magazine. Before joining, she was the development editor of Time Inc. Casey was editor-in-chief of Sports Illustrated Women, editor-at-large for Time Inc., and creative director of Outside. Casey wrote The New York Times bestseller The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America's Great White Sharks (2005), and The Wave. In September 2009, the magazine hired former Publishers Weekly editor-in-chief Sara Nelson as books editor at O. In May 2013, Lucy Kaylin was promoted to editor-in-chief, replacing Susan Casey. Books Inspired by Oprah's Book Club, O has always paid regular attention to books since inception. In 2015, the magazine teamed up with Flatiron Books of St. Martin's Press and itself published a series of inspirational books, including O's Little Book of Happiness and, in 2016, O's Little Book of Love & Friendship. Public perception In a March 2001 article entitled "O Positive", Noreen O'Leary argued that Winfrey was well on her way to influencing the content of women's magazines beyond her own, just as she has helped reshape daytime TV and the world of book publishing. Brockmeyer lawsuit In April 2001, Oprah Winfrey and the Hearst Corporation were sued for trademark infringement by Ronald Brockmeyer, publisher of «O», a German erotic periodical whose publication dated back to the 1990s. In a March 2003 decision, Judge John Koeltl dismissed the suit, citing the different content of the two magazines in addition to the irregular publication schedule and minimal American sales of the German magazine.
