INDEPENDENT ED
Inside a Career of Big Dreams, Little Movies,
and the Twelve Best Days of My Life
Edward Burns
An entertaining and inspirational memoir
by independent filmmaker, acclaimed
writer, director, and actor Ed Burns
At the age of twenty-five, Edward Burns directed and produced his first film on a tiny
$25,000 budget. The Brothers McMullen went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at the
Sundance Film Festival in 1995 and established the working-class Irish American
filmmaker as a talent to watch. In the twenty years since, Burns has made ten more
films (She’s the One, Sidewalks of New York, and The Fitzgerald Family Christmas), while
also acting in big-budget Hollywood movies (Saving Private Ryan), hit television
shows (Entourage and Mob City), and pioneering a new distribution network for indie
filmmakers online and with TV’s On Demand service (“Why open a film in twenty art
houses when you can open in twenty million homes?”).
Inspired by Burns’s uncompromising success both behind and in front of the
camera, students and aspiring filmmakers are always asking Burns for advice. In
Independent Ed, Burns shares the story of his two remarkable decades in a fickle
business where heat and box office receipts are often all that matter. He recounts
stories of the lengths he has gone to to secure financing for his films, starting with
The Brothers McMullen (he told his father: “Shooting was the twelve best days of my
life”). How he found stars on their way up—including Jennifer Aniston and Cameron
Diaz—to work in his films, and how he’s adhered religiously to the dictum of writing
what you know, working as if he was just starting out, and always “looking for the next
twelve best days of my life.”
Chronicling the struggles and the long hours as well as the heady moments when
months of planning and writing come to fruition, Independent Ed is a must-read for
movie fans, film students, and everyone who loves a gripping tale about what it takes
to forge your own path in work and life.
✦2015 marks the twentieth anniversary of The Brothers McMullen.
✦Features anecdotes about Robert Redford, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro,
Angelina Jolie, and Tom Petty, just to name a few
✦Ed Burns stars in the new TNT series, Public Morals, which premieres in 2015.

EXCERPT | My goals were to get McMullen seen and get a deal
with a distributor signed. Within a month, though, the rejection
letters started coming in. I didn’t even get a nibble from an agent,
a manager, or a film festival. Nothing. I was a dead fish in still
water. The final straw came when I received a turndown from the
Hamptons Film Festival. I was a Long Island filmmaker. McMullen
was a Long Island movie and they rejected it? I was upset. I was
twenty-six years old. It had taken me three years to write a script,
find $25,000, and make the movie.
That’s when my dad interceded. One day he took me out for a
drink. He listened to me moan about the state of my career and
what had happened with the movie after I sent it out—or, more
accurately, what hadn’t happened. In the midst of my depressing
monologue, he put his hand up like a cop stopping traffic. He’d had
enough. “As I recall, you made this film because you had something
to say and because this is what you want and need to do with
your life.” I nodded. “And the days you spent making McMullen
were the twelve greatest days of your life,” he went on. “Then stop
complaining, sit down, and write another screenplay. We’ll figure
out a way to get you another $25,000 and get you another twelve
days. We’ll keep grabbing those twelve days every couple of years
until this thing does happen for you.”
EDWARD BURNS is a writer, director, and
actor. He lives with his family in New York.

LENTIL UNDERGROUND
Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America
Liz Carlisle
A protégé of Michael Pollan shares the story
of a little-known group of farmers who
defied agribusiness by launching a unique
sustainable farm-to-table food movement.
The story of the Lentil Underground begins on a 280-acre homestead rooted in America’s
Great Plains: the Oien family farm. Forty years ago, corporate agribusiness told small
farmers like the Oiens to “get big or get out.” But twenty-seven-year-old David Oien
decided to take a stand, becoming the first in his conservative Montana county to
plant a radically different crop: organic lentils. Unlike the chemically dependent
grains American farmers had been told to grow, lentils make their own fertilizer and
tolerate variable climate conditions, so their farmers aren’t beholden to industrial
methods. Today, Oien leads an underground network of organic farmers who work
with heirloom seeds and biologically diverse farm systems. Under the brand Timeless
Natural Food, their unique business-cum-movement has grown into a million-dollar
enterprise that sells to Whole Foods, hundreds of independent natural foods stores,
and a host of renowned restaurants.
From the heart of Big Sky Country comes this inspiring story of a handful of
colorful pioneers who have successfully bucked the chemically-based food chain and
the entrenched power of agribusiness’s 1 percent by stubbornly banding together.
Journalist and native Montanan Liz Carlisle weaves an eye-opening and richly
reported narrative that will be welcomed by readers of food and farm memoirs as well
as everyone concerned with the future of American agriculture and natural food in an
increasingly uncertain world.
✦As a fellow at the University of California Berkeley’s Center for Diversified Farming
Systems, Liz Carlisle works under the mentorship of bestselling author Michael
Pollan.

EXCERPT
| When David Oien planted the first organic lentil
in his Montana county, it was a radical act. For the past two
generations, American farming towns like his have had one
job: to grow more grain. In Iowa and Nebraska, that’s corn.
On the northern plains, farms specialize in either wheat
or barley. All other life-forms stand aside so that farmers
can grow one plant, year after year. Every twelve months,
bursting seedheads pack the full sum of the farmers’ human
effort, modern technology, and natural endowments into
the original form of stored wealth: grain. Lentils do exactly
the opposite. Instead of mining the soil for nutrients to
fuel an impressive harvest, this Robin Hood of the dryland
prairie gathers the abundant fertility of the aboveground
world—of the air, in fact—and shares it freely beneath
the earth’s surface. Inside the plant’s nodules, rhizobia
bacteria surreptitiously convert atmospheric nitrogen into a
community nutrient supply. If wheat is the symbol of rugged
individualism, lentils embody that other agrarian hallmark
too often overlooked in the western mythos: community.

University and a PhD in geography from
the University of California at Berkeley.
Carlisle is also a country music singersongwriter who has opened shows for

A DEATH ON
DIAMOND MOUNTAIN
A True Story of Obsession, Madness, and the Path to Enlightenment
Scott Carney
An investigative reporter explores an infamous
case where an obsessive and unorthodox
search for enlightenment went terribly wrong.
When thirty-eight-year-old Ian Thorson died from dehydration and dysentery on a
remote Arizona mountaintop in 2012, The New York Times reported the story under
the headline: “Mysterious Buddhist Retreat in the Desert Ends in a Grisly Death.” Scott
Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, was struck
by how Thorson’s death echoed other incidents that reflected the little-talked-about
connection between intensive meditation and mental instability.
Using these tragedies as a springboard, Carney explores how those who go to
extremes to achieve divine revelations—and undertake it in illusory ways—can tangle
with madness. He also delves into the unorthodox interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism
that attracted Thorson and the bizarre teachings of its chief evangelists: Thorson’s
wife, Lama Christie McNally, and her previous husband, Geshe Michael Roach, the
supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University, where Thorson died.
Carney unravels how the cultlike practices of McNally and Roach and the
questionable circumstances surrounding Thorson’s death illuminate a uniquely
American tendency to mix and match eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces in
a quest to reach an enlightened, perfected state, no matter the cost.
Aided by Thorson’s private papers, along with cutting-edge neurological research
that reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain and stories of
miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals, and tantric rites from former Diamond
Mountain acolytes, A Death on Diamond Mountain is a gripping work of investigative
journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger.
✦Ian Thorson, Lama Christie McNally, and Geshe Michael Roach are the principal
figures in A Death on Diamond Mountain.

| When they moved here, Christie McNally and Ian
Thorson saw the cave as a spiritual refuge in the tradition of
the great Himalayan masters. Their plan was as elegant as
it was treacherous: They would occupy the cave until they
achieved enlightenment.
Thorson, McNally’s husband, was thin now. Too thin,
really. She knew that when he looked up from the mattress
they’d hauled up that he wouldn’t see the guileless face of
the girl who grew up outside of Los Angeles. Nor would
he identify the outline of the woman with whom he’d
helped build Diamond Mountain University into a major
site for Tibetan Buddhist meditation. It was not the woman
with whom he’d spent countless hours perfecting the
intricate postures of couple’s yoga, where they would use
each other’s weight to push their bodies into impossible
configurations. She certainly wasn’t the ex-wife of his first
guru and spiritual teacher, Geshe Michael Roach, who was
still jealously stewing over their controversial split. No.
When he gazed out of the dimming aperture of the cave, he
would see an angel made out of clear white light. Christie
McNally was his lover and his lama.
She was also his only hope for making it out of here alive.

DIRTY CHICK
True Tales of an Unlikely Farmer
Antonia Murphy
An uproarious memoir chronicling the
misadventures of a born-and-bred
San Franciscan who leaves city life to
become an artisanal farmer in New Zealand
After a traumatic experience caring for her father’s chicken, Antonia Murphy vowed
to never again take responsibility for a living creature besides her children. That all
changed in 2013 when Antonia uprooted her urban family and moved to Purua, New
Zealand, a small rural community where the residents all lived as their forebears had
done for centuries, raising livestock, growing their own food, and making cheese.
It was an odd place for American yuppies to settle, but after Antonia’s five-yearold son was diagnosed with a developmental delay, she feared that he would struggle
at a fast-paced city school. She and her husband wanted him to grow up in a place
where he could thrive and be part of a community. How great it would be to get back
to the land! How responsible and progressive and eco-friendly, she thought. So what if
she had zero farming experience? How hard could it be?
As Antonia later noted, “You don’t see dairy farmers moving to the city with big
ideas about being cardiologists for fun.” Soon she found herself carrying poop in her
purse, trying to wrangle a rogue dairy cow, and impregnating a goat. But Antonia
soldiered on, slowly becoming addicted to farm life—even if she would never be a
natural.
Part touching story of a family starting over and part raunchy send-up of the
burgeoning artisan farming movement, Dirty Chick will make readers laugh, cringe,
and root for its incredible, unlikely heroine.

| This cow was supposedly named Lucky. If it were up to me,
she’d be christened “A Thousand Pounds of Anarchy,” which would be a
lot more descriptive and frankly more accurate.
To begin with, she didn’t like grass. She’d much rather eat the tender,
new pea shoots, or the sweetest baby lettuces from the garden. As
soon as our backs were turned, she’d jump the fence. Then we’d find
her in the veggie patch, munching on organic chard, or out on the
road, taking a pleasant stroll toward town.
Most of the time, we got her back in her paddock. Peter and I
would go running into the garden with long sticks of bamboo, yelling,
“BAAAAA!” and “GO, COW, GO!” which if you know anything about
farming are technical terms for cow herding. But sometimes Lucky
would disappear for days, and we could only hope she was having a
nice time and staying away from the moving vehicles.
She could stay gone as far as I was concerned, but there was the
unpleasant chance she could be hit by a car, which would be messy,
and probably dangerous for the driver. So this time, I had to retrieve
her. I wasn’t all that sure how to do this by myself, as cow herding wasn’t
a subject they covered in liberal arts school, but I thought I’d improvise.

THAT’S NOT ENGLISH
Britishisms, Americanisms, and What Our English Says About Us
Erin Moore
with a Foreword by Lynne Truss
An expat’s witty and insightful exploration of English
and American cultural differences through the lens
of language that will leave readers gobsmacked
In That’s Not English, the seemingly superficial differences between British and
American English open the door to a deeper exploration of a historic and fascinating
cultural divide. In each of the thirty chapters, Erin Moore explains a different word we
use that says more about us than we think. For example, “Quite” exposes the tension
between English reserve and American enthusiasm; in “Moreish,” she addresses our
snacking habits. In “Partner,” she examines marriage equality; in “Pull,” the theme is
dating and sex; “Cheers” is about drinking; and “Knackered” covers how we raise our
kids. The result is a cultural history in miniature and an expatriate’s survival guide.
American by birth, Moore is a former book editor who specialized in spotting
British books—including Eats, Shoots & Leaves—for the US market. She’s spent the
last seven years living in England with her Anglo American husband and a small
daughter with an English accent. That’s Not English is the perfect companion for
modern Anglophiles and the ten million British and American travelers who visit one
another’s countries each year.
| The idea that England and America are two countries separated by a common
language is variously attributed to George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. Regardless of who
said it, this ubiquitous line trivializes the problem. I’ve known Americans who have made
entire careers in the Middle East on a few lines of Arabic and conducted affairs in Paris without
enough French to fill an éclair. So why do Americans, who arrive in England with an entire
language in common, have such a hard time fitting in? And why do English people, who
once set up homes in every far-flung outpost of their empire, find America so foreign? What
underlies the seemingly superficial differences between British English and American English
are deep and historic cultural divisions, not easily bridged.
That’s Not English is for you if you love language enough to argue about it; if you enjoy
travel, armchair or otherwise; if you are contemplating a move to England or America; if you
consider yourself an Anglophile; or you’ve ever wondered why there isn’t a similarly great
word for English people who love America. (Americanophile feels like a mouthful of nails, and
Yankophile sounds truly disreputable.) This is a love letter to two countries that owe each other
more than they would like to admit. God bless us, every one.

YOUR SHORT GAME SOLUTION
Mastering the Finesse Game from 120 Yards and In
James Sieckmann with David DeNunzio
with a Foreword by Dr. Greg Rose
The first and only book on the market to teach
the revolutionary “finesse wedge” solution, by
the sought-after golf coach who developed it
Since James Sieckmann first revealed his short-game methods two decades ago, he
has amassed a cultlike following of more than seventy PGA and LPGA Tour disciples
and was dubbed the “Short Game Guru to the Pros” (GOLF Magazine). Using his
system, Sieckmann’s students fast became some of the best short-game players of the
modern era. A two-time winner on the PGA Tour jumped 117 spots in the Sand Save
rankings in one season; another client quickly jumped eighty-one spots in Scrambling
percentage.
The benefits of a good short game are undisputed. Unfortunately, players at all
levels fail to develop effective short-game skills because instructors teach the exact
opposite of the correct technique. Sieckmann studied the greatest short-game
players in recent memory—including Seve Ballesteros, Corey Pavin, and Ray Floyd—
to develop a proven and pragmatic way to learn, practice, and perform with each
wedge in every situation. His unique observations were verified by motion capture
technology, and twenty years later he started teaching his methods, which work for
amateurs as well as the pros.
In his long-awaited first book, Sieckmann opens up his vault of secrets for all
golfers. After breaking down the basics, he presents a session-by-session training
and practice guide—the same one he creates for his tour clients—to help the reader
develop and sustain correct habits, avoid common flaws, and hone essential skills.
Next, Sieckmann explains how to optimize a player’s finesse wedge swing for every
scenario. An easy-to-learn and easy-to-use system, Your Short Game Solution will be
the go-to guide anywhere golf is played.
✦James Sieckmann is a seven-time PGA Section Teacher of the Year and one of GOLF
Magazine’s “Top 100 Teachers in America.”
✦He began his coaching career working for short-game pioneer Dave Pelz.
✦Sieckmann’s students include some of the greatest short-game players, including
Tom Pernice Jr., Ben Crane, I.K. Kim, Charley Hoffman, Kevin Chappell, Jeff Overton,
and Brad Faxon.

THE WILD DIET
Get Back to Your Roots, Burn Fat,
and Drop Up to 20 Pounds in 40 Days
Abel James
The creator of The Fat-Burning Man Show
shares his revolutionary weight-loss program.
Every month, half a million visitors download The Fat-Burning Man Show, eager to
learn the secret of Abel James’s incredible weight-loss success. Growing up on a defunct
farm in the backwoods of New Hampshire, James ran wild and had easy access to a
host of natural foods that a backyard garden could provide: eggs, fresh produce, and
real butter. But as he got older, he started eating a “modern diet” of processed foods,
and by his early twenties, James found himself with high blood pressure, insomnia,
acne, digestive problems, and love handles. Following the typical dieting advice of “eat
less, exercise more,” and despite running thirty miles a week and nibbling tasteless,
low-fat, low-calorie food, his health only worsened as his waistline expanded.
In an effort to gain control of his health, James dug deep into nutrition research
and discovered that everything he’d been told about low-calorie eating was wrong.
He realized that our bodies are wired to eat luxuriously—and burn fat—as long
as we’re eating the right foods. Incredibly, after just a few days of eating the most
delicious “wild” foods that were rich in fat and fiber, James’s health problems began to
disappear. And after forty days—and radically cutting back his exercise routine—he
had lost twenty pounds.
James is popular in the Paleo community, and The Wild Diet is the book his
hundreds of thousands of fans have been clamoring for. At a time when our collective
health is failing, James sounds a clarion call to announce that good health doesn’t live
in a pill, exercise program, or soul-crushing diet. The secret is simply getting back to
our wild roots.
✦#1 on the iTunes Health charts, The Fat-Burning Man Show has been ranked in the
top ten of overall audio and video podcasts for the last three years.
✦Abel James’s website receives more than 125,000 unique visitors a month and has
40,000 email subscribers.
✦He has sold more than 70,000 downloads of his $2.99 cookbook app, Caveman
Feast, which is ranked #1 in Food & Drink in the Apple App Store and the #6 paid
app (overall) for two years running (2013–14).
✦James is the winner of the People’s Choice Award for the #1 health and fitness
podcast.

A DISEASE CALLED CHILDHOOD
Why ADHD Became an American Epidemic
Marilyn Wedge, Ph.D.
A leading researcher and family therapist reframes
our understanding of the American ADHD epidemic,
and offers parents and educators a way forward.
Marilyn Wedge, Ph.D., struck a nerve with her Psychology Today article “Why French
Kids Don’t Have ADHD.” In it, she pointed out that eleven percent of children in
the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD, with two-thirds of them on
medication; whereas in France, the number was a measly half of one percent. The
article received more than six million hits and established Dr. Wedge as one of the
most sought-after voices in the field.
Now she delves deeper into the subject, investigating how child psychiatrists,
insurance companies, the “me” generation of parents, the food and pharmaceutical
industries, and, most important, the evolution of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders (DSM) have come together to diagnose children’s behavioral
problems as strictly biological, ignoring external causes ranging from dysfunctional
environments to media influences to diet. The result: a rising generation addicted to
stimulant drugs, some of whom have been prescribed what is essentially speed from
the age of four.
Concerns about ADHD are once again in the headlines, but there are few general
books addressing this issue. A Disease Called Childhood is written for the millions of
parents who wonder if their child has ADHD, or—if their child has been diagnosed—
whether to put him or her on medication. Drawing on techniques gleaned from family
therapy and cross-cultural wisdom from France and a host of other nations, Wedge
hopes to establish a new paradigm for child mental health—and a better, happier, and
less medicated future.

NEUROTRIBES
The Legacy of Autism and How to Think
Smarter about People Who Think Differently
Steve Silberman
A groundbreaking book that upends conventional
thinking about autism and suggests a broader model
for acceptance, understanding, and full participation
in society for people who think differently.
What is autism: a devastating developmental disorder, a lifelong disability, or a
naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In
truth, it is all of these things and more—and the future of our society depends on
our understanding it. WIRED reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of
autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it,
and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses
has soared in recent years.
Going back to the earliest days of autism research and chronicling the brave and
lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades, Silberman
provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle, while mapping out a path for our
society toward a more humane world in which people with learning differences and
those who love them have access to the resources they need to live happier, healthier,
more secure, and more meaningful lives.
Along the way, he reveals the untold story of Hans Asperger, the father of Asperger’s
syndrome, whose “little professors” were targeted by the darkest social-engineering
experiment in human history; exposes the covert campaign by child psychiatrist
Leo Kanner to suppress knowledge of the autism spectrum for fifty years; and casts
light on the growing movement of “neurodiversity” activists seeking respect, support,
technological innovation, accommodations in the workplace and in education, and
the right to self-determination for those with cognitive differences.
✦One in sixty-eight children has an autism-spectrum condition, according to the
CDC in 2014.
✦Steve Silberman co-keynoted the 2013 annual conference of the Asperger’s
Association of New England with Temple Grandin.
✦His NeuroTribes blog on the Public Library of Science is one of the prestigious
network’s most popular destinations.

EXCERPT | Autism is not simply a disabling condition that affects people
of a broad range of intelligence and ability, but is itself a specialized form
of intelligence that conveys both enhanced abilities and difficulties,
particularly in the social sphere.
In 1997, social scientist Judy Singer gave a name to this concept:
neurodiversity. As the daughter of an autistic Holocaust survivor, the
mother of a young daughter with Asperger’s syndrome, and a woman
with autistic traits herself, Singer was well aware of the emotional costs
of living with this form of disability in a world not built for people like
her. As a child, she had barely made it through elementary school, but
had managed to complete her education and was working on her thesis
in disability studies at the University of Technology in Sydney when she
joined an email forum built by and for autistic people called Independent
Living. Its motto was “Where those who are different find that they’re not
alone.”
The word “neurodiversity” came to her, she says, while talking on the
phone with another member of the forum, an American writer named
Harvey Blume. In a radical stroke, Singer hoped to shift the focus of
discourse about atypical ways of thinking and learning away from the
usual litany of deficits, disorders, and impairments. Echoing positive terms
like biodiversity and cultural diversity, her neologism called attention
to the fact that many atypical forms of brain wiring—including autism,
dyslexia, and ADHD—also convey unusual skills and aptitudes.

A Kay Hamilton Novel
M. A. Lawson
The thrilling second installment in M. A. Lawson’s
critically acclaimed Kay Hamilton series.
At the beginning of Viking Bay, our heroine, Kay Hamilton, finds herself once again
in need of a job—going rogue on the Olivera case in Rosarito Beach didn’t make her
a lot of friends in DEA. But an unexpected source tempts her to move back east and
begin working for the Callahan Group, a mysterious shadow government agency
whose motives are not entirely clear. For her first mission, Hamilton is let in on
only a few concrete facts: The U.S. government has a keen interest in Sahid Khan,
an Afghani governor, becoming the next president of his country. Khan’s daughter,
Ara—a beautiful, Western-educated former party girl—happens to be quite involved
in her father’s career and could be the crucial factor in his political decisions. And
Hamilton is just the undercover agent to discover Ara’s secrets and sway her decision
to correspond with the Pentagon’s needs.
But when things go horribly wrong on a routine trip to Afghanistan, Hamilton
is suddenly at the epicenter of an international plot whose players are shrouded
in enigmas, and questioning the allegiances of the very people she’s working for.
Suspenseful, fast-paced, and endlessly entertaining, Viking Bay is the tremendously
thrilling sequel to Rosarito Beach and a gripping stand-alone novel.
✦Kay Hamilton is an unforgettable heroine; a great cop who happens to be a
gorgeous woman. Critics and readers alike have praised this new series and
eagerly await the next installment.
✦Rosarito Beach was an Indie Next pick at publication and has also been optioned
for television by CBS Television Studios.
PRAISE FOR ROSARITO BEACH
“Lawson has written a great start to a promising new
series, with a gripping story line and a gutsy, likable heroine.
Readers who enjoy fast-paced thrillers and detective novels
with a female protagonist who’s fully developed, vulnerable,
and intriguing will gobble this one up and ask for more.”

UNTITLED ON IRAN
A Son’s Quest to Uncover the Unsettling Truth
About His Father—the 53rd Hostage in Iran
Cyrus Copeland
A spy story, a mystery, a father-son heartbreaker:
Cyrus Copeland seeks the truth about his father,
an American executive arrested in Iran for spying
at the time of the 1979 hostage crisis, then put
on trial for his life in a Revolutionary Court.
As a young boy living in Tehran in 1979, Cyrus Copeland—child of an American father
and Iranian mother—never dreamed that his dad, an employee of Westinghouse,
would be in danger for his life. That is, until the moment his father was arrested on
espionage charges and put on trial in a Revolutionary Court. Almost simultaneously,
more than fifty other Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy by Islamist
militants, an event that has recently captivated the world again with the success of
the book and film Argo. With the hostage crisis receiving most of the attention from
the media and White House, it was largely left to Copeland’s mother and family to
negotiate his father’s reprieve from the firing squad. Now, more than thirty years later,
Copeland sets out to find the truth about his father and his role in the Iranian hostage
crisis. Was he in fact an intelligence operative caught red-handed by the Iranian
regime, or was he innocent all along? Part mystery, part reportage, and part detective
work, Copeland’s memoir is a brilliantly original family epic encompassing a virtually
unknown chapter in the Iranian hostage saga.
✦With the success of the book and film Argo, there is renewed interest in events
surrounding the Iranian hostage situation—this story has never before been
reported anywhere.
✦Copeland is both reporter and subject in this spy story/mystery, having spent
years meticulously researching and then coming to terms with what he learned.

| I have an American father and an Iranian mother. I have
the blood of The Great Satan and The Axis of Evil in my veins. 1979
was the year that launched the Iranian revolution and Islamic
fundamentalism on an unready world, and in revisiting that year and
its dark, dramatic events, I saw how the fracture between the two
countries was written into my parents’ marriage—and played itself
out in microcosm while Iran and America did battle. Our story was
a prism. While all eyes were on the hostages, our crisis played out in
jail, in court, across international borders––and in private.
Was my dad a spy? Were the charges against him true? Were my
father alive today, he’d have pushed up his glasses and said in a voice
that left little room for discussion, “I don’t want to talk about it.” But
we Copelands had an adventure, a tale that goes back three decades
to the fault lines between Iran and America, and it needs to be told.
It’s time.

HOW TO BE A HUSBAND
Tim Dowling
A riotously funny book about how to be a good
husband (not like he would know) by Tim Dowling,
star columnist for The Guardian. Think Nick Hornby
meets Dave Barry—with a hint of Modern Family.
This is not a self-help book. Tim Dowling doesn’t have any solid advice for you on how
to be a man—he tried hard to become one for a while, but in the end he just got older.
This is simply the story of how, in the course of ten bewilderingly short years, Dowling
went from a bachelor’s life in New York City to becoming an ex-pat in London, solidly
married and the father of three young boys. It’s also an examination of what it means
to be a husband in the twenty-first century—and what is and isn’t required to hold that
office these days.
Tim Dowling has been exploiting his family in his writing for years, ever since it
became clear that readers of his weekly column at The Guardian couldn’t get enough
of the stories about his acerbically witty spouse and their rambunctious offspring.
Dowling writes brilliantly about his wife and marriage, from the first days of their
whirlwind courtship to the matter-of-fact manner in which they decided to tie the
knot, and keeping the “magic” alive after ten years together. Being a husband and father
in the era of “The End of Men” isn’t easy, and Dowling continues to struggle to find ways
to remain relevant to his family (hint: proficiency at DIY never hurts).
How to Be a Husband is a joyous and poignant read—a personal memoir about
falling in love, moving to another country, having children, and staying together through
money troubles and times of grief—that also just so happens to be devastatingly funny.
✦A unique Valentine’s Day gift, the book has wide appeal for both men and women.
✦Dowling is an American writing a popular column for The Guardian, the same
column previously written by New York Times–bestselling authors Jon Ronson and
Chris Cleave.

| “Whatever” has a reputation as a meaningless piece
of conversational shorthand, but it’s actually terribly useful
when conceding an argument. It acknowledges someone’s
right to an opinion without necessarily giving it credence,
and, depending on your inflection, it can also imply that while
life is too important to waste time fighting, your willingness
to make peace—to be the bigger person—comes at some
emotional cost. Best of all, it does all this gracelessly. The other
person will assume that having lost your case on points, you
are seeking to abandon the discussion before a humiliating
climbdown becomes necessary. With “whatever,” everybody
walks away with something.
One of the great tactical advantages of admitting you’re
wrong is that in marriage nobody wants to be a bad winner.
If you love someone, it’s impossible to draw much pleasure
from forcing them to admit a mistake. The very few times
I’ve actually won an argument I’ve noticed a strange hollow
feeling in the pit of my stomach that somehow robs the
moment of all satisfaction. And that is not how I want to feel
at the end of an argument. That’s how I want my wife to feel.

THE ASYLUM
A Collage of Couture Reminiscences . . . and Hysteria
Simon Doonan
“Hilarious [and] irresistible” (People magazine),
Simon Doonan’s bitingly funny valentine to the
fashion industry is now available in paperback.
After nearly a lifetime spent in the industry, author and fashion insider Simon Doonan
is ready to let you in on a little secret: his peers in this multibillion-dollar industry are
just as nutty as the denizens of your local loony bin. In The Asylum, an unabashedly
hilarious memoir-in-essays, Doonan, the creative ambassador for Barneys New York,
tells the real-life stories of glamorous madness and stylish insanity.
Doonan has seen it all: from dealing with models unable to work for fear of ghosts,
to deep-sea fishing with a couturier pal and his jailbird companion, to watching Anna
Wintour remain perfectly calm while the ceiling fell—literally—in the middle of Fashion
Week. The outlandish family Doonan knew as a child has given way to alarmingly
similar lunatic colleagues in the fashion world: style insiders see patterns and trends
in everything; they suffer from outsize personality disorders and delusions of grandeur;
and, of course, they have a predilection for theatrical makeup and artfully destroyed
clothing. No one is more suited to the asylum than the truly die-hard fashionista—after
all, eccentricity and extremism are the foundations of great style.
Hailed as “a must-read for fashionistas and non-fashionistas alike,” (Michael Kors)
and “raucous and revelatory” (Booklist), Doonan’s critically acclaimed collection gives
us the scoop on the kooky, cutthroat—but always fabulous—fashion world, and proves
the author to be one of the sharpest humorists writing today.
✦Publication coincides with New York Fashion Week 2015, during the height of
media interest for Doonan.

It’s hot and getting hotter this summer in Afghanipakiraqistan—the preferred name
for the ambiguous stretch of the world where the U.S. Special Forces operate with
little outside attention. Team leader Dutch Shaw is missing his late grandmother
who raised him. She was the last link he had to civilian life, to any kind of world of
innocence.
But there’s no time to mourn. After two helicopters in a sister squadron are shot
down, Shaw and his team know that they’re going to be spun up and sent back in,
deep into insurgent territory, where a mysterious new organization called Al Ayeelaa
has been attracting high-value targets from across the region. As Shaw and his men
fight their way closer to the source, mission by mission, they begin to realize that their
course may have been prepared for them in advance, and not by a welcoming host.
The Knife is a debut novel of intense authenticity by a former soldier in a United
States Special Operations Command direct-action team. As scenes of horseshoes
and horseplay cut to dim Ambien-soaked trips in helicopters and beyond, Ritchell’s
story takes us deep beneath the testosterone-laced patter into the lonelier, more
ambivalent world of military life in the Middle East. The result is a fast-paced journey
into darkness; a quintessential novel of the American wars of the twenty-first century.
✦Spare, powerful prose with dialogue that rings true, The Knife is reminiscent of
Tim O’Brien or Michael Herr. It’s an important contribution to the burgeoning
canon of post 9/11–war literature.
✦Ross Ritchell is a former soldier in a U.S. Special Ops direct-action team conducting
classified operations in the Middle East. Upon discharge, he earned his MFA from
Northwestern University.

| Shaw checked his watch. Thirteen minutes. His head
and hands throbbed, the ground seemed to pulse up and down.
He tried to breathe slowly, tightening his hands on his rifle and
running his tongue across his teeth. If there were any kids inside he
hoped they’d locked themselves in a bathroom.
“Show’s on, boys,” Barnes whispered.
Shaw checked his watch. Fourteen minutes and running.
He keyed the comms once and a short static went out. Three
others echoed in return. Then it seemed like the wind stopped
and everything got real quiet. Peaceful. His head felt heavy, like he
could lie down and sleep for hours.
Then the guard put both of his feet on the ground as if he were
going to stand.
And he did.
He turned to walk inside and Barnes released a breath. Shaw felt
the air kick on his face. Tremors rippled through his chest and arms.
The round tore through the guard’s back and he crumpled behind
the chair, legs splayed at impossible angles.
Shaw and his team were up and running before the shot finished
its echo.

THE UNITED STATES
OF LATE NIGHT
Jon Macks
A hilarious and revealing look at how American
late-night TV has shaped our understanding
of popular culture, politics, entertainment,
and world events, by the former top writer
for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Ever since Johnny Carson first popularized the late-night talk show in 1962 with The
Tonight Show, the 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. comedy time slot on network television has remained
an indelible part of our national culture. Today, we have more than six popular latenight shows that air every night of the week, and with the recent major shake-ups in
the industry—Jimmy Fallon taking over Jay Leno’s desk at The Tonight Show, Stephen
Colbert replacing David Letterman on The Late Show, John Oliver creating a whole
new format at HBO—late-night television has never been more relevant to our public
consciousness. Jon Macks, a veteran writer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, takes us
behind the scenes of the late-night world for an in-depth, colorful look at what really
makes these hosts the arbiters of public opinion.
From the opening monologue—what’s funny, what’s dangerous, what’s
untouchable—to the best vs. worst guests (think Billy Crystal and Martin Short vs.
Kristen Stewart and John Edwards), Macks covers the landscape of late-night comedy
and punctuates the narrative with hysterical personal anecdotes and draws from
more than half a million of his own jokes written over the span of twenty years. With
an insider’s expertise and a laugh-out-loud voice on every page, Macks explains how
late-night TV redefines the news and events of any given day, reshapes public opinion,
and even creates our national zeitgeist.
✦No one has more entertaining anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories than
Macks, who wrote for Jay Leno for his entire tenure on The Tonight Show.
✦The author is extremely well-connected in both entertainment and politics; he has
written for a Who’s Who list of Hollywood legends, including Billy Crystal, Steve
Martin, Chris Rock, Martin Short, Hugh Jackman, and Whoopi Goldberg, among
many others.
✦We will publish at the one-year anniversary of an important late-night changing
of the guard: Jay Leno’s departure from The Tonight Show and the installation of
Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers on their respective shows.

THE BOOK OF MEMORY GAPS
Cecilia Ruiz
Tim Burton meets The Pop-up Book of Phobias
in The Book of Memory Gaps, a poetic and
hauntingly funny illustrated book that explores
the power and mystery of the human mind,
created by author and artist Cecilia Ruiz.
We are the things we don’t remember,
the blank spaces,
the forgotten words . . .
So begins The Book of Memory Gaps, a delightfully witty and poignant collection of
memory disorders, conceived and illustrated by artist and designer Cecilia Ruiz. Her
keenly intelligent art reveals a pitch-black perfect sense of humor and a discerning,
unique command of color. In The Book of Memory Gaps, she has crafted miniature
stories that examine the curious and capricious nature of memory: there is Polina, a
ballerina unable to create new memories, who dances her premiere each night; Pavel,
a violinist who forgets what he has just played, and so rehearses the same melody
again and again; Simon, a priest who remembers every act of sin confessed to him as
if he has committed them himself. Accompanied by color illustrations throughout,
Ruiz’s concise, lyrical prose captures the delicate and fleeting nature of memory, as
well as its immense power. It is, after all, the intangible force that tethers us to our
“self ”—for who would we be without it?
✦A wonderfully original and thought-provoking exploration of memory that will
appeal to art-book collectors and science lovers alike—Oliver Sacks meets
Tim Burton.
✦All stories are based on real memory disorders and phenomena.
✦For fans of dark humorists such as Edward Gorey and Neil Gaiman.

VISITING HOURS
A Memoir of Friendship and Murder
Amy Butcher
With echoes of Darin Strauss’s Half a Life and
Cheryl Strayed’s Wild comes a beautifully written,
riveting memoir that examines the complexities
of friendship in the aftermath of a tragedy.
Four weeks before their college graduation, twenty-one-year-old Kevin Schaeffer
walked Amy Butcher to her home in their college town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Hours after parting ways with Amy, he fatally stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Emily
Silverstein. While awaiting trial, psychiatrists concluded that he had suffered an acute
psychotic break. Amy was severely affected by Kevin’s crime but remained devoted
to him as a friend. Over time, she became obsessed—determined to discover the
narrative that explained what Kevin had done, believing that Kevin’s actions were the
direct result of his untreated illness. The tragedy deeply shook her concept of reality,
disrupted her sense of right and wrong, and dismantled every conceivable notion
she’d established about herself and her relation to the world. Amy eventually realized
that she’d never have answers, or find personal peace, unless she went after them
herself. She drove across the country back to Gettysburg—the first time in three years
after graduation—to sift through hundreds of pages of public records: mental health
evaluations, detectives’ notes, inventories of evidence, search warrants, testimonies,
and even Kevin’s own confession.
This is Amy Butcher’s intensely personal, heart-wrenching account of the
consequence of failing her friend when she felt he needed one most. It’s the story of
how trauma affects memory and the way a friendship changes and often strengthens
through seemingly insurmountable challenges. Ultimately, it’s a powerful testament to
the bonds we share with others and the profound resiliency and strength of the human
spirit.
✦Butcher is the 2014 recipient of the Iowa Review Award for Nonfiction, awarded
by David Shields, and has been nominated twice for a Pushcart Prize. Her work
has been featured in publications such as The Paris Review, Salon, The Rumpus,
The Kenyon Review, and many others.
✦The treatment of mental illness in America is at the forefront of the national
debate, and this book will be a deeply personal contribution to the discussion.

| My friend, the facts proved, had lost it, and I feared
I was losing it, as well. I felt sick, confused by a world that seemed
antithetical to the one I’d always known. My whole life, I’d believed
the universe depended upon everything fitting together—a quilt of
the most careful squares—but there was no fitting in what Kevin had
done. There was no place for his behavior.
It seemed chaos, plain and simple.
Every now and then, it crossed my mind to look up my own
symptoms: my fear, my agitation, my nightmares and obsessive
thoughts. How I spent whole hours imagining Kevin’s face, or the only
recollections I had of Emily, or the moments—however few—when
I could recall them alone together. The way I felt when it was night.
Or when I was in close proximity to a tub. Or with a man, or with a
stranger, or with someone I did not trust.
All these symptoms, both big and small, I wished were less a part
of me than they were.
Later, I’d undress and stand in the shower until the hot water
ran cold. I liked to feel it rush over me, imagine what was wrong as
something that could be scrubbed away, like dirt. My fear, panic,
all that confusion—I imagined it diluting and draining downwards,
spiraling, traveling through a complex network of pipes and into
rivers. I saw it float down the Mississippi. I saw it in the surf on a beach
in Mexico. I lathered my body slowly, always conscious of my feet: my
toenails, red and shining, against the clean, white, empty tub.

I WAS A CHILD
A Memoir
Bruce Eric Kaplan
A universally appealing and delightfully funny
illustrated memoir from Bruce Eric Kaplan,
the renowned New Yorker cartoonist.
Bruce Eric Kaplan, also known as BEK, is one of the most celebrated and admired
cartoonists in America. In I Was a Child, he examines his childhood in suburban New
Jersey, detailing the small moments we all experience—going to school, playing with
friends in the afternoon, family dinners, watching TV on a hot summer night, and
so on. It would seem like a conventional childhood, although Kaplan’s anecdotes are
accompanied by his signature drawings of family outings and life at home—road
trips, milk boxes, hamsters, ashtrays, a toupée, a platypus, and much more. Kaplan’s
images, while simple, are never straightforward; they encompass an easy irony and
a dark humor that often cut straight to the truth of experience. You can spend an
entire childhood trying to figure out who your family is, and why families on TV and
even next door are so different. As children, we are all stuck in a certain situation, in
a certain time, and those circumstances all shape, push, and prod us into who we
become. Brilliantly relatable and genuinely moving, I Was a Child is about our attempts
to understand the mysteries that are our parents, families, and ultimately, ourselves.
✦With his singular illustration style and distinctive “BEK” signature, Kaplan’s work is
widely recognized and beloved by millions of New Yorker readers.
✦Illustrated memoirs are having a moment as evidenced by recent bestsellers by
Roz Chast and Bob Mankoff.
✦Kaplan’s high profile in Hollywood and television will make his story irresistible
to media.

HUSTLING HITLER
The Jewish Vaudevillian Who Fooled the Führer
Walter Shapiro
From acclaimed journalist Walter Shapiro, the truelife story of how his great-uncle—a Jewish vaudeville
impresario and exuberant con man—managed to
cheat Hitler’s agents in the run-up to WWII.
Vaudeville manager, boxing promoter, oil-stock swindler, card shark, and self-crowned
“Jade King of China,” Freeman Bernstein was a master of flamboyant excess and often
posed for police mug shots. But even after a life on the fringes of the law, nothing
compared to the sting that got him arrested on a fugitive warrant around midnight on
February 18, 1937, after leaving Mae West’s apartment in Hollywood. He was charged
with ripping off the Nazis by selling Hitler’s henchmen carloads of rusted auto bodies
and dented tin cans instead of high-grade Canadian nickel.
All his life, author Walter Shapiro assumed that the outlandish stories about his
great-uncle Freeman were exaggerated pieces of family lore—a cockamamy Jewish
revenge fantasy against the Nazis. It was only after his father’s death in 2004 that
Shapiro decided to search for the truth in obscure New York court files, yellowed
newspaper clips, and his great-uncle’s long-lost 1937 pamphlet: “Was Hitler NickelJacked?” As he re-creates Bernstein’s remarkable life, Shapiro belatedly realizes that
his great-uncle—born in Troy, New York, in 1873—pulled off one of the great scams of
the 1930s with the Nazis as victims.
Shapiro’s narrative naturally evokes Bernstein’s colorful world: from the smell
of the greasepaint backstage in seedy turn-of-the-century vaudeville houses to
his marriage to a burlesque star (whom he later claimed was kidnapped by “white
slavers”) to the 1929 Boston Irish festival he ran (and ran off with gate receipts)
under the preposterous name of Roger O’Ryan. But nothing matched his Hitler hustle
and his claims that he met with the Führer himself—who, on the occasion, spoke
perfect English.
✦Fans of books like The Devil in the White City or The Monuments Men will find
Freeman Bernstein and his remarkable life both vastly entertaining and almost
hard to believe.
✦Shapiro is one of the most respected, well-connected, and accomplished
journalists out there, having written for The Washington Post, Time, Esquire,
Newsweek, USA Today, and Salon, and is currently a special correspondent for The
New Republic. The media will come out in support of this one-of-a-kind story.

| Maybe, as they claimed, the two LA detectives
got lucky in arresting Freeman by tailing a limousine that
was cruising through Hollywood in a suspicious manner.
(Of course, even in 1937, being driven while Jewish was
not a crime.) The police may have been quietly monitoring
Mae West’s apartment, which Freeman had just left. But the
most likely explanation is that Freeman Bernstein—whom
Variety once described as “the small-time agent with the big
time nerve,” who promoted his extravagant hustles on four
continents, who believed in the P. T. Barnum power of bunkum
and ballyhoo—simply couldn’t hide in plain sight. Finding
Freeman in Hollywood required about as much detective
work as locating Lou Gehrig at first base at Yankee Stadium.

SUPERSTORM
Nine Days Inside Hurricane Sandy
Kathryn Miles
The first complete moment-by-moment
account of the largest Atlantic storm system
ever recorded—a hurricane like no other
The sky was lit by a full moon on October 29, 2012, but nobody could see it.
Everything had been consumed by cloud. The storm’s immensity caught the
attention of scientists on the International Space Station. Even from there,
it seemed almost limitless: 1.8 million square feet of tightly coiled bands so
huge they filled the windows of the Station. It was the largest storm anyone
had ever seen.
Initially a tropical storm, Sandy had grown into a hybrid monster. It
charged across open ocean, picking up strength with every step, baffling
meteorologists and scientists, officials and emergency managers, even the
traditional maritime wisdom of sailors and seamen: What exactly was this
thing? By the time anyone decided, it was too late to issue proper warning.
And then the storm made landfall.
Sandy was bigger and weirder than any hurricane—it broke all the rules.
As a result, the entire nation was left flat-footed. The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration couldn’t issue reliable warnings; the Coast Guard
didn’t know what to do. In Superstorm, journalist Kathryn Miles takes readers
inside the maelstrom, detailing the stories of dedicated professionals at the
National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service. The characters
include a forecaster who risked his job to sound the alarm in New Jersey, the
crew of the ill-fated tall ship Bounty, Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Christie,
and countless coastal residents whose homes—and lives—were torn apart
and then left to wonder . . . When is the next superstorm coming?

FOXCATCHER
The True Story of My Brother’s Murder, John du Pont’s
Madness, and the Quest for Olympic Gold
Mark Schultz
A riveting narrative—soon to be a highprofile film—of Olympic wrestling champion
brothers Mark Schultz and Dave Schultz and
their fatal relationship with the eccentric
John du Pont, heir to the du Pont dynasty
On January 22, 1996, Dave Schultz, Olympic gold medal winner and wrestling
champion, was shot in the back by du Pont family heir John E. du Pont at the
famed Foxcatcher Farms estate in Pennsylvania. Following the murder there
was a tense standoff when du Pont barricaded himself in his home for two days
before he was finally captured.
Foxcatcher is Mark Schultz’s vivid portrait of the complex relationship
he and his brother had with du Pont, a man whose catastrophic break from
reality led to tragedy. No one knows the inside story of what went on behind
the scenes at Foxcatcher Farms—and inside John du Pont’s head—better than
Mark Schultz.
A movie based on Mark’s memoir, also titled Foxcatcher and directed by
Bennett Miller of Moneyball and Capote fame—starring Channing Tatum,
Steve Carell, and Mark Ruffalo—is scheduled to be released in Fall 2014. The
incredible true story of these gold medal–winning brothers and the wealthiest

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL
The Real Story of My Mother and Me
Brooke Shields
Actress and author of the New York Times
bestseller Down Came the Rain Brooke Shields’s
new memoir explores her relationship with her
unforgettable mother, Teri.
© All photos courtesy of the author
Brooke Shields never had what anyone would consider an ordinary life. Raised by her
Newark-tough single mom, Teri, Brooke’s early years seemed magical. She was such a
beautiful baby that at eleven months old she became a model, the start of a career that
made Brooke the most famous child, and then teen, of her generation.
Teri’s skills as both mom and manager were formidable—she chose great projects
for Brooke, such as the Cannes Palme d’Or winner Pretty Baby, the huge hit The Blue
Lagoon, and the iconic Endless Love. On set, she fiercely protected Brooke from the
temptations that waylaid so many child stars. But in private she was troubled and
drank so much that thirteen-year-old Brooke staged an intervention.
While the bond Teri created with Brooke was incredible, it could also be stifling,
making it difficult for Brooke to become her own person. As Brooke grew into
adulthood the pair made choices and sacrifices that would affect their relationship
forever. But when Teri died in 2012, Brooke was by her side, loving and conflicted
to the end. Only Brooke knows the truth of the remarkable, difficult, scarred, and
complicated woman who was her mother. And now, she’ll share her story with the
world.

NO FORTUNATE SON
A Novel
Brad Taylor
In the latest thriller in the New York Times bestselling
Pike Logan series from retired Delta Force operator
Brad Taylor, a hostage situation places America’s most
powerful political elite at the mercy of its worst enemies.
When veteran operator Pike Logan and partner Jennifer Cahill receive a letter from
Blaisdell Consulting—the umbrella cover company for their real employer, a top
secret counterterrorist unit called the Taskforce—they expect orders for their next
mission-impossible tasking. Instead, they learn that their latest actions have gotten
them fired, despite having saved thousands of innocent lives.
Pike’s shock and fury is redirected when their commander, Colonel Kurt Hale,
asks him and Jennifer for help with a personal matter: His niece Kylie, an exchange
student in England, has gone missing. Neither Pike nor Jennifer understands how
critical her disappearance will become.
Meanwhile, all Taskforce teams have been redirected to a developing situation.
A terrorist organization has targeted military relatives of key members of the US
government, including the vice president’s son. Their seizure of hostages was farreaching and meticulously coordinated, and the full extent of the threat—and
potential demands—has thrown the government into turmoil. They face a terrible
choice: Cease counterterrorist operations or watch hostages die one by one. How
much is a single life worth? Unless the Taskforce can decipher the web of lies devised
by their enemies, the United States is about to find out.

LOST & FOUND
A Novel
Brooke Davis
Soon to be published in twenty-three countries,
an irresistible debut novel about the wisdom of the
very young, the mischief of the very old, and the
magic that happens when no one else is looking
Millie Bird, seven years old and ever hopeful, always wears red gumboots to match her
curly hair. Her struggling mother, grieving the death of Millie’s father, leaves her in the
big ladies’ underwear department of a local store and never returns.
Agatha Pantha, eighty-two, has not left her house—or spoken to another human
being—since she was widowed seven years ago. She fills the silence by yelling at
passersby, watching loud static on TV, and maintaining a strict daily schedule.
Karl the Touch Typist, eighty-seven, once used his fingers to type out love notes
on his wife’s skin. Now that she’s gone, he types his words out into the air as he speaks.
Karl’s been committed to a nursing home, but in a moment of clarity and joy, he
escapes. Now he’s on the lam.
Brought together at a fateful moment, the three embark upon a road trip across
Western Australia to find Millie’s mother. Along the way, Karl wants to find out how to
be a man again; Agatha just wants everything to go back to how it was.
Together they will discover that old age is not the same as death, that the young
can be wise, and that letting yourself feel sad once in a while just might be the key to
a happy life.
✦In the tradition of Where’d You Go, Bernadette, The Rosie Project,
and The Unlikely
Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Lost & Found is one of those wise and funny novels that, in
a feat of spare yet powerful storytelling, plumbs the depths of the meaning of life
and keeps readers laughing, wondering, and hoping as they turn every page.

| Millie grips the jar while she watches for gold shoes
all afternoon. And when afternoon becomes night, and the
last door is clicked shut, and everything else goes black—
the air, the sound, the earth—it feels as though the whole
world is closing. She presses her face against the window,
cups her hands around her eyes, and watches people walk
back to their cars with other people, husbands and wives and
girlfriends and boyfriends and children and grandmothers
and daughters and fathers and mothers. And they all drive off,
every last one of them, until the car park is so empty that it
makes her eyes hurt.
She crawls back under the Ginormous Women’s Underwear
and takes a sandwich out of her backpack. As she eats it, she
watches the mannequin through the gap in the undies. He
watches back. Hello, she whispers. The only other sound, a
humming from the lights in the display cabinets.

CRASH & BURN
A Novel
Lisa Gardner
The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s latest heartpounding stand-alone thriller, with a cameo by her
fan-favorite character, Boston Detective D.D. Warren
My name is Nicky Frank. Except, most likely, it isn’t.
Nicole Frank shouldn’t have been able to survive the car accident, much less crawl up
the steep ravine. Not in the dark, not in the rain, not with her injuries. But one thought
allows her to defy the odds and flag down help: Vero.
I’m looking for a little girl. I have to save her. Except, most likely, she doesn’t exist.
Sergeant Wyatt Foster is frustrated when even the search dogs can’t find any trace
of the mysterious missing child. Until Nicky’s husband, Thomas, arrives with a host
of shattering revelations: Nicole Frank suffers from a rare brain injury and the police
shouldn’t trust anything she says.
My husband claims he’ll do anything to save me. Except, most likely, he can’t.
Who is Nicky Frank, and what happened the night her car sailed off the road? Was it
a random accident or something more sinister given the woman’s lack of family and
no close friends? The deeper Wyatt digs, the more concerned he becomes. Because
it turns out, in the past few months, Nicky has suffered from more than one close
accident. . . . In fact, it would appear someone very much wants her dead.
This is my life. Except, most likely, it’s not. Now watch me crash and burn.

A Novel
Jussi Adler-Olsen
The New York Times and #1 international
bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen’s first
stand-alone novel, a psychological thriller set
in World War II Germany and 1970s England
January 11, 1944, British pilots James Teasdale and Bryan Young have been chosen to
conduct a special photo-reconnaissance mission near Dresden, Germany. Intelligence
believes the Nazis are building new factories that could turn the tide of the war. When
their plane is shot down, James and Bryan know they will be executed if captured.
With an enemy patrol in pursuit, they manage to jump aboard a train reserved for
senior SS soldiers wounded on the eastern front.
In a moment of desperation, they throw two patients off the train and take their
places, hoping they can escape later. But their act is too convincing and they end up in
the Alphabet House, a mental hospital located far behind enemy lines, where German
doctors subject their patients to daily rounds of shock treatments and experimental
drugs. The pilots’ only hope of survival is to fake insanity until the war ends, but their
friendship and courage are put to the ultimate test when James and Bryan realize they
aren’t the only ones in the Alphabet House feigning madness.
Millions of fans around the world—and in this country—know Adler-Olsen for

THE INTERSTELLAR AGE
Inside the Forty-Year Voyager Mission
Jim Bell
The Voyager spacecraft are our farthest-flung
emissaries—11.3 billion miles away from the crew
who built and still operate them, decades since their
launch. This is the story of the men and women who
drove the mission—now in interstellar space—told by
a scientist who was there from the beginning.
Voyager 1 left the solar system in 2013; its sister craft, Voyager 2, will do so in 2015. The
fantastic journey began in 1977, before the first episode of Cosmos aired. The mission
was planned as a grand tour beyond the moon; beyond Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn;
and maybe even into interstellar space. The fact that it actually happened makes this
humanity’s greatest space mission.
In The Interstellar Age, award-winning planetary scientist Jim Bell reveals what
drove and continues to drive the members of this extraordinary team, including Ed
Stone, Voyager’s chief scientist and the one-time head of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab;
Charley Kohlhase, an orbital dynamics engineer who helped to design many of the
critical slingshot maneuvers around planets that enabled the Voyagers to travel so
far; the grad students investigating the outer solar system; and the geologist whose
Earth-bound experience would prove of little help in interpreting the strange new
landscapes revealed in the Voyagers’ astoundingly clear images of moons and planets.
Speeding through space at a mind-bending eleven miles a second, Voyager 1 is
now beyond our planets. It carries with it artifacts of human civilization. By the time
Voyager passes its first star in about 40,000 years, the gold record on the spacecraft,
containing various images and music, including Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” will
still be playable.
PRAISE FOR THE INTERSTELLAR AGE
“Part scientific autobiography, part top-notch
science writing, Jim Bell’s book is a welcome addition
to the history of the Voyager missions.”

The Voyagers are leaving us, leaving the protective
bubble of our Sun and crossing over into the uncharted
territory between the stars. They are now interstellar travelers.
Via their technology, their discoveries, and the messages that
they are delivering to the galaxy on our behalf, we have all
entered the Interstellar Age. This is the ultimate legacy of the
men and women and machines of Voyager mission: As we learn
and grow as a species, as we continue to grasp the enormous
fragility of our existence and the fleeting nature of habitable
environments in our solar system, we must adapt and move on.
In the long run—the very long run—we will have to leave our
sun’s cradle and move out into the stars. The Interstellar Age
is the inevitable future of humankind, and the Voyagers are
critically important first steps along that path.
This book is an opportunity to witness what historians of
the future will no doubt regard as one of the most incredible
voyages of exploration—both human and robotic—ever
attempted.

MRS. GRANT AND MADAME JULE
A Novel
Jennifer Chiaverini
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini
imagines the inner life of Julia Grant, beloved as a Civil War
general’s wife and the First Lady, yet who grappled with a
profound and complex relationship with the slave who was
her namesake—until she forged a proud identity of her own.
In 1844, Missouri belle Julia Dent met dazzling horseman Lieutenant Ulysses S Grant.
Four years passed before their parents permitted them to wed, and the groom’s
abolitionist family refused to attend the ceremony.
Since childhood, Julia owned as a slave another Julia, known as Jule. Jule guarded
her mistress’s closely held twin secrets: She had perilously poor vision but was gifted
with prophetic sight. So it was that Jule became Julia’s eyes to the world.
And what a world it was, marked by gathering clouds of war. The Grants vowed
never to be separated, but as Ulysses rose through the ranks—becoming general in
chief of the Union Army—so did the stakes of their pact. During the war, Julia would
travel, often in the company of Jule and the four Grant children, facing unreliable
transportation and certain danger to be at her husband’s side.
Yet Julia and Jule saw two different wars. While Julia spoke out for women—
Union and Confederate—she continued to hold Jule as a slave behind Union lines.
Upon the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Jule claimed her freedom and
rose to prominence as a businesswoman in her own right, taking the honorary title
Madame. The two women’s paths continued to cross throughout the Grants’ White
House years in Washington, DC, and later in New York City, the site of Grant’s Tomb.
Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule is the first novel to chronicle this singular
relationship, bound by sight and shadow.

THE VALLEY
A Novel
John Renehan
Former US Army Third Infantry Division Captain
John Renehan’s first novel, a gripping and shattering
portrait of a ragged fighting division holding the most
remote and dangerous outpost in Afghanistan
“Fifteen-six, son. It’s your turn.”
Army Regulation 15-6 governs investigations of misconduct within a military unit.
Black knew that 15-6 officers were assigned by computer at the division headquarters. It
was essentially random.
“When are the men coming in, sir?”
“They’re busy fighting a war, Lieutenant. They’re not coming back for this. You’re
going to them.”
Busy fighting a war. Black didn’t miss the unspoken part.
“Roger, sir. Where are they located?”
“Combat Outpost Vega. You’re going up the Valley.”
There were many valleys in the mountains of Afghanistan, and most were hard places
where people died hard deaths. But there was only one Valley. Black didn’t even know
its proper name. But he knew about the Valley. It was the farthest, and the hardest, and
the worst. It lay deeper and higher in the mountains than any other place Americans
had ventured. You had to travel through a network of interlinked valleys, past all
the other remote American outposts, just to get to its mouth. Stories circulated
periodically, tales of land claimed and fought for, or lost and overrun, new attempts
made or turned back, outposts abandoned and reclaimed. They were impossible to
verify. Everything about the Valley was myth and rumor.
The strung-out platoon Black finds after traveling deep into the heart of the Valley,
and the illumination of the dark secrets accumulated during month after month
fighting and dying in defense of an indefensible piece of land, provide a portrait of
men at war reminiscent of Apocalypse Now, Restrepo, The Yellow Birds, and Matterhorn.

house and what do you want us to do? And command comes back: Hold

Black and Caine stumped up two plywood steps between split-level
corridors.
“Which was?”
“Two weeks,” Caine answered scornfully. “Two fucking weeks of holding

“Wow,” Black said flatly, and meant it.
The modern military had a low tolerance for sending its soldiers into the
kind of unplanned, uncontrolled, outnumbered, seat-of-the-pants situations
that featured more prominently in older and more desperate wars.
“‘Wow’ is right,” Caine said. “That was some fucking real-deal, old-school
Vietnam firebase style, dump-your-ass-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-andhope-for-the-best bullshit right there.”
“Out there flappin’,” Black offered.
“Out. There. Flapping.”
“And we’re like, for how long? And they say: Until relieved.”

MEET ME IN ATLANTIS
My Quest to Find the 2,500-Year-Old Sunken City
Mark Adams
The intrepid, insightful, and hilarious Mark Adams
follows his acclaimed New York Times bestseller
Turn Right at Machu Picchu by attempting to
uncover the truth behind a legend that has
endured for millennia: the lost city of Atlantis.
A few years ago, Mark Adams made a strange discovery: Everything we know about
the legendary lost city of Atlantis comes from the work of one man, the Greek thinker
Plato. Then he made a second, stranger discovery: Amateur explorers are still actively
searching for this lost city all around the world, based entirely on the clues Plato left
behind.
Exposed to the Atlantis obsession, Adams decides to track down these people and
determine why they believe it’s possible to find the world’s most famous lost city and
whether any of their theories could prove or disprove its existence. He visits scientists
who use cutting-edge technology to find legendary civilizations once thought to be
fictional. He examines the numerical and musical codes hidden in Plato’s writings,
and with the help of some charismatic sleuths traces their roots back to Pythagoras,
the sixth-century BC mathematician. He learns how ancient societies transmitted
accounts of cataclysmic events—and how one might dig out the “kernel of truth” in
Plato’s original tale.
Meet Me in Atlantis is Adams’s enthralling account of his quest to solve one of
history’s greatest mysteries; a travelogue that takes readers to fascinating locations to
meet irresistible characters; and a deep, often humorous look at the human longing
to rediscover a lost world.
P R A I S E F O R T U R N R I G H T AT M AC H U P I CC H U
“Like all great travelogues (and this is certainly one),
Turn Right . . . should come with a fedora and a rucksack.”
—Men’s Journal
“A story that hooks readers early and then sails along so
interestingly that it’s one of those ‘can’t-put-it-down’ books.
What more could armchair adventurers want?”

GIRL UNDERWATER
A Novel
Claire Kells
An adventurous debut novel that cross cuts between a
competitive college swimmer’s harrowing days in the Rocky
Mountains after a major airline disaster and her recovery
supported by the two men who love her—only one of
whom knows what really happened in the wilderness.
Nineteen-year-old Avery Delacorte loves the water. Growing up in Brookline,
Massachusetts, she took swim lessons at her community pool and captained the local
team; in high school, she raced across bays and sprawling North American lakes.
Now a sophomore on her university’s nationally ranked team, she struggles under the
weight of new expectations but life is otherwise pretty good. Perfect, really.
That all changes when Avery’s red-eye home for Thanksgiving makes a ditch
landing in a mountain lake in the Colorado Rockies. She is one of only five survivors,
which includes three little boys and Colin Shea, who happens to be her teammate.
Colin is also the only person in Avery’s college life who challenged her to swim her
own events, to be her own person—something she refused to do. Instead she’s avoided
him since the first day of freshman year. But now, faced with sub-zero temperatures,
minimal supplies, and the dangers of a forbidding nowhere, Avery and Colin must rely
on each other in ways they never could’ve imagined.
In the wilderness, the concept of survival is clear-cut. Simple. In the real world,
it’s anything but.
| I’ve always loved the water. My earliest memory is opening my eyes in my neighbor’s
pool and seeing the world through this different state of being. It shocked no one when I
begged for swim lessons at the age of three—far younger than my older, more adventuresome
brothers. When my mother saw me flying off the high-dive the summer before kindergarten,
she was horrified, but not surprised. She wanted to ban me from the pool for a week, but my
dad had a different idea: Put her on the swim team.
After the crash, my instincts changed. Even the smallest children know not to breathe
underwater, but somehow, my mind railed against everything I’d ever known. I thought it was
permanent.
I thought fear was forever.

A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES
A Lynley Novel
Elizabeth George
The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s awardwinning Inspector Lynley series returns with another
character-driven crime drama featuring beloved
Scotland Yard members Detective Sergeant Barbara
Havers and Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley.
Elizabeth George first claimed a spot on the New York Times bestseller list in 1994.
Two decades later her Lynley novels are still at the top of national bestseller lists,
proving how vast and loyal her audience is. Critics and fans alike cherish Inspector
Lynley, eighth Earl of Asherton, and Sergeant Havers, his working-class partner, for
their believably irascible relationship as much as for their uncanny ability to solve
the most challenging cases. And in her twentieth Inspector Lynley novel, A Banquet of
Consequences, George delivers another winner as Lynley and Havers are drawn from
Cambridge to London to the windswept town of Shaftesbury during one of their most
complex cases yet: the murder of a feminist writer and speaker.

ONE NIGHT
A Novel
Eric Jerome Dickey
The New York Times bestselling author checks
in to the hotel of readers’ dreams for an ardent
romantic adventure that lasts just One Night.
With more than twenty previous novels, Eric Jerome Dickey has built an enormous
fan base through a combination of sexy, unputdownable writing and indefatigable
promoting. He lives on the road, dedicating himself to his readers and his work, and it
shows. Every year of the twenty-first century, Dickey’s latest book has appeared on the
New York Times bestseller list. In 2015, One Night will continue that tradition.
For one night, a couple checks in to an upscale hotel. The pair seem unlikely
companions, from opposing strata of society, but their attraction is palpable to all
who observe them—or overhear their cries of passion. In the course of twelve hours,
con games, erotic interludes, jealousy, violence, and murder swirl around them. Will
they part ways in bliss, in sorrow, or in death?
Filled with all the hallmarks of an Eric Jerome Dickey bestseller—erotic situations,
edge-of-your-seat twists and turns, and fun, believable relationships—One Night will
delight Dickey’s existing fans and lure countless new ones.
