<br />
And, the reviews coming in<i> </i>for<i> <b>we: an adoption and a memoir</b> </i>by Ben Barnz <i>(November 1, 2018)</i> take my breath away...<i></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“There is so much raw emotion in these pages—it is captivating, enthralling, and ultimately full of love and hope. Ben writes truth after truth about bringing a new child into this world—a complicated task always, regardless of personal situation. Once you read the first page you'll need to know how this particularly unique story ends—and Ben will beautifully tell you.”</i><b>— Samantha Bee </b><i><br /><br />“I read this book once. Put it down on my bedside table and carried it around in my heart until I picked it up again and read for a second time…then a third. It’s that good. It’s that compelling. Mr. Barnz’s heartrending honesty is about becoming yourself so your children can take their place in the world.”</i><b>— Felicity Huffman</b><i><br /><br />“Ben Barnz’s beautiful book is a moving reminder of the capacity of love. His account of how this one family was created is a roller coaster ride of emotions & a tidal wave of hope.”</i><b>— Jesse Tyler Ferguson</b><i><br /><br />“At once heart-warming and gut-wrenching, We had me on the edge of my seat. Ben Barnz brings his story to life with such honesty, vulnerability and humor, that I could not put it down. A must-read for anyone who has ever been a parent or had a parent. I did the same ugly-crying while reading as when I saw </i>Kramer v. Kramer<i> and </i>Terms of Endearment <i>for the first time. It will make you want to hug your people.” </i><b>— Mark Feuerstein</b><i><br /><br />“Part memoir, part love letter, part haunting tale, <b>We</b> speaks in simple truths. What it means to be a father, a son, a partner, an adopted family. What it means to hold your baby girl knowing you may have to give her up. This gem of a first book burns deep with feeling, humor and the grace of salty tears. <b>We</b> is a work of shining honesty.”</i><b>— Jodie Foster </b><i></i><br />

SHOWTIME! I remember when I first saw this ad. Now I love it even more, crossing generations with this jam... <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So, when I saw the subject line of an agent email, the air left my lungs in one whoooosh. Time stopped and my inner ears began to itch. It was from an NYC agency: “Taylor Dayne inspiring memoir.” That was late November, and I immediately scheduled a call, which was with the agent, joined by other agents, Taylor’s fantastic manager, and I believe some quiet executive assistants. I made it through the “first round” interview, and a call with Taylor was scheduled in December. I’m sure my voice was quivering, but I tried to focus on how I was the right woman at the right time for this book, meanwhile my inner 20-year-old was jumping up and down and screaming. When I heard Taylor laugh, I felt like I had scaled the mountain.<br />
<br />
I had no idea how many other publishers were being pitched. Months went by and I had almost convinced myself that it wasn’t going to happen when an email from her manager came in with “Call me” in the subject. I did. Two months later, after I danced with all of the legal eagles and the literary agents, in late April I received the signed contract.<br />
<br />
Here’s the deal announcement. Just wow.<br />
<br />
Grammy-nominated pop icon Taylor Dayne’s memoir, TELL IT TO MY HEART:
How I Lost My $#*T, Conquered My Fear, and Found My Voice; is about a
little Jewish girl from Long Island, Leslie Joy Wunderman, who made it
against the odds, sold over 75 million records, worked with Michael
Jackson, Elton John, and Whitney Houston, and is now on her
30th-Anniversary Tour; a parable of female self-empowerment which
captures Taylor’s life growing up in a blue-collar home, becoming a
chart-topping musician circumnavigating the globe, rediscovering faith
and traditions, and being a single-mother of twins by choice, to Nancy
Cleary at Wyatt-MacKenzie, by Todd Shuster at Aevitas Creative
Management in association with Konrad Leh of Creative Talent Group
(World English).<br />
<br />
Here’s Taylor’s TED TALK from last year, which made my dizzy with full-circle moments. She talks about finding our unique talent, something you create and share with others. She says, “I planted my seeds, as my life purpose rooted, I was recognized, and success came.” Uhm... yes... like, right now. <br />
<br />
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uPz7cFSdf5A" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
And on a really funny personal note, she says when describing a
man, “Give me Brad in ‘Legends of The Fall’.” My heart fluttered. <i>Hey, I got him!</i> To me, Wyatt and MacKenzie’s father was just that. At the 1993 Deadwood Rodeo he walked around like he owned the
place, tight jeans with a Copenhagen ring, beat-to-hell Tony Lama boots, and I’d be damned if he didn’t
have a crooked grin when he tipped his dirty Stetson at me. <i>Lordy. </i><br />
<br />
My heartstrings snapped, though, at Taylor’s words, “Where is my hero?” <br />
<br />
Here’s a video with Taylor’s Billboard Hits... was it the soundtrack to part of <i>your </i>life? TELL IT TO MY HEART will be available in Nov/Dec 2018.<br />

is one story about creating a
family, and about how much has changed in thirty years. In the 1980s,
gay fathers were invisible; in 2000, eight percent of same–sex couples
were raising
adopted children; in 2009 it was over twenty percent and “the trend line
for
same-sex couples in particular is absolutely straight up.” <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Adam Pertman, E.D.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The heated immigration debate,
alienating government reforms, and a shift in social structure provide the
ideal platform for Tom Weise’s memoir. His fascinating life story was portrayed in the
critically-acclaimed feature documentary <i>The Good American</i>, which
premiered at the Berlin Film Festival.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Weise is a
political scientist with a degree from the Free University of Berlin.
He studied at the most famous political institute in Europe, the
Otto-Suhr-Institute, where his teachers included a former secretary of state, a
former attorney general, and a former presidential candidate. He lived in
Berlin and Sydney, Australia, in the early ’90s and from 1994-1995 worked as an
intern for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour</i>
in New York City. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 11.0pt;">After four
years in Paris, where he and his partner Keith were one of the first same-sex
couples to legally marry, and almost two years in Barcelona, Spain, the author
moved to Cusco, Peru, near Machu Picchu, where he lived a self-imposed
spiritual exile in the mountains. He most recently moved to a remote beach
village in Costa Rica where he works for change in discriminatory immigration laws
and wonders if he’ll ever be able to legally return to the United States.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Weise has reached a worldwide
community, well-known in NYC for his community work and initiatives—helping over 20 charities, comforting children with HIV, co-founding a gay
homeless youth shelter, and assisting undocumented asylum seekers—as well as within the adult industry where Weise created an escort support group assisting
with health care, legal issues, finances, future planning, and other serious
life circumstances.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 11.0pt;">From growing up in postwar Germany,
through a festering estrangement from his own abusive family, to the
comprehension and denial of an HIV diagnosis, Weise led a double-life for fear
that his lifestyle would conflict
with his life of advocacy—his memoir opens every door, leading the way for immigration reform and LGBTQ equality and empowerment. </span></span></span><br />

<i>Happy Louis Braille Day! </i><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Today we are releasing the digital editions of OUTSIDE MYSELF by Kristen Witucki.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">OUTSIDE MYSELF illuminates blindness to the sighted
world, and will feed a hungry reading market of young blind readers—at no
cost—through audiobooks and braille distributed by Bookshare and Learning ALLY;
Kirkus Reviews calls it “A human, humane, and uplifting story.”</span></b></div>

reviews OUTSIDE MYSELF: “It is so refreshing to encounter people with
disabilities in a story who are not merely heroic. Ultimately, these are heroic
individuals as agents in their own lives, but they are not ‘brave blind
people.’” </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">JANUARY 4, 2018 — Deadwood, OR
— OUTSIDE MYSELF is a YA novel that focuses on Tallie, a teen girl struggling
to adjust to her blindness, and Benjamin, an older gentleman who works in a
library for the blind; each has a compelling story about negotiating the
sighted world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Told from two perspectives, this book provides insight on
life for blind individuals before and after the ADA. The National Federation of
the Blind states that over seven million Americans have visual disabilities; this
novel presents some of their unique experiences while bridging the reader to
the feelings of isolation and interconnection of humanity without resorting to
miracles or pity. Currently there are a half-million print-disabled students
reached by Learning ALLY and Bookshare who will receive access to this novel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Suzanne Kamata, author of the empowering
disability-centric GADGET GIRL reviews, “Rich in sensory detail, this story
offers rare and authentic insight into navigating the world without sight, but
it’s really about loneliness and making connections and being human.” Anna
Swenson, author of BEGINNING WITH BRAILLE reviews, “OUTSIDE MYSELF is a
powerful narrative about adolescent angst and the ability of a mentor to change
lives, including his own.” Nicole Haroutunian, author of SPEED DREAMING and
advocate for young girls, reviews,“... experience blindness—and its confluence
with race, religion, education, illness, friendship, and family—in separate,
yet intersecting ways.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Author Kristen Witucki has been totally blind since
birth. She earned a BA in English from Vassar College in 2004 with a minor in
German and certification to teach students in grades 7-12. She followed it with
three Masters degrees: an MA in teaching gifted students from Teachers College,
Columbia University, (2006); an MFA in the creative writing of fiction from
Sarah Lawrence College, (2008); and an Ed.M in teaching students who are blind
or visually impaired from Dominican College, (2011). While in school, Witucki
earned her living at Learning Ally, where she helped people with visual
impairments, dyslexia, and other disabilities to access technology related to
reading audio books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kristen acted as a
writer and editor for Learning Ally’s College Success Curriculum for students
who are blind or have visual impairments. Learn more at kristenwitucki.com.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Accessible editions will be made available to over 500,000
students with print disabilities through Learning ALLY and Bookshare. The
National Library Service has libraries in every region of the country for
people who are blind and hosts worldwide Book Clubs—OUTSIDE MYSELF has discussion
questions for book club members, and aims to be part of the NLS program “That
ALL May Read” providing braille and audiobook copies to the library system, with
outreach through <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ability Magazine</i>,
National Federation of the Blind, the American Council of the Blind, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Exceptional Parent</i> magazine—to provide rich
content for parents of blind children, educators, writers for state affiliates

physicians, therapists, nurses, and virtually every professional society and
lay organization serving persons with print disabilities.</span></div>

you’ve followed us through the years, you met my assistant,
“Book.” He was my everything. He loved working long hours in the office

<br /></div>
I’ve had so many “how-did-I-get-here?”<i> </i>moments over the last few months—I mentioned my disbelief to my copy editor and her response was, <i>“You
got here with hard work and integrity. This is where you were always
destined to be! Hang in there, and be yourself, as you happen to be a
very special publisher and person. You’re going to wow them!” </i>The
pitches I’ve received make me giddy, sweaty, and proud to have even spun
into the stratospheres of these incredible individuals. We still have a
handful of breath-taking “possibles” for our Fall 2018 roster; here are
some awesome titles we’ve already signed . . . <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

SUMMER 2018 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wrote about the incredible acquisition backstory of <b><i>I Ran Into Some Trouble</i></b> <a href="http://wyattmackenzie.blogspot.com/2017/03/" target="_blank">earlier</a>,
and here’s the cover reveal! The famed typographer and poster designer
Wes Wilson, who knew Peggy Caserta from the Haight-Ashbury days, created
this mind-blowing cover for the memoir. I still can’t believe it, if I
have to be honest. As a graphic designer turned publisher, this is
beyond my wildest dream. Peggy keeps reminding me that when we met, in
January 2017, and she mentioned Wes in her stories, I gasped. I almost
felt the synapse in my brain sizzle. She tells me I whispered, “I’d kill
to have him design your cover.” And here we are. We’ve moved the
publication date of this one up to Summer of 2018, to coincide with the
docudrama.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As
I scrolled through the email for this pitch, first I got excited about
another “eco fiction” angle—our last was a family drama about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Promise-Pierson-Orchard-Kate-Brandes/dp/1942545517" target="_blank">fracking</a>, and <i><b>Meltdown</b></i>
is a thriller about a nuclear power plant—and the writing itself is
powerful and poetic. Then I saw that the book was edited by Richard
Marek, the publisher and editor of <i>Silence of the Lambs</i> and the <i>Bourne Identity</i>.
Cool. At the end of the pitch was more about the author. He’s provided
music and sound mixing for Snoop Dogg, Amy Winehouse, Patti LaBelle,
Kylie Minogue, and Seal as well as television shows including “Curb Your
Enthusiasm,” “True Blood,” “Last Comic Standing,” “The Maya Rudolph
Show” and several dozen award-winning feature films. His artist created
this killer cover illustration, and he has some incredible blurb-writers
lining up. Cool. Cool. Cool.</div>

SPRING 2018</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><i>Outside Myself </i></b>is
by Kristen Witucki, one of the most incredible authors I’ve had the
privilege to publish. Kristen has been blind since birth and writes
about her perspective in this young-adult novel that will charm all
ages. Impeccable timing aligned Kristen’s proposal with my “Applied
Ethics” class in graduate school—we’re releasing accessible editions
through Bookshare, distributed to their half-million visually-impaired
members, for free. To think about a Wyatt-MacKenzie book in braille
makes me so happy. We have two professional narrators and the audiobook
is sounding sensational.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><i>The Wealthy Teacher</i></b>
is our fourth book with the Kofke family. Danny has done well over 500
media appearances, talking about simple ways to be more financially
secure. I love his books, this one returns to his roots—the topic he was
published on many years before I met him, helping his fellow teachers.<br />

<br /></div>
<b><i>Beyond the First Draft </i></b>was agent-represented, and I liked it from the first line of the pitch: <i>How often do writers say, “What’s wrong, and how do I fix it?” </i>Writing
instructor, novelist, and writing coach, Laurel Yourke brings together
years of thought, research, and experience and synthesizes concepts from
her own writing “bibles” in this helpful how-to. Laurel is the
originator of UW Madison’s renowned annual “Write by the Lake Retreat,”
an enormously popular writing conference, currently expanded to fourteen
sections with two masters’ classes. Next year it celebrates its 20th
anniversary.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And finally, I could not turn this one down. I just wanted to look at the folder with the title <b><i>You Are Not Crazy</i></b>
on my hard drive every day. Psychotherapist David Klow brings deep
insight, wisdom, and warmth as he helps readers find new understanding
about themselves. Through a series of heartfelt letters to his patients,
he relates timeless information that normalizes life’s struggles to
readers who reap the rewards of a therapist from their <i>own</i> couches.<br />

<br />

<br />
* Everett Raymond Kinstler shared his stories about painting his famous John Wayne portrait; one was about how John Wayne and Clark Gable had discussed billing for a movie. They couldn't decide what to do and finally John Wayne flippantly said, “We’ll flip on it.” And he flipped a coin. Gable caught it and said, “No. No, I'm not going to leave <i>that </i>up to a flip of a coin.”<br />

Amy’s SECRETS OF WORRY DOLLS also took home a <a href="http://www.ibpa-online.org/news/340149/IBPA-Announces-Gold-Winners-in-the-29th-Annual-Benjamin-Franklin-Awards.htm"><b>SILVER WIN at ibpa’s 29th Benjamin Franklin Awards</b></a> in "Cover Design" (<i>again, this gives me an extra special fuzzy feeling since I landed in publishing by way of graphic design</i>). This is our third Ben Franklin Award in 19 years (2000, 2007, 2017), so its especially fulfilling to get this prestige again. And our imprint Judy Scales-Trent took a SILVER WIN in "Biography"—see her other awards for this incredible book below.</div>

Good President: Lessons from Kids” celebrates the presidency with honor
and humor. The book endears the Leader of the Free World: “You’re the
most important person in the country! Kids are counting on you, and we
want to help. We want to share the lessons we learned—when we were
little—to help you be a good president. Please enjoy our book, it has
action steps for kids to follow . . . straight to the White House!”</div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
<br /></div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
Short and simple—this little book is as easy
to read as a tweet, and packs an apolitical punch. In the vein of
“Everything I Needed To Know I Learned In Kindergarten,” its
non-partisan message applies to children as much as world leadership. </div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
<br /></div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
If children apply the six lessons in “How To
Be A Good President” to everyday situations, they will serve as good
role models for their community, and someday the world. Each piece of
advice includes call-to-actions for kids. For example, Lesson #2 is
“Choose Your Friends Wisely” and includes tips such as: try to persuade a
friend to be kind and to compromise; avoid saying negative things even
to people who are not being nice; don’t give into peer pressure to do or
say something you know is wrong. Lessons are accompanied by notes for
parents and teachers to provide a deeper layer of learning and
application. Sketch pages in the back give children space to write and
illustrate their own lessons and action list.</div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
<br /></div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
How children define the presidency will have a
significant impact on how they will guide America in the future. When
kids learn to be accountable for their actions, to respect diversity,
and to show compassion, they are learning how to be a good president for
the American citizens.</div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
<br /></div>
<div class="responsiveNews">
No matter what your age or occupation—from
grade school to grad school to the capitol—there are skills for
excellence in leadership packed in this child-size treatise on decorum,
which is an unwavering love letter to the position of
Commander-in-Chief.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the middle of 2016 I had a great conversation with a critically acclaimed <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sheila-Weller/e/B001H6NE7W">author</a> and journalist at<i> Vanity Fair</i>. After I answered questions about our <i>National Security Mom </i>she
mentioned she had recently written this <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/11/janis-joplin-little-girl-blue-documentary-interviews">article</a> about a new documentary. I had seen
commercials for “Little Girl Blue,” it actually premiered the day after I spoke to Sheila Weller.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before we got off the phone, Sheila said she knew someone who was working on a memoir and
needed a publisher she could trust. I encouraged her to please pass my info along. Then she told me who it was, “Do you know Peggy Caserta, Janis
Joplin’s girlfriend?” My jaw dropped. Ten months later I got the call.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://wyattmackenzie.blogspot.com/2018/05/may-news.html" target="_blank">Peggy was the only non-musician to be helicoptered into Woodstock</a>. Janis
wanted her there. There are famous photos of the two of them on
stage with Peggy whispering in Janis’ ear (in the book!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
After a few phone calls (and an admission I was being “watched” for almost a year) we signed her! I RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE will be
released this Fall 2017 from Wyatt-MacKenzie. I’ve never met a more
fascinating woman. I have a total girl-crush on her southern accent and
her unbelievable storytelling about the days of The Haight. Blows. My.
Mind.<br />
<br />
I’ve been given this incredible opportunity (and
responsibility) to help Peggy, and her talented co-author, Maggie—a
close friend, musician, and song-writer who recorded the stories and imbued them with
her lyricism—to publish her <b><i>true</i></b> memoir; after the most horrifying publishing experience I’ve ever heard an
author excruciatingly share (even after over 44 years have passed). I’m all
in. <br />
<br />
From Louisiana Homecoming Queen to stewardess to being <b>the</b> inspiration for <i>The Washington Post’s</i> reporter coining the term “Hippies” (read the <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/07/lsd-drugs-summer-of-love-sixties">full story</a>) while at her San Francisco store Mnasidika, to loaning the Grateful Dead jackets for their
famous photo shoot, and displaying Bill Graham posters advertising their
gigs and selling tickets, to convincing Levi Strauss to make
bell-bottoms, and letting Janis Joplin take a pair of jeans she’d put on
layaway, through a wild LSD ride and heroin addiction, to returning
home to the Bayou when her mother needed her—the jaw-droppin’ stories
don’t stop! Peggy regaled one about a Mexican prison break (<i>what?!</i>) which
was followed by my receiving a package. Inside was a DVD, a National
Geographic Channel show “Locked Up Abroad” entitled “Escape from
Mexico.” She drove the getaway car for the package sender’s pre-Chapo dig
out of prison. <i>(Squeal. How is this my life?!</i>)<br />
<br />
Peggy is featured in <b>this month’s</b> issue of <i><a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/03/the-year-that-upended-womens-fashion-1967">Vanity Fair</a></i>. <br />
<br />
The
icing on this news cake... casting is underway for an actress to
play Peggy in the upcoming biopic “Janis.” Michelle Williams is slated
to play the lead.<b> </b><i>(OMG)</i><br />
<br />
<b>And... the cake... the producer has optioned the TV/Film rights to <u>our</u> book. </b><i>(omg omg omg)</i><b><i> </i></b><br />
<br />
But wait, there’s scream-filling in the<i> </i>cake!!!!!<br />
<br />
I
landed in publishing by way of graphic design. When Peggy suggested
that famous poster designer Wes Wilson (who made the concert posters
which hung in Peggy’s store) create her book cover, my heart
skipped a beat. And now it’s happening. After almost 50 years they’ve
reconnected and we’ve commissioned Wes to illustrate the cover. Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wes was responsible for the typography we all recognize as representing the sixties—the
liquid psychedelic melting letters. I love the quote: “his message was
deciphered rather than read by the viewer.” An artist IN my
college textbook (<i>I had to dust it off the shelf and scan</i>) is
designing one of <u>OUR</u> covers. (<i>Scream.</i>) <br />

PRESS RELEASE<br />
<br />
<b>Lake Effect Fiction — Coming-of-Age Novel THE MERMAIDS OF LAKE MICHIGAN from Internationally Award-winning Author and Great Haven Native, Suzanne Kamata, Hits Great Lakes Museums</b><br />
<br />
<i>February 14, 2017</i> — Deadwood, OR — From the award-winning author of <i>Gadget Girl</i> and <i>Call Me Okaasan,</i> this intercultural story of finding strength within oneself has found a home in treasured museums honoring the heritage of the Great Lakes. Visit the book nook at the <a href="http://tri-citiesmuseum.org/"><b>Tri-Cities Historical Museum Store</b></a> in Grand Haven, or the <a href="http://www.michiganmaritimemuseum.org/"><b>Michigan Maritime Museum Store</b></a> in South Haven, and dive into<b> </b><i>The Mermaids of Lake Michigan—</i>rich with local lore, a search for self, and a little magic—by Michigan native and Japan expat Suzanne Kamata. <br />
<br />
In this coming-of-age novel, Elise Faulkner is more at home in the waters of her beloved lake than on land. Her beauty queen mom is always on her back about her lack of a social life. Her sister is dating the boy of her dreams. Her favorite penpal—the one who wrote about mermaids in Ghana—has gotten married and ended their correspondence. No one’s allowed to talk about Elise’s glamorous great-grandmother, the deep-sea wreck diver. Elise is biding her time with books until she can flee her small town. But then Chiara Hanover pops into her life and introduces Elise to jazz, Baudelaire, whiskey, and Miguel—the man of her destiny according to a gypsy.<br />
<br />
<i>Library Journal</i> reviewed, “Kamata’s coming-of-age story mixes bits of magical realism with the trials of growing up in the 1970s suburban Midwest … this quick read may interest fans of Jodi Picoult or Kazuo Ishiguro.”<i> Publishers Weekly</i> raved, “In this intricately woven coming-of-age tale, Kamata explores destiny and regret…with tantalizing glimpses of a scandalous shipwreck-diving great-grandmother.” <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> writes, “A lyrical, compelling coming-of-age story with magical elements.” <br />
<br />
Cassie Premo Steele, author of <i>Beautiful Waters</i> reviews, “Suzanne Kamata’s new novel, <i>The Mermaids of Lake Michigan</i>, is a beautiful story about a teenage girl who must learn to balance her idealism and belief in mermaids with the harsh realities of growing up and trying to find people to love and trust. A page-turner set in the unstable years of the 1970s, it brought back memories of my own adolescence and took me beyond, in that way all good novels do, into the wonderings of circumstance and the choices we would make if faced with hard decisions. Suitable for teens and adults alike, this novel will teach readers to believe in magic even in the face of tragedy.”<br />
<br />
Suzanne Kamata was born and raised in Grand Haven, Michigan. She is the author of the award-winning short story collection<i> The Beautiful One Has Come </i>and has three previous novels—<i>Losing Kei </i>(Leapfrog Press, 2008), which has been translated into Russian; <i>Gadget Girl: The Art of Being Invisible </i>(GemmaMedia, 2013) winner of multiple awards including the APALA Honor Award and the Paris Book Festival Grand Prize; and <i>Screaming Divas</i> (Merit Press, 2014) which was named to the ALA Rainbow List. She has received awards from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, the Independent Publisher’s Association, and SCBWI. Kamata contributes to over 100 publications including <i>Real Simple, The Japan Times, The State</i> (South Carolina’s largest newspaper), MTV.com, Writer’sDigest.com, B<i>rain, Child, Skirt!, The Utne Reader</i>, and is a columnist for Nippon Airway’s inflight magazine, <i>Wingspan</i>, which is in the seat pockets of every international flight. Kamata’s books have been featured in <i>Salon, The San Francisco Chronicle, The State, NPR, The Japan Times, The Japan News, The Telegraph, Harper’s Bazaar</i> Singapore, MTV.com, and the BN blog. Kamata has an MFA from the University of British Columbia, and teaches

We're starting out 2017 with a bang. *giggle* <b><i>Out today ~</i></b> This sexy, raw, uninhibited multicultural, pansexual, intercontinental novel grabbed me from the moment I read the first two chapters of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-Kind-Indian-Jey-Tehya-ebook/dp/B01MY2DVOP">THE WRONG KIND OF INDIAN</a>. Every other chapter travels back to “Jennifer’s” youth through a painfully dysfunctional childhood. While in present-day, she straddles 30-years-old and finds those seeds of dysfunction have been planted deeply into every aspect of the gut-wrenching events that play out in the life of this mysterious, bawdy, beautiful, tortured poet. <br />
<br />
A member of the Cherokee Nation, Jey Tehya (a pen name) was born and raised in Oregon. An award-winning poet, she received a Writers in the Schools (WITS) residency from Oregon’s Literary Arts, her master’s degree from Portland University’s Ooligan Press Program, and was recently granted a residency with the Hosking Houses Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK! Jey owns a writing services company, founded a scholarship for Native graduate students pursuing a writing degree, and has established a karmic yoga movement. She currently lives in Oregon (which plays a character in her novel).<br />

<br />
For a group project in grad school we had “avatars” created (at fiverr.com, of course). I laugh every time I look at mine—I know, looks a little cynical, right? I think it's going to be my new profile pic. I'm turning 49 this month and somehow it seems to fit.<br />
<br />
For 2017 I'll be cynically optimistic (or optimistically cynical?) as we start our<b> 19th year </b>of indie publishing!<br />

I'm ready to say good-bye to 2016. So much was lost. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
One post began,“Tonight I can write the saddest lines...” and my heart sank. It was already at rock bottom, so I guess it churned. One of our esteemed authors, Dr. Patti Ashley (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Living-Shadow-Too-Good-Mother-Archetype-ebook/dp/B00J0DFC56">LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF THE TOO-GOOD MOTHER ARCHETYPE</a>) lost her fiancé of two years (and best friend of nineteen years) unexpectedly to a heart attack. No! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's Patti on a happier day... her book launch party. I've always loved this little video:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next post were the sad words of a daughter who lost her mother. No! Churn. I always
envisioned a scene from “The Notebook” when Bob Staffanson showed the
love of his life, Frankie, who he lost this month, the beautiful pages of his memoir <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Witness-Spirit-Cowboys-Mozart-Indians/dp/1942545215">WITNESS TO SPIRIT</a> filled with photos of their impressive life together. Here's a <a href="https://thebullseye.media/white-elder-reflects-injustice-racism-toward-indigenous-peoples/">recent interview</a> where he brilliantly said this: “Standing Rock issue is a tip of the iceberg. <a href="http://www.twocircles.org/">The American Indian Institute</a>, of which I am emeritus President, is working on the iceberg.” Here's a photo I sent for the article—Bob and Frankie as she adjusts the bow tie of Boston Pop's Arthur Fiedler. Such a grace-filled and beautiful lady. Behind every great man...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then the worst words I've ever heard. “Quality of Life.” Noooooo. Everything got darker this fall as my 10-year-old chocolate lab became frail and began to suffer. The more we tried to help, the worse he got. In the middle of caring for “Book” his buddy, our 11-year-old black lab, lost the use of his legs. Oh those dreaded words “Quality of Life.” Twice in a matter of weeks. Part of me believes each of them couldn't handle the other being sick, like an old, loving couple. </div>

So, this month I dove into work and tried not to think about the beautiful energy no longer in the office with me. I found a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_lAgvch2PE&feature=youtu.be">soundtrack</a> which made me both happy and sad in alternating bursts. I was able to bring a number of Imprint books to fruition alongside our next trio of novels: January's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wrong-Kind-Indian-Jey-Tehya/dp/1942545479">THE WRONG KIND OF INDIAN</a>, February's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mermaids-Lake-Michigan-Suzanne-Kamata/dp/1942545592">THE MERMAIDS OF LAKE MICHIGAN</a> and April's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Promise-Pierson-Orchard-Kate-Brandes/dp/1942545517">THE PROMISE OF PIERSON ORCHARD</a>.

I'm
thrilled to report—one semester down! Two classes complete and 12 to go, and yes, a 4.0. I'm having a ball. Granted, I get a little
defensive when textbooks, guest lecturers, or even the professors
belittle the little *ahem* guys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I
mentioned creating a fake book for one of the classes—watch the beginning of my final presentation, below. (Tip of the hat to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Piper-Once-Again-Caroline-Zani/dp/1942545118">Caroline Zani</a> for her Fiverr.com voice-over guy! Too much fun.)</div>

The
<i> ironic delight </i>of this project (fake cover, below) came when my research for a fake
pie-in-the-sky foreword writer—a celebrity with the disease—turned out
to actually be<b><i> in</i></b> a real upcoming Spring 2017 Wyatt-MacKenzie book! Whoa. #mycrazypublishinglife #masters@50</div>

Our December book SECRETS OF WORRY DOLLS (Dec. 2016) is ready, and our January release THE WRONG KIND OF INDIAN (Jan 2017) will ship in about 4 weeks. ARCs for our Spring 2017 releases—MR. CLARK’S BIG BAND from Meredith O’Brien, MANNERS. I KNOW, RIGHT? from Norman Crampton and his team of millennials, and CREATE! by Ronald Rand which I am out-of-my-skull excited about designing—are in the layout department. I'm also extremely happy to be finishing my first semester of grad school! Stay tuned, I might post one of my final projects in the next blog. I thought I enjoyed having a real press, I'm having a BLAST creating a fake one!</div>

We were in the<i> <a href="http://nyp.st/2cFaOkW">New York Post</a></i> Sunday Book Section with MATILDA, THE ALGONQUIN CAT. <br />

<br />
We were in the cover story of <i>Newsweek</i> with NATIONAL SECURITY MOM. I especially loved the ending of the article...“It wasn’t until Bennett’s children got older and read her book, NATIONAL SECURITY MOM, that they grasped just what their mother’s job
entailed. 'My 11-year-old, my youngest, just read my book to do a book
report at school,' Bennett says. ‘She thinks Mom is awesome and I’ve got
the best job in the world.’”<br />

“<span itemprop="reviewBody">While a sweet tale of a rekindled relationship forms the core of <em>Triple Love Score</em>,
the narrative is less a love story and more about a woman’s journey to
reclaim her life. Even though it handles heavy topics such as illicit
affairs, estranged families, and drug abuse, the novel remains a light
read. The upbeat tone provides an effective contrast to the theme that
forms the backbone of <em>Triple Love Score</em>: sometimes life gives you what you want but not always in the form you expected.”</span> </div>

Did you hear the glass shattering? I did. Big time. Of course, we've been throwing our little indie rocks at publishing's glass ceiling for 18 years. Pecking away—book by book—to earn the respect of the industry elite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Four out of these six gorgeous novels on our roster are represented by reputable literary agencies, with two more agented titles to follow. (Wow. I better be careful as I dance around my office that I don't cut my feet on the shards of glass!) A dozen years ago, an agent used that age-old glass barrier to expunge us from an author's resume, claiming publishing with an indie tarnished her literary reputation. Ouch. Sweeping up glass with a smile on my face.</div>

Our roster of new novels is spectacular—these talented writers are inspired. Yes, #wymacsisters #wymacauthorsrock #skysthelimit #moviedeals<br />
<br />
In the last few months, three authors who were previously published by Wyatt-MacKenzie came back to us with their new books! This means more to me than you can imagine. Two of them brought their New York City agents to the party, which was thrilling, stomach-turning, sleep-depriving, empowering, and do-a-dance fulfilling. I'm so honored to work with these prestigious agencies, and I loved that they were anxious to post the deals. Yes, I'm having many Sally-Field-moments.<br />

In our first <i>two-book</i> deal, we signed Amy Impellizzeri for a quick release of SECRETS OF WORRY DOLLS to coincide with the December storyline, with THE TRUTH ABOUT THEA to follow in the fall of 2017.<br />
<br />
When I published Amy's debut novel, LEMONGRASS HOPE, she was working on this secretive new manuscript with a Mayan bent. I knew the name of it and little else, and I was always incredibly intrigued. Wow, my anticipation was met with utter satisfaction. More about this dark and magical drama...<br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">According to Mayan tradition, if you whisper your troubles to the
Worry Dolls, they will do the worrying instead of you—therefore, it

through her mother’s homeland of Guatemala, to discover the painful
reasons behind her own dysfunctional childhood, and why she must trust
in the magic of the legend.</span></div>

Here's what’s coming the first half of 2017...<br />
<br />
In January 2017 we'll release THE WRONG KIND OF INDIAN by Jey Tehya (the pen-name for a Pulitzer-nominated poet). I fell in love with this tough, sexy, and unabashedly raw novel. The fact that Oregon is a character in the story was right up my gravel alley. The writing is funny and poetic, and the author's own thinly-veiled life reflected in the main character is heart-wrenching and literally gut-sucking. Men! Pfft. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> wrote: “Author Tehya sprinkles her writing with moments of vivid prose (‘the student loan iron maiden was already inching close’) and portrays the book’s settings—Portland, Oregon; Costa Rica; India—in evocative detail. The author, like her protagonist, is a member of the Cherokee Nation, which brings a layer of authenticity to her narration. Some readers may find the book’s frequent, explicit depictions of sex excessive, the flashbacks to Jennifer’s youth unremittingly bleak, and her reckless behavior more frustrating than compelling. Others, however, will appreciate this story of healing, redemption, and a journey to emotional maturity. A complex and compelling, though often difficult, story of romance, forgiveness, and loyalty.”<br />

In February 2017 our third book with Suzanne Kamata, THE MERMAIDS OF LAKE MICHIGAN, will be released. In this novel, Elise Faulkner is more at home in the waters of her beloved lake than on land where her beauty queen mom is always on her back about her lack of a social life; her sister is dating the boy of her dreams; her favorite penpal—the one who wrote about mermaids in Ghana—has gotten married and ended their correspondence; and no one’s allowed to talk about her glamorous great-grandmother, the deep-sea wreck diver. Elise is biding her time with books until she can flee. But then Chiara Hanover pops into her life, as does Miguel, the man of her destiny. <br />
<br />
I'm already one of Suzanne Kamata’s biggest fans; she is a prolific writer, and one of the biggest supporters I have ever seen of other authors. <i>This one</i> comes to us through talented literary agent Carrie Pestritto at the well-respected Prospect Agency in New York City.<br />
<br />
To say I loved MERMAIDS is an understatement; the reminiscing of the 1980s had me smiling throughout, and then tears, and then smiles, and then a few more happy tears. We licensed a stunning oil painting for the cover, and the Valentine's Day release marks a life-changing deadline in the story for Elise.<br />

On Earth Day, April 22, 2017, THE PROMISE OF PIERSON ORCHARD by environmental scientist Kate Brandes is out. Wow, the writing in this family drama is stunning. Kate pulled me into her vivid story about a small-town Pennsylvania family dealing with betrayal, financial destruction, lost loves, forgiveness, and of course, fracking. I encouraged her to get a pre-publication Kirkus review and it was stellar. Yup, I can call ’em. Katie Shea Boutillier at the renowned Donald Maass Literary Agency in NYC represented this title and we've already received film/TV interest after pitching it as “Erin Brockovich” meets “Promised Land.”<br />
<br />
<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> wrote: “Brandes checks off all the boxes for quality fiction: the characters are well-rounded, the settings, such as the apple orchards, the crisp Silver Creek, and the rocky outcrops, are vividly described, and the plot is well-organized and crisply paced. The tension between the characters satisfyingly rises to a crescendo that’s in sync with the larger environmental crisis that threatens the town.”<br />

And in May 2017 we're jumping-out-of-our-chairs excited to release RUN, HOLLY, RUN! by Kathy Coleman, “Holly” from the 1970s show <i>Land of the Lost.</i> Agent-to-the-stars Diane Nine at Nine Speakers, Inc emailed me with the title in the subject line and my mind seized up. <i>Wait, what? Is it? Could it be... running from a tyrannosaurus or Sleestak Holly?! No flippin way.</i> In a matter of four days I met one of my childhood idols and signed her for her memoir. Wow. My life is wild.<br />
<br />
From behind-the-scenes of filming this classic TV show, to the perils of life for a child actor, domestic abuse, recovery, and rebuilding a life—this memoir is aimed to hit a thriving fan-base who LOVE this woman, and for good reason. I’m ecstatic that Kathy is working closely with professional celebrity memoirist Dave Smitherman to make her story an entertaining, enlightening, honest, fun and satisfying read for all us who are 45+ and remember watching the show every Saturday morning—<i>some of us</i> pretending to time travel, have stuffed monkeys we called Pakunis, and wanted to live in a cave. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These indie book awards are a great way for authors to get their books in front of other book lovers, libraries, universities, and buyers. They get opportunities for placement in catalogs and at international conferences. The award adds to the perceived value and proves the excellent quality of the books. And, everyone loves to bling up their covers with gold stickers. We support these indie award outlets, and they support us! You never, ever know what the competition will look like, and when your books place in multiple competitions it magnifies the effect of — "I see their books are everywhere!" — which, to me, is branding success.</div>

SHARECROPPER TO COLLEGE PRESIDENT, I helped her. The same university
