IF JACK'S IN LOVE by Stephen Wetta
Paperback: Berkley Trade, August 2012
Hardcover: Amy Einhorn Books, September 2011

"Deftly, Wetta illuminates the gulf between the innocence of age 12 and the realizations that arise at 13...At turns unsparing, tender, and disturbing...this is no typical bildungsroman....Intelligently, wonderfully conceived." --Publishers Weekly, starred review


THE COFFINS OF LITTLE HOPE by Timothy Schaffert
Paperback: Unbridled Books, April 2012
Hardcover: Unbridled Books, April 2011

"Memorably narrated by octogenarian obit writer Essie Myles, this is a witty, sometimes profound story about media, mortality, and rash acts undertaken in the name of love." --People, four stars


GRACE IN THE CITY by Victoria Brown
Paperback: Hyperion Voice, September 2012
Hardcover: Hyperion Voice, April 2011 (formerly titled MINDING BEN)

"Part of the novel's appeal lies in Grace's spirited voice, but the fascinating insider details on the nanny life add an extra dimension...A social satire...also a moving immigrant story.  Brown vividly depicts the vibrant and diverse West Indian communities...Fascinating, tender, and heartbreaking." --Library Journal, starred review and Editor's Pick


BEFORE VERSAILLES by Karleen Koen
Paperback: Sourcebooks Landmark, September 2012
Hardcover: Crown, June 2011

"A feast for the senses.  Readers will be swept back to the 1660s.  The atmosphere is electrifying, the liaisons are exhilarating, and the conversations and friendships are endlessly entertaining.  I was absorbed into the story on page one and couldn't put it down." --San Francisco Book Review


SECRETS OF THE WOLVES by Dorothy Hearst
Paperback: Simon and Schuster Paperbacks, TBD 2012
Hardcover: Simon and Schuster, August 2011

"Hearst writes convincingly and engagingly of lupine behavior, and the interactions among wolves and wolfpacks never fail to captivate." --Publishers Weekly


THE ORACLE GLASS by Judith Merkle Riley
Paperback: Sourcebooks Landmark, November 2012
Hardcover: Viking, 1994

The publication of THE ORACLE GLASS marks the return to print of beloved and internationally bestselling author Judith Merkle Riley's popular historical novels!  Sourcebooks will next be republishing Riley's THE MASTER OF ALL DESIRES.

"Intelligent, witty, and elegantly written." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Once again Riley has written an outstanding historical novel of 17th-century France, permeated by a feminist consciousness that enlivens her work...Based on a real-life scandal...this tale is riveting from start to finish." --Library Journal
