Normally I don’t report on non fiction deals because I don’t read non fiction for leisure. But these are bloggers we know writing about a topic we love. Congrats ladies.
Sarah Wendell and Lay-Ping “Candy” Tan’s SMART BITCHES WHO LOVE TRASHY BOOKS, based on the popular blog, a funny, somewhat bitchy and adoring look at the world of romance novels, from the authors to the covers to the conferences to the audience, to Sulay Hernandez at Touchstone Fireside for Fireside, in a nice deal, by Daniel Lazar at Writers House (NA). (Touchstone Fireside is a Simon & Schuster imprint)

I do like reworking of fairy tales.

Allison Bottke’s I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT, a new series called VA VA VA BOOM in which Boomer aged women entrepreneurs are living, loving, and enjoying making a difference in their world…the first book is set in a “disco” hair salon, to Don Pape at David C. Cook, in a nice deal, in a three-book deal, by Steve Laube at the Steve Laube Agency (world).

I didn’t realize that Sydney Croft was a writing team. I always thought it was Ione.
Stephanie Tyler and Larissa Ione writing as Sydney Croft’s three additional books in the erotic ACRO series, in which secret agents with superpowers are engaged in a global war, to Shauna Summers at Bantam Dell, by Roberta Brown of the Brown Literary Agency (World).

I didn’t read Spirited Away by Miles but heard it was sweet.
Cindy Miles’s ONLY IN HER DREAMS, when a best-selling mystery novelist with major writer’s block leases a 14th century Scottish towerhouse for the summer, not only does she find fabulous fodder for her next book, but the spooky castle is filled with enchanted Scottish warriors — and the last thing the handsome laird can recall is being accused of murdering his new wife, to Laura Cifelli at NAL, by Jenny Bent at Trident Media Group (world).

I can’t say that her first book interested me enough in following the adventure. I originally thought that I might pick up the sequel but there are so many other interesting stories out there. . .
Chris Marie Green’s next three book in the VAMPIRE BABYLON series, following an ex-stunt woman turned hunter to London, where she tracks down another underground vampire society that seems to have more to do with Lost Girls and Big Bad Wolves than reality again, to Ginjer Buchanan at Berkley, in a very nice deal, by Pamela Harty of The Knight Agency.

Jill Sorenson’s EXTRA SENSORY, to Stacy Boyd at Silhouette, in a nice deal, by Laurie McLean at Larsen/Pomada Literary Agents (World).

This sounds interesting only because I like the idea of the forensic artist.

Cook, in a nice deal, by Janet Kobobel Grant at Books & Such Literary Agency.
