One of the qualifications to receive grant money is that the store must
have a childrens section, said Patterson. Theres so much black-andwhite thinking in this country now, and reading gives kids the chance to
look at ideas as being more complicated than that. It was noted that
beyond the money itself, which many recipients used to coordinate more
book events in schools, the free publicity Pattersons generosity activates
brings much needed attention to indies and the communities they serve.
The second round of grants will go to stores like Vromans Bookstore in
Pasadena, Calif., to reinstate its Young Readers League, which encourages
a love of reading in kids in grades 37; Changing Hands in Tempe, Ariz., to
encourage reading at its soon-to-be-opened store in Phoenix; and R.J. Julia
Booksellers in Madison, Conn., to expand its Authors to Schools program
and provide books for students in low-income schools. Other recipients
include Annie Blooms Books in Portland, Ore.; Bank Square Books in
Mystic, Conn.; Watchung Booksellers in Montclair, N.J.; and Green Apple
Books in San Francisco.
A bookseller in the audience asked Patterson a question that seemed to
be on a lot of peoples minds: why arent more authors helping indies out
financially? A lot of authors do a lot of good things already, said Patterson.
Many of them have their own programs. Still, panel moderator Kaplan
urged other authors to jump on the bandwagon.
In choosing how bookstores are selected, Patterson told PW, I have
worked to identify independent stores for whom this money may make a
difference, and stores that were already doing good work. I also received
bookstore recommendations from fellow authors, publishers, friends, and
family. Because I didnt want to miss any great stores, I also put up a link on
my website where independent booksellers and bookstore shoppers can
share their favorite independent bookstores, and over 12,000 people have
done just that.
Patterson might give away another million dollars to indies next year.
Lets make bookstores better, he said to a delighted gathering. Before the
list of new recipients was announced, Patterson pointed to the C-Span cameraman in the back of the room and said to viewers, As soon as this show
ends, I want you to go to an independent bookstore and buy some books.
He received a standing ovation.

e-book for a crowded subway train, but want a print book at home, and many
want one of each, he said. Digital reading hasnt divided along generational
lines, he said, noting that the average age of a print reader is 41 and the average age of an e-book reader is 42; and 75% of students prefer print textbooks.
As it turns out, Carr said, while e-books might very well replace other
formatsmass market paperbacks, for instancethey havent affected
hardcover nonfiction. In fact, theyve brought new readers to books that may
never have bought a book before.
The bad news is that theres a conflict between the culture of the book
and the culture of the computer, he says. Reading produces a trance-like
state, he said, in which we disengage from the busy world, transported from
societythats the power of a print book. Smartphones, on the other hand,
plunge you deeply into the whirlpool of life, not into reflection, he said,
adding that tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google create devices
designed to extract fees and revenue.
Peter Brantley, digital librarian and PW columnist, followed Carr and
offered a presentation focused principally on the issues raised in the first
half of Carrs talk. He noted quickly that the book is not the format, but the
expressions within it, and offered a broad survey of how libraries are using
technology to bring the culture of the book to more people than ever.
Brantley touched on the pervasiveness of public libraries: wherever roads
cross you see a public library, even in the smallest and most remote town in
the U.S. He noted that libraries are planning next generation book festivals while acting as urban data centers.
Former Hachette executive Maja Thomas moderated a high-powered
panel of publishing executives, and they too seemed unconcerned about a
conflict between reading and a device-enabled future. HarperCollinss Josh
Marwell (as well as others) discussed how digital publishing means that publishers must experiment and think and act globally, adding that sometime
in the future, China will be the largest English-speaking country in the
world. Lori Benton noted that teens are reading and switching between
print and digital. Theyre reinventing storytelling, and publishers are finding out what kids like to read and hitting them with more of what they like.
The self-publishing panelfeaturing celebrity self-publishers Bella Andre,
Barbara Freethy, and Hugh Howeytalked about Howeys Authorearnings
.com site, which is mining data on how much money self-publishers are
making. A lot of people are making a living, making six figures a month
and reading, and writing is healthier than its ever been, said Howey. All
the panelists spoke of the growth of POD. The digital self-publishing revolution is coming to print eventually, Andre said, also noting global demand,
the importance of backlist, and the need for very successful self-publishers
to hire their own CEOs or CFOs at a certain point in their development.
Goodreads Otis Chandler talked about the growth of the platform under
Amazon, adding Goodreads to the Kindle platform, and the increase in
mobile book recommendations through the Good Reads app and the power
of social media to elevate the success of a good book. To end the morning
session, Kobos Michael Tamblyn invoked the Amazon/Hachette feud, outlining just how Kobo manages to compete with the ferocious entity whose
name we cant say. Tamblyn outlined Kobos strategy of working with a variety of publishers and retailers in international markets as partners, not as a
distributor. How does Kobo manage to compete? Tamblyn said, Kobo competes with Amazon using the one thing that Amazon doesnt have: friends.

*Quantities limited; while supplies last.
In November of 2012 Herman Wouk, at age 97, spoke to Brooks Barnes of the
New York Times about his newest book, The Law Giver, which had just been
published by Simon & Schuster. But when Wouk utters the names Simon &
Schuster he doesnt necessarily mean the publishing company. Barnes notes
that the author is old enough to remember Simon and Schuster as actual
people, and Wouk opines that they were as different as chalk and cheese.
Perhaps that explains why the first two books published in 1924 were The
Crossword Puzzle Book( Richard L. Simons brainchild) and Will Durants
The Story of Philosophy (Max Lincoln Schusters brainchild). It is this combination of merchandise and serious works of intellectual power that was
so cutting edge and innovative, according to Carolyn K. Reidy, president/
CEO of the publisher today. That breadth has been true of Simon & Schuster
ever since, she continues. Reidy points out that the two founders also came
up with the idea of returns during the Depression, to enable bookstores to
keep ordering, and the idea
of what she refers to as
chatty advertising. In 1930
Essandess, as they liked to
call themselves, launched
From the Inner Sanctum, an
advertising column that ran in
Publishers Weekly and the New
York Times. It dished news
and extolled the virtues of
books coming out of the S&S
meeting room that was known
as the inner sanctum.
Reidy says, Weve come
full circle today, with pubRichard Simon & Max Schuster
lishers eager to communicate directly with readers, albeit in different formats.
Asked if this combination of merchandise and serious
heavy-hitters can be maintained in the digital age,
Reidy states that both will survive, but elucidates
how, with approximately 30% of the reading market
digital, there are differentiations across categories.
She notes that the Duck Commander books are very
big as physical books, while romance titles are highly
digital. Digital is somewhat replacing mass market
publishing, she continues, but using the same tricks Carolyn K. Reidy
and techniques such as introducing authors at lower
price points, starting with genres, and then moving
beyond. Its the same product, the same processes,
but we are reaching readers with new means.
Jonathan Karp, president/publisher of the Simon &
Schuster Publishing group, points out some of the
remarkable examples of longevity. Wouk may be the
leader with a 66 year span, but there are other prominent names who have been with S&S over the
decades: Doris Kearns Goodwin, Bob Woodward,
Jonathan Karp
Mary Higgins Clark, and David McCullough, to name
a handful. Even Hillary Clinton, a most contemporary figure whose new
book is out this June, has an 18-year history with the company.
And then there are the books that never stop selling, from well-known
titles firmly embedded in the literary canon, such as Ray Bradburys
Fahrenheit 451, Joseph Hellers Catch-22, Taylor Branchs Parting the Waters,
and Garry Willss Lincoln at Gettysburg. Karp says, As nonagenarians go,
the publisher is an intellectually vibrant one.
Theres a feisty septuagenarian rocking the house, too. In the late 1930s
Simon, Schuster, and Leon Shimkin, who had joined the company earlier in
the decade, teamed up with Robert Fair de Graff to create the first mass
market publisher in the U.S., and as Louise Burke, president/publisher of
Gallery Books, the unit that includes Pocket Books, says, A revolution was
born. Just as in the 1930s, when distribution was as much a factor in this
revolution as format and pricing, it is again today. Burke readily admits that
the mass market format is changing. Much of what has been the mainstay of
mass market publishingincluding popular fiction and romanceis moving
to digital formats. Burke notes that as mass market provided a second format for authors to reach and grow their fan base, so does digital.
Pockets 75th and S&Ss 90th are being celebrated throughout the year. A
website, A Lasting Imprint. 90 Years of Simon & Schuster (www.simon90.
com), was launched in January. Ninety titles were selected to represent the
S&S library, and there is a consumer contest to win all 90 books. BookCon
goers can enter to win at the Simon & Schuster booth (2639). And a limited
number of tote bagswith bookswill be given away, so its worth it to stop by
and wish a happy anniversary to this venerable publishing dynasty.

Chinas participation in BEA 2015 as the guest of
honor will serve as a great platform for three purposes: First, it enhances mutual understanding
and friendship between the people of the two
countries; second, it promotes economic, science
and technology, and cultural communication
between the two sides and boosts social progress; Vice Minister Wu Shulin looks forward
to Chinas 2015 BEA participation.
third, it expands communication between the two
countries in the publishing industry. Language and books are two major inventions of mankind. They serve as essential tools for the accumulation of knowledge,
wisdom, and experience. By hosting guest of honor activities, we hope to make the
best use of these tools to maximize cultural communication, promote dialogue,
and achieve shared progress and development in the two countries.
PW: What do you expect to learn by participating in the Global Market Forum at
BEA 2015?
Over the past 10 years, the publishing industry in China has undergone the most
intensified reforms and the fastest growth in its history. However, we are highly
aware that compared with the U.S. and other developed countries, China still lags
quite far behind in publishing. A major problem is that the quality of publications
and the benefits they bring are incommensurate to the scale of the industry and
the quantity of publications it offers. The U.S. has a strong foothold in the world
publishing industry. Publishing is done on a very large scale there, and publishers
are conglomerated into large groups specialized in different fields. Many of the
top 10 publishers in the world are from the U.S. The U.S. publishing industry boasts
a mature marketing and operation mechanism, a well-established legal system,
extensive hi-tech application, growth-conducive development strategies, and
innovative and effective professional training policies. All these are what Chinese
publishers should study and learn. BEA is a large and professional expo of books in
English where a wide variety of activities are staged. At such an event, China, as
the guest of honor, should focus cultural exchange and trade. When based on
trade, cultural exchanges will be deeper and more sustainable. In sum, the guest
of honor activities of China at this event are quite important for publishers and
general people of the two countries, as well as bilateral relations.
PW: Could you describe the activities China plans to hold at BEA 2015, either inside
or outside its booths?
We are now making great efforts to draft the overall plan of activities for the event.
As we have done at other international book fairs as the guest of honor, we will
have publishing activities, author activities, and cultural activities. According to
the agreement signed between the two sides, China and the U.S. will hold four
publishing seminars jointly. Various participating Chinese publishing houses will
also have their own seminars, discussions, and forums on different themes, as well
as professional publishing exchanges of other kinds. We intend to invite dozens of
authors to the event, hold dialogues between Chinese and American writers, book
signing events, recitals, etc., to promote exchanges in literature between the two
countries. We may also present several exhibitions and movie shows to boost cultural communication and cooperation.
PW: How many publishing professionals will be at the event (including publishers,
authors, distributors, booksellers, agents, etc.)?
Im not sure how many will be there now. But based on previous experience and
the importance of BEA, I believe quite a large number of Chinese professionals will
be in New York for this event next year, including publishers, authors, booksellers,
distributors, agents, experts, scholars, etc.
PW: How do you select the companies for participation?
All Chinese publishing groups and publishing houses can participate. There will
be no limit. All participating institutions will present their books that cater to the
needs of the international market.
PW: What is the current market trend in China? How big is the market for e-books?
Generally, the Chinese market for printed books is now developing with steady
steps, while the digital publishing market is growing rapidly. In 2012, a total of
414,000 titles were published in China and almost eight billion copies were printed.
Compared with 2011, the number of titles grew by 12.04% (first editions grew by
16.62% and reprints grew by 6.17%), and the number of copies printed grew by
2.85%. The total revenue from publishing, printing, and distribution registered
1,663.53 billion renminbi (RMB), up by 14.2% over the previous year.
Digital publishing has seen new highs one after another in recent years.
Statistics show that in 2012, digital publishing reaped a total of RMB139.549 billion,
40.47% more than the previous year and 11.72% of the total revenue of the press
and publishing industry in China. Digital publishing represents the future of the
publishing industry. Chinese publishing enterprises are encouraged to communicate and cooperate with foreign peers in terms of technology, information, etc., to
jointly promote digital publishing.

A Quartet of Anniversaries
As at shows past, BEA 2014 is an
occasion for childrens publishers
to mark memorable milestones.
Celebrating anniversaries this year
are two companiesDK Publishing
turns 40 and Charlesbridge reaches
the quarter-century markand two
picture books that have become
modern classics: Hershel and the
Hanukkah
Goblins and
Guess How
Much I Love
You, in print for 25 and 20 years,
respectively. Heres a look at publishers plans for commemorating
these events during the show.
DK Publishings 40th anniversary
tagline celebrates 40 Years of
Ideas, and there clearly have been
some good ones conceived over the
decades. DKs origins date to 1974,
when Christopher
Dorling and Peter
Kindersley founded
the company as a
book packager in
London. In 1982, DK
became a publisher
in its own right, and
broke into the childrens market with a
big splash in 1988
with its first titles in
the Eyewitness
series of photographic nonfiction
books. Other highlights of the publishers childrens program were the signings of the DK Star
Wars book publishing contract in 1997
and of the DK LEGO
book publishing contract in 2009. (A fun tidbit about the
second venture: in 2012, the billionth LEGO brick was featured in a
DK LEGO book.)
To tout its anniversary, DK company has developed a yearlong,
online promotional program providing resources for educators and
parents to use DK releases in creative ways, including suggestions
for tying the books into such seasonal themes as summer reading,
back-to-school, and holidays. At
BEA, booksellers can pick up a 40th
anniversary tote bag at the booth
(1529) and enter the DK 40 Years of
Ideas Grand Prize Trip to London
sweepstakes for a chance to win a
three-day, four-night trip to London
for two. The raffle (also featured on
the DK website) is open to booksellers, librarians, and any others who
work in the bookselling industry. In

of the 20th anniversary of Guess

tender bond between parent and
child, featuring watercolors by
Anita Jeram. To commemorate the
anniversary, the publisher is raffling off a Guess How Much I Love
You gift basket, containing child-

well as 20th

chocolate bars.
Due in October is a 20th anniversary edition of the book, which
includes notes from the author and
illustrator. In a 2011 speech at the
National Book Festival, McBratney
praised both Jerams art and the
design of the book, which has been
translated into 53 languages and
sold 28 copies worldwide across
various formats, but credited much
of its success to another factor.
I have to tell you that in my
opinion, the booksellers of
America made this book what it is
today, says the author. And I
dont just mean the initial big
orders from major players in the
business. I include the independent bookshops, who awarded the
book the ABBY in 1995. The best
thing about a book like Guess is
this: I know that somewhere in the
world a mum or dad will reach for a
copy of something Ive written and
read it to the most precious thing
they have in the world. That
thought really pleases me.

Whats Happening on
the High Line
Welcome to the Javits Center and the endlessly
transforming neighborhood of Hells Kitchen/
West Chelsea/ Hudson Yards. Things have
changed considerably since last you donned
your sensible convention shoes. Get thee to the
High Line for a restorative promenade through
Manhattans favorite garden in the sky and
have a look for yourself. Here are just a few
threads in the ongoing narrative of this beautiful and exceptional place.
9:30 AM 10:30 AM
New York Times Bestselling Author
LIDIA BASTIANICH
Signing NONNAS BIRTHDAY SURPRISE with a taste
of her new book NONNA TELL ME A STORY:
LIDIAS EGG-CITING FARM ADVENTURE
Whats New
Step outdoors and youll see a massive construction project unfolding in the new district known as Hudson Yards. It embraces
360 acres, stretching north to 43rd Street
and extending from Eighth Avenue to the
Hudson River, but its beating heart is the rail
yards that wrap around the northern end of
the High Line. Michael Bloomberg called
this patch of real estate, which is twice as big
as Rockefeller Center, Manhattans last
frontier. Look closely, and memorize what
you see. The project will unfold over the next
two decades, but today you can witness a
single, distinct moment in the ancient cycle
of urban reconstruction that has defined
New York City since the Dutch first arrived.
Says Joshua David, co-founder of Friends of
the High Line: You could come back every year over the next 20 years and
each time you came, you would see things entirely differently. The High
Line at the Rail Yards, when it opens later this year, will offer the best platform from which to view all this change. As Rick Darke observes in the new
edition of On the High Line, the elevated park is now this citys greatest
runway through time.
Whats Growing
By the time the nations booksellers storm Manhattan, the gardens of the
High Line will be exploding in color. Plants here, unlike most gardens
around the world, are not trimmed back at the onset of chilly weather in
autumn, but are left to shape-shift and transform throughout the colder
months, when they create a starkly beautiful winter landscape. But in the
spring, the High Line gets a haircut. This years annual Cutback ended on
April 4, and while the grasses, shrubs, and perennials are growing like mad,
you can still clearly see the tracks and sleeper beams in the garden beds, a
reminder that this place was once a busy, working railroad. A few favorites
to look out for: Allium Mt. Everest (in the Chelsea Grasslands), which towers
above the others with its distinctive large, round white globe; Cotinus
Grace smokebush (at 10th Avenue Square), a little tree that grows so wild
and crazy by September that one of the High Line gardeners describes it as
Dr. Seuss-y; and Magnolia macrophylla, bigleaf magnolia (at the Flyover),
a tropical-looking plant, with its elephantine leaves, that looks like it comes
straight from the set of Steven Spielbergs Jurassic Park.
Whats Groovin
An essential feature of the High Line is the public art program run by
Friends of the High Line. As if in anticipation of BEA, this months installation on the 18th Street billboardwhere some of the most transporting
graphic art and photography have appeared since the park opened five
years agois Groovin High, Faith Ringgolds vamp on the 1945 Dizzy
Gillespie hit. Ringgold reworked her 1986 story quilt for the High Line, and
its a gift to us all. The piece exudes happiness and the joy of community; in
its presence you may find yourself unable to resist the urge to start dancing,
particularly as the sinuously gorgeous IAC building, a piece of architecture
with its own irresistible rhythm, beckons nearby. Hey, youre on the High
Line; enjoy yourself.
Annik LaFarge is the author of On the High Line: Exploring Americas Most
Original Urban Park, Revised & Updated Edition, preface by Rick Darke,
published by Thames & Hudson (May). She will guide two walking tours of
the High Line for BEA attendees, on Thursday, 4 p.m., and Friday, 4 p.m.
Register at Thames & Hudson booth (1826). Free, but space is limited to 10
per walk. Walk attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the book.

A Life Revealed
Watching the charismatic actor, Alan
Cumming, on the CBS television show, The
Good Wife, or PBSs Masterpiece Mystery, seeing him in films or on the stage, where hes currently getting raves on Broadway as the emcee
in Cabaret, youd be looking at the picture of
success. But as Cumming reveals in his memoir, Not My Fathers Son (HarperCollins, Oct.),
theres more beneath the surface than you
might surmise. I think people will be surprised by the sheer insanity of the events in my
life and by the bleakness of my childhood in Scotland, he says, adding, and
also how my mom, my brother, and I came out of this horrible situation. Its a
miracle that were all so happy and well-balanced.
Cumming was prompted to reveal his personal story because of what
occurred in the summer of 2010. Hed been asked to appear on a U.K. genealogy show, Who Do You Think You Are, hoping to find out the truth behind the
mysterious death of his maternal grandfather. Coincidentally, the night
before filming started, his older brother came to him with a message from
his father, whom he hadnt seen in 16 years. He told me he was not my real
father, and I was emotionally derailed. But my father was a horrible manI
wanted not to be his son. It was a difficult thing to deal with, so writing the

In Tavis Smileys personal assessment, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is the
greatest American this country has ever produced. The problem is, as we
approach the 50th anniversary of his assassination, Smiley explains, Kings
persona has been too sanitized, sterilized, and lionized. Writing Death of a
King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s Last Year (Little, Brown.
Sept.) is Smileys way to reclaim the legacy of a man he calls a prophet in a
book that allows people to see the civil right leader in all of his complexity.
The book opens on April 4, 1967, when Dr. King gave a speech at the Riverside Church in Manhattan titled, Beyond Vietnam,
in which he called the United States the greatest
purveyor of violence in the world today. A year
later to the day, Dr. King was killed.
Smiley points out that we live in a country with
MLKs name on street signs and libraries, and his
image is on a postage stamp, but during the
last year of his life King was talking
about the triple threat of racism,
poverty, and militarism in America and everyone turned on
him. Even the liberal media
labeled King anti-American, says Smiley.
Its hard to juxtapose how we deify him
now with how he was

demonized then, says Smiley. A Nobel laureate, King went from being Time
magazine Man of the Year to persona non grata, and Smiley says his book
about that tumultuous last year addresses the questions of what being
turned on from all corners did to King as a person and a leader with an idea
of truth he held dear.
Thats the story we dont know about him, says Smiley. In Death of a King,
Smiley portrays a real and very human leader, who suffered from depression, drank, and had affairs. Theres nothing new there, says Smiley. But it
tells the truth all the way around. In Death of a King, Smiley hopes to introduce Americans of all ages to the real Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
When you read the book you will love Martin Luther King even more, he
says. He stood flat-footed in his truth and showed the kind of courage, commitment, and conviction we see lacking in our leaders today.
At bottom, King put the idea of love at the center of our public discoursea love that Smiley translates to mean the equal worth of all living
beings just because they exist. I truly believe that the future of our democracy is inexplicably linked to how seriously we take the legacy of Dr. King,
Smiley says. And that legacy, he continues, is justice for all, service to others, and the love that liberates people.
With rhetoric like that, people often ask if Smiley will run for political
office. His answer: no. Smiley says he likes doing his books and his talk
shows, where he can introduce ideas and even Americans to each other.

ThrillingThriller
After finishing his first novel, The Expats, Chris
Pavone decided he wanted to place his next
thriller, The Accident (Crown, Mar.), in the publishing industry. I wanted to call attention to
the massive [numbers] of people behind every
book. Its not just the editor, [who might be]
played by Jack Nicholson in a movie. There are
young people at their first jobs, and middleaged or old people, perhaps on their last jobs,
who are involved in every book. Then theres
the vast space in between of people whose
careers and livelihoods depend on publishing
books successfully.
Pavone is not daunted by the success of his first novel, which debuted on
the New York Times bestseller list, was optioned for a film, won both Edgar
and Anthony awards, sold in 18 countries, and was highly praised. He tells

for me to write
the second book,
and have a publisher buy it
before it was
entirely written.
And it made it easier for me and my publisher to get The Accident out into
the world without trying to convince people to pay attention to it the way you
do for a first novel.
His latest book features an anonymously submitted manuscript to an
agent that, if published, could wreak political havoc on the U.S.A. and the
CIA, with careers and lives at stake. And like its predecessor, the ending has
a surprise twist. You think you have understood everything thats gone on,
says Pavone, and then one extra thing is revealed at the very end of the book
that makes you realize that you simply had not fully understood the story
until that moment.
The thriller writer spent nearly two decades as a book editor and is quite

As someone who has written two books, I am just a couple of drops, and the
vast sea of Book Expo is really intimidating. Theres so much published by so
many different publishers. Most of the time I dont have to confront that, but
walking into a conference center filled with booksand people buying them
or not buying them, being interested or not interested in themthats just
overwhelming to me now. Its fun, but it makes me feel so lucky that anybody
has ever picked up any of my books when theres obviously so many choices.
Pavone will be at the ABA Bookseller lunch today at the Special Events

Uncovering Family Secrets
The last time Garth Stein was at Book Expo it

The Art of Racing in the Rain, had just hit the

novel, Steinwho once worked for a big Broadway producer whose office was
visited by theater greats Helen Hayes, Patricia Neal, and othersreturned to
a play he had written about a haunted house in South East Washington. After
a few years expanding it into a novel, Trish Todd, his editor at Simon &
Schuster, told him on a visit to New York that there did not seem to be any
people in the story. Im getting to that, Stein recalls telling her. But on the
plane ride back to Seattle, Stein says he knew there was only one thing to do:
throw out the entire 100,000-word manuscript and start again.
If I hadnt done that, I dont think I could have written this book, says
Stein. A Sudden Light (Simon & Schuster, Sept.) opens in the summer of 1990
and is told by 14-year-old Trevor Riddell, whose fatherfacing bankruptcy
and a separation from his motherbrings him to their ancestral home, a
mansion near Puget Sound. Once there, Trevor realizes his father plans to
conspire with his Aunt Serena to put their father, Samuel (who may or may
not have Alzheimers), in a home so they can sell the land for millions.
Theres just one catch: the familys dead patriarch, Elijahor at least some
spirit attached to himis determined to see the estate, built on the spoils of
the familys timber fortune, restored to untamed forest land.
As Trevor explores Riddell House, he starts to uncover secrets and to
understand why his father never talked about his past before. When he
strikes a match on a hidden staircase, Stein says, Trevor is able to see things
that are unseen and become aware that there are different realities.
Theres no dog and no race cars, but Stein says he thinks fans will recognize themes that permeate his fiction. In all my books, its about how we
need to find our path, and we find that path by looking inside us, says Stein.
In A Sudden Light, he adds, the path shows that you can look into multiple
generations, but still find that we are in charge of our destinations.

Jeff Hobbs went to Yale. So did Robert Peace.
Jeff Hobbs went on to write a novel, The
Tourists, that became a national bestseller.
Robert Peace went on to become a teacher, slid
into the drug trade, and was brutally murdered
at 30. In The Short and Tragic Life of Robert
Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark
for the Ivy League but Did Not Survive (Scribner,
Sept.), Hobbs, who was his college roommate
and friend, wrote this compelling and tragic
story of Peace who straddled the world of academia and the world of the street, but succumbed to the vast gap in between.
Hobbss intent, he explains, is not to bloviate
on the failure of the system but rather to lay
bare the reality of opposing insular environments. He says, Often overlooked in the bigger conversation is the stress
under isolation that comes with two opposing archetypes: you cant shed
your roots and you cant go home again. The takeaway that he wants readers to have is that asking for help is not the same thing as showing a sign of
weakness. There is no shame in receiving help. When Hobbs talks about college as a unique time when one is surrounded by truly intelligent people,
peers, professors, and others whose job is to help you, the heartbreak in his
voice is palpable. There is no doubt that the book, as the author claims,
comes from a place of passion.
We all know people, Hobbs says, who because of intellect or charisma or
stature in the workplace are deemed to be inoculated against frailties. In
Peaces case, Hobbs explains, this notion was exacerbated by the thought
that people from his worldthe streets of Newarkwere not equipped to
give him advice because he went to Yale, while folks from Yale were not able
to give him advice because he grew up in Newark.
He began the book with trepidation for a couple of reasons. Faculty from
Yale cautioned him that a white guy telling the story of poor black people is
not comfortable, he recalls. Moreover, I wasnt confident or sure that anyone would care, relate to, or be interested in the murder of an anonymous
drug dealer. Yet he was determined to assert that Peaces life is so much
more important than his death. So he forged ahead and found that he was
received generously from those in Newark who knew Peace: his friends, his
mother and father, his dealers, and more. He attributes his warm reception
to the commonality of caring about Rob.
You can meet Hobbs today at the Adult Buzz Authors panel, 1011 a.m., on
the Downtown Stage.

M.O. Walsh
Blue Skies Ahead
Louisiana writer M.O. Walsh (known as Neal)
wonders whether the Buzz Books editors were
confused or had a head injury when they
picked his debut novel (My Sunshine Away,
Putnam/Amy Einhorn Books, Jan. 2015) to be a
BEA Buzz Book. Im still just waiting for the
call telling me it was all a huge mistake. There
are so many books out there. I just got really
lucky with this one.
The book, set in Baton Rouge, spans 20 years
in the life of a young man who looks back on
events from his youth as he tries to make peace
with what happened to the girl he loved, who was raped, a crime that went
unpunished. The narrator is a suspect, and the book is confessional in a
way, says Walsh. The title is borrowed from You Are My Sunshine, the
Louisiana state song.
A veteran writer of short stories, Walsh describes writing full-length fiction
as totally different. The main thing was having absolutely no idea what I was
doing. Figuring out plot stuff, that something you say on page 20 is important
on page 280, I wasnt used to that. His life also changed during the seven
years he worked on the novel, including becoming a father twice over, and
having to be the same person in his writing over a long stretch was a new
kind of challenge.
Walsh says he didnt write the book with big thematic goals in mind: I just
hoped that people would read from one page to the next without leaving
me. Still, he does believe that the story could confirm to some readers that
theres love and goodness in bad and horrible situations.
I went for years and years without having input about my work from anyone, and I came to like that a lot, he says. Getting an agent to want to represent the book was really good. And then an editor wanted it, and that felt
good. It still feels good. Looking back and seeing that the book was as good as
I could do, that I gave it my fullest effort, that felt good, too. I want to do it
again.
Walshs day job is director of the M.F.A. writing program at the University
of New Orleans, a place full of talented writers. I expect to see some of them
on the Buzz Panel some day, he says.
A limited number of ARCs will be handed out at the Adult Books Buzz
Panel this morning, 1011 a.m., at the Downtown Stage. Suzanne Mantell

Annie Barrows
More Magic up Her Sleeve
After meeting in the past in 2007s The Magic
Half, Miri and Molly land safely in the presentbut not for long. In the sequel, Magic in the
Mix (Bloomsbury, Sept.), Annie Barrows again
whisks the girls back to an earlier erathis
time the Civil War, where they must race
against the clock to save two unusual soldiers
and come to terms with Mollys real past. The
novel has an initial print run of 75,000 copies.
Writing a follow-up to her 2007 middle-grade
novel was on Barrowss mind for some time
more or less. The idea of a sequel was percolating for a while, but at the same time I didnt
think that there was another book coming, she
muses. I got many letters from readers asking
about a sequel, and I kept thinking, Theres isnt one here. And then about
two years ago, I suddenly had a visual image, which is a pretty rare way for
me to start a story.

That mental pictureof Miri and Molly realizing that the magic has
returned to their livesdrew Barrows in. This image wouldnt leave my
brain, she said. It was as though they were looking at me saying, Weve got
to do something about this magicits back. It was as though all three of us
were in the same boat. And because I love these characters so much, I was on
board.
Barrows, who also writes the younger Ivy + Bean series for Chronicle,
enjoys spending time in both worlds with their very different protagonists.
Ivy is my Dionysian character, who lights the world on fire, she says. Molly
and Miri are a bit more mature, and most of the action in the magic books
involves the girls puzzling out solutionstheir issues are bigger, and more
thoughtful. Ivy and Bean also think their way out of their troubles, but their
dilemmas are funnier and simpler.
Its been a few years since California native Barrows has attended BEA,
and booksellers will have several chances to welcome her back. Today, 10:30
11:30 a.m., shell autograph galleys of Magic in the Mix at a ticketed signing at
Table 3 in the Autographing Area. And tomorrow, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m.,
Barrows will join illustrator Sophie Blackall at the Chronicle booth (2827) to
sign finished books and posters promoting Ivy + Bean Take the Case, due out
in paperback in August.
Though she shares some light concerns about her visit to Javits (How am I
going to get a taxi cab? Where am I going to eat?), Barrows enjoys BEAs sizzling atmosphere. Its like a state fairbut with just book people, she

Tracy Letts
Theatre Noir
A small newspaper item about a murderous
family in Florida sparked Tracy Lettss distinguished playwriting career when he was only
26. Some of the family members were plotting
to kill a member of their family, only to change
their minds and decide to kill another member
of the family. We can understand someone getting their blood up to kill somebodybut to
then change your mind about the person youre
going to kill, somebody not too troubled by
notions of morality who could make a switch
like that, that was the jumping-off point for
me. That first play, Killer Joe, to be published next month by the Theatre
Communications Group, or TCG, features a dysfunctional Texas family
where a debt-burdened character plots to hire a killer to off his mother so he
can get a portion of the insurance money to pay off his debt.
The production gained more traction than the first-time playwright
expected. He tells Show Daily, I thought, Were going to perform it in
Chicago, and its going to run for four weeks, and that will be that, and I hope
I get a second production some day. It went on to be performed around the
world in 15 countries in 12 languages, and was also made into a film in 2011,
starring Matthew McConaughey, in which Letts wrote the screenplay.
Letts, the only Pulitzer Prize winner (for August: Osage County in 2008) to
win a Tony award (for his performance in the 2013 revival of Whos Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?), loves working in both the writing and acting worlds. Im constantly switching back and forth from one to the other, which keeps it all very
fresh to me. I never get tired of my job. He is also very modest about his awards.
Ive worked hard at both for a long time, so the fact that Ive been acknowledged for those things is very gratifying. At the same time, I view awards as
encouragements: Hey, youre doing a good job; keep up the good work!
This is the actor and playwrights first time at Book Expo. I always breathe
a little easier when Im surrounded by book lovers, he says. I love books
myself, and I love people who love to read.
Letts will be signing copies of his play at the TCG booth (1104a) tomorrow,
12 p.m. Make sure to stop by the TCG booth during the first two days of the
convention to enter a raffle by 2 p.m. on Friday, when two winners will be chosen to each get a pair of tickets to that nights Broadway performance of The
Realistic Joneses starring. Letts, along with Toni Collette, Michael C. Hall,
and Marisa Tomei. Winners must be present at the time of the raffle to claim
the prize.

She researched silent films for her book and discovered some disheartening statistics. Nearly 80% of the silent films made in this countryin fact

Wondering On
Wonder, R.J. Palacios 2012
debut novel about Auggie, a
fifth-grade boy born with a
facial deformity whos attending mainstream school for the
first time, made a critical and
commercial splash. The novel
received multiple starred
reviews and spots on best of
lists, has spent 108 weeks on
the New York Times bestseller
list, and has sold more than
one million copies for Knopf. Palacio has written two companion books: 365
Days of Wonder: Mr. Brownes Book of Precepts (Knopf, Aug.), which compiles
principles to live by inspired by those the English teacher in Wonder offers
his students as writing prompts, and an e-original released earlier this
month, The Julian Chapter: A Wonder Story, focusing on Wonders bullying
antagonist.
The author reports that readers response to Mr. Brownes penchant for
precepts led to 365 Days of Wonder, which will have a 350,000-copy first printing. I got such a tremendous amount of feedback from teachers, librarians,
and parents, who really embraced the notion of Mr. Brownes use of inspirational quotes, Palacio says. And I have bags and bags full of completely
unsolicited, original precepts that readers sent me. So given that interest, I
decided there was a book in this.
Palacio augmented her pool of quotes for the book with a two-week Twitter
contest last December, which garnered more than 1,200 precepts from fans.
Seventy-five of those submissions are included in 365 Days of Wonder, which
also features words of wisdom from such notables as Confucius, Anne Frank,
and Nelson Mandela.
I received so many quotes that really resonated with me, says Palacio.
So many books of motivational or inspirational quotes have a certain snarkiness to them, since adults impressions of life can be jaded. The precepts in
this book are very positive and emphasize the themes of kindness, strength
of character, and doing good in the worldthemes that parents want to
impart to their children.
In The Julian Chapter, Palacio sheds light onand gives voice toAuggies
nemesis. Julian was vilified by many readers of Wonder, and I wanted to
explore his backstory in a parallel narrative that definitely intersects with
Wonders story, she notes. We definitely get to know Julian a lot better. I
think its very important to figure out what motivates bullies to act the way
they do. With understanding comes compassion.
Palacio has attended BEAn ABAfor 25 years, in a variety of roles: first
as creative director of Henry Holt, then as an editor at Workman, and now as
both Workmans editor-at-large and childrens author. I literally have two
badges, and will dash from pitching books at the Workman booth to signing
at the Random House booth, she says. I love being on both ends of publishing and hanging out with all my publishing friends at BEA. I feel as though
this is where I grew up.
Booksellers and other fans will find Palacio signing blads of 365 Days of
Wonder at the Random House booth (2839) this afternoon at 3 p.m.

Most folks believe the Statue of Liberty
was a gift from France to the United
States, but Elizabeth Mitchell, in pursuit of researching another topic, came
across some diaries of sculptor
Frdric August Bartholdi and learned
the true story behind the statues creation. She tells Show Daily, He originally pitched the idea to Egypt for the
Suez Canal. The deal fell through, and
he needed to find a new place to purchase the statue, so Bartholdi came
here not really enamored of America,
but thought this was a place that might
go for a project that would be grandiose. In Libertys Torch: The Great
Adventure to Build the Statue of Liberty
(Atlantic Monthly, July) the author
traces the circuitous route of one of our
most famous American icons from its
creative origins in a story packed with
colorful characters and convoluted
behind-the-scenes machinations.
edward smith
One of the unknown facts the author came across was Bartholdis interest
in making an arrangement for the statue with Vaux and Olmstead, who were
designing Central Park. She notes, At that point the tallest building projected [near the park] was the Dakota, and the big toe of the Statue of
Libertyon its pedestalwould have been at the height of the Dakota, so you
can imagine how freakish it would have been there.
Another detail was the sculptors subterfuge in getting Lady Liberty made.
Mitchell explains, He convinced the French that the Americans really
wanted it, and convinced the Americans that the French were all set to build
it, but in fact when he came over here only a handful of men were even aware
that he wanted to make this statue. The author goes on, There was this one
moment when the statue was completed, standing in the streets in France,
about to be shipped to America, but nothing had been done to finance the
pedestal. It basically was homeless, and thats where Joseph Pulitzer
stepped in.
Pulitzer, whod recently purchased the nearly defunct New York World,
promised to publish the names of any person who contributed to the statues
pedestal, even if it was just a penny. People donated money just to see their
names in the paper, so he rapidly built up circulation to the point where,
within eight months, rival newspapers were taking ads out in his paper to
sell their papers.
Commenting on her first trip to BEA, Mitchell says, I volunteer to get
books to schools that dont have libraries. Kids are crazy for booksthey
jump up and down when you give them a book. Its nice to see the industry
has these moments to celebrate the fact that books are going to live on. The
author signs galleys of her book today at the Grove/Atlantic booth (1321) at 3
p.m.

Jane Lynch
Adds Another Credit to Her Rsum
Jane Lynch has displayed her diverse talents
on a number of stages. Shes won Emmy and
Golden Globe Awards for her performance in
Glee and reveals her quick wit as host of
Hollywood Game Night. Shes also a singer,
playwright, and author of a memoir, Happy
Accidents (Voice, 2011). At BEA, Lynch steps
into yet another role: that of childrens book
author. Her debut picture book, Marlene,
Marlene, Queen of Mean (Random House,
Sept.), co-written with clinical psychologist
Lara Embry and former childrens book editor
A.E. Mikesell, is illustrated by Tricia Tusa.
The story introduces a mean girl who rules
the school until a classmate finally stands up to
her. Lara, Elizabeth, and I all admitted to each
other that at different times in our lives weve all done some bullying and
have been recipients of it, say Lynch of the inspiration for the story line.
There are so many awful things kids have to deal with on both sides of the
coin, and we wanted to explore these experiences through a character who
is a bright light with great potentialshe is a real individual and will probably lead a corporation one daybut has bad social skills.
The three-way writing collaboration worked quite well, according to
Lynch. Marlenes voice came to us quite easily, as did the story, since we all
agreed about everything, Lynch reports. I think the book came together
well because it came from an honest place within ourselves.
And, not surprisingly given Lynchs curriculum vitae, theres a good deal of
humor in Marlene, Marlene, Queen of Mean. That was our impulse from the
start, says Lynch. We wanted to make kids laugh while absorbing what the
story was saying. Lara and Elizabeth brought a lot to the book. They are a lot
smarter than I am, but Im a lot tallerand I provided the funny. And Tusa,
Lynch adds, did a great job with her cute and funny illustrations. We wanted
Marlene to be a real individual, and comfortable in her own body. In the
books pictures, she comes across perfectly.
Lynch is adjusting quite easily to her persona of childrens book author. It
isnt something that I had on my bucket list, but I dont really plan everything
I do in my life, she says. I kind of stumble upon whatever it is Im supposed
to do next. Im used to wearing a lot of hatsin fact, I change hats a couple of
times a day. I like using different parts of my brain and skill sets.
Lynch will sign prints featuring art from Marlene, Marlene, Queen of Mean
today, 12 p.m., in the Random House booth (2839).

THE COOKBOOKS
A 4 book series of

publishing through 2016
so Im usually traveling this time of year because the playoffs are going on.
This year, neither New York team made the playoffs and Aratons schedule
wasnt so hectic, so hes here at Javits (though next week hes traveling again
to cover the NBA finals).
In Cold Type, Araton shifts focus from sports to journalism (oh, he also
teaches journalism at Montclair State University). Set in the early 1990s at the
fictional New York City Trib, the story has staffers wrestling with both the technology of computerized typesetting, new to many daily papers, called cold
type and a newspaper workers strike. Its all just bad timing for Trib
reporter Jamie Kramer, whos already struggling with a troubled marriage
and the urge to escape the shadow of his father, a hardcore Jewish shop steward in an Irish-dominated union.
Although Cold Type is Aratons third book in three years (after When The
Garden Was Eden and Driving Mr. Yogi) he started work on it years ago. It
was an idea that came out of a newspaper strike Id been involved in in the
90s, and coincided with the birth of my first son and the death of my father.
But when you are trying to earn a living, certain things come first. I even took
a five-month sabbatical from the New York Times, but [even then] I had to put
it down. It wasnt until someone said, Youre not getting any younger, that I
went back and finally did it.
Araton anticipates being like a wide-eyed kid at BEA, in the company of
many great writers and publishers. He credits Cinco Puntos publisher and
editor-in-chief Lee Byrd with helping him shape the manuscript. Though
Ive spent 35 years as a journalist, working with a small press gave me an
opportunity to learn and grow as a novelist. Im really proud of this book not
only because working with Lee has helped me tremendously, but also
because I didnt let it go because of other circumstances.

Blessed and Betrayed
With more than 25 books under her belt since
her debut novel, Wherever Mary Went, was published in 1993, Lisa Scottoline is a veritable
book-writing machine. Her eighth stand-alone
thriller, Keep Quiet, was published in April, and
the 13th novel in her Rosato & Associates legal
thriller series, Betrayed, will be published in
November. In between these two fiction
releases is nonfiction: Scottolines fifth collection of humorous essays, Have a Nice Guilt Trip,
co-written with her daughter, Francesca
Serritella, will be released in July. And shes
currently writing her next stand-alone novel,
scheduled for an April 2015 release.
Now that my daughter doesnt live at home,
I have a lot more free time, Scottoline confesses. Serritella, who is in her mid-20s, recently moved to New York City, 90
miles from the family home outside of Philadelphia. The two have written a

weekly column together for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chick Wit, for the
past five years; some of those columns are included in the collections theyve
co-written.
Although she regularly switches between genres in her nonstop writing
schedule, her writings are very much connected, Scottoline insists. Im
writing about the true lives of women, whether Im writing about women in
real life or in fiction, she explains. Everything is everything. Its womens
voices talking about the stuff of real life. Betrayed is a case in point: the
story revolves around Rosato & Associates attorney Judy Carrier, who feels
left behind both personally and professionally, now that her best friend,
Mary DiNunzio, has made partner at the firm and is getting married. A
beloved aunts breast cancer diagnosis leads Carrier to her side, but also
results in her investigating the mysterious death of her aunts friendand,
in the process, unearthing family secrets that some would prefer remain
buried.
Scottoline describes her Rosato & Associates series as crime novels with
subplots about her characters families; in contrast, her stand-alone novels
are family stories with a crime subplot, and the essays are humorous memoirs about her own family. Humor is, in fact, the thread that runs throughout
all of her work: Im writing about smart women. Theyre always going to say
something clever and funny, she says, which raises our expectations that
Scottoline herself will be clever and funny during her presentation at todays
book and author breakfast.
While this is not Scottolines first BEA, which she calls Bookapalooza,
it is her debut as a breakfast speaker. Shes a little nervous, she admits,
and jokes that she half-expects Serritella to show up and heckle her from
the audience. And, she says, she knows that she will run into, as she invariably does at BEA, the agent who sent her a rejection letter 25 years ago,
telling her that he wasnt looking for new clients, and if he was, he wouldnt
consider her. Yeah, Im bitter, she says, but Im Italian. Ill pretend not to
see him. Im so blessed, so happy to be doing what I am doing.

bly intend their home to be mobile, the author discloses that in Egg & Spoon,
Baba Yagas house goes on its own walkabout and has its own story line,
because, he adds, the house has its own ambitions.
Best known for his bestselling 1995 novel for adults, Wicked: The Life and
Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (which was made into a popular
Broadway musical that has packed theaters for more than a decade),
Maguire laughs as he admits that hes obsessed with witches. He suspects
that his fascination with powerful women who live a little off the beaten
track and dont care about conforming to anybody elses sense of style, or
beauty extends back to his childhood in Albany, N.Y., when he attended a
Catholic elementary school. He greatly admired the nuns who were his
teachers there, he says. They were omnipresent, swathed in black, and possessed a sense of justice that was hard to understand, but impossible to
argue with.
Maguire is autographing ARCs of Egg & Spoon at a ticketed signing this
afternoon, 3:304:30 p.m., at Table 5 in the Autographing Area.

MacVeagh
Club Set
You wouldnt think someone from old money,
who boarded at Groton and went to Harvard,
would drop out from that life and work as a busboy, schoolteacher, carpenter, caterer, journalist, and now a computer programmer for New
York City. Yet Lincoln MacVeagh hasnt
entirely forgotten the world he left behind, and
his first novel, Paisley Mischief(February Books,
June) is, as he puts, it a tightly packed farce
that looks at the moneyed world of a private
mens club with humor and affection.
He tells Show Daily: I wanted to write a comedy about money. I think its
one of the few taboos left, and its an important subject. The decisions people
make about money are really philosophical choices that affect lots of things.
After traveling the world and going from job to job, MacVeagh returned to
New York City 10 years ago and caught up with his college and high school
friends, who, he says, had moved into the places they always expected to
be. He ended up visiting the Racquet Club on Park Avenue (formally known
as the Racquet and Tennis Club) as a guestscores of timesand was both
amused and intrigued by what he found. Its sort of a bell jar, a perfectly
sealed world. One of the interesting things about it is that no transaction
involves cash. Once you step inside the club, everything is paid for by a chit,
which are little pieces of paper that people sign, so theres the pretense that
money doesnt matter.
His novel, revolving around the attempt of a brash Hollywood producer to
join the fictional Avenue Club, gives readers an inside view of what its like to
be a member of such an elite establishment. Once you get inside that
world, he says, it tends to be like every other world. The people in the book
are goofy and comic in many respects, but theyre also likable, and normal
theyre not caricatures. The purpose of my novel is to take the veil away, and
what you see in the end is that fat middle-aged men in the club are just like
fat middle-aged men everywhere.
MacVeagh originally self-published his novel; then one of this friends
brought it to February Books, which snapped it up. I handed my book out to
my family and friends when I did the vanity press, but I really am excited at
the chance to get reactions from people who dont know me and are looking
at it for the first time without rose-colored glasses on. To me its the first real
test. The author laughs, and then adds, As for Book Expo, I intend to eat up
the whole place.

Sugar Advisories
Munching on a healthy muffin or drinking a
skinny latte while reading this article? Might want
to reconsider that breakfast choice if youre trying to
shed a few pounds. Celebrity nutritionist JJ Virgin,
author of the New York Times bestseller The Virgin
Diet, is back with JJ Virgins Sugar Impact Diet
(Grand Central, Nov.), a new program that targets
the single biggest needle mover when it comes to
that often immovable number on your scale: sugar.
That means not simply cutting out or cutting back on
sugar; it means learning how to cut out the right kind of sugar. What people
still dont get, says Virgin, a board certified nutrition specialist whose A-list
clients include Nicole Eggert, Gene Simmons, Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, and Superman Returns star Brandon Routh, is that honey and agave
are still sugar and all that sugar ends up in the same place. If you cant store
it in your muscles for energy, its stored as fat. So a high sugar diet is really a
high fat diet. Another challenge for anyone trying to lose weight is that
were eating hidden sugar in things like pizza and salad dressing. Its
important to learn how to read a label, as there are over 50 words that can
be substituted for sugarfruit juice concentrate, dried fruitwhenever it
says syrup or glazed, its all sugar.
Complete with recipes, grocery lists, meal plans and survival strategies if
youre having a sugar attack, JJ Virgins Sugar Impact Diet introduces readers to the concept of sugar impact: how different sugars react differently in

crashes, and inflammation, while low sugar impact foods give you energy
and promote fat burning. The book reveals the seven most damaging sugars
(grains, roots, packaged fruits, no-fat and low-fat dairy and diet foods, sugary drinks, dressings and condiments, and sweeteners) and explains how

Headlines Headliners
For the past eight years, in an annual demonstration of generosity, Headline Books has hosted not only its own authors at BEA
but also an array of Next Generation Indie Book Award winners
or finalists who are independently published authors. Says president Cathy Teets, We give people who have never been to BEA
tips and helpful hints about how to make the best out of the
show. Its an ongoing marketing lesson for them. Ive been able
to help the ones that need it with media, show prep, and I do a
webinar with Moms Choice Awards called, How to have a Rock Star
Autographing Session.
This year, of the 24 authors featured at the booth (2368), half are Headlines
own, the other 12 are 2012 or 2013 Indie Book Award winners or finalists.
Today, BEA attendees have a treat if they stop by the Headline Books booth:
they can meet, among others, rags-to-riches singer Landau Eugene Murphy
Jr. signing his book, Americas Got Talent Winner Landau Eugene Murphy,
Jr: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star (Headline, 2013). Murphy, a high
school dropout who was down on his luck as an adult and washing cars for a
living, skyrocketed to fame after singing Frank Sinatrastyle songs on the
show. With three albums under his belt (his latest will be released later this
year), Murphy has achieved his dream of being a professional singer. You
might also get a chance to hear him sing tomorrow night at 54 Below, a
Broadway supper club, at 11 p.m.
Murphys coauthor, Rick Robinson, is here as well, with a sampling of his
own political thriller The Advance Man (Sept.), from the popular series that
features politico Richard Thompson.
The award-winning author, with a
30-year background in politics and
law, must have a crystal ball because
in his latest book circumstances
ratchet up the tension between the
United States and Russia.
Another inspirational story comes
from Steven Dupin (aka Stevie D), a
smalltown Kentucky-born white
trash hillbilly, as he calls himself,
whose career as a comedian, writer,
and producer was taking off big-time
when he was diagnosed with prostate
cancer at the age of 42. His book, The
Trans Am Diaries: A Hillbillys Road
Trip from Stand Up Comedy to
Cancer... and Back Again (Apr.), is
both hilarious and poignant, as he
describes his humble background,

his harrowing struggles with a lifethreatening disease, and his life as

You couldnt find a more optimistic person than David Caron, owner and
co-publisher of ECW Press, when it comes to the future of the publishing
industry, and he is very proud of the company hes been with
for 10 years. Started 40 years ago by Jack David and Robert
Lecker, ECW began as a journal that published essays about
Canadian writers. Caron notes, There was an emerging new
canon of Canadian writers that didnt have that body of critical
analysis that earlier authors had, so this was filling that void.
It was a natural step for writers connected to the journal to
offer their manuscripts to Jack David for publication; ECW
Press was incorporated, and the transition was made three
years later to a publishing house. Some of the early writers on
its list included Hugh Hood, Leon Rooke, and Eric Ormsby.
Show Daily wanted to know if ECW Press has a particular
area of expertise. Caron says, For us its about passion for
what were publishing. The editors that we have acquire
books in subjects they know about, so we have nine or 10 different areas that we consistently publish in.
Although the company first started publishing fiction, it
quickly moved into creating series about Canadian authors
and their works. In the early years of the press, we did major
series as academic and reference materials, so libraries were
an important market for us for a good 15 years, says Caron.
When funding for libraries started to decline, both in Canada and the U.S.,
that was something we had to wrestle with, so we went after the trade market and became more of an international publisher.
Jack David was quite prescient when he first started signing authors,
because he included a clause in the contract for digital rights. Caron says,
Jack had an understanding about the electronic side of things, even it if it
was just microfiche. From early on a lot of our nonfiction material was available digitally through EBSCO.
ECW Press will formally celebrate its 40th anniversary at the end of October
in Toronto under the sponsorship of the annual International Festival of
Authors. The company is also putting together a festschrift of remembrances
over the last four decades from authors and people involved with the press.
At the Legato Publishers Group booth (1329), ECW will be giving away limited edition posters tied in with Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words (Sept.), a
collection of conversations between musician/journalist Malka Marom and
her close friend, Joni; ARCs of Catherine Gildiners Coming Ashore (Oct.),
the third book in her series of memoirs; and today, author Arjun Basu signs
copies of Waiting for the Man (Apr.) at 1:30 p.m. Hilary S. Kayle
Waffling Workman
In need of a sugary afternoon pick-me-up? Today, 34 p.m., Dan Shumski,
author of Will It Waffle? 53 Irresistible and Unexpected Recipes to Make in a
Waffle Iron (Workman Sept.), will be serving up platters of Waffled Pineapple
Dusted with Chili Powder and Waffled Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies at
the Workman booth (839/939). Tomorrow, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m., hell be preparing a savory lunch-time treat of zucchini parmesan flattened fritters. And
while youre munching on those waffled cookies or fritters, dont forget to
drop off your business card for a chance to win your
very own Chefs Choice Waffle Maker.
Creator of Waffleizer.com, the popular all-thingswaffled blog, Shumski believes you can cook up just
about anything in a waffle iron. And he means anything: calamari salad, bibimbap, softshell crab, even
ice cream sandwiches. Waffled bacon, he promises,
will be perfectly crisp with nary a burned edge and
leave behind just the right amount of fat to waffle
some eggs. Pressed Potato and Cheese Pierogi and
Waffled Meatballs will end up with dimples just right
for trapping a sauce. And a waffle iron will turn leftover mac n cheese into Revitalized Macaroni and Cheese, a decadent version of a grilled cheese sandwich with a golden, buttery, slightly crisp exterior and soft, melty, cheesy interior.
Shumski, a writer and editor whos written for the Washington Post, Chicago
Tribune, and Los Angeles Times, began his love affair with waffle irons after
purchasing a Kenmore circa 1985, which he nicknamed Sparky. His passion
for the waffle iron (he is now the proud owner of six) has sent him on a mission to give this most underutilizedand often never even usedkitchen
appliance some well-deserved respect. The 53 recipes in Will It Waffle? will,
according to Shumski, show even a novice cook how to serve up a tasty and
budget-friendly meal thats guaranteed to impress and entertain your dinner guests and even your kids.

that fit in with the overall Shambhala
mission to be as conscious about
our living as we can be. Home Grown,
he points out, is about a family that
lives completely off the grid, and
the cookbooks are as much about
compelling narratives as they are
about food.
Bercholz is proud of what has
become the Roost aesthetic, gorgeous books about lifestyle topics,
which she thinks dovetails nicely
with Shambhalas more spiritual,
philosophical, and esoteric titles.
