Henry Holt Fiction Betsy Woodman LOVE POTION NUMBER 10 A Jana Bibi Adventure Publication: May 2013 Manuscript available Editor: Joanna Levine The Jolly Grant House still welcomes all its visitors with the sign: Jana Bibi’s Excellent Fortunes hanging proudly outside its front door. Jana’s fortune-telling has brought a lot of attention to the small town of Hamara Nagar, and now that the dust has settled and the town is safe from the threat of being drowned by a government dam, all eyes are on the Scottish-born card-reader, Jana, and her feisty, loose-beaked parrot, Mr. Ganguly. Some of these eyes, though, are not to be trusted and Mr. Ganguly finds himself the target of a potential kidnapping that puts Jana and her household on edge. Meanwhile, love is in the air and, thanks to Abenath’s Apothecary, it’s also in a bottle. He has created an intoxicating brew that he calls Love Potion Number 10 that seems to have Jana’s head in a tizzy. While she explores her newest hobby, dream interpretation, her head is swimming with questions: Is a new love possible at age 59? If so, would she ever marry again? All around her she’s seeing different kinds of love and connection—family, arranged marriages, chemical attractions, even intercontinental romance between people who have only met via mail—so when an old flame arrives and rekindles long gone feelings, Jana begins to think that that Love Potion Number 10 just might be the magic elixir its inventor thinks it is.

Henry Holt Fiction Ted Kosmatka THE PROPHET OF BONES Publication: April 2013 Galleys available Editor: Aaron Schlechter THE PROPHET OF BONES is set in present day. But it is a present day in which Darwin’s theory of evolution has fallen out of favor with the scientific community as carbon dating confirmed once and for all that the Earth was only 5,800 years old. Creationism is taught in primary schools. Paul Carlson, a brilliant young archaeologist, is dispatched to the Indonesian island of Flores to take DNA samples from the bones of a strange, new species of tool user—a species nicknamed “the hobbit.” All agree that as God made Man in his image this is a species that shouldn’t exist. In a world where science exists in parity with religion, the repercussions of Paul’s discovery threaten to rip into the very fabric of society. The status quo, in the form of the word’s governments and Martial Johnston, the eccentric billionaire who financed Paul’s dig, will stop at nothing to stop Paul as he flees Indonesia armed with little more than his wits, struggling to unite the pieces of the puzzle he has uncovered. As action-packed and fast-paced as it is unique, THE PROPHET OF BONES introduces the thriller world both to a spectacular new talent in Ted Kosmatka and a unique and complicated hero in Paul Carlson. Ted Kosmatka’s first novel, The Games, was published by Del-Rey . His short fiction has been nominated for both the Nebula Award and the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and appeared in numerous Year’s Best collections. He now works in the videogame industry, where he’s a full-time writer at Valve, home of Half-Life, Portal and Dota 2. Advance praise for THE PROPHET OF BONES : “Some good writers are not good storytellers and some good storytellers are not good writer. Fortunately for all of us, Ted Kosmatka is both an excellent writer and a hell of a storyteller… Prophet of Bones is truly hard to put down. This is what a novel is about.”—Nelson DeMille “A masterwork of intrigue and menace. I couldn't put Prophet of Bones down until I reached the climax… An eye-opening and page-turning read without parallel.”—Clive Cussler British: Michael Joseph Translation: Henry Holt Rights sold: German / Blanvalet, Italian / Rizzoli, Japanese / Hayakawa
