THE ETHAN ELLENBERG LITERARY AGENCY

March 2008

            The first bit of news we’d like to share is that two popular authors have delivered new books in their currently ongoing series.  MaryJanice Davidson has delivered the 7^th book in the ‘Undead’ series, UNDEAD AND UNWORTHY, which will be published by Berkley in July, 2008. 

            John Scalzi has delivered the 4^th book set in the Old Man’s War universe, and that book, ZOE’S TALE, will be coming in August, 2008 from TOR. 

            In other areas, paranormal romance continues to excite the public, and we’ve accepted three book renewals for both Amanda Ashley (Kensington) and Rebecca York (Berkley). 

            Christine Warren at St. Martin’s continues to garner fans, her November book HOWL AT THE MOON hit the New York Times Extended List. 

            One book we’re particularly excited about is Whitney Kelly Gaskell’s GOOD LUCK (Bantam 12/08).  It’s about a woman who wins the lottery and whose life changes in wholly unexpected ways.  Poignant, insightful, complex, I feel strongly it’s her best book to date. 

            I’m proud to report I now represent Lucy Monroe, and we’ve sold two more books to Kensington for their Brava line, just as warm, funny and sexy as ever. 

            In the non-fiction arena Peter Sasgen has delivered STALKING THE RED BEAR to St. Martin’s.  This insider’s look at cold war American submarine patrols off Russian territory is thrilling stuff, as close as you’ll ever get to the real hunt for Red October. 

            Foreign rights continue to be a hot area for us.  On behalf of Ellora’s Cave we’ve secured with our co-agents a 24 book deal in Spain and a 7 book deal in Russia.  We’ve had numerous sales in Japan, France and Germany and we continue to place books in smaller places that you don’t normally think of when you think foreign sales.  Estonia comes to mind immediately. 

            We’re proud of our clients’ success and look forward to your submission.
