ELDERS Mcilvain, Ryan Publication Date: Spring 2013 Status: Awaiting manuscript

Fiction Hogarth Rights: World English

Two young Mormon men, new companions, are on their mission to Brazil: Elder McLeod, the outspoken American nearing the end of his assignment, who questions his faith and purpose, and why neither have yet rooted within him; and Elder Passos, his Brazilian zone leader and superior, a Mormon convert who found salvation in the church after his mother's early death. Both men are tolerant but suspicious of each other's behavior. During a long day of knocking on unanswered doors, they meet a young married woman receptive to their proselytizing: Josefina, who acknowledges the missionaries' efforts, struggles with her own faith, and wishes with her husband to join the church. But soon enough the elders' frequent teaching visits to Josefina's home begin to complicate the relationship between her and her husband, between the elders themselves, and inevitably, between Josefina and McLeod. A novel about the problems and consolations of faith, ELDERS shows two young lives at a moment of painful, uncertain transition. How to navigate the sometimes conflicting demands of the intellect and the heart? How to reconcile worldly ambition with hope for heaven? How to live, in short, a graceful life? The novel explores these questions in the heartfelt, unsparing way of an author with deep knowledge, and deep if complicated affection, for his characters. Ryan McIlvain is a sixth-generation Mormon whose experiences with his faith, like Elder McLeod's, have been tidal, ever shifting. A section of this novel which appeared in The Paris Review earned honorable mentions in The Best American Short Stories 2009.

David and Jo Henniger, a rich but unhappy British couple, accept the invitation of their gay friends Richard and Dally to attend their annual weekend bacchanal at their home deep in the Moroccan desert - a Kasbah they have renovated into a luxurious retreat. On the way they stop and bad-tempered David is drinking too much wine during their lunch. Back on the road darkness has descended and the directions to the Kasbah are vague. Suddenly two young men appear from the roadside and panicked David hits one of the two leaving one dead on the road and the other running into the hills. When David and Jo arrive with the dead body of the young man in their car, the stage is set for a weekend during which they must come to terms with David's misdeed, Jo's longings and their own deteriorating relationship, and the flamboyant Richard and Dally must attempt to keep their guests entertained despite increasing tensions from their staff and the Moroccan Berber father who comes to claim his son's body.

"The Kissing List is alternately ferocious, light-footed, sharp and mordant; Stephanie Reents proves herself to be a writer of terrific grace and power." - Lauren Groff, author of The Monsters of Templeton A bold, inventive, and slyly witty work of debut fiction about life and love in your twenties. Think of THE KISSING LIST as Melissa Bank's The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing for the twenty first century. Like Bank, Reents writes insightfully about a time in life that we all can relate to, with cutting humor and surprising depth, but her sensibility and contemporary characters are completely her own. When Sylvie moves to New York at the age of twenty-three, all she can think about is kissing. Who is kissing whom, she wonders, and are they doing more than kissing, and when she meets the right guy, is a kiss just a kiss, or could it lead to something more? As Sylvie and her friends navigate the treacherous world of their twenties, more men are added to their kissing lists - the porn star, the pseudo-intellectual, the creepy boss, the animal rights activist. But which kiss will be the one to ultimately change their lives? With sardonic humor and unexpected emotional force, THE KISSING LIST follows a group of women who take outrageous chances in life and love, and merrily defy the expectations of parents and friends - perfectly capturing that harrowing and thrilling decade in life when just about anything seems possible.

Then, in broad daylight, Munroe herself is tranquilized and abducted while Miles Bradford, the man she loves, witnesses the incident and can do nothing to stop it. Tying these threads together is a mysterious figure with an ambiguous past, a man known only as the Doll Maker, who has come to collect on a debt that Munroe must repay. While Bradford races to find her, Munroe is transported across the globe and thrust into an underground world of sexual slavery and human trafficking, a world where women and girls are merchandise, purchased pennies for the pound or stolen right off the street. In a trail that leads from Croatia into France and back again, Munroe is pitted not only against the full force of the Doll Maker’s organization, but against the worst aspects of herself, those internal scars from a life of violence. Running against time, she must deliver a missing Hollywood starlet—merchandise and real life doll—to keep Logan alive, but by succeeding she’ll guarantee the young girl’s demise. Munroe would rather fail than make this impossible choice, yet at the mercy of the Doll Maker she cannot afford failure. Munroe must choose, because unless she can outthink and outsmart a man who holds all the cards, she will pay her dues in the only currency she values: innocent life.

THE ARIADNE OBJECTIVE: The Secret Allied War in Crete and the Daring Commando Raid that Loosened the Nazi Hold On Occupied Europe Espionage/WWII Davis, Wes Crown Trade Publication Date: October 2012 Status: Manuscript in December Rights: World In the bleakest years of World War II, as the Nazi war machine rolled over country after country, it appeared that nothing could slow the advance of Hitler’s lightning-fast mechanized army. But when the German military trained its sights on the Mediterranean island of Crete, a mere stepping stone on the way to world domination, the juggernaut met its match in the most unexpected form. The army that had stormed almost unopposed across Europe finally stumbled, its occupation of the island hobbled by the fierce resistance of a small band of British intelligence officers (foremost among them Patrick Leigh Fermor, code-named Michali, who would become one of the 20th century’s greatest travel writers), a defiant group of Cretan partisans and an American out to avenge his father’s murder. THE ARIADNE OBJECTIVE tells the story of these men and the audacious commando operations they conducted in the very shadow of the German occupation force, a secret war that reached its climax in the kidnapping of one German commander and a day of reckoning for another. Wes Davis was the assistant to the director of excavations at Kavousi in Eastern Crete, a site just north of the beach where SOE landed supplies for the secret kidnapping operation. He holds a Ph.D. in British and American Literature from Princeton University and has written for publications ranging from Southwest Review to The New York Times.

500 DAYS: An Epic of Liberation Kershaw, Alex Publication Date: September 2012 Status: Manuscript in December

History—WWII Broadway Books Rights: World

500 DAYS is a closely focused war saga about an American infantry commander’s descent into the deepest maelstrom of World War II Europe. The story moves from the landings at Sicily in July 1943 to Anzio and to the drama of the liberation of Dachau. This is a transcendently human story of fortitude, faith, and sacrifice. Felix Sparks led a platoon in the landings at Sicily in July 1943 and did not see a break from action until his unit liberated Dachau 510 days later. His unit was wiped out in the battle for Anzio, and as its sole survivor he reconstituted the company for the invasion of southern France. Moving toward the German border, Sparks found himself matched against the toughest SS units Hitler had. The push up through the Vosges Mountains plunged Sparks into a dark horror that culminated with his arrival at Dachau. As Sparks liberated the first Holocaust survivors, he somehow summoned the strength to restrain his men from a wholesale slaughter of the Nazi guards. A photo of Sparks raising his hand to forestall their vengeance on April 29, 1945, is one of the most moving images of the war. Before Colonel Sparks passed away in 2007, Kershaw conducted many hours’ worth of interviews with him. Alex Kershaw was previously published by Simon & Schuster, Penguin, and Hutchinson (BCOM), Kinneret (Israel), Record (Brazil), Natur och Kultur (Sweden), Spartacus (Norway), Bzztoh (Holland), Baronet (Czech), Debate (Spain), Znak (Poland), Laffont (France), Otava (Finland), and Piemme (Italy).

Culinary Memoir Broadway Paperbacks

When in 2009 the New York Times ranked Lebanon the number-one travel destination in the world, Salma Abdelnour took it as a catalyst to move back to Beirut and back to her roots. Using her career as a food writer and her obsession with Lebanese cuisine—the food of her childhood memories and her adult dreams, the food so popular yet so misunderstood around the world—she tried to find her way back to the home she never really knew. Food has always been Salma’s road home. The Beirut scenes she remembers most vividly and happily from childhood are of her family at outdoor restaurants always in boisterous groups spending hours over fragrant platters of juicy grilled meats and just-caught seafood from the coast, garlicky hummus, salads spiked with thyme and spicy sumac, piping-hot loaves of fresh pita, and pistachio-topped pastries oozing with cream and honey and orange-blossom syrup. Those mental snapshots, flashing like a slideshow, seem to encapsulate everything she’s craved since: a sense of ease, comfort, and security that happens only when you’re at peace and with friends. Salma Abdelnour comes from a legendary literary family, with uncles Edward Said and Albert Hourani, and a legendary culinary family, which owns Lebanon’s largest canning company and runs the international food-export business Clic. Another uncle, Cecil Hourani, is a renowned food historian in London. In this project, she’s marshaling her considerable talents in food and travel writing to tell the story of Lebanon and the story of herself: it’s a story of how food can lead you home.

Like many first-generation immigrants, Chinese-American Huan Hsu grew up never feeling comfortable with his ethnicity. He went to college, became a journalist, and got an MFA in creative writing. Then he heard about his great-great-grandfather’s prized porcelain collection—potentially worth many millions of dollars—which was buried in the ground as Japanese soldiers were making their way from Nanking to his family’s town. Three years ago, Hsu set out to find the family treasure, reconnect with his ancestry, and come to terms with his identity. THE PORCELAIN THIEF is Hsu’s journey through the old and new worlds of China. Each stop along his journey brings him closer to understanding his family background, China’s cultural and national history, and the ancient art of porcelain-making. Each stop also brings him closer to finding his ancestor’s buried treasure. Porcelain is as central to the Chinese identity as the Yangtze River; it’s the bones to the Yangtze’s blood, and it’s no accident that the material became eponymous with its country of origin. Hsu has located the whereabouts of his great-great-grandfather’s estate and plans to return to China in the next months to begin search and excavation. What happens to him on this final trip will be the dramatic end point of this sweeping narrative. Huan Hsu was a staff writer at the Seattle Weekly and the Washington City Paper.

Jimmy Page is one of the most influential guitarists and songwriters in rock history. Page was the leader, mastermind, guitarist, and producer of Led Zeppelin, described by Rolling Stone magazine as ―the biggest band of the seventies‖ and ―unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history.‖ While there is no shortage of written material out there on Led Zeppelin’s legacy, none of the band members have ever written a tell-all book or cooperated with the press or a biographer. Over the last 20 years, Brad Tolinski, editor-in-chief of Guitar World magazine, has interviewed Page more than any other journalist in the world, and by asking incisive questions, he’s been able to gain the trust of this greatly misunderstood artist. Sifting through more than 50 hours of conversations that touch on everything from the 1960s music scene and his early years as England’s top session guitarist working with artists like The Who, The Kinks, and Eric Clapton, to his wild years in Led Zeppelin, and post-Zep projects, LIGHT AND SHADE will provide readers with the most complete picture of the media-shy guitarist ever published. It is doubtful that Page will ever write a book, and given this, LIGHT AND SHADE will undoubtedly be considered the closest thing Led Zeppelin fans will get to a published autobiography, making this book an essential read.

GROWING UP PSYCHIC: My Story of Not Only Surviving But Thriving--and How Others Like Me Can, Too Memoir/Clairvoyance Coffey, Chip Three Rivers Press Publication Date: May 2012 Status: Manuscript in October Rights: World In GROWING UP PSYCHIC, Chip Coffey, star of A&E's hit show, Psychic Kids, shares his personal story of discovering his gift as a child, the challenges he faced coming to terms with it, and his decision to embrace it. Based on his first-hand experience and the true stories of kids he has worked with and helped, Coffey informs readers of what it is really like to grow up with psychic abilities, how those abilities can be developed and nurtured, and why it is so important for kids to be in charge of their gift, so that it doesn't overwhelm and control them. GROWING UP PSYCHIC will educate and inform a broad spectrum of readers, including parents, counselors, educators, clergy, and health care professionals, so that they will be better able to help launch these children successfully into psychic adulthood. Throughout the book, Chip will use the remarkable true stories of kids he has encountered and helped, as well as his personal story, to bring the experience of growing up psychic to life. Chip's down-to-earth, no nonsense, empathic, and witty approach will demystify a subject that many find weird and intimidating. As he puts it, "Being psychic--minus the woo woo--simply means being able to access energy or information that can't be accessed using the five human senses. People try to make it a lot bigger, weirder, and spookier than it really is." Chip Coffey is an internationally acclaimed psychic, medium, paranormal investigator, lecturer, and writer. His TV show ―Psychic Kids‖ airs in UK, ANZ, Norway, Sweden, Central America, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. He grew up psychic himself and after successful careers in traditional counseling, the entertainment industry and travel management--he began working full-time as a psychic and medium in 2001.

CONFUSE IT TO LOSE IT is a holistic plan for shedding 20 pounds in 28 days. The key is to keep the metabolism constantly confused and surprised with a specific and carefully designed series of meals that alternate the kinds of foods you eat each day for seven 4-day cycles. Drawing on Haylie Pomroy’s years of study and extensive clinical work, this simple, and fool-proof plan shows how to alternate and combine specific functional foods (from high-carb, high-protein, low-fat days to high-protein, low-carb, low-fat days to high-fat, moderate-protein, moderate carbs) at different times each day to evoke precise physiological changes in the body that maximize the metabolism’s fat-burning power.

FINDING ULTRA Fitness/Health/Diet Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself Roll, Richard Crown Archetype Publication Date: July 2012 Status: Awaiting Manuscript Rights: World FINDING ULTRA is the true story of the author's remarkable transformation, at the age of forty, from outof-shape man into one of the world's best endurance athletes. On the eve of his fortieth birthday, Rich Roll was in bad shape. His days were filled with work, stress and junk food and his nights were spent on the couch, remote control in hand. He decided it was time to make a change. He underwent a diet detox, adopted a vegan lifestyle, and pushed his fitness regimen to undreamed of heights. Among his many jaw-dropping athletic feats: he completed the unprecedented "Epic 5" -- five back-to-back Ironman-distance triathlons on five different Hawaiian islands in under a week --an achievement many said was impossible. This is the story of that remarkable transformation, a complete physical and spiritual rejuvenation that proves that anyone can "find ultra", if they know how. Rich Roll's athletic achievements, including repeatedly ranking as one of the top Americans in the Ultraman World Championship despite his age, and being the first man to complete the Epic 5, have earned him endurance-world acclamation but also the attention of the general media. He's been featured on CNN, and profiled in the LA Times, Outside magazine and Men's Fitness. Rich Roll's transformation from overweight schlub to athletic god is inherently appealing to anyone who's ever grappled with staying fit. To realize his potential, Rich had to change his diet and cultivate an entirely new outlook, one that saw past the obstacles modern life kept throwing in his way and zeroed in on what really matters.

FIXED The Human Consequences of the Perverse Power of Global Finance Casey, Michael Publication Date: May 2012 Status: Manuscript in October Rights: World

Big Idea/Narrative/Globalization Crown Business

What do 220 million Chinese migrant workers; high school dropouts from Perth, Australia, earning six figures working in mines; decapitated bodies in Juarez City, Mexico; and an underemployed ordinary guy from New York all have in common? Their lives are being changed by a rapidly evolving global financial system that few, not even those at the highest levels of government and the corporate world, have a grip on. We are at a turning point in world history, one being determined by titanic shifts in the global financial system. Yet ignorance of how the system works is widespread. This is the first book to illuminate the historical and current context and make it real by showing everyday people how the global financial system affects their lives. The global financial system, centered on the unique and dysfunctional relationships between the United States and China, is shrouded in mystery, yet it has enormous impact on the day-to-day fortunes of billions of people. Michael Casey combines narrative-driven reporting, travel writing, observations of socioeconomic phenomena, and clear-headed analysis into a vivid portrait of an interdependent, financially stressed world. His anecdote-rich account will engage readers while showing them why they must care about rigid, misaligned exchange rates, currency wars, and dangerous imbalances in the world’s savings and spending patterns. Michael Casey writes a column on global economic affairs for Dow Jones Newswires in New York. He was also the Dow Jones bureau chief and principal correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Argentina.

$100 START-UP: Rewrite the Rules of Work, Become Your Own Boss, and Create Your Future Guillebeau, Chris Lifestyle/Careers Publication Date: May 2012 Crown Business Status: Awaiting manuscript Rights: World If you want to start a small business, you don’t need an MBA, venture capital, a wealthy relative, or a 65page business plan. You just need a product or service, a group of people willing to pay for it, and a way to get paid. That’s it.The goal of $100 STARTUP is to equip and unleash a wave of solo-preneurs, defined as entrepreneurs who work entirely on their own or with fewer than five employees. Do it all yourself, do it on the cheap, and do it quickly. $100 STARTUP is the story of how 100 people did exactly that, and how readers can follow in their footsteps to create their own low-budget startup. Like Tim Ferriss in the bestselling 4 Hour Workweek, Chris Guillebeau is an entrepreneur and world traveler (he has visited over 150 countries) committed to pursuing adventure and helping people live unconventional, remarkable lives. He is also the author of The Art of Non-Conformity (Perigee/Penguin, Sept 2010).

SEXY LITTLE NUMBERS: How to Use the Data You Have to Increase Sales and Grow Your Business at Virtually No Cost Management Maex, Dmitri Crown Business Publication Date: April 2012 Status: Manuscript in October Rights: World SEXY LITTLE NUMBERS will appeal to readers of Buyology, Super Crunchers, How We Decide, and Sway, and intends to replace gut feelings, hunches, and one-size-fits-all rules of thumb about whom to market to and how much to spend. The most successful companies today are those who turn the ―data deluge‖ we all face into insights that drive real growth. SEXY LITTLE NUMBERS helps uncover those insights and explains them in simple, straightforward terms. Companies can try all kinds of things to reach them, but ultimately it is the customers/consumers/clients who decide if they are interested in what is being offered. And the big unanswered question is, Why did they buy? Did the consumer buy because the product was perfect for their needs, because they liked your ad, because your price was appealing, because of word-of-mouth . . . or because of some combination of a hundred other factors? Finding out what happens when you turn the dials and push the buttons is a messy business, and figuring it all out is what Dmitri Maex does. He developed clean, tried, and tested tools and applies them to the unruly demand side of the business. This book will help you discover who the most profitable customers are, who is most likely to buy from you, and which customers are not worth targeting. Dmitri Maex leads Ogilvy & Mather consulting group in North America and serves as the head of the company’s Global Data Practice, where he helps clients the world over employ hugely profitable and radically new uses for their data and analysis.

DARK POOLS Artificial Intelligence/Finance The Rise of Artificially Intelligent Trading Machines and the Looming Threat to Wall Street Patterson, Scott Crown Business Publication Date: June 2012 Status: Awaiting manuscript Rights: World DARK POOLS is about Wall Street's growing embrace of artificial intelligence and the chilling prospect that soon so much of the trading process will be ceded to computers that humans will cease to know exactly what is going on - or what could happen. DARK POOLS shows that the insane quest for speed is completely transforming stock trades (one company just spent $300 million to gain 3 millionths of a second), and that, past a certain point, the ability of humans to maintain control breaks down. Moreover, there's an even bigger game afoot - the quest to build automated trading machines that completely eliminate the market's riskiest and most fickle influence: people. The idea is to create a program that learns from each trade it processes, to create, in effect, a "robot version of Warren Buffett" -- but one whose knowledge never peaks. As the money grid extends its tentacles over the planet, and the "market conversation" becomes, increasingly, one super-intelligent machine talking to another, some fear that the entire system will become shrouded in darkness - a classic "black box" on a global scale. DARK POOLS shows how we got here; what the brave new world of highspeed, robot-controlled markets looks like; and where it all may be heading. Scott Patterson is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Quants. He worked for several years as a financial reporter at the Wall Street Journal. The Quants sold to: RH Business Books (BCOM), Bestseller (Brazil), Kadokawa (Japan), Cheers (China) and Dasan Books (Korea).

BRICK BY BRICK: The Rise, Perilous Fall and Spectacular Resurgence of LEGO Business Narrative Robertson, David, with Breen, Bill Crown Business Publication Date: January 2013 Status: Manuscript in December Rights: World BRICK BY BRICK is a fascinating narrative of the iconic toymaker LEGO and its rise, perilous fall, and spectacular resurgence. And it is a guide to understanding just how LEGO built innovation into every aspect of its business, powering the company to record results in recent years. Based in Denmark’s hinterlands, the family-owned LEGO Group was for nearly eight decades an aloof, insular company whose idealistic, imaginative approach to play helped it conjure toys that kids everywhere adored. All of that changed in 2003, when LEGO failed to adapt to the revolutionary changes in children’s lives and very nearly collapsed. Since that crisis, LEGO has re-emerged as a powerful, serial innovator that has proven itself to be as resilient as its indestructible bricks and as resourceful as the 10-year-olds who bring them to life. Through the authors’ unfettered access to every part of the LEGO Group, BRICK BY BRICK will detail the unique innovation guidance system that allows managers to channel the company’s creative endeavors. David Robertson is the LEGO Professor of Innovation and Technology Management at IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland. Bill Breen is the coauthor, of The Responsibility Revolution: How the Next Generation of Businesses Will Win (Jossey-Bass, 2010) and the coauthor of The Future of Management (Harvard Business School Press, 2007). Rights have been sold to L&R Business (Denmark) and Elsevier (Brazil).

UNTITLED ON GLOBAL INVESTING Rogers, Jim Publication Date: February 2013 Status: Awaiting manuscript

Memoir/Investing Crown Business Rights: World

Investment legend Jim Rogers offers economic and investing insight through the lens of his own life story, from his early years at Yale to becoming co-founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros. Jim Rogers is convinced that Southeast Asia and China are the dominant drivers of the world economy in the twenty first century and consequently left New York and moved to Singapore in 2007. His young daughters are learning Mandarin, in preparing themselves for the economic realities of the decades ahead. Jim Rogers claims that the financial dominance of the United States. has ended and that it cannot be regained and that the world is currently drifting away from finance itself as a source of prosperity. A historic shift is underway in which farmers and people who produce will once again rule the economy, while finance and investing become dismal arenas. Rogers is as famous for being a contrarian as for being a libertarian: always skeptical of conventional wisdom, observing the herd and characteristically running the other way and in the process becoming a very rich man. Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund before he turned 30 and retired at age 37. Since then, he has served as a sometime professor of finance at Columbia University’s business school, and as a media commentator worldwide. He is the author of A Bull in China, Hot Commodities, Adventure Capitalist, and Investment Biker. He recently moved to Asia with his wife and daughters. He was previously published by: Unieboek (Holland), China Times (Taiwan), Citic (China), Nikkei (Japan), Good Morning Books (Korea), Finanzbuch (Germany), Olympus (Russia), Wiley (BCOM), A.R. Business (Thailand), Letras & Lucros (Brazil), Valor (France), Hegnar Media (Norway), Obeikan (Arabic), and Grada (Czech).
