Below are new books by our clients which released in January & February 2010 (in alphabetical order by author and descriptions from publisher’s web sites).

January 2010

Dreams That Won’t Let Go – Stacy Hawkins Adams
Revell

Indigo Burns is excited. Her wedding preparations to the man of her dreams are under way, her photography career is a success, and her family seems to be doing better than ever–all except her brother Reuben, who nobody has seen in years. But that’s about to change.

When Reuben decides to move back home to Jubilant, Texas, he hopes to find healing with his sisters. But Indigo isn’t so sure their relationship can be mended. And when younger sister Yasmin makes a life-altering choice, it seems like only a miracle can put the Burns family back together.

Will they ever be able love unconditionally and release each other to live their dreams?

 


 

Jenna’s Cowboy – Sharon Gillenwater
Revell

Can you ever get a second chance at your first love?

Jenna Callahan Colby thought she was content. A partner on her father’s successful ranch, she is surrounded by family and friends. But she never expected to see Nate Langley back in town–the first guy she ever noticed, the one her father sent away all those years ago.

And she never thought the attraction they felt would be as strong as ever.

Jenna’s cowboy has some healing of his own to do, though, after two tours of duty in the armed forces. With the help of good friends, strong faith, and a loving family, he hopes to put the horrors of the past behind him–and become the man Jenna deserves.

“Settle down with a tall glass of sweetened ice tea and immerse yourself in Sharon Gillenwater’s story of second chances. Jenna’s Cowboy is filled with Texas charm and the healing power of love.”
–Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author


The Bride Blunder – Kelly Eileen Hake
Barbour
Come on down for a real family feud in this witty romance, the second novel in Kelly Eileen Hake’s Prairie Promises series. In the Nebraskan Territory of 1857, the longstanding feud between their two families makes Opal Speck desperate to save the life of the Grogan who once pulled her from a burning building. Will her big white lie-that Adam is the father of her unborn child-land in enemy territory for the rest of her life? Find out how Adam and Opal deal with the repercussions of their shotgun wedding in The Bride Backfire! 


 

Living as a Christian: Teachings from First Peter
– A.W. Tozer, edited by James L. Snyder
Regal Books
In this never-before published collection of teachings on 1 Peter, adapted from sermons given to his parishioners, Tozer examines what it means to call oneself a “Christian.” In his view, to be a recipient of God’s salvation is to become “the pride of all heaven,” indestructible and able to withstand anything and everything that seeks to undermine one’s faith. The epistle of 1 Peter was written to a group of just such Christians, to encourage them to live in the center of God’s redeeming love. Through Tozer’s incomparable teaching and commentary, this ancient letter becomes a fresh and life-infusing admonition for today’s Christian! 


 

February 2010

Double Trouble – Susan May Warren
Tyndale
With one solved case under her belt, PJ Sugar is ready to dive into her career as a private investigator. Or at least a PI’s assistant until she can prove herself to Jeremy Kane, her new boss. Suddenly PJ’s seeing crime everywhere. But is it just in her head, or can she trust her instincts? When she takes on her first official case—house-sitting for a witness in protective custody—Jeremy assures her there’s no danger involved. But it soon becomes clear that there is someone after the witness . . . and now they’re after PJ, too.

A Volatile Industry

Yesterday's blog linked you to some fascinating articles about the publishing industry. One friend wrote an insightful comment on the blog and cited the article where Boris Kachka proclaimed “The End” on September 14, 2008 in New York Magazine.

To illustrate how volatile this industry is, let's look at two of the people featured in the article. Jane Friedman is no longer the CEO of …

Is This the End of Publishing?

You owe it to yourself to read the following links and then watch the embedded video. We are all quite aware that the book publishing industry is in the throes of considerable change. Sales channels are shifting and marketing channels have splintered.

Some folks are dismayed by this, and others see it as opportunity. But, as usual, a middle ground can be found. And that middle ground is …

Is Print Dead?

There is an unsettling myth being perpetuated about the death of print books. The news of print's demise is simply not true. It sounds a bit like Mark Twain having to write a note to a reporter saying "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

To fully explain I need to start with the music industry.
The impression is that all sales are now digital. And iTunes has killed the physical CD. …

To your left is an actual picture of the pile of proposals our office has received since December 1, 2009. About 30 days worth of incoming mail...during a slow time of the year. The stack of books next to the pile include books sent for review (consideration) and recent publications that I want to look at.

That does not include the myriad of email submissions we get (many simply ignoring our …

This is one of my favorite times of the year. The Christmas glow is still present and since the publishing world is, in essence, on vacation, it is a perfect time to to reflect on the past twelve months.

This was a hard year for many as the economy touched everyone in some way. And yet, despite the ominous cloud of doom and gloom, there were many exciting things to celebrate.

On a personal …

Art of War for Writers

Periodically I plan to recommend a title or two for you to read. I've always enjoyed this form of "word-of-mouth" marketing, thus I will "pay it forward." :-)

Yesterday afternoon I received James Scott Bell's The Art of War for Writers: fiction writing strategies, tactics, and exercises (published by Writer's Digest Books). With interest I took the book home and devoured it. Not literally of …

The Wave of Digital Creativity in Books

I went to high school in Hawaii (I know.. a rough life) where I learned the joys and perils of body surfing. That experience is a great metaphor for the new "waves" of digital revolution we are seeing in the publishing world.

The key to great body surfing is waiting for the right wave and then time your push just right. The ride is exhilarating (I still remember riding inside the tube of a …

Like many going into the 2009 ICRS convention (aka CBA or the Christian Booksellers Association convention) I was wondering what would be found. It was great to see that instead of the projected doom and gloom there was light and hope. (Yes, that is Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber in the photo to the left - courtesy of Christian Retailing Magazine.) A few observations:

Today is the official opening of the convention in Denver. This year will be my 28th consecutive ICRS (International Christian Retail Show) or CBA as we veterans still call it (Christian Booksellers Association Convention). I absolutely love the experience. I've attended as a retailer, as an exhibitor, and now as an "industry professional." I find it amusing that each name badge is color-coded to …
