stone from the moment of your conception until the day you die. In this view, your genes are a stern committee of judges handing down a life sentence. Far from being written in stone, your genetic destiny is more like a document written in the Cloud—you get to edit and revise it, every moment of your life. Your genes don’t lay down the law—they negotiate with you. They don’t even speak with a single voice. They’re a committee, and sometimes they disagree with each other.

But—and here’s how this book is going to change your life—if you do know how to work with your “gene committee,” you can produce a much better outcome. You can get those loud negative voices to tone it down or even shut them up completely. At the same time, you can turn up the volume on the voices that are saying “Balanced mood!” “Healthy heart!” and “Selfconfidence.” So get ready to clean your dirty genes, folks, because that’s exactly what you’re going to do. In this book, you’ll find out how to make the most out of your genetic inheritance, now and for the rest of your life.

Own the Day, Own Your Life Master 24 Hours, Master Your Life By Aubrey Marcus How can humans get the most out of our bodies, minds, and systems as a whole on a daily basis? “Aubrey Marcus is a true warrior poet. He is one of the rare humans I've seen blend the physical, mental, and emotional into a successful career and unusual life that fit him like a glove. He marches to his own drummer, and he can help us to find our own.” — Tim Ferriss, Investor and author of The 4-Hour Workweek

How can humans get the most out of our bodies, minds, and systems as a whole? One day at a time. Despite the extraordinary biological and cognitive potential in the human body, most people on most days access only a fraction of what they are truly capable of-not because they have chosen sloth, but because they haven't chosen at all. They let life happen to them, persisting through a day-to-day existence of trying to be less of something bad rather than more of something good. It is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with traditional conceptions of health: a focus on absence rather than presence. OWN THE DAY presents a path to change. It guides readers through a single 24-hour day of positive choices and optimal living that will form the groundwork for all their days to come. From foundational elements like workouts, diet, and mindfulness, to more routine opportunities to optimize your choices, such as shower temperature and inbox triage, readers will learn to make the most of every moment. Ultimately, Marcus creates a choose-your-own-adventure guide to living that brings the reader's mind, body, and spirit to life. It is a promise delivered on the back of real, concrete strategies for better living. And the all-encompassing results are what make this book's simplistic approach so successful. By focusing on optimal decision making for just one day—by making several small, key changes in your daily approach—you end up addressing your health at every level. And owning your day. Aubrey Marcus is an experimentalist, unconventional fitness junkie, and human optimizer. He is the CEO of Onnit, an optimal human performance company that he has built into one of the fastest growing companies in America. Aubrey’s personal and professional mission rests on a single question: How can humans get the most out of our bodies, minds, and systems as a whole on a daily basis? His ability to answer that question has drawn dozens of elite performers, hundreds of thousands of customers, and millions of fans to Onnit. Aubrey lives in Austin, Texas. 195 Rights sold: Japanese/Toyokan Publishing

PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women, affecting between 5 and ten percent of women of childbearing age in the U.S., or roughly 5 million. It is the most common cause of female infertility and symptoms such as weight loss resistance, acne, mood swings, abnormal hair loss or growth, irregular menstrual cycles, and more. Women are often misdiagnosed and treated with “Band-Aid” pharmaceuticals that mask the root causes and introduce a slew of side effects. There is no magic pill or a onetime fix-all solution, but Discover Your PCOS Diva shows women how to control their symptoms naturally with an anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing diet, daily movement, and stress-reducing self-care. Grounded in the latest medical research and everything Amy has learned through her own journey with PCOS—and everything her fans love about her programs—Discover Your PCOS Diva offers women small, manageable steps that help reduce their symptoms and tame the three underlying factors of PCOS: inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and insulin resistance.

Bad Advice Get Past the "Inspirational" Wisdom that Holds You Back and Unlock Your Inner Awesome

By Venus Nicolino YOU ARE A BADASS meets F*CK FEELINGS, #BADADVICE is a fiercely smart wake-up call that dismantles the damaging neo-folk wisdom of pop psychology and offers empowering strategies for moving forward transformed, from larger-than-life Bravo personality and psychologist Dr. V.

Imprint: HarperElixir Motivational & Inspirational Page Count: 256 Pub Date: May 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: DeFiore and Company Literary (CBR)

Psychologist Dr. Venus Nicolino has the looks of a “Real Housewife,” the brains of a Ph.D., and the soul of a take-no-prisoners Italian Matriarch. Bubbling with charm, vivacity, and always at the ready with an honest-but-kind dose of straight-talk, Dr. V is known for taking a match to what she calls the useless “neo-folk wisdom of pop psychology,” which she believes is deeply damaging, even as it pretends to lend insight into the human condition. We live in a world of Instagram “Inspira-porn”-ubiquitous inspirational quotes and truisms we eat up, readily accepting them as useful guidelines to living a fulfilling life. But from “Follow Your Bliss” to “Just Be Yourself”, Dr. V contends that these nuggets of received wisdom aren’t just empty or trite--they’re actually deeply pernicious. Delightfully counterintuitive and biting, BAD ADVICE unmasks how these “folkisms” actually play an insidious role in holding us back from living fulfilling lives. Sassy, salty, but always on the reader’s side, Dr. V exposes and dismantles the seductive mechanics of each hackneyed mantra; digs deep to illuminate their origins; and replaces with them mindful and authentic advice, laying out startlingly empowering and actually inspiring counter-strategies for moving forward transformed. A tough-love approach with incredible heart, BAD ADVICE is a warm and hilarious wake-up call to battle against the harmful ideas that have a vice grip on our psyches, and to help us move ahead--with courage--toward the lives we deserve. DR. VENUS NICOLINO has appeared on LA Shrinks, Dr. Oz, The Real Housewives, Watch What Happens Live, Millionaire Matchmaker, and Rachel Ray. Her YouTube channel, "Your Daily Dose of Dr. V", debunks the neo-folk wisdom of pop psychology. 199

The State of Affairs Rethinking Infidelity By Esther Perel In her first book since the publication a decade ago of the international bestseller MATING IN CAPTIVITY, translated into more than 20 languages and widely recognized as one of this century’s most influential books about sex, Esther Perel delves into the complexities of infidelity and how some couples transcend the hurt of an affair and go on to greater intimacy, maturity, and sexuality.

Imprint: Harper Human Sexuality Page Count: 336 Pub Date: October 2017 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Tracy Brown Literary Agency (CBR)

“Infidelity has a tenacity that marriage can only envy” Esther Perel observes in the opening pages of her provocative exploration of one of the most universal and contentious of human predicaments. With candor and compassion, Perel argues that it is time we had a new and more nuanced conversation about adultery. She inspires us to talk openly about such tough subjects as: Is a committed relationship synonymous with sexual exclusivity? Why does sexual betrayal hurt so much? Is unfaithfulness always a sign of weakness and selfishness or can it be an expression of boldness and courage? Should an affair always be revealed? Perel challenges the traditional notions about infidelity: that it is a symptom of a troubled relationship, that affairs can never help a marriage or be accommodated. Called “the global sexologist” by Le Monde, Esther Perel once again has written a life-changing book that will be among the most talked about of the year. ESTHER PEREL is recognized as one of the most provocative and influential voices on personal and professional relationships and the complex science behind human interaction.

Waking Up in Winter In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife By Cheryl Richardson Multiple New York Times bestselling author and beloved spiritual teacher, Cheryl Richardson delivers her most intimate and profound work to date on the obstacles and opportunities of reaching mid-life. After publishing five bestselling books on self-care and living your best life, Cheryl struggled for the better part of three years starting and stopping on the next one. What used to come so easy, now wouldn’t come at all. Writing started to feel more like homework than creative expression and she knew she owed her readers and herself a radically new approach taking care of the mind and body as we age. This new book is the result of her patience and her groundbreaking discovery. Reviewing what she’d written in the past helped her to understand the ambivalence about starting a new book. “Truth be told, I felt I’d said all I needed to say about how to create a meaningful, fulfilling life. I was an established author with a loyal following and a popular blog, who had nothing more to say in a book. Or so it seemed.” Cheryl soon realized that what she was looking for was there all along. A lifelong journal writer, Cheryl had been for years documenting her inner most thoughts, desires, and hopes. She recognized that these passages and reflections were exactly what her readers need from her. Teaching in action. Life being lived. WAKING UP IN WINTER captures the most impactful year of Cheryl’s life. Beautifully written, raw and heartfelt, the book is both intimate and practical.

The Three Questions How to Discover and Master the Power Within You

By Don Miguel Ruiz The beloved teacher of spiritual wisdom and author of the phenomenal New York Times and international bestseller THE FOUR AGREEMENTS provides a profound new book on finding and using the hidden power within all of us.

Imprint: HarperElixir Spiritual Self Help Page Count: 224 Pub Date: June 2018 Manuscript Available: December 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins (CBR)

International and New York Times bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz (THE FOUR AGREEMENTS, THE TOLTEC ART OF LIFE AND DEATH) returns to the core topic that his fans come to him for: Toltec wisdom on living our fullest lives. In this new book, Ruiz dives deep into the three essential questions that drive our lives and govern the power we all have at our disposal. But to find that power and use it well, we need to constantly ask ourselves three questions: 1. Who am I? 2. What is real? 3. How do I express love? If we don't ask these questions or if we fail to pay attention to their answers, we either never act on our power or use it destructively. Only when power is anchored in our identity and in reality will it be able to be in synch with the universe and be of true benefit to ourselves and to others. Ruiz anchors his lessons in a parable to illustrate his teachings. The three questions provide a practical framework from which readers can engage with Ruiz's transformative message and act as a vehicle for seeking their own existential and spiritual answers. DON MIGUEL RUIZ is the international bestselling author of THE FOUR AGREEMENTS (over 7 years on The New York Times bestseller list), THE MASTERY OF LOVE, THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE, THE FIFTH AGREEMENT, and THE TOLTEC ART OF LIFE AND DEATH. He has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec through his books, lectures, and journeys to sacred sites around the world. BARBARA EMRYS is a spiritual teacher and the author of The Red Clay of Burundi: Finding God, the Music, and Me.

Coconuts and Kettlebells: A Nourishing, Satisfying Food & Fitness Plan for Real Women

By Stefani Ruper and Noelle Tarr

Imprint: William Morrow History/General Pub Date: August 2018 Manuscript available: November 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Sterling Lord Literistic (JLS)

Whether with a Paleo diet or any other diet, we find women are most frustrated with the idea that they must eat in terms of limits, targets, restrictions. Only eat so much fat every day. You can have carbs, but only after your workout. You can have dessert, but only if you skip breakfast. Remember: No snacking! It’s exhausting, demoralizing, and most importantly blatantly ineffective. So how can we make a valuable change to our health, while not feeling like life has become a series of restrictions? The answer is macronutrient minimums. Macronutrients are those components of our diet that give us calories—namely carbs, fat, and protein. Normally, diet books set maximums on what you can eat. Our approach is unique—and much more effective— because we instead provide minimums: for fat, eat at least 40 grams daily. For protein, 50 grams. For carbohydrates, 100 grams. After meeting these minimums, eat bountifully and in a way that best serves your body’s needs. Eat as many carbs, fat, and calories as you need! Eat at whatever time of day you want, in however many meals! You need food in order to provide the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. You need food into order to feel happy, to be energized, to go on adventures, and to live your life. The idea of achieving goal minimums, rather than setting limiting maximums, is the key tenet of our approach with everything: food, exercise, mindset, and the rest of the ways you can be healthy. COCONUTS AND KETTLEBELLS provides the knowledge and tools readers need to heal in a way that is effortless, rewarding, confidence-boosting, and everlasting. STEFANI RUPER is the founder of the website paleoforwomen.com and is regarded as the leading authority on the paleo diet for women, in both body and mind. In addition to her book Sexy by Nature, Stefani has authored several acclaimed guides to women’s health issues, including PCOS Unlocked: The Manual and Weight Loss Unlocked: the Paleo Woman’s Solution. A book on body image and how to be self-loving, Love is the New Skinny, will be released at the end of 2016. Stefani holds a bachelor’s degree in biogeochemistry from Dartmouth College, a master’s degree in philosophy from Boston University, and is currently working towards a PhD in philosophy at Oxford University in England. NOELLE TARR is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. In addition to managing coconutsandkettlebells.com, a thriving health and fitness blog, she also owns an online wellness practice that focuses on helping clients ditch diet dogma, and pursue health and fitness using an individualized approach. This year, Noelle published her first eBook, The Coconuts & Kettlebells Home Workout Guide. 204

Carrie Underwood believes that fitness is a lifelong journey. She wasn’t born with the toned arms, chiseled legs, and washboard abs that fans know her for. She has to work hard every day to look the way that she does! Building on her popular lifestyle and fitness brand, CALIA by Carrie Underwood, and the support of devoted fans who not only love her music, but who also look to her for workout inspiration and healthy recipes, her book will show readers how to be the strongest version of themselves in every aspect of their lives, with the ultimate goal of looking as beautiful as they feel. Carrie’s book will share secrets for fitting diet and exercise into a packed routine—she’s not only a multiPlatinum singer, she’s a busy mom with a young child. Based on her own active lifestyle, diet, and workouts, the book will be packed with meal plans, recipes, weekly workout programs, and guidelines for keeping a weekly food and workout journal. Throughout the book, Carrie will also share her personal journey towards optimal health, from her passion for sports as a kid, to the pressure to look perfect and fit the mold as she launched her career after American Idol, to eventually discovering the importance of balance and the meaning of true health. For Carrie, being fit and looking great is not about crash dieting or quick weight loss. It’s about sustainable, healthy choices, and simple meals that you can put together from the ingredients in your local grocery store, and making the time, every day, to get a little bit better. As she tells her fans, “You don’t know yourself until you push yourself.” CARRIE UNDERWOOD is a multi-Platinum award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress. Since rising to fame as winner of the fourth season of American Idol, Underwood has become one of the most successful artists in any musical genre. Winner of seven Grammys, 17 Billboard Music Awards, 12 Academy of Country Music Awards, 5 Teen Choice Awards, and 9 American Music Awards, she’s been recognized by Rolling Stone magazine as “the female vocalist of her generation in any genre,” by Time magazine as one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People, and by Billboard as Country Music’s Reigning Queen. She is the founder of the popular lifestyle and fitness brand, CALIA by Carrie Underwood. Originally from Muskogee, Oklahoma, she lives in Nashville with her husband and son. 205

Why We Work How to Find Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, and Remember Why You're Doing It

By Leah Weiss Based on Dr. Leah Weiss’ perennially waitlisted class at the Stanford School of Business, a practical guide to bringing our whole selves our professional work

Imprint: Harper Wave Health & Fitness Page Count: 272 Pub Date: March 2018 Manuscript Available: October 2017 World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Stephanie Tade Agency, LLC (CBR)

In today’s workplace, the traditional boundaries between “work” and “personal” are neither realistic nor relevant. From millennials seeking employment in the sharing economy to Gen Xers telecommuting to Baby Boomers creating a meaningful second act, the line between what qualifies as work what and falls squarely into the domain of “home” is blurrier than ever. The truth is, we don’t show up for our jobs as a portion of ourselves—by necessity, we bring both our hearts and our minds to everything we do. In WHY WE WORK, mindfulness expert and creator of the popular Stanford Business School course “Leading with Mindfulness and Compassion” Dr. Leah Weiss explains why this false dichotomy can be destructive to both our mental health and our professional success. The bad news, says Weiss, is that nothing provides more opportunities for negative emotions—anxiety, anger, envy, fear, and paranoia, to name a few—than the dynamic of the workplace. But the good news is that these feelings matter. How we feel at and about work matters—to ourselves, to the quality of our work, and ultimately to the success of the organizations for which we work. The path to happiness and success, says Weiss, is not to change jobs, to hide our emotions, or to create a false “professional” identity—but rather to apply the heart we have to the job we do.

Randi Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, Marketing leader at Facebook, and New York Times bestselling author of DOT COMPLICATED: Untangling Our Wired Lives, answers her most frequently asked question, “How do you balance it all?” The answer? Randi doesn’t balance it all. She pursues a lopsided approach. Instead of striving for society’s unattainable goal of finding the perfect work/life balance, she encourages modern professionals to approach each day asking, “What do I want to be well-lopsided in today?” in order to achieve maximum professional success, drive towards personal goals, and reach a deeper sense of fulfillment and happiness. This is the guide of a highly successful entrepreneur, teaching how to be “well-lopsided” instead of “well-balanced,” by choosing to pursue and prioritize three of five options (work, sleep, fitness, family, and friends) on any given day. In PICK THREE, Randi Zuckerberg takes an in-depth look at the myth of “having it all.” She shows us where to find the happiest people, how social media hurts, and what we can do about it. RANDI ZUCKERBERG is the CEO and founder of Zuckerberg Media, a tech-savvy production company. Previously, she served as the Marketing Director of Facebook for six years, where she pioneered live streaming initiatives and struck groundbreaking deals with ABC (the first online-offline presidential debates) and CNN (to cover Barack Obama’s inauguration). Randi was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2011 and was also ranked among the “50 Digital Power Players” by the Hollywood Reporter and as one of the “New Leaders” by Variety. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling DOT COMPLICATED and DOT.

Holy Envy By Barbara Brown Taylor New York Times bestselling author of AN ALTAR IN THE WORLD and renowned and beloved Christian preacher, Barbara Brown Taylor recounts her moving discoveries of finding God in unexpected places as she taught a college course on the world’s religions. In the spirit of AN ALTAR IN THE WORLD, New York Times bestselling author Barbara Brown Taylor once again explores new ways of encountering God beyond the walls of the church, this time in teaching a course on the world’s religions. Taylor invites readers to explore new depths in their spiritual lives in the context of our ever-evolving world. In HOLY ENVY, Taylor recounts her class’s field trips to a variety of venues of worship of other faith traditions. Both professor and students reflect on and wrestle with how these encounters raise questions for how to relate to their own faith, causing Taylor to turn to the Bible to see what secrets lay buried there. Weaving together stories from her role as a teacher in an interfaith course to reflections on how her own spiritual journey was challenged and renewed by not only meeting people of other traditions but also by meeting God there as well. In the end she believes God is the one pushing her beyond her comfortable boundaries and that she is being called to “disown” her version of God in order to deepen her relationship with the God who has always been with her.

Unafraid Moving Beyond Fear-Based Faith By Benjamin L. Corey Ben Corey, the creator of the wildly popular Formerly Fundie blog on Patheos and a prominent figure within the Emerging Church Movement and Progressive Christianity, explains how he discovered that the "American Christianity" he was taught was actually a distortion of biblical faith and how he changed course.

Imprint: HarperOne Spiritual Growth Page Count: 240 Pub Date: November 2017 Manuscript Available World Rights: HarperCollins Agent: Daniel Literary Group (CBR)

When Ben Corey, the trusted voice behind Formerly Fundie that provides valued insights for 400,000 monthly readers, fell into a crisis of faith, he discovered that he had not actually lost his Christian faith but that he had to admit that the American version he had been taught was neither workable or believable. This led to an examination of the Bible and his life to see what the Christian faith was really all about. To begin with, Corey realized that the constant fear of hell and judgment he experienced was out of sync with the idea that God acts out of love. In fact, the idea of God burning someone alive for eternity would make God worse than an ISIS terrorist. As this piece fell into place, others followed--how to read the Bible, how to understand how to think about America, and the church’s role in the wider world. Again and again, Corey discovered that what he had been taught was not really authentic Christianity and that this distorted version was not only untrue but caused real spiritual harm. Corey also discovered that he wasn’t alone: Christians are overwhelmingly expressing a thirst for something refreshing--something that brings them back to the root of their faith and that helps them distinguish between Christianity as an American civil religion and Christianity as it was passed onto the Saints. Corey wants Christians who are growing frustrated with the church they know today to not be discouraged, to assure them that they do not need to give up their faith, but to rediscover the reality of a vibrant Christian faith that inspires and empowers, challenges and guides us today. BEN COREY is an author, speaker, blogger for the popular Formerly Fundie, and leader in the Emerging Church Movement and Progressive Christianity. Corey is a scholar with two graduate degrees from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in areas of theology and mission, and is currently finishing his doctoral work at Fuller Theological Seminary. His work has been featured by TIME, TIME Ideas, Sojourners, and Red Letter Christians. He has also been a guest on HuffPost Live, the Drew Marshall Show, and is a regular guest on Tell Me Everything with John Fugelsang. He is also the author of Undiluted: Rediscovering the Radical Message of Jesus. 213

Resurrecting Easter How the West Lost and the East Kept the Original Easter Vision

By John Dominic Crossan Cutting edge Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan (HOW TO READ THE BIBLE AND STILL BE A CHRISTIAN, HISTORICAL JESUS, GOD AND EMPIRE) painstakingly travels throughout the ancient Eastern church documenting through text and image a completely different model for understanding Easter's resurrection story, one that provides more promise and hope in our day and age.

Renowned Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan routinely explores ancient Christian sites and came upon a startling discovery. In Cairo, Crossan went to Saint Barbara's Church and discovered a painting depicting the resurrection of Christ that did not resemble the resurrection depicted in the Western Church. Instead of a solitary Jesus rising from an empty tomb, he saw an image of a Jesus who grasped the hands of other figures in the painting. He noticed this trend elsewhere in the East where the resurrection being depicted was a communal event, sometimes lifting Adam and Eve to heaven from Hades or hell and other times carrying the old and sick to the afterlife. What he discovered was that the standard image for the Resurrection in Eastern Christianity is communal and collective, something unique from the solitary depiction of the resurrection in Western Christianity. Fifteen years in the making, this controversial book observes a divide in how the Western and Eastern churches depict the resurrection and its implications. Crossan argues that the West has gutted the heart of Christianity's understanding of Resurrection by rejecting that once-common communal iconography that is still present in the East in favor of its own separate/individual vision. He also examines the common Eastern imagery of Jesus freeing Eve from Hades while ascending to heaven and suggests that this iconography raises profound questions about Christian morality and forgiveness. As one of the foremost biblical scholars of our day, John Dominic Crossan combines travel and theology to show Western Christians that their Easter is but one way of many of understanding the Resurrection and that the Eastern alternative is possibly much more profound. JOHN DOMINIC CROSSAN, professor emeritus at DePaul University, is widely regarded as the foremost historical Jesus scholar of our time. He is the author of several bestselling books, including HOW TO READ THE BIBLE AND STILL BE A CHRISTIAN, HISTORICAL JESUS, GOD AND EMPIRE, JESUS: A Revolutionary Biography, THE GREATEST PRAYER, and THE POWER OF PARABLE.

Great Unknown: Where Feet May Fail A Book About Trust By Joel Houston The first book out of Hillsong United, the world-famous Christian rock group with 17 million records sold and millions of social media followers, from their front man Joel Houston that is based off of the band's most popular song, "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)".

With over 770,000 combined social media followers and world-famous songs sung by 50 million every week, Joel Houston is one of the most influential Christian figures in the world. At the helm of Hillsong United, a Christian rock and worship group that has sold more than 17 million albums worldwide, he has written dozens of songs about faith and spirituality and has won numerous awards. Yet few of his fans know that Houston’s spiritual journey— like most of his followers—has not been straightforward, but one of facing fears, failures, and doubts. Now, fans of Hillsong United and Houston have what they want more of: a book inspired by the band’s most popular song that explores faith in a modern world. In Where Feet May Fail, Houston shares his own experiences of struggling to understand his faith using the lyrics from, “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” Following the message of the song, we all desire to follow God wherever he may lead us in life, but that often means taking giant steps of faith, trusting that God is taking care of us and has something big in store. Though sometimes we may stumble and fail, God never fails, and by stepping into this mystery, we find a deeper faith and an alignment of God’s purpose for our lives. Fans of Houston, Hillsong United, and Hillsong Church—represented by nearly 12.5 million social media followers combined—will look for a book that challenges and encourages their faith, and Where Feet May Fail will do just that. JOEL HOUSTON is Creative Director for Hillsong United, one of the largest Christian rock groups in the world, as well as co-pastor of Hillsong NYC. He is the recipient of numerous awards including a 2016 American Music Award and Billboard Music Award and his music is sung every Sunday by more than 50 million people worldwide.

In November 2016, THE WILD UNKNOWN TAROT DECK AND GUIDEBOOK became the first tarot deck ever to hit the New York Times bestseller list, making it clear that the audience for Kim’s visionary work had expanded leagues beyond her already impressive independent reach as a cult sensation. Now, her enthusiastic new audience, as well as her large ongoing core indie audience—who have already embraced Animal Spirit in its first limited release through thewildunknown.com—is poised and ready for Kim’s newest keepsake box set: the equally breathtaking The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck and Guidebook, together for the first time in a beautifully designed keepsake box set. Hand drawn in the same dramatic, emotionally evocative style of The Wild Unknown Tarot, THE WILD UNKNOWN ANIMAL SPIRIT DECK features 63 gorgeous cards, each one a stunning portrait of an animal real or imagined. Divided into five suits structured by the five yogic elements that make up all living things — Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether, you’ll find creatures that roam the field and forest, swim in the oceans and rivers, inhabit deserts and grasslands and soar through the sky. The Ether suit holds the seven spirit cards, and represent the seven chakras of the subtle body. The powerful animal archetypes from realms both natural and mystical of THE WILD UNKNOWN ANIMAL SPIRIT DECK offer insight into relationships, personalities, behaviors and tendencies and can be used alone or alongside The Wild Unknown Tarot to add an additional layer of depth to readings. From the Peacock who symbolizes inner beauty and reminds us to practice self-acceptance to the playful Dolphin who indicates a profound blessing is headed our way, each animal has been carefully selected for its symbolic potency and the lesson at the core of its nature. The 200-page hand-lettered, fully illustrated guidebook offers grounded, easy to understand explanations of the cards and a detailed look at the many spreads, practices and concepts that power the Animal Spirit deck, as well as deep insight into how each animal helps illuminate our contradictions, our complex natures, and the endless mystery of who we are. KIM KRANS studied art at Cooper Union in New York City. In addition to THE WILD UNKNOWN TAROT , she is the author and illustrator of several children’s book, including Hello Sacred Life and ABC Dream. Currently, she lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, Arjan, and teaches Yoga, makes art, and writes. 216

Jesus for Atheists Why He Still Matters Even If You Don’t Worship Him By Amy-Jill Levine Renowned biblical scholar at Vanderbilt Divinity School and author of SHORT STORIES BY JESUS and THE MISUNDERSTOOD JEW, Amy-Jill Levine reveals why Jesus is fascinating, provocative, and relevant independent of his religious significance. Bible scholar, author, and Jewish agnostic professor Amy-Jill Levine once again offers an unexpected angle on the importance of Jesus, this time on his historical and cultural influence. So much of the scholarship around Jesus of Nazareth is on his religious significance, yet Levine opens the discussion to include his significance as a cultural and historical figure. Even for those not interested in faith, Levine argues, Jesus is an important study. Based on her extensive experience as a Jewish professor teaching Christian pastors about the New Testament, Levine learned how important it is to bring Jesus’s significance as an historical and cultural figure for everyone, even non-Christians. Levine makes Jesus of Nazareth come alive in his historical context and invites even the least spiritual reader to appreciate his lasting influence on the world today.

Building A Bridge By James Martin In a new revised and expanded edition, Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author James Martin makes the surprisingly controversial argument that Catholic leaders should stop seeing the LGBT community as “the enemy” and instead reach out to their flock in a new way, one characterized by compassion and openness. In a new revised and expanded edition, Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author James Martin makes the surprisingly controversial argument that Catholic leaders should stop seeing the LGBT community as "the enemy" and instead reach out to them with compassion and openness. In this inspiring book, with a new introduction along with fifty percent new material Father Martin turns to three virtues from the Catechism of the Catholic Church—"respect, compassion, and sensitivity"—as a model for how both the Catholic leadership and LGBT Catholics can move together on a "two-way bridge" toward reconciliation and love. This groundbreaking book also includes spiritual and biblical resources for the LGBT community and their families, friends, and allies. Father Martin offers biblical passages, accompanied by meditations and questions for reflection, to help LGBT people find their place in the church and enter into a deeper relationship with God. Building a Bridge is a compassionate book desperately needed in today’s climate of divisiveness.

The Three Questions How to Discover and Master the Power Within You

By Don Miguel Ruiz The beloved teacher of spiritual wisdom and author of the phenomenal New York Times and international bestseller THE FOUR AGREEMENTS provides a profound new book on finding and using the hidden power within all of us. International and New York Times bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz (THE FOUR AGREEMENTS, THE TOLTEC ART OF LIFE AND DEATH) returns to the core topic that his fans come to him for: Toltec wisdom on living our fullest lives. In this new book, Ruiz dives deep into the three essential questions that drive our lives and govern the power we all have at our disposal. But to find that power and use it well, we need to constantly ask ourselves three questions: 1. Who am I? 2. What is real? 3. How do I express love? If we don't ask these questions or if we fail to pay attention to their answers, we either never act on our power or use it destructively. Only when power is anchored in our identity and in reality will it be able to be in synch with the universe and be of true benefit to ourselves and to others. Ruiz anchors his lessons in a parable to illustrate his teachings. The three questions provide a practical framework from which readers can engage with Ruiz's transformative message and act as a vehicle for seeking their own existential and spiritual answers.

Unbelievable Why Neither Ancient Creeds Nor the Reformation Can Produce a Living Faith Today

By John Shelby Spong In his final book bestselling and controversial bishop and teacher John Shelby Spong (BIBLICAL LITERALISM: A Gentile Heresy, WHY CHRISTIANITY MUST CHANGE OR DIE, ETERNAL LIFE: A New Vision) offers eleven theses for a new reformation that restores Christianity as a religion of the future. The original reformation of 500 years ago was followed by a "revolutionary time of human knowledge." Bible scholar John Shelby Spong calls for modern Christians to update their faith in light of these advances in knowledge and so challenge the now-dated problematic Church teachings birthed by the Reformation. There is a dislocation, he argues, between the language of worship and the language of the 21st century. In response, we need to rethink and reformulate our basic understanding of God. Spong argues that there is building pressure for a radically new kind of Christianity, one that is deeply connected to the human experience instead of being held back by doctrine and dogma. For Spong, the revolutionary resistance to the authority of the Church in the sixteenth century is a muse for modern Christians. The questions Christians ask today are different from the ones posed during the Reformation, but they are similar. Does the idea of God still have meaning? Are the historic creeds things we can still say with integrity? Are not the claims of an infallible Pope or an inerrant Bible both ridiculous in today's world? As he has done with his previous bestselling books, Spong offers a radical new approach to Christian thought and invites readers to help Christianity change for fear of losing it completely.

The Questions God Asks of Us An Exploration of How the Bible Changes Us By Lauren F.

"What does it mean that Jesus asks so many questions? I don't think it means that Jesus is vague, or ambivalent. I don't think it means that Jesus is wishy-washy. I think Jesus' questions mean something else altogether." Lauren Winner, theologian, writer, Episcopal priest, and Duke Divinity School professor invites readers to reflect on what she identifies as the seven most powerful questions from the Bible. In the tradition of her previous books—Wearing God, Girl Meets God, and Still—Winner weaves together her personal stories with meditations on the Bible's key questions. This exercise, she reveals, helps us understand the text as wisdom instead of doctrine. Questions, she argues, do more to shape us than does the passive reception of information; they people to discover something new, to unearth new knowledge. LAUREN F. WINNER is the award-winning author of numerous books, including WEARING GOD, GIRL MEETS GOD, STILL, and MUDHOUSE SABBOTH, and a professor of spirituality at Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina.

Paul A Biography By N. T. Wright Renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author (THE DAY THE REVOLUTION BEGAN, SIMPLY CHRISTIAN, SURPRISED BY HOPE) N. T. Wright showcases the humanity and remarkable achievements of an intellectual who changed the world. N.T. Wright argues that Bible scholars and pastors have focused so much attention on the apostle Paul’s letters and theology that most have failed to step back and consider his humanity and the extreme unlikelihood of what he was able to achieve. “The problem,” he writes,“ is that Paul is central to any understanding of earliest Christianity, yet Paul was a Jew, and that for many generations Christians of all kinds have struggled to put this together.” Wright refutes old scholarship that pulled Paul out of his Jewish world altogether and instead argues that the proper context for understanding Paul is in his Jewish world. This radical new way of understanding one of the most famous Christian figures helps readers understand what Wright argues is Paul’s greater role in Christian history: inventor of new paradigms for how we understand Jesus and what he accomplished. In this biography, Wright hopes to fill in the human and intellectual drama behind the apostle’s writings in order so that we see his thoughts and ideas afresh as well as more clearly. Even outside Christians circles, Paul ranks as one of the most effective and influential intellectuals of any era.
