We know BEA was a long time ago, but we’re still recovering from the Javits Plague (coughing, sneezing, fevering). And we’re tickled that YOUR HEART IS A MUSCLE THE SIZE OF A FIST was one of the most talked about books! (The other ones sound  OK too...)

We don't have any old books on our list yet. Only unpublished ones. But one day the books that we are soon to publish will have this smell.

Another acquisition (this one happened before we had a website, but it's still new to us!)

Lee acquired C.B. George's THE DEATH OF REX NHONGO, set in contemporary Zimbabwe against a backdrop of rumor and superstition surrounding the death of a military leader in Zimbabwe's liberation struggle and integral to Robert Mugabe's rise to power, told from the perspective of multiple characters, from different strata of Zimbabwean society, whose lives collide due to a combination of fate and circumstance.

Here's the epigraph:

Acquisition News!

We're thrilled to announce that Lee just acquired an exciting debut! Tracy Barone's HAPPY FAMILY, pitched as combining the resonance of Amy Tan's mother-daughter relationships with the bite and wit of Jami Attenberg's The Middlesteins, the story of a woman coming to terms with family - adoptive, biological, and future, in a pre-empt, from Susan Golomb at Susan Golomb Agency
