THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME(St Martin’s Press, June 2016)

Freshly-graduated Leo Bryce is whip-smart and neurotic as Woody Allen, a young man who has spent most of his life thinking about death. But when he meets beautiful, hilarious actress, Fiona Haeberle, everything changes. After college the young couple move to New York – Fiona to an acting career, Leo to an advocacy group, trying to get inmates off death row – and every day is a thrill.

But when the perfect love affair implodes, everything falls apart. Fiona is gone, but for Leo, she’s still everywhere. In an attempt at distraction, Leo finds himself in the middle of South Georgia, working the strangest case he’s ever known: Michael Tiegs is a death-row inmate and a born-again Christian with a dark past, and he has some wacky cosmic ideas about life and what comes after.

In their different ways, both men are on a collision course with life, and as their relationship grows, Leo begins to wonder what he’s really doing here: whether he’ll ever be able to get Tiegs free, and whether freedom is what this strange philosopher-prisoner even wants.

THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME is told with the razor-sharp insight and precise prose of Ben Lerner or Gabriel Roth. It’s a love story told slantwise, the journey of a cynic turned believer and back, with stops along the way at Hollywood and Death Row. Hannah Pittard, author of REUNION and THE FATES WILL FIND THEIR WAY, says "Dan Cluchey has written a novel both timeless and timely. THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME is a terrifically distilled love story."

AMY FITZHENRYAMY FITZHENRY is a Virginia native currently living in LA and practices law as the in-house counsel for the global

men’s health charity, Movember. Her first novel, COLD FEET, is published by Berkley.

COLD FEET (Berkley, September 2015)

COLD FEET is women’s commercial fiction in the vein of Marian Keyes and Cecilia Ahern, about a bride-to-be having second thoughts, who embarks on a hunt to find her estranged father in the hopes of some answers.

Lawyer Emma Moon has always wondered about her father, who disappeared back to California when Emma was just a baby. Instead of a bachelorette weekend, Emma and best friend Liv decide to go to San Francisco, and track down the man who should be walking Emma down the aisle. But San Francisco turns up many unexpected secrets, including some alarming revelations from an ex-girlfriend of Emma’s fiancé. Emma

needs to untangle the tricky knots of her parents’ hidden, tragic past – but she also needs to untangle some of her own.

COLD FEET was picked as a Popsugar.com Best Book for September 2015. J Courtney Sullivan, New York Times-bestselling author of THE ENGAGEMENTS describes COLD FEET as “a heartwarming and uproariously funny debut” while Marie Claire reviewer Steph Opitz describes it as “funny, incisive, and relatable…[A] smart, big-hearted debut [that] will have you flying through the pages” and Kirkus calls it a “page-turner sprinkled with clever observations about the nature of romantic love.”

MILES KLEE

MILES KLEE is a comedian and performer and the author of the novel IVYLAND (OR Books, 2012), which the Wall Street Journal called “like J.G. Ballard zapped with a thousand volts of electricity.” His writing has

appeared in McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, The Awl, The Collagist, The Huffington Post, The New York Observer, Salon, The Millions, and many other publications, online and off.

TRUE FALSE(OR Books, September 2015)

TRUE FALSE, Klee’s latest, is a whip-smart and bizarrely hilarious story collection. Here, you’ll find stories on Pythagoras, privatized prisons, a bitter shark, Depression-era robbers, a corporate race to produce an artificial version of love, and while one is tempted to say “and everything in between,” it’s hard to imagine what could possibly exist at the intersection of the above-listed. Unless it’s a murderous swimming pool, in which case TRUE FALSE has that, too.

William Gibson, author of PERIPHERAL and NEUROMANCER, says, “Miles Klee demonstrates a delightfully prehensile grasp of the more oblique

peculiarities of sentience. Very highly recommended,” while Matt Bell, author of IN THE HOUSE UPON THE DIRT BETWEEN THE LAKE AND THE WOODS, gets it absolutely right when he says, “Miles Klee’s stories are truly strange but always rooted in the real—and somehow the stranger they get the more real they seem.  Klee often takes the epic weirdness of our age and turns it up even further, seeking what we might become in what we already are, using sharp prose and sharper humor to broadcast our lives back at us bigger than life, so epic now, bigger than we ever dreamed we might become.”

ISAAC MARIONISAAC MARION was born in north-western Washington in 1981 and has lived in and around Seattle his whole life, working a variety of strange jobs like delivering deathbeds to hospice patients and supervising parental visits for foster-kids. His first novel, WARM BODIES, was a New York Times

bestseller and the basis for the hit movie of the same name, produced by Summit Films (“Twilight”), and starring Nicholas Hoult (“Skins,” “X-Men: First Class”) as R and John Malkovich as Julie’s father. Learn more about Isaac at his website: www.isaacmarion.com.

THE NEW HUNGER and THE LIVING (Atria, October 2015 & July 2016)

In THE NEW HUNGER, the novella-length prequel to WARM BODIES, Julie Grigio drives with her parents through the crumbling wastelands of America - a nightmarish family road trip in search of a new home. A few hundred miles away, Nora Greene finds herself the reluctant, terrified guardian of her younger brother when her parents abandon them in the not-quite-empty ruins of Seattle. Meanwhile in the darkness of a forest, a dead man in a red tie opens his eyes. With no memory of who or what he is, he must unravel the grim mystery of his existence - right after he learns how to think, how to walk, and how to satisfy the monster howling in his belly. Two warped families and a lonely monster: unbeknownst to any of them, their paths are set to cross in a startling encounter that will change the course of their lives - or deaths - forever.

In THE LIVING, Isaac Marion continues the story of Julie and R and

their quest to make their world a place worth living in again. Julie may have brought R back to life in a way that nobody thought possible, and it’s true that in the aftermath of their unlikely union, other zombies too seem to at least try to disobey their hunger and remember who they used to be – but that doesn’t mean that their world as a whole is healing; the surviving human enclaves, including the one at Citi Stadium, still find themselves surrounded by enemies. A mysterious group called Animus, a former corporate militia, starts to take hold over the human population, and Julie and R are soon forced to recognize how many out there don’t believe in a reconciliation between the two populations. Instead of a new start, they and Julie’s best friend Nora find themselves thrown in prison and have to stage a dramatic escape – to eventually find out the truth about Animus, and the support they need to continue the fight for a better world.

GREGORY DAVID ROBERTSGREGORY DAVID ROBERTS is the author of the global publishing sensation SHANTARAM, which has

been published in more than three dozen languages and sold close to four million copies worldwide.

THE MOUNTAIN SHADOW(Grove Atlantic, October 2015)

A sequel to SHANTARAM, Gregory David Roberts’ extra-ordinary new novel, THE MOUNTAIN SHADOW, is the result of ten years’ work.

The end of the eighties was the beginning of every-thing. The Berlin wall fell on an empire, and the Taliban took Afghanistan. Lin, on the run after escaping from prison in Australia, working as a passport forger for a Bombay mafia gang, finds himself standing on a tattered corner of a bloody carpet that would soon cover most of the world. But he can’t leave

the Island City: not without Karla.

Two years after the events in SHANTARAM, Bombay is a different world, playing by different rules. Lin’s search for love and faith leads him through secret and violent intrigues to the dangerous truth. A love story told with hope and humor, a personal struggle for redemption, and a philosophical quest for the wisdom of our common humanity, THE MOUNTAIN SHADOW is a sublime novel, and an all-consuming, epic

thriller.

SHE’S LONG GONE(Bloomsbury USA, January 2017)

In the style of Nicole Krauss’s THE HISTORY OF LOVE, with a touch of magical realism reminiscent of Eowyn Ivey’s THE SNOW CHILD, SHE’S LONG GONE is a novel about our urgent need to connect and belong, even as we’re afraid of allowing others into our lives.

Richard Beart is a disgraced schoolteacher who has travelled from Colorado to Paris in order to find out the truth about his mother, the famous novelist Inga Beart. Even though everybody is telling him that Inga abandoned her only son at birth, a sharply etched memory of her striking red shoes sustains Richard’s belief that he did see his mother again when he was a little boy.

Meanwhile his son Neil is embarking on his own journey of discovery: a student in the UK, he’s about to make a long overdue trip to look up a Lithuanian girl, the daughter of an old friend of his father’s, who lives in

Swindon. Magdalena is unlike anybody he’s ever known. Whether it’s her remarkable eyes, her aura of heartbreak, or her charming Eastern European accent – Neil is drawn to her but too awkward to be able to articulate his feelings. Neil’s research trip at the university takes him to Paris for the summer, but he can’t seem to leave Magdalena behind.

And Magdalena – she too is drawn to Neil, but for an entirely different reason, a reason he can’t even begin to understand. Magdalena has a strange ability, or what she would call a curse: she can read a person's past deeds and fate on their skin. Then when she meets Neil, she reads something on him she’s never seen on anyone before: her own name.

When all three stories come full circle, Magdalena’s strange talent may hold not only the key to Neil’s future happiness but also to the secret of Inga Beart’s tragic life.

SOPHIE QUIRE AND THE LAST STORYGUARD (Abrams, January 2016)

SOPHIE QUIRE AND THE LAST STORYGUARD is Jonathan Auxier’s second Peter Nimble Adventure.

Twelve-year-old Sophie Quire knows little beyond the four walls of her father’s bookshop. Sophie works as a bookmender, salvaging damaged books and dreaming of a more exciting life. But when a strange boy and his even stranger enchanted companion show up searching for a rare and mysterious book, she finds herself pulled into an adventure beyond anything she has ever read.

The boy and his companion are, of course, Peter Nimble and Sir Tode, who have been sent on a mission by Professor Cake to track down a very powerful tome known only as The Book of Who. This volume – when

combined with its companions When, Where, and What – gives readers the ability to speak true magic into the world. In an age when magic is being driven under-ground, the need for these books has never been greater.

The Professor has summoned Sophie to collect these four books, which vanished from his own library years ago. Sophie’s reason for embarking on the quest is more personal: The Book

of Who seems to contain information about her own mother, who abandoned Sophie when she was just a young girl. And all too soon, it turns out that Sophie, Peter, and Sir Tode are not the only ones looking for the powerful knowledge hidden within the books…

Family. It’s always been a loaded word for Maude. And when she is given a senior photography assignment—to create a portfolio that shows the meaning of family—she doesn’t quite know where to begin. But she knows one thing: without the story of her birth mother, who died when Maude was born, her project will be incomplete.

So Maude decides to visit her best friend, Treena, at college in Tallahassee, Florida, where Maude’s birth mother once lived. But when Maude arrives, she quickly discovers that Treena has changed. With a new boyfriend and a packed social

calendar, Treena doesn’t seem to have time for Maude—or helping Maude in her search.

Enter Bennett, a cute guy who lives in Treena’s dorm. He understands Maude’s need to find her mother. And as Bennett helps Maude in her search, she starts to find that her mother’s past doesn’t have to define her own future.

In AUTOFOCUS, Lauren Gibaldi has crafted a beautiful and timely coming-of-age story that poses the question: Is who we are determined at birth, or can we change as we grow?

Red loves magic, especially when she watches Granny do it, but somehow when Red does it, it never comes out of her quite right. She grows flowers out of her nose and sets the laundry on fire. When Red injures Granny while attempting magic, she vows to put it away forever.

But then she finds out something terrible: her Granny is dying.

Red resolves to save her by whatever means necessary – even if it means going back to magic. She begins a quest to find one of the three items in the kingdom that can stop death: a red rose; a red spindle; heart magic. Thanks to Red’s ingenuity and the help of a new friend, she will indeed discover all three magical items, although none of them will bring her quite what she expected. Along the way she’ll meet wolves, huntsmen, ogres, trolls and many more – and will learn that while some laws of Nature can’t be trumped, magic can bring salvation in more ways than one.
