decessor, Avin Domnitz, and his passionate belief that the best educational
tools would help independent bookstores reinvent themselves. Teicher,
along with several past ABA presidents, presented an award in Domnitzs
honor to Domnitzs wife, Rita.
Challenges still remain. The actions of some publishers, at times, seem
as if they are so focused on the short-term gains of direct sales to consumers
that they lose sight of the much greater potential that comes from directing
those sales to indie bookstores.
Teicher also called on booksellers to keep up with the unending changes
in technology. And he acknowledged that it will take hard work for independent stores to pay employees the living wage they deserve and stay on
top of real estate increases.
Ultimately, Teicher said, I remain optimistic and confident that the best

thought was a workable story that I could definitely bring to life. The story
came pretty quickly to him, and the idea for the art came quite quickly to
me. If we have fun making it, then kids will have fun reading it. And we definitely had fun making it!
Jeffers is pleased to be speaking at todays breakfast, noting, I am very
flattered to think that people might find what I have to say interesting. And I
feel as though Ive already been introduced to booksellers through The Day
the Crayons Quit, which I am grateful they have loved handselling. But I
should say, I think the sequel is even a better book than the first.
Rainbow Rowell, who made a splash in the YA
arena with 2013s Eleanor & Park and 2014s
Fangirl, returns to BEA to promote her newest
novel for teens, Carry On (St. Martins Griffin,
Sept.), which is written in a different vein than,
but was sparked by, her second YA novel. In
Fangirl, I wrote about Simon Snow, a fictional
character written by a fictional author, and about
two sisters who write fan fiction about Simon,
explains Rowell. I started thinking about how
Id write a story about a boy with magical powers,
and that led to Carry On.
In the novel, a combination ghost story, love
Rainbow Rowell
story, and mystery, evil forces are out to get
powerful magician Simon Snow during his last year at the Watford School of
Magicks. As a kid, my first obsession was with Star Wars, says Rowell. And
Ive spent a number of my adult years obsessed with Harry Potteroh, and I
also had a King Arthur period. These were powerful, chosen people, and I
began thinking about a young hero whos born into a similar position, how
unfair it would be to a kid to be told, We need you to fight a war to save the
world. These heroes never get to decide if they really want to fightand
they always have to trust the person who tells them that they have to.
Rowell is pleased to be back at BEA, where, she finds, Its really exciting to
experience all this buzzing energy. A first-time attendee of the Childrens
Book and Author Breakfast, the author notes, I want to take this opportunity

Whats Buzzing in
Middle Grade
BEAs perennially popular Middle-Grade Editors Buzz Panel, this year
moderated by Sara Hines, co-owner of Eight Cousins Bookstore, in
Falmouth, Mass., takes place today, in Room 1E12/1E13, 1111:50 a.m. Heres
a preview of what attendees can expect to hear about panelists high expectations for the novels theyre spotlighting, as well as their observations on
the value of this forum.
David Levithan, Scholastic v-p, publisher, and editorial director, on Alex Ginos George: When people
look at George, they think they see a boy. But she
knows shes not a boy. She knows shes a girl. When
her teacher announces that their class play is going
to be Charlottes Web, George really wants to play
Charlotte, but shes not even allowed to try out for
the partbecause shes a boy. With the help of her
best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plannot
just so she can be Charlotte, but so everyone can
know who she is, once and for all. This is an amazing
book. And its also an important book. Alex brilliantly breaks new ground, and does it with a sweet touch thats unafraid to
show its happiness.
When editors have a book they love, the natural inclination is to shout
about it from every rooftop imaginable. And BEA is a damn effective rooftop.
Martha Mihalick, senior editor, Greenwillow, on The Doldrums, by
Nicholas Gannon: Archer B. Helmsley yearns for an adventure, so together
with his two best friends, he schemes to rescue his
grandparents, famous explorers who went missing
on an iceberg. Gannon has a limitless imagination
and a sly sense of humor, and the immense talent
necessary to bring them onto the page both in art
and writing. The artwork is at once precise in detail
and wide in scope, showing the reader not just individual moments but the whole world his characters
inhabit.
Introducing a distinctive new talent and a special
book to a room full of passionate readerswhat
could be better? To give booksellers insights behind
a story and an author that they can share with their customers is such a
meaningful opportunity.
Nancy Paulsen, president and publisher, Penguin/
Nancy Paulsen Books, on Lisa Lewis Tyres Last in a
Long Line of Rebels: When Lou uncovers the Civil
Warera diary of her great-great-great-grandmother, she learns some mind-boggling things about
her familys past. This debut novel explores, in an
accessible way, how where we come from can affect
where we are going. Lisa introduces some of the
most memorable, self-possessed characters Ive
met. Her voice jumps off the page, bringing delicious, laugh-out-loud life to a small Tennessee town.
Her book is full of the wonder of growing up and
realizing the world and your family might be crazy and full of contradictions, but if you listen and try to communicate, you just might be able to hear
each other and understand.
I believe that the value of this buzz panel is the chance to highlight a
fresh and funny middle-grade voice, and to bring attention to some of the
fine literary writing in this genre.
Elise Howard, publisher and editor, Algonquin Young Readers, on The
Entirely True Story of the Unbelievable FIB, by Adam Shaughnessy: This
launches a new series in which Prudence Potts and
her new friend ABE receive an invitation to join the
Fantasy Investigation Bureau and soon discover
theres a whole world beneath the surface of their
towna world where Viking gods are on the brink of
a war that they must somehow stop. This novel from
a debut author is remarkable in numerous ways: it
combines engaging protagonists, a great but not
obvious villain, an intriguing mystery adventure,
wordplay and puzzles, a sure command of Norse
mythology, and terrific writing.
Having a buzz panel title selected sparks buyer
interest, industry word of mouth, and foreign and subsidiary rights inquiries. I even see in-house interest spike.

After 18 bestselling books, two hit Disney movies, and 15 years, Meg Cabots Princess Diaries
series is coming to an end when Royal Wedding
(Morrow) hits stores in June. Were so excited
to be publishing the latest installmentand the
first adult novelabout Princess Mia
Thermopolis, says Jennifer Hart, senior v-p,
associate publisher, and group marketing
director. So many readers grew up with Mia,
and now, as Mia is beginning her adult life, they
too have struck out on their own. With Royal
Wedding, Meg has once again delivered a hilarious and heartfelt novel her fans will not only
identify with, but love.
This will actually be the second farewell for the
Princess Diaries. Six years ago, after Princess
Mia graduated from high school in Forever
Princess, it was decided to end the series. We
had a huge event at the New York Public Library
with all sorts of celebrities making tiaras, Cabot
recalls, and we raised lots of money for the
library. But then readers kept writing and telling
me they wanted to see Mia have a wedding like
William and Kate. Cabot has now granted their
wishesunless a scandal (when its discovered
that Mias father has a biracial daughter) derails
her big day.

The Polish
Eagle Has
Landed
Aquila Polonica is a publishing house in Los
Angeles cofounded by Terry Tegnazian, a former
attorney, who became so interested in the Polish
experience in WWII she decided to specialize in
books that bring to light the Poles who bravely
helped underground resistance fighters.
The companys latest release, Julian Kulskis
The Color of Courage, is one example of the little-known part of WWII that was suppressed by
postwar communist propaganda
campaigns aimed at keeping the
West from supporting Poland, one
of its allies during the war. Kulski,
whose ancestors include a chief
rabbi of Warsaw and a king of
Poland, was a 10-year-old Boy Scout
when the Germans invaded Poland
in 1939. At the age of 12, he was
recruited by his scoutmaster into
the clandestine Underground Army
and trained in military tactics and
the use of weapons. At 13, Kulski
joined his commander on a secret
mission into the Warsaw ghetto to
assist the Jewish leadership. Taken
prisoner by the Germans and sent
to a POW camp, at 16 the war ended
for Kulski when he made a risky
dash for freedom onto an American
truck instead of waiting for liberation by the Soviets.
The 86-year-old Kulski lives in
Washington, D.C., and wrote The
Color of Courage in diary form

Ken Corday
The Gentle Art of Murder
Hey, ladies! Have any dark, murderous
thoughts? Ken Corday thinks you do, even if
youre loathe to admit it. In fact, hes sure you
do. From his perch in Hollywood, where he
produces NBCs daytime soap Days of Our
Lives, he knows that its common for wives,
especially wronged wives, to want to murder
their husbands. And hes dreamed up a book,
Ladies of the Lake (Beaufort Books, June),
where they do.
The novel, a first for Corday, features six
wives, six dead husbands, a number of offspring, and the L.A. police department. His favorite character is one of the husbands, who dies on page one.
His favorite female character? All of them, because they are beautiful,
wealthy, and lethal, but his most favorite is a grande dame named Margaret, modeled after actress Maggie Smith.
Its easy in the affluent community I live in to find models for my characters, he says. I was at a barbecue at a house near a lake, and I looked at the
wives present and thought, they are the ladies of the lake, and it dawned on
me I had the germ of a novel. But, he adds, Nobody I know would do anything monstrous.
The son of Ted and Betty Corday, who created Days of Our Lives 50 years
ago (there is a big celebration of the show this fall), Corday wrote a memoir
about his parents and their successful odyssey in show business (Sourcebooks, 2010).I enjoyed writing the first book so much, and Ive always
wanted to write a novel, he says. In fiction you dont have to be proper, you
can say things that are titillating. With my first book I couldnt go outside the
box.
In writing Ladies Corday borrowed a page from Stephen King, one of his
heroes, and Raymond Chandler, whose Lady of the Lake he greatly admires.
Those two authors are pillars of his writing, he says.
On the difference between producing a show for TV and writing a book for
publication, he says, A TV show is all-encompassing. The job is to watch the
shop from top to bottom. With writing, its all on you. You dont have a team. I
found it very refreshing. A mental health break.
Ken Corday signs ARCs today at noon at the Midpoint Trade Books booth
(1357). At BookCon, he will sign on Saturday at noon at Midpoints booth

The Queen of Four Kingdoms is dead. Agns Sorel, her beautiful and
innocent fourteen-year-old pupil, soon catches the attention of the mourning
court. As a trusted confidant of the deceased Queen Yolande, Agns
captivates all whom she meets, but none more so than the newly crowned
King of France, Charles VII.
Employed as a demoiselle to his wife, Queen Marie dAnjou, Agns finds
herself firmly ensconced in the royal court, and in the midst of her duties
discovers a burgeoning passion for the King that she can no longer refuse
or deny. As their relationship deepens and Agnss influence over the King
grows, she is viewed with suspicion by the court. Plagued by guilt but unable
to rebuff the Kings advances, Agns is forced to choose between her love for
Charles and her duty to herself.
In this extraordinary novel, Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent tells
the little-known story of Agns Sorel, the first royal mistress, and takes us
into the heart of a woman who knew that the possession of knowledge proves
to be the ultimate power.
her house for the night, she would have told them they were nuts. But
it happened.
An emotionally honest account, Far Outside the Ordinary chronicles
the period in Prissys life when, during a routine physical, her fiftyyear-old husband is given less than a year to live. Southern black
caregivers move into her home and work around the clock to aid
her family. Soon, Prissy finds herself a spectator in her own home,
observing events far outside the boundaries of her once ordinary life.
Far Outside the Ordinary is also a story of happily ever after, a
romantic fairy tale. When her high school boyfriend reappears in her
life, Prissy learns love has no expiration date. Sometimes a second
chance at love can come disguised, and when least expected.

English novelist Anthony Trollope. Alex reads Trollope to get away from
the grit of her job, and I have this thing about reading all of Trollope
before I die, Fairstein says. Right now, Im reading Phineas Redux.
Fairstein has always included characters who are readers in her bestselling series and insisted that part of Alexs character is shes always
reading a book. Harlan Coben, Lisa Scottoline, P.D. James, and Daphne du
Mauriers Rebecca have all been found on Alexs nightstand. Chapman is
always reading military history, crime fiction, and hardboiled detectives
such as Raymond Chandler. In The Devils Bridge, Chapman dives into
books by Coben and Michael Connelly. I usually include a nod to one of my
friends whos the competition, says Fairstein, laughing. I often hear from
readers that theyve bought titles mentioned in my books. and when I post
on social media about books Im reading, I always get feedback from readers who tell me they are going to the bookstore today.

an avid collector of sticks, rocks, and other natural tidbits, inspired Penguin
and Pinecone. One day, he found a pinecone, brought it home, and put it in
a box, recalls Yoon. He took it upstairs to his room, and asked me if Id
make a little blanket for it. It was the sweetest thing to see this little boy caring for this pinecone draped in a small piece of cloth, and I remember thinking how nurturing children naturally are. I kept this memory with me, and it
became the basis for my first Penguin story.
Penguins Big Adventure was also sparked by an interest of her children,
Yoon says. Her sons, now ages 10 and 11, are fascinated by feats recorded in
such works as the Guinness Book of World Records. Because of their interest in the ways people break records, I decided that Penguin should make it
his goal to be the first penguin ever to reach the North Pole, she says.
Once he does, he realizes that there are no other penguins there, but, true
to his character, he finds a new friend. Who is, of course, a polar bear.
Yoon branches out yet again in her next picture book, Be a Friend, due
from Bloomsbury in winter 2016, in which a boy who communicates only
through mime feels alienated until he finds a way to connect with a new
friend. This is a very important book for me, Yoon says. I have avoided
illustrating children for most of my career, since I wasnt comfortable doing
that. But when I developed the concept for Be a Friend, I just knew that the
characters had to be children.
A resident of San Diego, Calif., Yoon, attending her first BEA as an author,
is excited about participating in todays Speed Dating with Childrens

presents the adult teachers point of view, which was directly influenced
by her own teaching days. When you create a school, its a mini-world,
says Cross. Its this pressure cooker. The crisis Wilberforce faces is emotional, sexual, and spiritual, explains the author, but being set in 1926, she
believes she could write about sexuality more in terms of love and longing
in the classic tradition and less about orientation and identity seen in its
treatment today. Theres a tenderness about it because WWI was so traumatic, she says. I love being in that world.
Long after she hatched a childhood obsession with English boarding
schools, Cross married a Brit reared in that tradition. Her husband died
suddenly several years ago, and Cross says her bereavement informed
some of the most emotional parts of the plot in Wilberforce. Her British
stepson, she adds, served as her cricket adviser. As for the characters in
Wilberforce, Cross insists there are more stories to come, and FSG is marketing Wilberforce as the first part of a series, with huge in-house buzz
comparing the author to Evelyn Waugh and Donna Tart.

Scott Westerfeld
Investigating Crowd Power
A group of teens with unusual abilities are catapulted from zero to hero status in a YA trilogy
that kicks off with Zeroes (Simon Pulse, Sept.),
written by a trio: Scott Westerfeld, Margo
Lanagan, and Deborah Biancotti.
Zeroes is a new spin on the notion of crowdbased, explains Westerfeld, author of the
Uglies series and Leviathan trilogy, who initially hashed out the premise with Biancotti.
Deb and I got talking about friends of ours
who are TV writers and work as a group in a
room together, yelling at each other all day,
Westerfeld recalls. As prose writers and novelists, we mostly work on own, and we began
talking about how different it must be to activate that social part of your brain while
involved in an artistic process. So we co-opted Margo and got her involved,
started meeting at a pub once a week or so drinking beer and talking about
this book we wanted to write together.
This literary crowd of three decided to write a novel about teens whose
superpowers are crowdbased in some way. We came up with a cast of characters whose powers become stronger in a crowd, says Westerfeld. One is
blind when hes alone, but can see through anyone elses eyes, so becomes

omniscient in a crowd. Another is visible in the presence of one other person, but begins to disappear if more people arrive on the scene, and
becomes invisible in a crowd.
Each of the three authors was responsible for fleshing out two of Zeroess
six main protagonists, for whom they created detailed character studies.
We never actually sat down together to write, but we e-mailed a lot to one
another, Westerfeld says. And after the character studies were finished
and wed begun writing the story, we realized we really needed an outline,
and went off to spend some time in the Australian bush to create one.
The trilogys premise is well tailored to its collaborative creation, says
Westerfeld. When you think about it, collaboration is the human superpower, he muses. We cant actually fly, but when we have thousands of
people building airports and designing airplanes and learning to be pilots,
we can fly. With Zeroes, Barb and Margo and I are collaborating on a book
that is essentially about the power of collaboration.

Best known as the creator of SkippyJon Jones, the frisky Siamese who
thinks hes a Chihuahua, Judy Schachner has added a new member to her
family of animal characters. In Dewey Bob (Dial, Sept.), the title character is
a raccoon who lives alone in a house overflowing with beloved objects: buttons, wheels, furniture, and bric-a-brac that he finds and fixes, turning trash
into treasures. When he realizes theres one important thing his collection
is lackinga friendDewey Bob sets out to find one.
Ive always loved raccoons, says Schachner. In fact, I shared my first
apartment with a family of raccoons. Id hear them in the walls right behind
my bed at nightquite an otherworldly sound! And then the raccoon parents would bring their babies to
the window and hang on the
screens outside. I fed them
Oreos, and they ate them just
like human children do, separating the two sides of the cooking and licking the frosting.
Making Dewey Bob an
amasser of lost and tossed
things the world no longer has
use for was a natural move for
Schachner, who shares that
proclivity with her character.
Like Dewey, I am a collector of
various things that I like to
repurpose and rearrange, she
explains. He knows that the
one thing hes missing is a collection of friends, but as a nocturnal animal, when he meets
other animals in broad daylight, they get nervous and run
away from him. So he has to find a creative way to make a friend.
Though forever devoted to SkippyJon Jones, Schachner is pleased to
switch gears with Dewey Bob. This is a much gentler story, with a very different story line and style, she says. I still have stories to write about
Skippy, but I have so many other stories inside of me to tell that if I spent the
rest of my life just writing about Skippy I would not be a happy camper. And
Penguin has been so gracious and generous giving me free rein to create
this lovely character of Dewey Bob.
Schachner, who is working on a new Dewey Bob book, hopes that diehard
SkippyJon Jones fansespecially teacher members of what she calls the
Skippy cultembrace her raccoon character as well. When I first created
Skippy, I had done a number of books that did not involve animal characters,
she says. But SkippyJon was the character who caught fire. It made me realize that animal characters go directly to the hearts of kidsthey dont leave
anyone out. I hope readers identify with Dewey Bob in the same way.

on the corner where the girl waited with the gun. But I allowed Paterson
and Hackensack to change a little bit. At some point, I had to let go of the
real characters and the real place. She added a post script so that readers
can separate fact from fiction.
Stewart readily acknowledges that the Kopp sisters have taken over her
life. While she was writing Girl Waits with Gun, she worked on a series of
watercolorsshes been painting for the past decadeof gangsters from
that era using real mug shots. Her reading is now largely fiction from the
early 1900s, along with court records and newspaper clippings. I dont
think Im going to stumble on anything like this again. These women

Getting Wild
Who doesnt like a good Horatio
Alger story? Not that Smith College grad Meredith Wild was ever
exactly in rags, but still shes living
a type of rags-to-riches dream.
The self-published, tech-savvy
author did extremely well on her
own with her Hacker series featuring businesswoman Erica
Hathaway and her captivating billionaire love interest, Blake
Landon; it sold 1.2 million e-books
and 200,000 print-on-demand
trade paperbacks. This past
spring, Wild signed a seven-figure

A Sports Triumph
It would be hard to find a more passionate person about his or her work
than Mitch Rogatz, founder, president, and publisher of Triumph Books, but
when youre doing what you love, the enthusiasm shines through. Triumph
has been in business for 26 years, and as Rogatz puts it, We are the leading
publisher of sports books in the world. We micro-publish, we go to the
regional level because sports is all about emotions. Sports means connecting with your local team.
Rogatz entered the business world as a CPA with
Arthur Anderson, got his M.B.A., did some consulting
work, and decided to partner with a small press. He
approached Mike Ditka, coach of the Chicago Bears,
about doing a project, which resulted in Mike Ditka:
An Autobiography. He formed Triumph Books shortly
thereafter. One thing lead to another and I got
momentum and publishing relationships with the
NCAA, the NHL, the NFL, and so on. I started building my brand on the shoulders of other brands. We
built a well-focused, modest-sized publishing company, and found a little
niche and a formula that seems to worknot always, but most the time.
A perfect example is one of Triumphs milestones from 2001, a book about
the great racing car driver, Dale Earnhardt. Rogatz was in Wisconsin on a
family vacation when a colleague phoned and told him that Earnhardt had
died in a crash at the Daytona 500. Says Rogatz, He added that Walmart had
just called up and wanted to know if we were publishing a book about him. I
didnt know who this guy was, and I thought, If Walmart wants a book, he
must be someone. Triumph published Dale Earnhardt: Always A Champion three days later, and a week after that it hit #1 on the New York Times
bestseller list. It sold 163,000 copies.
Here at BEA, Triumph (booth 2841) is handing out a limited number of
ARCs of Giants Among Men: Y.A., L.T., the Big Tuna, and Other New York
Giants Stories (Sept.), by Pulitzer Prizewinning Ira Berkow, and the October reprint about hockey goaltending legend Patrick Roy, Patrick Roy: WinHilary S. Kayle
ning, Nothing Else, by his father, Michael Roy.
