NOVEL BY: JEREMY WAGNER
“An ancient and evil song written in hieroglyphics is discovered in a long lost pyramid;
when this song is transcribed and performed for the world to hear, it will bring the
Apocalypse upon the Earth, and Kirk Vaisto, a most gifted guitarist, soon
finds himself caught between the forces of divine
good and monumental evil...”
Advance praise for THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD:
“Jeremy Wagner is an up-and-coming voice in the realm of horror fiction. His talent shines
through this debut novel, and I can’t wait to see what his next offering will be. A real page-
turner, THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD strikes just the right note!”
-- Yasmine Galenorn, New York Times/USA Today Bestselling Author (The Otherworld Series)
“THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD is like the DA VINCI CODE with a heavy-metal soundtrack!”
-- Katherine Turman, Journalist (Rolling Stone, LA Times, etc.) and Co-author of Louder
Than Hell—An
He Unflinching Oral History of Heavy Metal
“THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD is a wild phantasmagoric thrill ride that will satisfy lovers of
the darkest fantasy fiction and the heaviest of metal."
-- Peter Blauner, New York Times Bestselling Author (The Intruder, Slipping Into Darkness)
“THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD…think the flat-out nasty fun of Joe Lansdale or a Clive
Barker-ian epic-magical-realism landscape..."
-- Decibel Magazine
“Wagner combines a world of classic adventure and intrigue with a dash of rock'n'roll
mystique for a unique take on the thriller format.”
--Joel McIver, Author of Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica
“Jeremy Wagner is the king of the new breed of horror! THE ARMAGEDDON CHORD

The actress makes a point of saying that she has not written a cookbook,
but has interspersed some of her favorite memories with much loved
recipes. “Some of them are for people that have limited funds; some are for
average cooks. And other recipes that I’ve gotten from chefs are for people

Amy Waldman
The Allure of Blank Space
Amy Waldman, author of the politically charged forthcoming novel The
Submission (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Aug.), has been knee-deep in
international politics for some 15 years. Reporting for the New York Times,
the Atlantic Monthly, and other outlets from spots like Afghanistan, Iraq, and
South Africa, Waldman also spent three years
in India as co-chief of the Times’s South Asia
bureau. A few years back, however, the
Brooklyn-based, L.A.-born journalist had an
idea for a novel that wouldn’t go away.
“I was having a conversation with a friend
about the Vietnam Memorial and [its designer]
Maya Lin,” Waldman tells Show Daily. “There
were many aspects to that controversy, but one
was [Lin] being Asian-American, and Vietnam
being an Asian war. I started thinking, ‘What

The Submission follows a number of
characters involved in the creation of the 9/11
memorial at ground zero, including a
determined 9/11 widow who sits on the
committee to select a memorial design. When the committee makes its
selection, it turns out to be the work of a Muslim-American designer. It isn’t

and says she might not have gone through with the novel “if I’d known how
hard it could be,” she finds the challenge of a “blank space” fun and
rewarding. “When you sit down to write a piece of journalism, you know

An epic journey. AT THE SH OW
A new clAssic. Peter Brown
The Friendship Challenge
In last year’s Children Make Terrible Pets, Peter
Brown introduced Lucy, a young bear who has
high, if futile, hopes of adopting a child as a pet.
Lucy has another mission in You Will Be My
Friend! due from Little, Brown in September
with a 100,000-copy first printing. Determined
to find a friend, Lucy discovers that’s a trickier
pursuit than she expected when she wanders
into the woods and discovers she’s too big to fit
in the frog pond and accidentally ruins a
giraffe’s breakfast. But just as she’s about to
give up, a new friend finds her.
After finishing his first picture book starring
Lucy, Brown had an inkling he’d resurrect this character. “I had so much fun
with Lucy the first time around, since she was so relatable—funny,
enthusiastic, and a bit naïve,” he says. “I think we all know a little person who
is like her.” In Children, Brown also enjoyed experimenting with a new art
style—a combination of pencil drawings, cut paper, wood-grain
backgrounds, and digital effects. “I knew I wanted to revisit all of it: the
character, her world, and this art style,” says the author of his decision to
create a sequel.
Brown hopes the message You Will Be My Friend! imparts is a worthy one.
“Everyone goes through times when they have trouble fitting in with others
and making new friends,” he reflects. “During those times, I think it’s very
important to be yourself, but you also want to be mindful of how your actions
COMINg AUgUST 30, 2011
affect others. You may unintentionally make someone feel uncomfortable,
like when Lucy tries to be helpful by attempting to clean the stink off a skunk.
From the imaginations of It always seems like good new friends appear when you stop looking for
COLIN MELOY, lead singer of the Decemberists, them, or when you least expect them. Hopefully, kids struggling to make
friends will learn from some of Lucy’s mistakes and will be heartened by her

Brown is currently illustrating a book by Aaron Reynolds and is “batting

he says of his picture book career. “I’ll probably be doing this for the rest of

copies began circulating the bookstore community. It wasn’t long before
independent booksellers took to the Internet, praising the book on
Twitter and in e-mails to Grove. “All of a sudden,” says Marlantes,
“everything went right.”
Though he didn’t appreciate it at the time, Marlantes is now grateful
for the Matterhorn’s extended gestation period: “It just kept getting
better and better.” The wait also netted Marlantes his second book,
which Grove will publish in September; What It Is Like to Go to War is a
nonfiction treatise that springs directly from Marlantes’s decades of
reflection. He is also at work on a second novel, about Finnish
immigrants in the Pacific Northwest (he’s only been working on that
one for 20 years).
Today, Marlantes is autographing Matterhorn and galleys for What It

Colin Meloy and

Carson Ellis
All in the Family Fantasy
Colin Meloy is best
known as lead singer and
songwriter for indie folk
rock band the
Decemberists. But he’s
making his debut as a
children’s book author
with the middle-grade
fantasy Wildwood,
coming from
HarperCollins’s Balzer +
Bray in August. The
novel is illustrated by his
wife, Carson Ellis (The
Mysterious Benedict
Society). “It’s an
adventure story set in an
alternate universe in
contemporary Portland,
Ore., where a 5,000-acre park has become an impassible wilderness that
everyone has been taught to steer clear of,” says Meloy. “But all that
changes when a girl named Prue’s little brother is kidnapped by a flock of
crows and taken into the woods, and she has to go after him.” Ellis has
provided 85 illustrations—six of them in color—for the work, which she
notes with a laugh, “is a very long book.”
“It’s been on the cooker for a long time,” says Meloy. “We first started
working on it 10 or 12 years ago, when we were living in a warehouse in
Portland and had an idea for a long-form novel. We wanted to do an
illustrated, classic storybook.” Meloy says he wrote about 80 pages, and
then the project got put aside as both he and Ellis worked on other things.
“About five years ago, we decided to pick it up again and try to give it a
little more structure,” he adds.
Collaborating was not entirely new to the pair, notes Ellis, who has
done all the art for the band over the years. “We both have overactive
imaginations and are impulsively creative,” she says. Meloy found that
writing a book “felt like a nice change from some of the more
laborious aspects of being in a band, like spending 10 or 12 hours a
day in the studio, or being on the road.” The experience was also a
good bit different from songwriting. “Songwriting comes in such fits
and starts that it often feels like you’re wasting time,” he says.
“Writing in the longer form, it feels like you’re actually doing a full
day’s work. There’s a relief about having the structure of how much
you need to write each day.”
Meloy and Ellis will be signing ARCs of Wildwood today, 9:30–10:30 a.m.,
at Table 9; this is a ticketed signing. And as luck would have it, Colin won’t
be the only Meloy sibling in the autographing area. He’s looking forward
to meeting up with his sister, Maile Meloy, who will be on hand to sign her
first children’s novel, The Apothecary, due from Putnam.

Bulgaria, adopted when he was
three years old, and brought to

autistic when he was nine years
old. Autism is a neurological
disorder characterized by
impaired social interaction and

repetitive behavior. One day,
Stefanski complained to his
mother, Mary Dowling, about
being teased and bullied at school
for being “different” from his
classmates. When she asked him
what he wanted to do about it, he
recalled, the idea for a book to
explain his disability was
hatched. It helped that Dowling, a
freelance writer and a bookseller

Robinson, a Kentuckian, is a former

senator; the Kentucky regional
director for Sen. Bob Dole’s 1996
presidential bid against Bill Clinton;
and an unsuccessful candidate for
Congress. He says he’s wanted to be a
writer ever since a chance meeting in
high school with Jesse Stuart, poet
laureate of Kentucky. “I was mystified
by the man. He was brilliant.”
Robinson found his way to political
thrillers after struggling for years to
write a great coming-of-age novel. His
books succeed, he believes, because
they combine an inside view of what
it’s like to be a candidate with
suspenseful plot lines.
