House of Night TP boxed set (books 5-8) Hunted, Tempted, Burned, Awakened P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Dare to enter the House of Night with the next four titles of the series (following UNTAMED), collected in a beautifully designed boxed... With more than 12 million books in print, rights sold in almost 40 countries, and over two years on the New York Times bestseller list (reaching as high as #1), the House of Night series is an international publishing sensation. The series follows 16-year-old Zoey Redbird as she is “Marked” by a vampyre tracker and begins to undergo the “Change” into an actual vampyre. She has to leave her family and move into the House of Night in Tulsa, OK, a boarding school for other fledgling vampyres like her. It’s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. Although Zoey has awesome new powers, it’s hard to fit in when everyone knows you’re “special.” As Zoey tries to make new friends and maybe find a hot boyfriend (or two), she comes up against all kinds of evil, from the perfect-looking, super-popular girl with not-so-faultless plans, to the mysterious deaths happening at the House of Night and all over Tulsa. Things at the House of Night are not always what they seem. Can Zoey find the courage deep within herself to find the truth and embrace her destiny?

PRAISE

Praise for The House of Night series: “Twilight meets Harry Potter . . . Zoey Redbird . . . is basically the most relatable vampire—sorry, fledgling vampyre—I've ever read about.” —MTV.com on The House of Night series 2

Effie Gray was the woman at the center of Victorian England’s most scandalous love triangle, one involving two art world giants: critic, John Ruskin, and his protégé, painter John Everett Millais. Married at nineteen to a much older Ruskin, Effie found herself trapped in a loveless, unconsummated union and under the critical eyes of his parents. But a holiday in Scotland changed her life. At that time, John Everett Millais was supposed to paint Ruskin’s portrait; however, his eye fell on Ruskin’s wife and they fell passionately in love. Effie left Ruskin, risking everything. She hoped to find fulfillment marrying Millais, but tragedy continued to stalk her. Suzanne Fagence Cooper has gained exclusive access to Effie’s extensive previously unseen letters and diaries to tell the true tale of this great Victorian romance. Effie is both a powerfully moving love story and a compelling portrait of the extraordinary woman behind some of the most provocative pre-Raphaelite paintings. PRAISE

"Suzanne Fagence Cooper's meticulously researched and yet touchingly personal memoir of Effie Gray is a joy to read. We know so much about Ruskin and Millais - so little about the most influential woman in their lives. Miserably married to the first and triumphantly to the second, Effie's story is emblematic of the struggle of Victorian women who had to survive without the outlets, opportunities or rights that were afforded to men. Her trail-blazing life makes a wonderful, rich book." -- Emma Thompson "At last Effie Millais has been given her voice and it is marvelous one.

Elaine Boldt's wrappings were a good deal flashier than her sister's, but they signaled the same thing: The lady had money. According to the manager of her California building, the wealthy widow was last seen draped in her $12,000 lynx coat heading for Boca Raton. According to the manager of her Florida building, she never got there. But someone else had, and she was camping out illegally in Mrs. Boldt's apartment. The job was beginning to seem a bit less routine. It turned tricky when Beverly Danziger ordered Millhone to drop the case, and it took on an ominous quality when Aubrey Danziger surfaced, making all kinds of wild accusations about his wife. But it only became sinister when Millhone learned that just days before Elaine Boldt went missing, her next-door neighbor and bridge partner had been murdered, and the killer was still at large. As Millhone digs deeper into the case, she finds herself in a nightmarish hall of mirrors in which reality is distorted by illusion and nothing—except danger—is quite what it seems. PRAISE

How do we turn off the noise of daily life, turn on our brains, and begin to engage in that fundamental human activity known as thinking again? P.M.

No quarterback in the history of the NFL can match Bart Starr’s record of achievement. In an unprecedented seven-season run from 1961–67, Starr led the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowl titles, while revolutionizing the position and laying the foundation for the quarterbacks of today. Yet until now this quiet man’s remarkable career has often been obscured by the Lombardi mystique. Acclaimed author Keith Dunnavant brings Starr’s dramatic journey to life in vivid detail, sketching the definitive portrait of an iconic figure who defined the quarterback position. A remarkable blend of personal memory and historical narrative, America’s Quarterback is a compelling biography of an American hero and the perfect companion to the classic When Pride Still Mattered.

In Counterstrike, Eric Schmitt and Thom Shanker of The New York Times take readers into a previously hidden theater of war, as U.S. ground troops, intelligence operatives, and top executive branch officials have fashioned effective new strategies to fight terrorism, in sharp contrast to the cowboy slogans that once characterized the U.S. government's public posture. They show how these innovative strategies, drawn from classic Cold War deterrence theory, were employed in the dramatic raid in which Osama bin Laden was killed, and in a new afterword the authors point to the ongoing challenges and successes facing America in the Middle East, in cyberspace, and at home. Filled with startling revelations about how our national security is being managed, Counterstrike will change the way Americans think about the ongoing struggle with violent radical extremism.

Kinsey could see that. But now his body was covered in scars, his face half-collapsed. It saddened Kinsey and made her curious. She could see he was in a lot of pain.

Then one Monday morning, when there was no one else in the gym, Bobby Callahan approached her. His story was hard to credit: a murderous assault by a tailgating car on a lonely rural road, a roadside smash into a canyon four hundred feet below, his Porsche a bare ruin, his best friend dead. The doctors had managed to put his body back together again—his mother's money had seen to that. But they couldn't restore the huge chunks of memory wiped out by the crash. Bobby knew someone had tried to kill him, but he didn't know why. He knew he had the key to something that made him dangerous to the killer, but he didn't know what it was. And he sensed that someone was still out there, ready to pounce at the first sign his memory was coming back. He'd been to the cops, but they'd shrugged off his story. His family thought he had a screw loose. He wanted to hire Kinsey. Three days later, Bobby Callahan was dead. Kinsey Millhone never welshed a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing.

Killing Lincoln The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard

A #1 New York Times bestseller and a riveting history of the heartstopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, from mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly The runaway #1 New York Times bestseller that brings new life to one of the most dramatic stories in American history— how one gunshot changed the country forever. In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles, with President Abraham Lincoln’s generous terms for Robert E. Lee’s surrender designed to reunify the country. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. government, are not appeased. In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington, D.C., John Wilkes Booth—charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist—murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues while Lafayette C. Baker, a smart but shifty New York detective and former Union spy, unravels the string of clues leading to Booth and his accomplices. The thrilling chase ends in a fiery shootout and a series of court-ordered executions—including that of the first woman ever executed by the U.S. government, Mary Surratt. This is history that reads like a thriller.

BILL O'REILLY is the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor, the highest-rated cable news show in the country. He also writes a syndicated newspaper column and is the author of several number-one bestselling books. He is, perhaps, the most talked about political commentator in America. MARTIN DUGARD is the New York Times bestselling author of several books of history. His book Into Africa: The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone has been adapted into a History Channel special. He lives in Southern California with his wife and three sons.

Read an excerpt from Beneath the Glitter Moving to LA had been a different adventure than Sophia and Ava had ever expected, but it was turning out great. Their potential sponsors couldn’t have been happier. Everything was— A commotion behind them caused them to turn to the party, where police officers were moving through the guests like a snake through tall grass. "Sophia and Ava London," said one officer. "You’re under arrest. Please come with us." As the two sisters were led across the patio, their Prada clad guests’ eyes were riveted on them, every face a mask of shock and horror. Or almost every face. A woman at the edge of the crowd took a sip of Veuve Cliquot to hide her smile. That was the key about LA: in the town that practically invented make believe, nothing—and no one—was ever what it seemed.

It's Hard Not to Hate You Valerie Frankel

From the author of Thin Is the New Happy comes a hilarious memoir about embracing your Inner Hater “The hate in you has got to come out.” The day her doctor gave her this advice, Valerie Frankel realized the biggest source of pressure in her life was maintaining an unflappable easygoing persona. So she decides to go on a mission of emotional honesty, vowing to let herself feel and express all the toxic emotions she’d long suppressed or denied: jealousy, rage, greed, envy, impatience, regret. She reveals her personal History of Hate, from mean girls in junior high to selfish boyfriends in her twenties and old professional rivals. Hate stomps through her life, too, with snobby neighbors, rude cell phone talkers, scary doctors, and helicopter moms. Regarding her husband, she asks, “How Do I Hate You? Let Me Count The Ways.” (FYI: There are three.) Can it be that toxic emotions are actually good for you? That the positive thinkers, aka The Secret crowd, have it backward? It’s Hard Not To Hate You explores the concept that there are no wrong emotions—only wrong ways of dealing with them.

VALERIE FRANKEL is the author of Thin Is the New Happy and such chick lit favorites as THE The Accidental Virgin, The Girlfriend Curse, and Hex and the Single Girl. The former articles editor at Mademoiselle, Frankel has contributed to The New York Times, O, Glamour, Allure, Self, and Good Housekeeping, among many other publications.

Then, during one break-in, the Tag Man discovers what appears to be proof of heinous murders, proof that quickly has him running for his life. Joe Gunther is still reeling from a devastating personal loss and his VBI team struggle to understand this strange criminal, while the burglar himself fights for survival in the no-man’s-land between the police and the villains.

Bad Haircut Stories of the Seventies Tom Perrotta

New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta’s first book is "more powerful than any coming-of-age novel" (The Washington Post)

* Griffin Select * National Print Publicity * Online Marketing Campaign * Online Promotion at ReadingGroupGold.com * Email Marketing Campaign * Social Media Campaign - facebook.com/TomPerrottaAuthor * Author Website: TomPerotta.net * Featured in the back of the the trade paperback and ebook of The Leftovers * Available as an E-book: 978-1-25001742-0

Bad Haircut explores the themes that have fascinated Perrotta throughout his career: suburban rituals and mores; sports and religion; the cheerful cheesiness of American consumer life; public tests of manliness; and the moral dilemmas faced by ordinary people, parents, and teenagers alike. Perrotta has continued to explore these subjects in novels from Election to The Abstinence Teacher. The ten rich stories here are linked by a single protagonist: Buddy, an adolescent suburban New Jersey boy who is truly seeing his world for the first time and already finding it both mysterious and lacking. Whether he’s out on a Boy Scout trip with his mother and discovering that his mother actually knows—and has a history with—the man inside the battered foam hot dog costume in "The Weiner Man", feeling the first glimmer that sex might actually be possible for him in "Thirteen", or finding himself swept along on a prank gone very wrong in "Snowman," Buddy is both a recognizable American boy and a trademark Perrotta hero. Bad Haircut is a moving, spare book from a writer who, even this early in his career, had an assured sense of the complexity of his characters’ emotional landscapes. PRAISE

Like that book, Perrotta's funny and deeply touching collection marks the arrival of a writer who's here for the long haul.” —Tobias Wolff TOM PERROTTA is the author of seven books, most recently The Leftovers. Two of his novels—Election and Little Children—have been made into acclaimed and award-winning movies. Perrotta grew up in New Jersey and now lives outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

Midnight City A Conquered Earth Novel J. Barton Mitchell

Lord of the Flies meets War of the Worlds in this alien-invaded postapocalyptic world where two teens and a young girl with amazing powers must stop the aliensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mysterious plan Earth has been conquered by an alien race known as the Assembly. The human adult population is gone, having succumbed to the Toneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a powerful, telekinetic super-signal broadcast across the planet, which has reduced them to a state of complete subservience. But the tone has one critical flaw. It only affects the population once they reach twentyone or twenty-two years old. This means that there is one group left to fight. Teens. Holt Hawkins is a bounty hunter, and his current target is Mira Toombs, a treasure seeker who has escaped from Midnight City after being sentenced to death. It's not long before Holt bags his prey, but their instant connection isn't something for which Holt bargained. Neither is the Assembly ship that crash-lands near them shortly after he captures Mira. Venturing inside the ship, despite the tied-up Mira's objections, Holt finds a young girl who can't remember anything except her name: Zoey. The three soon begin an adventure through alien-conquered North America, encountering young freedom fighters, powerful artifacts of strange science that seem like magic, pirates and brigands, and frightening mutated creatures of the night, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the Assembly. Zoey, in the meantime, starts to exhibit amazing powers while Holt and Mira begin to realize that this young girl just may be the key to stopping the alien invaders. Midnight City is the breathtaking first book in the Conquered Earth series that chronicles three young people and their journey through a dangerous world as they try to save it.

Read an excerpt from Midnight City There was motion ahead of them. Huge shapes moved in the dark, trailing colorful lights behind them. Strange, sinister, distorted electronic chirps echoed back and forth, and the ground shuddered as they moved, like giant feet pounding the earth. Assembly walkers, half a dozen of them. Probably the smaller Mantis type, but "smaller" was a relative term here. Holt froze with Mira under him, staring in shock. "Get off me," Mira whispered violently, "you’re on my—" Holt clamped her mouth shut with his hand. She squirmed and glared knives up at him, tried to bite his— They both went motionless as a red beam of light pulsed out and split the air above them. One of the Mantises was looking for them, scanning with its targeting laser. Had it heard them? If it had, they were both dead.

America has been at war on several fronts since the 9/11 attacks. While public attention has focused on Marines, conventional Army units, and Special Operations Forces, a lion’s share of the war-fighting has been done, under media radar, by Military Police units. These squad and platoon-sized units patrol dangerous urban streets, build up local police units to improve neighborhood stability, and conduct civic action missions. On many occasions they have rushed into a vicious firefight to come to the assistance of infantry units in desperate straits. Warrior Police takes readers into the bloody streets of Iraq, the dangerous back-country of Afghanistan, and wherever our Military Police are needed. PRAISE

The House I Loved Tatiana de Rosnay

From The New York Times bestselling author of Sarah’s Key and A Secret Kept comes an absorbing new novel about one woman’s resistance during an époque that shook Paris to its very core Paris, France: 1860s. Hundreds of houses are being razed, whole neighborhoods reduced to ashes. By order of Emperor Napoleon III, Baron Haussmann has set into motion a series of large-scale renovations that will permanently alter the face of old Paris, molding it into a “modern city.” The reforms will erase generations of history—and in the midst of the tumult, one woman will take a stand. Rose Bazelet is determined to fight against the destruction of her family home until the very end. As others flee, she stakes her claim in the basement of the old house on rue Childebert, ignoring the sounds of change that come closer and closer each day. Attempting to overcome the loneliness of her daily life, she begins to write letters to Armand, her beloved late husband. And as she delves into the ritual of remembering, Rose is forced to come to terms with a secret that has been buried deep in her heart for thirty years.

TATIANA DE ROSNAY is the author of ten novels, including The New York Times bestselling novels Sarah’s Key and A Secret Kept. Sarah's Key is an international sensation with more than 5 million copies sold in forty countries worldwide and has been made into a major motion picture.

Why Steve Jobs Matters Alan Deutschman A seasoned Silicon Valley watcher tells us why Steve Jobs remains one of our most important cultural icons

* National Print Publicity * Available as an E-book: 978-1-25001754-3

Steve Jobs changed our world. In Why Steve Jobs Matters, Alan Deutschman explores the astonishing impact Jobs continues to have one year after his untimely death. From the creation of the earliest Apple computers to the latest iPhone, Jobs’s creations forced seismic changes in the way we communicate, do business, seek out entertainment, and interact with others. His enduring influence as the patron saint of The Creative Class cuts even deeper: In his single-minded control of Apple, Jobs was an example of the successful entrepreneur tycoon who pushed many members of the Silicon Valley creative class to greater heights. Without his example, many people of his generation—inside of and outside of Silicon Valley—may not have been so driven. Alan Deutschman’s thoughtful consideration of Jobs as a cultural and technological pioneer who, like others before him such as Thomas Edison, changed the way we live forever. ALAN DEUTSCHMAN is the author of The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, Change or Die , A Tale of Two Valleys, and Walk the Walk: The #1 Rule for Real Leaders. He has written for Fortune, Fast Company and GQ. He was a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and New York. His articles have appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Wired, and Salon.com. He currently serves as the Reynolds Chair of Business Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno. He lives in Reno, Nevada.

"D" is for Deadbeat Sue Grafton The New York Times #1 bestselling series reissued for a whole new generation of readers! He called himself Alvin Limardo, and the job he had for Kinsey was cut-anddried: locate a kid who'd done him a favor and pass on a check for $25,000. It was only later, after he'd stiffed her for her retainer, that Kinsey found out his name was Daggett. John Daggett. Ex-con. Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. And dead. The cops called it an accident—death by drowning. Kinsey wasn't so sure.

* Online Promotion at CriminalElement.com * Social Media Campaign: facebook.com/SueGrafton * Email Marketing Campaign * Author Website: SueGrafton.com

Pulled into the detritus of a dead man's life, Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had an awful lot of enemies. There's the daughter who grew up with a cheating drunk for a father, and the wife who's become a religious nut in response to an intolerable marriage. There's the lady who thought she was Mrs. Daggett—and has the bruises to prove it—only to discover the legal Mrs. D. And there are the drug dealers out $25,000. But most of all, there are the families of the five people John Daggett killed, victims of his wild, drunken driving. The D.A. called it vehicular manslaughter and put him away for two years. The families called it murder and had very good reason to want John Daggett dead. Deft, cunning, and clever, this latest Millhone mystery also confronts some messy truths, for, as Kinsey herself says, "Some debts of the human soul are so enormous only life itself is sufficient forfeit"—but as she'd be the first to admit, murder is not a socially acceptable solution.

SEAL Target Geronimo The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama bin Laden Chuck Pfarrer

The controversial New York Times bestseller that tells the "engrossing account of the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden." —Kirkus Reviews (starred) On May 2, 2011, an elite group of SEAL Team Six members invaded a private compound in Pakistan and ended the hunt for the world’s most sought after terrorist. Though other government-sanctioned accounts of the raid were written, only SEAL Target Geronimo tells the story from the viewpoint of the men who were there. Branded a fabrication by U.S. Special Operations Command, but applauded by those who wanted the government to tell the real story of the killing of Osama bin Laden, SEAL Target Geronimo became a controversial New York Times bestseller. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the operation, Chuck Pfarrer shares their version of the raid and gives readers an exclusive, boots-on-the-ground account of each minute of the mission. Pfarrer takes readers on the helicopter flight over the wall and leads us deep into the terrorist lair telling us just what it looked, sounded and smelled like as the bullets flew, the helicopter malfunctioned and the SEAL team stormed Bin Laden’s hideout. Pfarrer then goes deeper than the mission itself to explain how the SEALs studied bin Laden and chronicles earlier SEAL missions that were integral to the success of Neptune’s Spear. SEAL Target Geronimo is the explosive story of a historic mission that puts the unparalleled valor of the United States Navy’s SEAL Team Six front and center leaving the politicos out. Did the government tell the truth? Read SEAL Target Geronimo and decide for yourself.

CHUCK PFARRER is a former assault-element commander of SEAL Team Six and the author the bestseller Warrior Soul The Memoir of a Navy SEAL. He lives in Michigan.

Few comedians can generate headlines like Stephen Colbert. With his appearance at a Congressional hearing, his rally in Washington, his bestselling book, his creation of the now accepted word "truthiness", and of course his popular TV show, nearly everyone (except the poor fools who agree to be interviewed on his show) has heard of him. But who is he really? Lisa Rogak gives us a look behind the character. She reveals the tragedy that forever altered his family and charts his comedy roots, especially his connection with Amy Sedaris which led to the cult TV show and movie Strangers With Candy. She also offers a current look inside The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. PRAISE

"There are plenty of smiles in Lisa Rogak's assemblage of facts and anecdotes." —USA Today “In this carefully crafted, behind-the-scenes biography, Rogak succeeds in uncovering the ‘truthiness’ about the real Colbert.” —Booklist “This engaging, entertaining biography . . . succeeds in capturing Colbert’s anarchic, iconoclastic spirit.” —Publishers Weekly “Gives us insight into the man behind the mouth.” —Kirkus Reviews

"A conversational, multiperspective account of his life. . . . This is the first major biography of Colbert and one fans will appreciate." —Library Journal LISA ROGAK is the author of more than forty books. She is the author of the Edgarand Anthony-nominated Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King and editor of the New York Times-bestselling Barack Obama in His Own Words.

Jennifer Wilson, her architect husband, Jim, and their two children had been living the typical soccer- and ballet-practice life in the most Middle American of places: Des Moines, Iowa. They overindulged themselves and their kids, and as a family they were losing one another in the rush of work, school, and activities. One day, Jen and her husband looked at each other–both holding their Starbucks coffee as they headed out to their SUV in the mall parking lot, while the kids complained about the inferiority of the toys they just got–and asked themselves: "Is this the American dream? Because if it is, it sort of sucks." Jim and Jen had always dreamed of taking a family sabbatical in another country, so when they lost half their savings in the stock-market crash, it seemed like just a crazy enough time to do it. High on wanderlust, they left the troubled landscape of contemporary America for the Croatian village of Mrkopalj, the land of Jennifer's ancestors. It was a town that seemed hermetically sealed for the last one hundred years, with a population of eight hundred residents and a herd of sheep milling around the post office. For several months they lived like locals, from milking the neighbor's cows to eating roasted pig on a spit to desperately seeking the local recipe for bootleg liquor. As the Wilson-Hoff family struggled to stay sane (and warm), what they found was much deeper and bigger than themselves. PRAISE

An American Spy Olen Steinhauer

"Another must-read from the best novelist working today in the tradition of John le Carré." —Booklist (starred)

In Olen Steinhauer’s bestseller, The Tourist, reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver uncovered a conspiracy linking the Chinese government to the highest reaches of the American intelligence community, including his own Department of Tourism—the most clandestine department in the Company. The shocking blowback arrived in the Hammett Award–winning The Nearest Exit when the department was almost completely wiped out as the result of an even more insidious plot. Following on the heels of these two spectacular New York Times bestsellers comes An American Spy, Steinhauer’s most outstanding thriller yet. With only a handful of “tourists”—CIA-trained assassins—left, Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life focused on his family. But his former boss, Alan Drummond, can’t let it go. When Alan uses one of Milo’s compromised aliases then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to himself , Milo must hunt him down.Worse still, it's beginning to look as if the department’s enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal blow. With An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer, by far the best espionage writer in a generation, delivers a searing international thriller.

OLEN STEINHAUER, the New York Times bestselling author of eight novels, is a two-time Edgar award finalist, a Dashiell Hammett award winner and has been shortlisted for the Anthony, the Macavity, the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger, the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger, and the Barry awards. Raised in Virginia, he lives in San Francisco, California.

PRAISE “The Nearest Exit [is] a terrific second installment in Olen Steinhauer’s ‘Tourist’ spy series.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times (Notable Book of 2010) “Weaver is the novel's gem . . . A classic spy novel, but it's Weaver's angst that lifts the book to a compelling level of freshness.” —USA Today on The Nearest Exit “The best spy novel I’ve ever read that wasn’t written by John le Carré.” —Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly on The Tourist “[Steinhauer] excels when the focus is on Weaver, an intriguing, damaged man yearning to break free of his dark profession.” —People on The Tourist “Remember John le Carré . . . when he wrote about beatendown, morally directionless spies? In other words, when he was good? That's how Olen Steinhauer writes in this tale of a world-weary spook who can't escape the old game.” —Time on The Tourist

The Puppy Diaries Raising a Dog Named Scout Jill Abramson

“In The Puppy Diaries, Jill Abramson beautifully captures the experience of having a balanced and fulfilling relationship with her canine friends—Buddy and Scout.” —Cesar Millan One sparkling summer day, Jill Abramson brought home a golden retriever puppy named Scout. Over the next year, Abramson wrote a hugely popular column for The New York Times's Web site about the joys and challenges of training this rambunctious addition to their family. Dog lovers from across the country inundated her with e-mails and letters, and their dog photos became the most visited photo album on the Times's site in 2009. Now Abramson has written a deeply personal account of Scout's first year. Part memoir, part manual, part investigative report, The Puppy Diaries continues Abramson's intrepid reporting on all things canine. Along the way, she weighs in on such issues as breeders or shelters, adoption or rescue, raw diet or vegan, pack-leader gurus like Cesar Millan or positivereinforcement advocates like Karen Pryor. What should you expect when a new puppy enters your life? The Puppy Diaries provides an essential road map for navigating the first year of your dog's life.

JILL ABRAMSON, a bestselling and award-winning author, is the executive editor of The New York Times. An unabashed dog-lover, she has long been fascinated by the complex relationship between dogs and their owners. She, her husband, and Scout live in New York City and Connecticut.

PRAISE “A golden retriever of a memoir. Unaffected, unironic, and lovingly goofy . . . it should hit the wide, heart-shaped mark cultivated by dog fanciers everywhere.” —Alexandra Styron, The New York Times Book Review “Ms. Abramson writes with intelligence and grace and never descends into the saccharine . . . [Her] voice is bighearted and surprisingly down to earth.” —John Grogan, The New York Times and author of Marley & Me “Jill Abramson had me at ‘woof’ . . . Scout is a doll, all right, but Abramson lives up to her resume as one, um, dogged journalist . . . It shares so many fears, frustrations, misapprehensions and joys with child-rearing that you could drop a kid’s name in some passages instead of ‘Scout’ and it would make perfect sense.” —The Los Angeles Times

In 2006, Charles Shields reached out to Kurt Vonnegut in a letter asking for his endorsement for a planned biography. The first response was no ("A most respectful demurring by me for the excellent writer Charles J. Shields, who offered to be my biographer"). Unwilling to take no for an answer, propelled by a passion for his subject, and already deep into his research, Shields wrote again and this time, to his delight, the answer came back: "O.K." For the next year—a year that ended up being Vonnegut's last—Shields had unprecedented access to Vonnegut and his letters. While millions know Vonnegut as a counterculture guru, antiwar activist, and satirist of American culture, few outside his closest friends and family knew the full arc of his extraordinary life. And So It Goes changes that, painting the portrait of a man who made friends easily but always felt lonely, sold millions of books but never felt appreciated, and described himself as a humanist but fought with humanity at large. As a former public relations man, Vonnegut crafted his image carefully—the avuncular, curly-haired humorist—though he admitted, "I myself am a work of fiction." The extremely wide and overwhelmingly positive review coverage for And So It Goes has been nothing less than extraordinary and confirm it as the definitive biography of Kurt Vonnegut. CHARLES J. SHIELDS is the author of And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut: A Life, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, and I Am Scout: The Biography of Harper Lee (Henry Holt Books for Young Readers). He grew up in the Midwest and taught in a rural school in central Illinois for several years. He has been a reporter for public radio, a journalist, and the author of nonfiction books for young people. He and his wife live near Charlottesville, Virginia.

Portlandtown A Tale of the Oregon Wyldes Rob DeBorde A supernatural western a la Stephen King's Dark Tower—a family must do battle with an outlaw and his brethren risen from the grave Six feet of Oregon mud would have kept its secret had the old Marshal not gone digging for what he could not remember.

Joseph Wylde was not surprised the Marshal had lost a step. He was a good man, a Hero of the West according to those who knew such things, but he’d let old fears get the better of him. He would be happier in Portland, amongst those who loved him. He wouldn’t have to be afraid of the past. None of them would…not anymore.That was why his son-in-law had come to take him back to Portland to live with Katie and the curious grandtwins. Henry Macke was not afraid. He remembered what the Marshal could not and now the book was his. He would keep it, study it, would never let it go . . . he would do these things and more just as soon as he took care of the other thing buried on the hill. The dead man had waited more than a decade, but his legend was not so easily forgotten. He needed only for the young fool to do what came naturally in the presence of so many beautiful words: read. Thus begins Portlandtown, a tale of an extraordinary family forced to do battle with the Hanged Man and his undead horde to save the West. PRAISE

"Glorious characters, wonderful settings and frantic storytelling combine in Portlandtown. A unique and fascinating horror novel. . . . Cowboys, the supernatural, steampunk and zombies . . . Portlandtown has enough to keep even the most demanding genre fan satisfied." —David Moody ROB DEBORDE's first book, Fish on a First-Name Basis (2006, St. Martin’s Press), reads suspiciously like an indispensible guide to everything wet and edible with nary a zombie in sight. His award-winning online show, Deep Fried, Live! with Tako the Octopus, does, however, feature undead clams and mutant prawns, and his forays into film, television, and videogames have been chock full of supernatural beasties (particularly Good Eats). Portlandtown is his first novel. DeBorde lives downriver from Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Sue, and a pug named Chloe.

Maya is an accomplished psychiatry resident with a terrific boyfriend, loving family, and bustling New York social life. When her grandmother dies in India, a family squabble over property results in a curse that drifts across continents and threatens Maya's life. Or so her father says—Maya, being a modern woman, an American, and a doctor, doesn't believe in curses, Brahman, or otherwise. But when her father suffers a heart attack, her sister miscarries, and her career and relationship both start to falter, Maya starts to worry. A trip back to India with her best friend Heidi, Maya reasons, will be just what's needed to remove the curse, save her family, and to put her own life back in order. Thus begins a journey into Maya's parallel world—an India filled with loving and annoying relatives, vivid colors, and superstitious customs—and a cross-cultural, transcontinental quest toward forging one identity out of two cultures as Maya learns unexpected lessons about life and love.

The Viral Storm The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age Nathan Wolfe

“[A] quietly terrifying book. . . . It’s hard not to feel a bit feverish at times while reading.” —The Boston Globe

In The Viral Storm, award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe tells the story of how viruses and human beings have evolved side by side through history; how deadly viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu almost wiped us out in the past; and why modern life has made our species vulnerable to the threat of a global pandemic. He takes readers along on his groundbreaking and often dangerous research trips to reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases and to explain the role that viruses have played in human evolution. In a world where each new outbreak seems worse than the one before, Wolfe points the way forward, as new technologies are brought to bear to neutralize these viruses and even harness their power for the good of humanity. His provocative vision of the future will change the way we think about viruses, and perhaps remove a potential threat to humanity's survival.

In Fear: Understanding and Accepting the Insecurities of Life, Osho takes the reader step by step over the range of what makes human beings afraid—from the reflexive “fight or flight” response to physical danger to the rational and irrational fears of the mind and its psychology. Only by bringing the light of understanding into fear’s dark corners, he says, airing out closets and opening windows, and looking under the bed to see if a monster is really living there, can we begin to venture outside the boundaries of our comfort zone and learn to live with, and even enjoy, the fundamental insecurity of being alive. Fear ends with a series of meditation experiments designed to help readers experience a new relationship with fear and to begin to see fears not as stumbling blocks, but as stepping stones to greater self-awareness and trust. OSHO is one of the most provocative and inspiring spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. He is known for his revolutionary contributions to the science of inner transformation, and the influence of his teachings continues to grow, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Across Many Mountains A Tibetan Family's Epic Journey from Oppression to Freedom Yangzom Brauen

"A vivid picture of Tibetan experience over the last eight decades." —His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Kunsang grew up in a remote mountain village where, as a teenager, she entered the local nunnery. She married a monk, had two children, and lived in peace and prayer. But not for long. The Chinese invaded Tibet in 1950, and Kunsang and her family fled on foot across the snowy Himalayas, only to spend years in Indian refugee camps. She lost her husband and her youngest child, but the future held an extraordinary turn of events—the arrival of a young Swiss man fascinated with Tibet. Martin Brauen fell instantly in love with Kunsang's young daughter, Sonam, eventually winning her heart and hand, and taking mother and daughter with him to Switzerland, where Yangzom was born. In rescuing the story of her now ninety-two-year-old grandmother and her mother, Yangzom Brauen has given us a book full of love, courage, and triumph. Across Many Mountains is a testament to three strong, determined women who are linked by an unbreakable family bond.

The Darkening Field William Ryan “Readers will want to see more of Korolev, a weary but determined cop who puts justice ahead of Stalinist politics." — Publishers Weekly

* Online Promotion at CriminalElement.com * Author Website: William-Ryan.com *Available as an E-book: 978-1-42995124-1

It is 1937, and Captain Alexei Korolev of Criminal Investigation Division of the Moscow Militia is bound for Odessa after the suicide of Maria Alexandrovna Lenskaya, a young party member who supposedly had an illicit relationship with a party director. His instructions are to determine if her suicide was actually a cover-up, but under no circumstances reveal her close ties to the director. Maria was working on the set of a state-subsidized movie. The pool of suspects is daunting, and while Korolev finds help from quarters both useful and ominous, none of them can make up for the one fact that he cannot discuss. Trapped between the demands of the party and the truth, Korolev is one of the most intriguing figures in crime fiction. PRAISE

“Booklist lauded Ryan’s first Korolev novel, The Holy Thief, and this successor fully delivers on the promise of that judgment. Korolev is a wonderful character, a spiritual ancestor of Martin Cruz Smith’s Arkady Renko . . . The plot is intricate, the action satisfying, and Ryan’s use of period detail . . . makes for exhilarating reading.” — Booklist (starred) WILLIAM RYAN is author of two novels.

How We Do Harm A Doctor Breaks Ranks About Being Sick in America Otis Webb Brawley, M.D., with Paul Goldberg A tough-minded, solidly argued indictment of health care . . . Brawley’s sense of outrage is palpable." —The Boston Globe

* National Broadcast Publicity * National Radio Publicity * National Print Publicity * Organization Outreach * Academic Marketing Campaign * Available as an E-book: 978-1-42994150-1

Dr. Otis Brawley is the chief medical and scientific officer of the American Cancer Society, an oncologist with a dazzling clinical, research, and policy career. In How We Do Harm he exposes the underbelly of healthcare today—the under treatment of the poor, the overtreatment of the rich, the financial conflicts of interests physicians face, insurance that doesn’t demand the best (or even cheapest) care, and a pharmaceutical behemoth concerned with selling drugs, not providing health. How We Do Harm is a call for rational care, drawn from results-based, scientifically reproducible treatments and protocols based on science, and not the new, hot drug. Guided by the maxim he learned in Jesuit high school, “say what you know, what you don’t know, and what you believe—and label it accordingly,” Dr. Brawley believes skepticism should be the mainstream. D r. Brawley’s personal history serves as a window into an experienced and passionate view of medicine and the politics of treatment, and How We Do Harm is his wellreasoned manifesto for change. PRAISE

"Sweeping, honest and brave . . . You will finish this arresting book reluctantly, with a new appreciation of what American medicine could be." —Harriet A .Washington, author of Deadly Monopolies "As we discuss the transformation of health care in this country, put Dr. Brawley's book at the top of your list." —Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN "Brawley [shows] that ours is a nation of extremes, with the poor or uninsured frequently denied even the most basic care while the well-insured often are ‘overtreated,’ receiving unproven drugs and procedures that can cause real harm." —USA Today DR. OTIS BRAWLEY, M.D., is the chief medical and scientific officer and executive vice president of the American Cancer Society and serves as professor of hematology, oncology, medicine and epidemiology at Emory University. He is also a CNN medical consultant. PAUL GOLDBERG is an award-winning investigative reporter. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Washington Monthly and he has been featured on 60 Minutes, 20/20, CNN and NPR. Goldberg is also the author of two books on the Soviet human rights movement.

Wren MacAvoy works as a coal miner for a domed city that was constructed in the mid-nineteenth century to protect the royal blood line of England from a comet on a collision course with Earth. But after nearly two hundred years of life beneath the dome, society has become complacent and the coal is running out. Plus there are those who wonder, is there life outside the dome or is the world still consumed by fire? When one of Wren's friends escapes the confines of the dome, he is burned alive and put on display as a warning to those seeking to disrupt the dome’s way of life. But Alex’s final words are haunting, “The sky is blue.” What happens next is a whirlwind of adventure, romance, conspiracy and the struggle to stay alive in a world where nothing is as it seems. Wren unwittingly becomes a catalyst for a revolution that destroys the dome and the only way to survive might be to embrace what the entire society has feared their entire existence.

* National Print Publicity * Online Publicity Campaign * Extensive Social Media Campaign * Online Book Community Outreach * Author Website: www.MartyBeckerman.com

More than fifty years have passed since the death of Ernest Hemingway, history’s ultimate man, and young males today—obsessed with Facebook, Twitter, and Playstation—know nothing about his legendary brand of rugged, alcoholic masculinity. They cannot skin a fish, dominate a battlefield, or transform majestic creatures of the Southern Hemisphere into piano keyboards. The Heming Way demonstrates how modern eunuchs—brainwashed by PETA and Alcoholics Anonymous—can learn from Papa's unparalleled example: drunken, unshaven, meat-devouring, wife-divorcing, and gloriously selfdestructive. Advice includes: How to kill enough animals to render a species endangered—just like Papa! Getting your friends to think drinking a daiquiri is manly . . . just by drinking one nine yourself l Achieving sufficiently high testosterone levels to never have to worry about the chance of having a daughter instead of a son l And much more! l l

Profane, insightful, hilarious and loaded with more than 150 photos, facts and insights about Papa, The Heming Way is a difficult path, and not for the weak, but truth is manlier than fiction. PRAISE

Before he met the young girl who became Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip had a tumultuous upbringing in Greece, France, Nazi Germany, and Britain. His mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, was born deaf; she was committed to a psychiatric clinic when Philip was eight. His father, Prince Andrew of Greece, already traumatized by his exile from his home country, promptly shut up the family home and went off to live with his mistress, effectively leaving his young son an orphan. Remarkably, Philip emerged from his difficult childhood a character of singular vitality and dash—self-confident, opinionated, and devastatingly handsome. Girls fell at his feet, and the princess who would become his wife was smitten from the age of thirteen. Yet alongside his considerable charm and intelligence, the young prince was also prone to volcanic outbursts, which would have profound consequences for his family and the future of the monarchy. In this authoritative and wonderfully compelling book, acclaimed biographer Philip Eade brings to vivid life the storm-tossed early years of one of the most fascinating and mysterious members of the royal family. PRAISE

“After reading this engaging biography of Philip’s early years, it’s easy to see how the future Queen of England fell for him.” —People Magazine “A great read.” —Huffington Post PHILIP EADE has worked as a criminal barrister, English teacher, and journalist.

But midway through the season, a copycat appears off-screen, a real-life killer who is using the same strategy to select victims. When this serial killer crosses paths with the reclusive Thorn, he has no choice but to leave his sanctuary in Key Largo and join forces with a young policewoman from Oklahoma who is investigating the murders. In addition to the show’s head writer, April’s other son, Sawyer’s twin brother, stars in Miami Ops. Could one of them be involved in the killings? Or are they orchestrated by the director of the TV series, an aging mogul who badly needs a hit? And what about the female star of the show, a deliciously strange young woman who seems willing to do anything to promote her career. With both the fast pacing and the lyrical prose for which Hall is renowned, this story pits Thorn against a killer—or killers—whose motives are as elusive as their identities. PRAISE

If Paris is the city of love, then London is the city of lust. For over a thousand years, England's capital has been pulsing with desire, avarice, and the sins of the flesh. As early as the second century AD, London was notorious for its raucous festivities, and throughout the centuries the bawdy side of life has taken easy root. In her accessible style, Catharine Arnold takes us on a tour of London's carnal history from the bath houses of Roman Londinium to the sexual underground of the twentieth century and chronicles a place where buxom strumpets, louche aristocrats, popinjay politicians, and Victorian flagellants all vie for their place in London's league of licentiousness. With latter chapters looking at Victorian London, sexual underground of the twentieth century—with the rise of internet call girls such as the famed “Belle de Jour”—and beyond, this is a fascinating and vibrant chronicle of London at its most raw and ribald.

The Authentic Animal Inside the Odd and Obsessive World of Taxidermy Dave Madden "[An] engagingly offbeat study . . . let's us in on the bizarre and sometimes repellent world of taxidermy." —The Wall Street Journal Why would someone create or own the mounted skin of a dead animal? That’s the question Dave Madden explores in The Authentic Animal. He begins with the life story of Carl Akeley, father of modern taxidermy, who started by stuffing a canary and ended with creating the Akeley Hall of African Mammals at The American Museum of Natural History.

To get a first-hand glimpse at this world, Madden travels to the World Taxidermy Championships, the garage workplaces of people who mount freeze-dried pets for bereaved owners and the classrooms of a taxidermy academy where students stretch deer pelts over foam bases. On his travels he looks at the forms taxidermy takes—hunting trophies, museum dioramas, roadside novelties, pet memorials— and considers what taxidermy has to tell us about human-animal relationships. The Authentic Animal is an entertaining, thought-provoking blend of history, biology and philosophy that will make readers think twice the next time they scoff at a moose head hung lovingly on a wall. PRAISE

“[A] charming account . . . this book muses with verve and wit on the relationships between human and animal, art and artifact, as well as on the collector's obsession.” — Publishers Weekly

DAVE MADDEN is a professor at The University of Alabama. He lives in Tuscaloosa and coedits The Cupboard, a quarterly pamphlet.

The Brain Eater's Bible Sound Advice for the Newly Reanimated Zombie J. D. McGhoul with Pat Kilbane A field manual and manifesto—in the vein of Max Brooks's bestselling The Zombie Survival Guide—for the reanimated dead

* Author Speaking Engagements * National Television Publicity * National Print Review Attention * Online Publicity Campaign * Online Promotion at Tor.com * Social Media Campaign * Author Website: Mythodrone.com

"What is wrong with me?!" That's what you're thinking, isn't it? You woke up in a drainage ditch covered with skin ulcerations and nasty flesh wounds. Your body is numb and your memory is foggy. Someone tried to give you medical attention, but you repaid their kindness by savagely killing them and eating their brains. You are a zombie my friend, just like me. Though most zombies are slow and stupid, the fact that you are reading this tells me that you are different. Some of us are. Welcome to the PACE virus apocalypse. PRAISE

"The Brain Eater's Bible is graphic, gruesome and hilarious . . . the perfect black comedy" —Fangoria Magazine "Sure to delight zombie fans everywhere . . . a volume to be treasured" —John Russo, writer of the original Night of the Living Dead "This is a book, dude, FINALLY for the f**king zombies . . . This is f**king dope, dude" —Kevin Smith, director of Clerks "A fun read and a fine looking collector's piece for any zombie fan" —David Maddox, SFSite.com J.D. MCGHOUL was a Midwestern, working-class lab assistant before being killed and reanimated by a PACE virus infection. Now a zombie author and activist, he divides his time between eating brains and educating the zombie public at large. Being one of a small minority of zombies who have retained their intellect and bodily speed, he recognizes his responsibility to give something back. McGhoul sees it as his mission to teach zombies what they have become, to show them how to hunt and kill, and to encourage them to wear their tattered flesh like a uniform in the war against humanity.

Raised in Dayton, Ohio, PAT KILBAINE earned his bachelor's degree in French from Beloit College before beginning his career as a stand-up comedian.
