Confluence
"These essays combine an adventurer's soul with a philosopher's head. Kudos to Zak Podmore, a fresh new voice from the West." <br>—<b>PHILIP CONNORS</b>, author of <i>A Song for the River</i>
<br><br>"An ambitious, adventurous ride. The words themselves move like rivers—from choked, bucking rapids to languid flat water, to eddies swirling with uncomfortable truths… Zak Podmore has unleashed the kind of storytelling that will inspire the next great wave of ecological activism—and not a moment too soon." <br>—<b>AMY IRVINE</b>, author of <i>Desert Cabal</i>
<br><br>"The publication of <i>Confluence</i> marks the arrival of an important new voice in the West." <br>—<b>DAVID GESSNER</b>, author of <i>Ultimate Glory</i> and <i>All the Wild that Remains</i>
<br><br>"Finally! Finally a young writer who deeply feels and understands the power of water, the power of emotion, the power of words. <i>Confluence</i> is a profoundly personal and philosophical look at Western rivers and their value to all souls." <br>—<b>ANDY NETTELL</b>, Back of Beyond Books
<br><br>In the wake of his river–running mother's death, Zak Podmore explores the healing power of wild places through a lens of grief and regeneration. Visceral, first–person narratives include a canoe crossing of the Colorado River delta during a rare release of water, a kayak sprint down a flash–flooding Little Colorado River, and a packraft trip on the Elwha River in Washington through the largest dam removal project in history.

Accidentals
Despite the fact that the US is home to a large portion of the Uruguayan diaspora and played a significant role in its mid–20th century history, many North Americans know nothing about Uruguay and its history of democracy and dictatorship.

Through poem and essay, these often-ignored voices explore the ways many native people derive tradition, sustenance, and cultural history from the Bears Ears.
The Luckiest Scar on Earth
"This coming–of–age story will appeal to extreme sports enthusiasts, environmental activists, and fans of strong female characters."— BOOKLIST Fourteen–year–old Charlotte moves from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to Washington's Cascade Mountains , where she hopes to continue training for the national snowboarding championships. After her father signs an anti–development petition, she loses access to the local resort and takes to the backcountry, where she meets nature on its own terms. When adventure turns to tragedy, Charlotte learns that even our deepest scars can be lucky ones. ANA MARIA SPAGNA lives and writes in Stehekin, Washington, a very small town in the North Cascades accessible only by foot, ferry, or float plane. She teaches creative writing in the MFA program at Antioch University, Los Angeles. Spagna writes for magazines about nature, work, and life in a small community, and is the author of several award–winning nonfiction books, including 100 Skills You'll Need for the End of the World (As We Know It) , a humor–infused guide for how to live more lightly on the planet.
A Small Town
Perry is one of America’s premier thriller writers and the Mysterious Press’s best-selling author. Perry’s previous novel, The Burglar —which follows a young burglar as she realizes she must solve a string of murders, or else become the next victim—was more local, set in LA. A Small Town is centered in small-town Colorado but features action-packed sequences across the country. Perry’s 2016 novel, Forty Thieves , was a finalist for the Strand Critics Award for Best Novel and was named one of Booklist’s Top 10 Crime Novels of the Year. A String of Beads was a national bestseller. In a New York Times Book Review “By the Book” interview, Stephen King named Perry among a list of “unheralded writers” we should be reading. Perry co-wrote two books in a #1 New York Times bestselling series with Clive Cussler. Poison Flower was named one of the 101 Best Crime Novels of the Past Decade by Booklist ; Vanishing Act was named one of the 100 best mysteries of the twentieth century by the Independent Mystery Booksellers' Association; and Metzger’s Dog was voted one of the best 100 thrillers ever by NPR listeners. We have a significant investment in Perry, with seven previous titles in print and a guaranteed marketing spend/travel budget for each book. We will continue to promote the backlist through BookBub and other promotions. Perry is a Goodreads author with over 67,000 ratings and 6,000 reviews.
Elements of Fiction
Walter Mosley is one of the most versatile and admired writers in America today; his books have sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. In the vein of Stephen King's On Writing or John McPhee's Draft No. 4 , The Elements of Fiction Writing is an essential writing guide and a close examination of the genre's elements–character, plot, setting, style, and so on. It will appeal to readers as well as writers. Mosley's earlier monograph on writing fiction, This Year You Write Your Novel (Hachette, 2007), has sold more than 50,000 copies. As with Mosley’s This Year You Writer Your Novel The Elements of Fiction Writing is an excellent candidate for course adoption in schools, not only for creative or expository writing, but also critical theory or English/literature more generally. There is an excellent market and long shelf life for writing guides like this one. Books like Mary Karr's The Art of Memoir , William Zinzer's On Writing Well , Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird , Tracy Kidder and Richard Todd's Good Prose , and, of course, William Strunk's classic The Elements of Style keep on selling. We received a lot of media attention for Mosley’s novel John Woman and expect the same for The Elements of Fiction Writing , and this book will offer an excellent opportunity for interviews and excerpts given its instructional tone. Mosley is an excellent, captivating speaker, especially on the subjects of writing, reading, and what makes good literature. We plan to send Walter on tour in conjunction with publication. Grove welcomed Walter Mosley to our list last year with the publication of his widely reviewed and critically praised novel John Woman , which was longlisted for the 2019 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. An inductee of the New York State Writers Hall of Fame, Mosley has won numerous other awards, including an O. Henry Award, the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award, a Grammy, PEN America’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work (twice).
Takes One to Know One
Susan Isaacs is a New York Times -bestselling author of more than a dozen books. She was dubbed “Jane Austen with a shmear” on NPR’s Fresh Air and has been called «a witty, wry observer of contemporary life» ( The Washington Post ) for her lively, somewhat sardonic, and socially acute suburban mysteries. Takes One to Know One is her latest–and perhaps her best–in this genre. With Takes One to Know One Isaacs is joining the Grove list for the first time. Her previous books were published by S&S and HarperCollins, and she is very excited for a more intimate publishing experience with Grove. We are thrilled to have the chance to publish such beloved and established author and have committed to this series with a two-book deal. The protagonist of Takes One to Know One , like many of Isaacs' leading ladies, is a smart, snarky, strong woman named Corie Geller, with whom you can't help but fall in love. This is the first book in a series to feature Geller, and Grove will publish the second Corie Geller novel in 2020 or 2021. Given its skillful blend of wit and suspense, Takes One To Know One will appeal to those who enjoy mystery and suspense with a dose of sardonic humor. For readers of Janet Ivanovich, Liane Moriarty, Thomas Perry, and Lisa Lutz. We expect major media coverage for the novel. Isaacs' previous works have been covered by the New York Times , the Washington Post , the Wall Street Journal , People , and NPR's Fresh Air and Weekend Edition, among others. Susan Isaacs is an ideal author for tours and events–she's a charismatic speaker and a seasoned writer with a wide network in the industry. We plan to send Isaacs to a number of cities across the US and already have her confirmed to appear at Book Expo and ALA. Isaacs is the author of thirteen previous novels, two screenplays, and a work of nonfiction about female representation in film and books. Her novel Compromising Positions was turned into a film starring Susan Sarandon, and her novel Shining Through became a film featuring Michael Douglas, Melanie Griffith and Liam Neeson. Isaacs currently serves as chairman of Poets & Writers. She is a past president of Mystery Writers of America and belongs to the Creative Coalition, PEN, and the International Association of Crime Writers. She has also been active as a book critic, and has reviewed books for the New York Times , the Los Angeles Times , the Chicago Tribune , the Washington Post , and Newsday .
