Ella Laye:THE ORPHAN SKY

Leila Komünist Partisi'nin iyi bir kızıdır. O sadakatle KGB'ye hizmet vermektedir ve bir piyano dahisi olarak Azerbaycan'ın ulusal devlet hazinesi olma yolundadır.  Ama sonra bir gün onun komünist akıl hocası onu  bir hain olduğundan şüphelenilen bir genç ressam ve müzik dükkanı sahibi Tahir'i gizlice izlemesini emreder.

Tahir, Komünizmin üstünü kaplayan tabakayı kaldırıp, Leila'ya onun ikiyüzlülüğünü ve yolsuzluk larını gösterirken, Leila'ya müzik ve sanat dünyasının kapılarını açıyor. Laila, Batı'ya ve Tahir'e karşı aşık olmaya başlarken, yoldaşları ise  ilişkilerini ortaya çıkarıp, onu imkansız bir seçim yapmaya zorlarlar.

1970'lerin sonlarında Komünizmin kırmızı bayrağı altında, Türkiye, İran, ve Rus kültürlerinin kavşak noktasında yer alan ORPHAN SKY şiirsel dünyada kendi yerini bulmak için bir kadının mücadelesini ortaya koymaktadır.

THE SCULPTOR by Scott McCloud

Shelf Awareness, February 13, 2015: STARRED REVIEW!

« “A satisfying and emotionally rich graphic novel that explores an artist's fear of being forgotten.”

Entertainment Weekly, February 6, 2015: SCAN ATTACHED!

“Using a sneak peek at his new graphic novel, The Sculptor, the legend [Scott McCloud] deconstructs one of the most overlooked and underappreciated art forms in comics: the speech bubble.”

The New York Times, February 3, 2015: SCAN ATTACHED!

“’The ultimate pride of the hyper-rational artist […] is to see if you can create something that wasn’t calculated at all.’”

DRAGONS BEWARE! by Jorge Aguirre, illus. by Rafael Rosado

Kirkus, March 1, 2015

“While the funny, fast-paced story will draw in readers, it is the trio's winning friendship and teamwork that will leave fans clamoring for a sequel. Clever Marie and little master chef-turned-swordsmith Gaston each get their chance to shine, and it's impossible not to root for scruffy, hotheaded Claudette. This rowdy adventure is sure to be a crowd pleaser.”

After his untimely—and quite un-heroic—death, seventeen-year-old Mitchell Johnson is slaving away in the business district of Hell where he discovers a fabled time-travelling device he can’t ignore. But stealing the timepiece so he can prevent his own death has some unexpected consequences that place his new friends in danger. Each of the teens has a secret motive for returning to their times of death, but one of them has caught the attention of the feared Skin Walkers—the wolfish creatures that track evil on Earth and drag them into the bowels of the underworld to be tortured for all eternity. But which of Mitchell’s friends is their target?

After 40 years, Melissa "Medusa" Pallister is about to come face-to-face with the devils she saw outside her house the day her stepfather Rory died. But before the group can even begin to repair the holes in their memories, they are sent back to the land of the living to retrieve the Devil's Dreamcatcher—stolen by the same man who still haunts Medusa's dreams. A team of angels is dispatched to find the Dreamcatcher as well and the two teams unite in their search to locate Rory before the Dreamcatcher can be used as a weapon against one of the immortal realms. Resigned to act as bait, Medusa is tasked with shepherding the group through her short life while avoiding the vengeful Skinwalkers, learning to focus their own rage, and trying to get along. But the Dreamcatcher is definitely not what it seems, and their mission changes when they learn the consequences of coming back empty-handed.

Sixteen-year-old Eva has never been in love. But when she meets Will, everything changes. With him, her grief over her father's death fades, and she can escape from her difficult relationship with her mother. Then, without any warning, Will picks up and moves to California. So Eva—with the help of her best friend, Annie—concocts a plan to travel across the country to see him again. As they leave New York City for the first time and road-trip across America, they encounter cowboys, kudzu, and tiny towns without stoplights. Along the way, Eva and Annie learn the truth about love and all its complexities.

“Love is really what this remarkable story is all about. Wise, inspiring, and ultimately uplifting—not to be missed.”—Kirkus, Starred review

“A wonderful novel about friendship, love, travel, life, hope, poetry, intelligence and the inner lives of girls — all the things, to put it simply, that I like best in a book. Margo Rabb writes with compassion and clarity about lives that are worth telling, journeys that need to be taken, peace that needs to be reached. I loved it.”—#1 New York Times-bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert

“Wonderful . . . Margo Rabb has created nothing less than a women’s map of American mythologies, navigating from Emily Dickinson to Barbara Cartland, from the cowboys of the rodeos to the makeup studios of Hollywood, and from the bottom of the Atlantic to the spacious skies of the USA.”

—E. Lockhart, New York Times-bestselling author of We Were Liars

Gottie H. Oppenheimer is a lot of things: seventeen. Great at maths. Tall. Motherless. And the kind of girl who thinks you can decipher people from a list of facts. 

And she’s losing time. Literally. The fabric of the universe surrounding her sleepy seaside town is beginning to fray, sending Gottie through wormholes to her past. To last summer, when her grandfather Grey died – and she lost her virginity to a boy who wouldn’t even hold her hand at the funeral.

Perhaps it’s insomnia. Perhaps it’s quantum physics. Or perhaps it’s something to do with Thomas Althorpe. Gottie hasn’t seen her former best friend since she was ten – the day he moved to Canada, leaving her behind with a scar on her hand and a black hole in her memory. But now he's back…

Over a summer of world-stopping kisses and rips in the space-time continuum, Gottie learns that to stop being afraid of the future, you’ve got to let go of the past.

THE SQUARE ROOT OF SUMMER will appeal to fans of THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE and BEFORE I FALL - YA contemporary with a twist.

Tempting

Manuscript available.

Aspiring Member of Parliament, Simon Belleville knows he should take the pretty prostitute directly to Newgate Gaol. But one glimpse of Christine Tremayne’s lovely, tear splashed face finds him faltering. Staring into her pleading amber eyes, he cannot subdue the sense that she is not at all what she seems. Though her expectations are limited by birth and circumstance, she demonstrates a keen mind and a love of books and learning. Hoping to help her as once he was helped, he assumes the role of her guardian—and tutor. As the heat in their private lessons progresses from a fledgling spark to full flame, Simon allows he has never before been so intrigued—or so tempted.

Claimed by the Rogue

Agent: Louise Fury

Samhain Publishing, March 2014. World English.

Manuscript available.

When Robert Bellamy signed on with the East India Company and set sail for Calcutta,  Lady Phoebe Tremont took his promise to heart. Their separation would be but brief; in  six months he would send for her.

Six years later, believing her love to be drowned at sea, Phoebe hides her tears behind a  disguise at a masked ball to celebrate her engagement to a dashing French aristocrat. It is  there she encounters a handsome guest costumed as a rogue of the sea—a pirate. When  he drops his mask, she finds herself looking into a dead man’s eyes. A ghost’s eyes.  Robert’s eyes.

Through hardship and degradation, Robert never lost his resolve to return home to  England a rich man. Now a successful ship’s captain, there is one prize left to reclaim— Phoebe.

But the demure debutante he left behind has grown into a dazzling, decidedly self- determined woman. Nor is Robert the callow youth who set sail in search of adventure.  Yet the one thing that could win her heart is the very dark truth his pride warns him never to reveal…

"Sexy and smart, intriguing and compelling, Hope Tarr’s books always keep me up late turning the pages."—Anna Campbell, author of What a Duke Dares
