WW Norton & Co Blue Skies A Novel
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Boyle’s satire has lost none of its edge over the course of a nearly half-century literary career . . . [Blue Skies is] an expert blend of suspense, terror and, occasionally, very black humor . . . this fiercely honest writer shows us what he sees and invites his readers to draw their own conclusions." -- Wendy Smith - Washington Post"Blue Skies is less a novel about what might be done about the climate crisis and more an accomplished family drama with a climate-crisis setting . . . Boyle doesn’t offer his own clear answer. Maybe he doesn’t need to. At this stage of the climate game, it shouldn’t take much prodding to convince us that there’s plenty of work to do if we don’t want our own families to be forced to answer Boyle’s thought problem." -- Matt Bell - New York Times Book Review"If our overpopulated and overheated planet is said to be approaching its terminus, as many nervous prognosticators believe, don’t say T.C. Boyle didn’t warn us… In Boyle’s world, insects are the de rigueur foodie alternative, and why not? As the most abundant life form on Earth, there are plenty to go around, and, given the right culinary sleight of hand, they make a dandy, nutritious meal. But now they, too, are quietly dying off, and no one is really paying much attention. In Blue Skies, nature’s slow death is humanity’s blind spot…. Entertaining… He has certainly got it right. As we become more estranged from the natural world, so we are becoming strangers to ourselves, that crucial aspect of us that is enriched by a keener understanding of how the nonhuman world works." -- Marc Weingarten - Los Angeles Times"T.C. Boyle is one of our greatest living writers, and ‘Blue Skies’ is one of his greatest books. It is a climate fiction novel, but Boyle doesn’t beat you over the head with idealistic philosophies. Instead, he weaves the catastrophic details into the narrative (for example, oceanside property owners have to park their cars on ramps so the tides won’t carry them away). Like the television series ‘Succession,’ there are no redeeming characters in ‘Blue Skies,’ but the narrative is one that you will not be able to turn away from. And because T.C. Boyle has been blessed with a comedian’s pen, you can’t help but laugh at his characters’ misfortunes." -- Jason Jeffries - Colorado Sun"There have been entire shelves of non-fiction books written about climate change . . . But somehow none of them are quite as devastating as T.C. Boyle’s latest novel, 'Blue Skies'. . . . And yet just before Boyle drives his characters over the edge, he eases off the accelerator long enough to find a little hope . . . 'Blue Skies' could be a very influential book indeed." -- Rob Merrill - Associated Press"Satire has often been an important element in his work, and environmental disaster a running theme, and both are at play in this ironically titled, beautifully crafted novel…. Boyle does a brilliant job of writing about an enormous subject in utterly human terms. He draws the Cullens with all their flaws but with tender affection, too. Amid the climate apocalypse, life goes on, which is, maybe, a sign of hope." -- Colette Bancroft - Tampa Bay Times"Boyle’s writing is descriptive but sparse, with surprising outbursts of hilarity . . . Blue Skies is a leisurely ramble along the edges of destruction in a world where knowledge is snatched thoughtlessly from Google and everything, no matter how silly, is marketable." -- Dave Luhrssen - Shepherd Express"[An] ironically titled, beautifully crafted novel . . . Boyle does a brilliant job of writing about an enormous subject in utterly human terms. He draws the Cullens with all their flaws but with tender affection, too. Amid the climate apocalypse, life goes on, which is, maybe, a sign of hope." -- Colette Bancroft - Republican American"Boyle, long a fervent proselytizer for environmental and animal rights, strikes the perfect satirical note to illustrate the nonchalance and obliviousness many otherwise intelligent people display…. Boyle’s genius lies in his ability to blend the horrific and the humorous, to slowly ratchet up the tension while crafting a gripping yet eerie narrative that forecasts a disaster of our own making." -- Booklist, starred review"Spirited... Boyle remains a vibrant stylist, with fondness for his complex characters and a knack for zany details... Equal parts entertaining and anxiety inducing, this dazzles." -- Publishers Weekly"A tragicomic novel of environmental apocalypse in which no matter how bad things get, there’s worse to come . . . the breathless momentum matches the tonal command, which walks a tightrope between darkest humor and truly horrifying . . . Yet so much of this is so funny, in a twisted sort of way. At one point, a character describes the novel he’s reading as cli-fi, and this novel might fit that category as well. Yet it doesn’t so much imagine a climate future as awaken us to today’s." -- Kirkus Reviews"Is climate change funny? Yes, in the brilliantly imaginative T. C. Boyle’s hands, in a terrifying way. Blue Skies is both comic and wrenching. . . . A black arrow of unimaginable horror shoots through the novel’s center, and Boyle leads us to contemplate the ‘inexpressible sadness at the heart of everything’—and a morsel of the world’s inexpressible beauty." -- Annie Proulx"Boyle writes with a youthful and sustained energy that parallels the zeal of his dreamers, and that ultimately attenuates their failures. There are few writers who seem more American." -- Chris Bachelder - New York Times Book Review

Book SynopsisHot fling or real thing? There are no Big Easy answers in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erin Nicholas’s sultry series. As far as flings go, single dad Gabe Trahan is pretty sure that Addison Sloan is his best bet. Once a month, Addison comes to New Orleans and then…It. Is. On. Until Addison returns to New York, it’s just hot, happily-no-strings-attached sex. And beignets. And jazz. But lately for Gabe, it isn’t nearly enough. Sure, maybe Addison’s gotten a bit hooked on Gabe. After all, who can resist a guy who’s so sexy, so charming, and so…available? But maybe he’s too available for her right now. Addison’s just moved to New Orleans, and relationships are definitely off the table. Besides, guys always bail when they learn her secret: she’s a single mom. Only Gabe’s not running. Worse, he’s thrilled. But Addison never signed up for ever-after romance, and Gabe won’t settle for anything less. Now it’s a battle of wills—and when it comes to the woman he’s falling for, Gabe isn’t above playing a little dirty.Trade Review“This series debut from Nicholas provides equal parts sex and sweetness as Gabe and Addison succumb to their incredible chemistry while attempting to fit the puzzle pieces of their lives together. Rarely are characters who are parents featured in the genre; it is refreshing to see Gabe balancing the ups and downs of single fatherhood with a burgeoning romance…A deliciously erotic bayou love story that readers will savor.” —Library Journal “Nicholas pairs New Orleans native Gabe Trahan with New York restoration architect Addison Sloan in this clever, scorching contemporary…This mature, richly characterized story balances intense erotic desire with emotional growth and mutual support.” —Publishers Weekly “Sexy, charming, real and fun, Going Down Easy showcases why Nicholas is a bestselling author. If you are looking for real and touching and hot, this should definitely be your next read!” —Romantic Reads and Such “Going Down Easy, the first book Erin Nicholas’s new Boys of the Big Easy series, was fan-freaking-tastic. The chemistry, the friendship…It was all amazing, from Gabe and Addison’s romance to the friendship between their adorable children. One of the best elements of Going Down Easy was how well the characters complimented each other. Gabe and Addison’s parenting styles and how they view life are completely different. They each bring something to the relationship that the other needs. Gabe shows Addison that it’s okay to ask for help and that it’s fun to live life a little on the edge. Meanwhile, Addison teaches Gabe that a little bit more structure never hurts. They balance each other perfectly. Plus, their chemistry? Scorching hot!” —Crystal Blogs Books “Erin Nicholas is one of my favorite authors of contemporary romance. Going Down Easy is the first book of a new series set in New Orleans and is hot, hot, hot.” —Romancing the Book “I loved this amazing book and Gabe and Addison were such a great couple together!!! Gabe never planned to fall for Addison, she was just someone that he saw once a month until she moved to New Orleans for good. I loved Addison because she was a hardworking mom and never expected that she could have a happy ending with Gabe once he knew her secret. Going Down Easy was a sexy romance set in the Big Easy that will leave you wanting more from these wonderful characters.” —Moonlight Rendezvous

Perpetually anxious, she’s also accumulated a list of semi-reasonable fears: falling air conditioners, the IRS, identity theft, skydiving, and airbag recalls. But never once did Maggie worry that her husband of nearly thirty years would leave her. On the day Adam walks out the door, everything that makes Maggie secure goes with him. Only then does she realize that while she’s been busy caring for everyone else, she’s become invisible to the world—and to herself. Maggie cautiously begins to rebuild her life with a trip to Rome, a new career, and even a rebound romance. But when a fresh crisis strikes and an uncertain future looms, she must decide: How much will she risk to remain the woman she’s just become?Trade Review“[Pagán’s] writing is fun and engaging. Maggie is a wonderful character, and readers will identify with her struggles and successes in rebuilding her life.” —Booklist “Pagán (Forever Is the Worst Long Time) has created a winning character in Maggie. Watching her wake up to the world around her and realize that there’s more to life than a dull marriage is exciting and relatable. Women’s fiction readers will find a lot to like in this book.” —Library Journal “Pagán does a wonderful job of bringing us a character that is so believable you feel like you know her…If you enjoy family drama and stories of growth you will find this a terrific addition to your library. Tie in drama and romance and this will also intrigue those more interested in finding a silver lining.” —Seattle PI “The way the whole book unfolded was so true to real life…It’s an extremely well-written and accurate portrayal of what a woman would do after her life is shattered.” —Novelgossip “Both entertaining and filled with life’s wisdoms…Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties is an empowering story for women of all ages with a wise reminder not to lose our authentic selves.” —Bookreporter “With her characteristic wit and elevated writing style, Camille Pagán gives us a candid glimpse into a tale as old as time: woman marries man; man leaves woman; woman sees her solo image in the mirror and wonders, ‘Who on earth is that?’. Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties is a life-affirming story about what it takes to find yourself after decades of marriage and mothering have made you fade into the wallpaper.” —Julie Lawson Timmer, bestselling author of Mrs. Saint and the Defectives “Camille Pagán does it again! In her new novel, Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties, she takes readers on a journey from heartbreak to hope, all the while making us feel like we are hanging out with our best friend. I could not put this book down!” —Elizabeth LaBan, author of The Restaurant Critic’s Wife and Pretty Little World “Camille Pagán knows women, relationships, and the complexity of the push-pull involved when a love is both old and new. In Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties, Pagán writes with the kind of confidence and warmth that makes you feel like you are in very good hands all the way to the final word. Do yourself a favor: take a deep breath and dive into her world. You won’t regret it.” —Ann Garvin, author of the USA Today bestselling novel I Like You Just Fine When You’re Not Around “Her husband is looking for something better. But so is Maggie and she won’t stop until she finds it. Camille Pagán shines a light on the girl Maggie Halfmoon left behind and her memorable journey to move forward. Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties is a page-turning and engaging tale that I read in one sitting.” —Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Lift and Separate “Woman Last Seen in Her Thirties is a beautiful, heartrending portrayal of involuntarily exchanging a life you loved for one that feels foreign and adrift. Maggie's journey of self-discovery postdivorce is completely relatable and totally realistic—how do we find ourselves again after we’ve devoted our prime years to the care and upkeep of others? She’s equal parts vulnerable and brave; Maggie is the woman we all want to be after life kicks us in the shins. Loved every minute.” —Eliza Gordon, author of Dear Dwayne with Love
