We have signed on some exciting new projects by a list of talented new writers:
Gordon Edgar, a cheesemonger at Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco, is the author of "Cheesemonger," a delicious and delightful memoir on food and politics. His book is just about ready to be sent out; in the meanwhile, get at taste at his website, Gordonzola.
George Hageman is the author and strategist behind the much-followed podcast Military History. He is now working on a book about the same subject. He is also Harvard-bound this fall and just graduated from Lakeside High School-- which we guess makes him our list's prodigy. His final proposal is forthcoming.
Jane Sandor is currently an instructor in English at Mount St. Mary's College. She has an MFA in Creative Writing and English Literature from the University of Alabama, and has had two essays in succession (2006 and 2007) designated notable by the Best American Essays.
We're very proud to be representing her first novel, "Alta California," a noir literary truth-hunt a la A.S. Byatt's Possession, set in LA. Her book is about to go out.
Christopher Sanford, MD, wrote the recently released The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health (University of Washington Press, 2008). He is a family practice physician who specializes in tropical medicine. We are overjoyed to be working with him on his second novel, "Yellow Jack," the final draft to come. His first novel, Sutures, came out from Soho Press in 1993.
Joe Upton is the author of Alaska Blues (in print continuously since 1977). His new project, "Into the Ice: A Crab Fisherman's Story of One Year on the Bering Sea," is a gripping true story from the frozen Bering Sea and an insight into the industry made famous by the show "Deadliest Catch." His project is ready to be shown.
