The Korean Word For Butterflyby Jamie Zerndt

Set against the backdrop of the 2002 World Cup and rising anti-American sentiment due to a deadly accident involving two young Korean girls and a U.S. tank, The Korean Word For Butterfly is told from three alternating points-of-view:

Billie, the young wanna-be poet looking for adventure with her boyfriend who soon finds herself questioning her decision to travel so far from the comforts of American life;

Moon, the ex K-pop band manager who now works at the English school struggling to maintain his sobriety in hopes of getting his family back;

And Yun-ji , a secretary at the school whose new feelings of resentment toward Americans may lead her to do something she never would have imagined possible.

The Korean Word For Butterfly is a story about the choices we make and why we make them.

It is a story, ultimately, about the power of love and redemption.

What Just Happened?: Bitter Hollywood Tales from the Front Lineby Art Linson

This film producer’s honest, hilarious behind-the-scenes memoir “details the planning, handholding and power games involved in making movies” (Publishers Weekly).

Art Linson has had a hand in producing some of the most unforgettable films of the past half-century–Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Fight Club–and has worked with some of America’s finest actors and directors. In what the Los Angeles Times calls “a breezy anatomy of ritual humiliation,” his memoir gives us a brutally honest, funny, and comprehensive tour through the horrors of Hollywood.

“Art Linson puts a film freak exactly where he or she wants to be: in the Fox screening room during the studio brass’s horrified first look at Fight Club…Linson gives readers a glimpse into a bizarre world where ‘It’s good’ is the absolute worst thing you can say about a movie.” —Entertainment Weekly

“A hoot.”–The Philadelphia Inquirer

Includes a new interview of Art Linson by Peter Biskind and the screenplay of the film version

The Greatest Good (Garrison Chase Thriller Book 1)by Craig N. Hooper

“Everything a suspense reader could desire from a thriller.” Midwest Book Review.

The first book in this fast-paced, action-packed thriller series starring Garrison Chase.

Back on the job after a year’s suspension, former operative turned federal agent Garrison Chase is looking to redeem himself in the Bureau’s eyes. Which should be easy, given his assignment is a routine protection detail for Stanley Tuchek, the California governor’s son.

But on the first morning of protection all hell breaks loose when Chase’s house is nearly blown up and Stanley is shot a few hours later. Furious, the governor fires Chase and tells him to stay far away from Stanley.

Chase doubles down instead, using Stanley as bait to lure the assassin. Which works. But when he comes face to face with the hitman, Chase is stunned to learn the assassin’s identity. Even more shocking is who sent him.

Suddenly Chase doesn’t know if his past is back to haunt him or if Stanley isn’t as innocent as he seems.

It’s a race against time–and against powerful enemies he didn’t know he had–to find answers. And if he doesn’t find them quickly, Garrison Chase is as good as dead.

Perfect for fans of Reacher, Rapp, Bosch, and Bourne.

The Women of Chateau Lafayetteby Stephanie Dray

The International Bestseller!

Most castles are protected by men. This one by women.

A founding mother…
1774. Gently-bred noblewoman Adrienne Lafayette becomes her husband, the Marquis de Lafayette’s political partner in the fight for American independence. But when their idealism sparks revolution in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must renounce the complicated man she loves, or risk her life for a legacy that will inspire generations to come.

A daring visionary…
1914. Glittering New York socialite Beatrice Chanler is a force of nature, daunted by nothing—not her humble beginnings, her crumbling marriage, or the outbreak of war. But after witnessing the devastation in France firsthand, Beatrice takes on the challenge of a lifetime: convincing America to fight for what’s right.

A reluctant resistor…
1940. French school-teacher and aspiring artist Marthe Simone has an orphan’s self-reliance and wants nothing to do with war. But as the realities of Nazi occupation transform her life in the isolated castle where she came of age, she makes a discovery that calls into question who she is, and more importantly, who she is willing to become.

Intricately woven and powerfully told, The Women of Chateau Lafayette is a sweeping novel about duty and hope, love and courage, and the strength we take from those who came before us.
