Douglas Van Praet is executive vice president at Deutsch LA, where his responsibilities include being the group planning director for the iconic Volkswagen account. Van Praet is recognized as an industry expert in unconscious behaviorism and a pioneer in applying neurobiology to business problems. Praise: “Drawing upon the insights of behavioral science, Van Praet provides a seven-step, behavior-modification procedure. Useful insights that should benefit marketers big and small.” –Publishers Weekly “A provocative approach that should give pause to consumers as well as marketers.” --Kirkus “There are many researchers in advertising who can study a campaign and tell you what happened. There are precious few who can tell you why. Doug Van Praet is one of them.” –Eric Hirshberg, CEO, Activision Publishing Rights sold: Russian: Atticus Walker, Michael WHAT YOU WANT IS IN THE LIMO: Led Zeppelin, The Who, Alice Cooper, and the Rise of Rock in ‘73 (Spiegel & Grau, July 2013) Manuscript due January 2013 1973 was the year when authentic rock and roll excess hit its high point. It was the point at which the rock Gods officially ditched their connection to the Hippy pastoral of Woodstock, and the brief period before music was ruled by the big business stadium rock of Peter Frampton and Fleetwood Mac. Walker presents three major 1973 tours that epitomize the new rock ascendency before it became pre-packaged: Alice Cooper, The Who, and Led Zeppelin. In the spirit of books like Fred Goodman’s The Mansion on the Hill and Motley Crue’s The Dirt, Walker not only reveals the behind the scenes debauchery – like the small hotels outside of Buffalo where Alice Cooper descended into an alcoholic stupor – and the big center stage moments (when Zeppelin closed out their tour at Madison Square Garden with their very last Stairway to Heaven), but also discusses how music history got us to such an intense high point, only to quickly make it all disappear. Michael Walker has written for The New York Times, LA Times, Rolling Stone, among many other publications, and is the author of the national bestseller Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock and Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood (Faber & Faber, 2006).

TO WHAT MISERABLE WRETCHES HAVE I BEEN BORN? Revenge Poetry for Babies and Toddlers (Atria Books, April 2012) Hardcover Gift Book (112 pages) World English rights with Atria In a society over-saturated with books, magazines, blogs, reality shows, and YouTube videos aggressively conveying anyone and everyone’s latest advice on parenting, there still remains one important and unrepresented opinion…that of the baby!!! Fortunately, TO WHAT MISERABLE WRETCHES HAVE I BEEN BORN? has arrived to give voice to the pre-verbal. Through the unfiltered lens of a baby no longer willing to stay silent in the face of neurotic parenting, the most vital perspective on parenting is finally delivered. Although there has been some recent backlash to the over-anxious, “helicopter,” Tiger Mom style of parenting, the offspring of these über-parents have been wanting to lash back for a long time. TO WHAT MISERABLE WRETCHES HAVE I BEEN BORN? gives frustrated babies and toddlers a soapbox on which to stand (or sit or have tummy-time). From a poem about swaddling titled Where are my hands??? to the poem, Cease and Desist, which decries the exploitation of a baby’s intellectual property when parents post humiliating home videos online, modern parents will be forced to examine their approach to parenting from the perspective of their judgmental, ruthless, and bitter (albeit adorable) progeny, who turn out not to be as innocent as they seem. Sassy, tongue-in-cheek, and laugh-out-loud funny, TO WHAT MISERABLE WRETCHES HAVE I BEEN BORN? is the ideal gift for parents who spend far too much time worrying about the effectiveness of their parenting skills (in other words, ALL parents…). Suzanne Weber is best-known for creating, performing and writing as the character Anita Liberty, a performance poet who achieves notoriety by devoting her entire career to humiliating her jerk of an ex-boyfriend in public. A native New Yorker, Weber currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter, a sassy little chip off her mother’s block of comtempt. Praise for Suzanne Weber: “Twisted, clever and hilarious, I laughed out loud on every single page. You’ll never look at your child the same way again.” –Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, author of Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay “An undeniably authentic and original tale of adolescence.” –Kirkus Reviews, on The Center of the Universe (Yep, That Would Be Me)

Wheeler, Michael THE ART OF NEGOTIATION: Improvising Agreement in the Real World (The Free Press/S&S, 2013) Manuscript due January 2013 UK rights with The Free Press Harvard Business School and Program on Negotiation professor Michael Wheeler illuminates real-world negotiation as a dynamic process requiring openness, flexibility, and the ability to improvise. Thirty years ago Roger Fisher, Bill Ury, and Bruce Patton wrote Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement without Giving In. The book became an international bestseller, popularizing the idea of win-win outcomes, an approach that seeks to satisfy both parties’ underlying interests. It was a challenge to hard-bargaining classics such as Herb Cohen’s You Can Negotiate Anything, which advocates making blunt demands and crushing the other side. Despite their differences, each of these approaches assumes that negotiation is static, not dynamic. It’s as if we negotiate under a clear blue sky where everything is in plain sight and nothing changes. Supposedly we have our given interests and they have theirs. The win-win approach says that we can expand the pie with mutually beneficial trades. The hard-ball line tells us how to grab the bigger slice. That’s nice in theory, but in reality we often negotiate in the fog. Our own interests and options change, sometimes quickly and radically. Moreover, the people we deal with aren’t entirely predictable. We can make educated guesses about what’s important to them, but they may be uncertain themselves about ends and means. And what they tell us is often ambiguous. Was that really their final offer or merely a bluff? The fact is, negotiation can’t be scripted, whether in mega-business deals or in everyday transactions like buying a car or landing a new customer. Yet as negotiators we have to persist even when information is ambiguous, boundaries are hazy, and the scene is constantly changing. In THE ART OF NEGOTIATION, Wheeler illuminates real-world negotiation as a dynamic process requiring openness, flexibility, and the ability to improvise. THE ART OF NEGOTIATION presents a new framework for understanding negotiation as an interactive process driven by on-going cycles of learning, adapting, and influencing. And all of this takes place in a strategic context. The actions that we take to resolve uncertainty – the questions we pose and the offers we make – are also signals that our counterparts respond to, not always the way we hope or expect. Wheeler challenges the static model of standard win-win and hardball approaches. His fresh and practical advice shows how negotiators can become quicker on their feet, so that they seize opportunity and side-step pitfalls at the bargaining table. The Art of Negotiation illuminates how, as the subtitle says, to improvise agreement in the real world. It promises to be a classic in the tradition of Getting to Yes. Michael Wheeler is a chaired professor at the Harvard Business School where he is a member of the Negotiation, Markets, & Organizations unit. He has taught negotiation to thousands of MBA and executive students at HBS for almost twenty years. He has also conducted ground-breaking research and led international conferences connecting negotiation theory and practice. Before joining the HBS faculty, he taught at MIT.

Since then, Rosalind has become an internationally recognized expert on children, teens, parenting, ethical leadership, media literacy and bullying prevention. Now, based on the work she’s been doing with boys for almost 20 years (and as a mother of two boys), she’s working on a multi-format program to help boys and the adults who love them to navigate the messy, uncomfortable tricky terrain of their own lives—what Wiseman called “Boy World”—a world which most parents find more impenetrable than their daughter’s “Girl World”. THE BOY WORLD SURVIVAL MANUAL is foremost a parenting guide designed to help parents work with their boys to develop the skills they need to manage conflicts and, as a result, to strengthen the relationship with the adults in their lives. Accompanying this guide, will be two e-book originals (one for boys ages 10-13, the other for boys ages 14-16) to help boys directly develop the skills they need to manage their conflicts and to help them recognize that asking for and receiving help is a strength, not a weakness.

Hill PhD with Christie Aschwand THE COLORADO DIET: Discover the 6 Proven Weight-loss Secrets from the Slimmest State in the Nation (Rodale, May 2013) Manuscript due January 2013 Leading weight-loss experts explain how to reset, rebuild, and reignite the body’s fat-burning engine We often hear that a third of Americans are obese—not just a few pounds overweight but heavy enough to put their health at risk. However, one state—Colorado—has bucked the trend. It’s the leanest state in the nation, but it’s not because of something in the air or the water. It’s the perfect interplay among diet, activity, and environment. THE COLORADO DIET breaks down the elements of this healthy lifestyle and step-by-step explains how to recreate it anywhere. Weight loss and weight maintenance are different processes; it’s best to tackle them separately. If during the weight loss phase nothing is done to correct a faulty metabolism, weight regain is inevitable. THE COLORADO DIET features a 7-week plan that rebuilds your metabolism and provides quick weight loss. This is followed by another 7-week plan that shows you how to match your diet to your rebuilt metabolism for long-term leanness. With your new, flexible metabolism, you will be able to enjoy food without constantly worrying about your weight. Plus, the authors show readers how to make their home and relationships more weight-loss friendly. They also explain that changes in diet and activity level can actually change the brain and attitude. That change feeds the new healthy lifestyle, supplying readers with the motivation and the energy to stay fitter, stronger, and leaner for life. Holly Wyatt is Associate Director of the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the University of Colorado and is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine. She directs the Colorado Diet Clinic at the Anschutz Center. She lives in Denver. James O. Hill is Founding Executive Director of the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the University of Colorado and the author of The Step Diet: Count Steps, Not Calories to Lose Weight and Keep It off Forever.

Ampuero, Roberto THE NERUDA CASE/ El Caso Neruda (Grupo Editorial Norma, 2008) (Riverhead/Penguin USA, June 2012) Hardcover, 352 pages Published for the first time in English, an atmospheric, brilliant novel from an internationally bestselling literary luminary. Roberto Ampuero’s novels starring the wonderfully roguish Cayetano Brulé are an international sensation. In The Neruda Case, readers are introduced to Cayetano as he takes on his first case as a private eye. Set against the fraught political world of pre-Pinochet Chile, Castro’s Cuba, and perilous behind-the-Wall East Berlin, this mystery spans countries, cultures, and political ideas, and features one of literature’s most beloved figures—Pablo Neruda. Cayetano meets the poet at a party in Chile in the 1970s. The dying Neruda recruits Cayetano to help him solve the last great mystery of his life. As Cayetano fumbles around his first case, finding it hard to embrace the new inspector identity foisted upon him, he begins to learn more about Neruda’s hidden agenda. Neruda sends him on a whirlwind expedition around the world, ending back in Chile, where Pinochet’s coup plays out against the final revelations of their journey. Evocative, romantic, and full of intrigue, Ampuero’s novel is both a glimpse into the life of Pablo Neruda as death approaches and a political thriller that unfolds during the fiercely convulsive end of an era.

Angel, Jodi YOU ONLY GET LETTERS FROM JAIL: Stories (Tin House, July 2013) Manuscript (288 pages) “A Good Deuce" listed as a Distinguished Story of 2011 in Best American Short Stories 2012! Jodi Angel’s second story collection, YOU ONLY GET LETTERS FROM JAIL, chronicles the lives of young men trapped in the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood. From picking up women at a bar hours after mom’s overdose to coveting a drowned girl to catching rattlesnakes with gasoline, Angel's characters are motivated by muscle cars, manipulative women, and the hope of escape from circumstances that force them either to grow up or give up. Haunted by unfulfilled dreams and disappointments, and often acting out of mixed intentions and questionable motives, these boys turned young men are nevertheless portrayed with depth, tenderness, and humanity. Angel’s gritty and heartbreaking prose leaves readers empathizing with people they wouldn't ordinarily trust or believe in. Jodi Angel’s first collection of short stories, The History of Vegas, was published in 2005 and was named a San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2005 as well as an LA Times Book Review Discovery. Her work has appeared in Tin House, Zoetrope: All-Story, and the Sycamore Review, among other publications and anthologies. Her stories have received several Pushcart Prize nominations and she was selected for Special Mention in 2007. She grew up in a small town in Northern California--in a family of girls. Praise for The History of Vegas: "Flawless" –"JT Leroy" "Thoroughly enjoyable read" –San Francisco Chronicle "Wonderful, terrible, dangerous stories" –Pam Houston Baker, Stephen THE BOOST (Tor Books, Winter 2014) Manuscript (299 pages) Ralf is a software prodigy. He works in the U.S. Government office that updates the software in the population's boosts—networked supercomputers contained in a chip implanted within the brains of 99% of the world’s population. Invented by Chinese researchers in 2032, the boost is credited with leading humanity to its most significant cognitive leap since the dawn of the Cro-Magnon. For corporations, it delivers unparalleled access to customers. For governments, it offers an essential tool for controlling and optimizing populations. Days before the national upgrade, Ralf notices that the latest update includes an open surveillance gate—meaning that Americans, who had negotiated high levels of privacy with the Chinese manufacturers, will now be subjected to the invasive Chinese standard. Although Ralf attempts to hack the boost, he is caught midway by agents working for Washington's preeminent lobbyist, who stands to make a fortune from the new upgrade. Bloodied and defeated, he has his boost ripped from his head, which effectively casts him out of society.
Cognitively crippled and pursued by the lobbyist’s mercenary forces, Ralf flees to the U.S.-Mexico border, where are there are others like him—“wild” humans on the fringes of society, unenhanced by technology. It’s a frightening and backward world controlled by powerful drug lords; a realm where people communicate by means of old-fashioned computers and attempt to store memories in their forgetful “wet” brains. Ralf’s only hope is to somehow work with these wild bosses of the analog world—in hopes of winning back freedom in the digital one.
