#14 NYT E-BOOK FICTION BESTSELLER LIST and #49 Overall USA TODAY BESTSELLER LIST
TRAGIC, #25 in the Butch Karp legal thriller series by Robert K. Tanenbaum Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster
New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Tanenbaum takes legal suspense to dramatic new heights—when his hero, District Attorney Butch Karp, goes up against a ruthless union leader with too much power, too many secrets, and too many enemies to silence . . . or kill.
"A well-liked union organizer is dead, his murder arranged by a ruthless union boss (this isn't a spoiler: the author tells us whodunit right up front). District attorney Karp and his wife, Marlene, slowly build a case against the culprit, but does his corrupt reach extend into the halls of justice? Drawing inspiration from such diverse sources as the Elia Kazan film On the Waterfront and Macbeth (the killer as usurper of the throne; the three witches as a trio of homeless women), the novel is tightly plotted and, overall, feels very much like the early installments in the series. Series fans should be very happy."
PW - Top Pick of The Week Review: April 22, 2013
ECHOES OF MY SOUL Robert K. Tanenbaum
"Tanenbaum recreates the proceedings with a novelist's sense of plotting…. Tanenbaum's take on the case, which was cited by the Supreme Court in its 1966 Miranda v. State of Arizona decision regarding self-incrimination, is a thrilling and insightful addition to the true crime genre." – Publishers Weekly
Complete review:
In his third true crime offering (after The Piano Teacher), Tanenbaum—best known for his legal thrillers about Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, lawyers in the New York District Attorney's office—examines the convoluted and dramatic case that followed the brutal murders of two young women, Janice Wylie and Emily Hoffert, in New York City in 1963. Relying on court transcripts, crime-scene photos, and the reminiscences of his legal mentors—Mel Glass, John Keenan, and D.A. Frank Hogan, all of whom were involved in the case—Tanenbaum recreates the proceedings with a novelist's sense of plotting. The seasoned attorney and two-time mayor of Beverly Hills, Calif., details how a young black man, George Whitmore Jr. (who had an IQ of less than 70), was connected to the killings by a confession extracted under extreme duress. Luckily, Manhattan Assistant D.A. Glass took an interest in the case and began to question the police tactics used to accuse Whitmore. A clue worthy of crime fiction eventually leads to the capture of the real killer, and a trial cleverly conducted by Keenan reveals police incompetence (and possible malfeasance) and sets Whitmore free. Tanenbaum's take on the case, which was cited by the Supreme Court in its 1966 Miranda v. State of Arizona decision regarding self-incrimination, is a thrilling and insightful addition to the true crime genre. Photos. Agent: Bob Diforio, D4EO Literary Agency. (May 28)
SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER - March 23, 2013:
"If You Find Me" by Emily Murdoch is an intense, heart-warming yet heart-wrenching story about two sisters who have lived most of their lives in the wilds of a national park in Tennessee.
"Beautifully written. The deep bond between the sisters is almost physically palpable, as is their intense longing for love and acceptance; they will quickly endear themselves to readers." – School Library Journal (Starred Review)
"A compelling narrative that is both unflinching about life's pain and hopeful about its possibilities." – Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"First-time author Emily Murdoch has written a painful, hopeful, surprisingly quiet book that charts the best and worst of humanity, especially family, with characters who worm their way into your heart—or repulse the reader's very nature. Her narrative is full of unique yet breathtaking similes, detailed descriptions, and unflinching dialogue all masquerading as backwoods Tennessee dialect... She validates the courage and ingenuity of young people the world over for whom survival is instinctive; protection of siblings is nonnegotiable; and love both a right and a gift bestowed upon those fortunate enough to find it." – Booklist (Starred Review)
"Within two pages, I was so hopelessly hooked, I felt like the story had attached itself to me. The storyline is original and suspenseful, but most of all, it was Carey's voice that had me flipping the pages. This is one of those books you devour." – Jennifer Brown, author of Hate List
"If You Find Me grabbed me by the heart on page one and didn't let go till the very last word. Murdoch's language is lovely, her storytelling gripping." —Carol Lynch Williams, author of The Chosen One
"Searing . . . hurt my heart and will probably haunt my dreams – a beautiful book about survival, identity, family, love and so much more." —Jenny Downham, author of Before I Die
"Carey and Nessa's story is memorable and deeply moving, and readers will find it very easy to fall in love with these girls." – Publishers Weekly

PRODIGAL FATHER PAGAN SON by LT "Little Tony" Menginie with Kerrie Droban, author of RIDING WITH THE DEVIL
Terrific KIRKUS Review:
Prodigal Father, Pagan Son: Growing Up Inside the Dangerous World of the Pagans Motorcycle Club.
Menginie, Anthony (Author) and Droban, Kerrie (Author)
Apr 2011. 288 p. St. Martin's/Thomas Dunne, hardcover, $24.99. (9780312576547). 364.106.
Many readers may not know the Pagans, but the motorcycle club, founded in the late 1950s, is sort of the East Coast version of the Hells Angels, and its turf wars have been violent and bloody. Menginie, this book's primary author, is the son of the former president of the Pagans' Philadelphia chapter, who by the time he was eight years old was in prison on drug charges. With his mother also gone (she walked out), he was pretty much raised by the Pagans. It was not an idyllic life for a boy, unless you consider sex, drugs, and violence good influences on the young. Things became even more complicated when, upon his release from prison, Menginie's father jumped ship and joined the Hells Angels. Menginie was faced with a tough choice: stay with his informally adopted family, or join his father and risk retribution from the Pagans.
A down-and-dirty memoir that should appeal to readers of such books as Sonny Barger's Hell's Angel (2001)
and Hunter Thompson's classic Hell's Angels (1967).

My Agent Wish List
I'm looking forward to seeing a wide range of middle grade and young adult novels and, at this point, will be accepting queries from every genre within YA and MG. I will also accept queries from picture book author/illustrators (professionally trained illustrators, please). There are a few things I'm particularly interested in seeing, though, should you be working on a project along these lines.
Picture Books:
Author/illustrators only, please. I'm looking for unique and inventive art with playful, character-diven stories that are less than 750 words. Preferably less than 500 words. When querying, please paste the entire story below your query and include a link to a website or other public place that showcases examples of your art. Please don't attach art to the query.
Middle Grade:
Larger-than-life characters and storylines that don't include parents or obvious life-lessons. I want fun, adventure, mystery and big, big characters. Give me hilarious and daring main and supporting characters that push the envelope . . . then stop pushing and rip it right open. Did I mention how important jump-off-the-page characters are?
A timeless middle grade with siblings learning about themselves, each other and the world. Lovely but accessible prose. Something classic, the next The Penderwicks or Anne of Green Gables.
Urban fantasy. MG superheros (perhaps dark superheros?) or mythological or magical creatures set in the modern world. Great pacing is essential, as is adventure. Some humor would be good, too. Probably not Olympian stuff, though.
Young Adult:
Talented writing, first and foremost. I'd like to see writing that shows care for one's craft. I'm very open to good experimental writing, too. Having said that:
Sweeping historical fiction. I'd love something decadent and lush, set perhaps during Tsarist Russia or the Golden Ages of Vienna or Budapest. I'd like to see a heated romance, treachery and gowns made of yards and yards of silk and seed pearls.
Contemporary with feminist themes, issues, characters, concerns. A strong (struggling?) main character trying to find her or his place in a world where being white, male and upper class is still such an advantage.
Avoid the United Colors of Benetton ad cast, but I do want to see novels about persons of color. Realistic, voicey families that fight hard, love hard, and don't tell me too much about what it means to be people of color in the U.S.; rather, you, the author, are showing me what it means through your writing and story. Think Toni Morrison, Bell Hooks, Sandra Cisneros, Julia Alvarez, Maxine Hong Kingston, Sherman Alexie.
Beach reads. Very commercial stories heavy on the romance and fun, but still well-written. I want good pacing, a dynamic cast and great shoes. Make me root for the main character and swoon over the boy. Think Sarah Dessen-light but with more conclusive endings.
Horror, but I'd prefer it to be psychological rather than gory, subtle rather than in-your-face. Keep me up all night wondering what's hiding under my bed or creeping up my stairs in the dark. Or hiding in my dreams . . .
Additional elements that interest me in both MG and YA: Food and travel. How about a fun (and funny) MG about a bake-off competition (especially if it includes pie and a cool prize for the winner)? Perhaps a YA with travel to Morocco or similar, wherein the MC learns about being scammed, gets lost, finds some (but not all) answers to a personal dilemma and, of course, romance.
These are, of course, suggestions. You are still welcome to send your PB, MG and YA queries even if they don't fall within these specific storylines/ideas. :) ............................................................................
Bree Ogden - email: email@example.com
Seeking: Middle grade, Young Adult, New Adult fiction (readership: ages 18-30), Graphic Novels, YA Nonfiction, and Art books • Email submissions only • Paste the first five pages of your novel below your query • No attachments Bree's wish list: (don't limit your queries to these!) Young Adult: • Dark (not angst-ridden) • Realistic • Psychological horror (with no paranormal elements) • Hard sci fi. Meaning no fantasy, or magical realism at all • A Dexter-ish type YA black comedy • A Roaring Twenties historical for YA • A manuscript written in the era of Mad Men with panache and style • A unique and theme-driven art book
Manuscripts I will not look at: • Paranormal or fantasy (that includes urban fantasy) • Romance (unless there is a superb dark, psychotic element) • Magical realism • World building
Samantha Dighton E-mail: email@example.com
Sam is looking for character-driven stories with a strong voice. She likes characters who are relatable yet flawed, vibrant settings that take on a life of their own, and a story that lasts well beyond the final page, generally falling within the categories below:
-Upmarket fiction – think commercial plots with a literary voice, ideal for a book club setting. -Mysteries/thrillers –I tend to steer away from international terrorist plots concerning acronymical government agencies.
I'm more interested in psychological thrillers that affect everyday characters – dark twists always welcome! Think more Gillian Flynn, less David Baldacci.
-Contemporary Young Adult or New Adult. Would especially love to find a great mystery/thriller for a YA or NA audience. -Historical fiction – especially Gothic or early 1900's.
Please no science fiction or fantasy (especially of the paranormal/urban variety), although stories with elements of Magical Realism are of interest.
-Email Submissions only. -Send to firstname.lastname@example.com -Paste the first 10 pages in the body of the email, below your query -Please include "Query: Title" in the subject line

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Melt the butter in a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar uniformly over the bottom. Peel, core, and cut apples into one-half inch crosswise slices. Arrange them in the bottom of the skillet, overlapping the edges. Combine the next 7 ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Beat in the egg. Stir in the molasses. Add the milk alternately with the flour. Beat in the hot water. Spoon the batter over the apples and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate, but do not remove the pan for 5 minutes. This permits sugar and butter topping to run down over cake. Serve with the whipped cream, if desired. Makes one 9-inch square gingerbread.

The Preeclampsia Foundation recently "signed on" to a letter to Congress that was generated by the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research. You may know that we are members of "Friends of NIH (National Institute of Health)" and it is through that association we are able to make our voice heard in such matters. Make no mistake about it, we are friends of NIH . . . but as most of us know, even the best of friends can have disagreements. However, before I go there, let's address the areas in which the Preeclampsia Foundation strongly supports the NIH.
These are clearly tough economic times, and it seems there is a "bail out" or "recovery package" (depending on whom you are talking to) for almost everyone, and we want to make sure that NIH is not left in the cold. Accordingly, we have supported the recommendation that an additional $1.9 billion be allocated for NIH in the current economic packages that are being debated in Congress. Now, before you get apoplectic over the Foundation advocating what some might describe as irresponsible spending increases . . . consider the following (according to the Ad Hoc Group on Medical Research):
• NIH has been underfunded (i.e., below the rate of inflation) for the last six years, causing the real dollar value of its grants to drop.
• This funding could support an additional 5,000 grants that are awarded through its competitive system (i.e., only the best get funded).
• This one boggled my mind – and I quote from the letter to Congress, According to a study released in June 2008 by Families USA, on average, in fiscal year 2007, every dollar of NIH funding generated more than twice as much in state economic output. This means an overall investment of $22.846 billion from NIH generated a total of $50.537 billion in new state business activity in the form of increased output of goods and services. This same study revealed that in FY 2007 NIH grants and contracts created and supported more than 350,000 jobs that generated wages in excess of $18 billion in the 50 states. The average wage associated with the jobs created was $52,000.
• Lastly, I learned from the "sign-on" letter that, since 2003, NIH has lost about 14% of its purchasing power when measured against inflation in the biomedical arena
So, not only is NIH the epicenter of medical research in the country, it is an economic engine that generates good jobs (with the positive ripple effect that has in local communities). It strikes this writer as just plain good sense that we should be supporting this allocation request. It's an investment.
