Emily St. John Mandel
"Think of Cormac McCarthy seesawing with Joan Didion . . . Mandel spins a
satisfying web of coincidence and kismet . . . Magnetic . . . a breakout novel."
— starred, Kirkus Reviews
One snowy night, famous actor Arthur Leander has a heart attack onstage while
performing King Lear. An EMT in the audience performs CPR, but Arthur is dead.
That same night, a terrible flu begins to spread. Set in the eerie days of civilization's
collapse, this is the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and
a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region,
risking everything for art and humanity.

Science Fiction § Releases 11/19/14
"This is a title that will sweep you along without you even realizing it. It starts off
simply enough, a man dies while on stage during a performance of King Lear. What you think will be a retrospective
of his life turns into a book about civilization, and what happens when it collapses. A book about survivors, and the
new lives they create for themselves. As well as the retrospective on that actor's life that you were expecting all
along. Mandel manages to weave all the threads together into a book that I couldn't put down. A little something
for everyone in this book: family drama, near future dystopian fiction, coming of age. Highly recommended for a
broad spectrum of readers." — Robin Bradford

A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality
Jacob Tomsky
"This memoir succeeds in humanizing the people who park our cars, clean our hotel
rooms, and carry our luggage." — Booklist
Jacob Tomsky never intended to go into the hotel business. With a philosophy
degree and a lack of career direction, he became a valet parker for a luxury hotel
in New Orleans. He ended up working in "hospitality" for over a decade, from
supervising housekeeping to manning the front desk at an upscale Manhattan hotel.
Now he pulls back the curtain to expose the crazy and compelling reality of a multi-
billion-dollar industry we think we know.

Autobiography § Releases 11/19/14
"Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in your favorite hotels? If you have, you should check
out this fantastic "tell all" book by Tomsky. It will tell you everything you may have (or may not have) wanted to
know about everything in hotels from the front desk to the housekeeping, to the valets. It tells you who you should
tip, and why, and what happens if you don't. It's an engaging and entertaining story of staff in the hospitality
industry, and what their days (and nights) consist of as they make sure you have an enjoyable stay. A book that
moves along quickly, written in the same vein as Kitchen Confidential and other "behind the scenes" books of
various industries." — Robin Bradford
