New Acquisition and Sale: Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre, formerly with Bradford Lit, has signed a new agency representation agreement with Dear Author Literary Agency. We made an immediate sale on behalf of Ms. Aguirre to Malle Vallik of Harlequin. The Publishers’ Marketplace blurb will read as follows:

Ann Aguirre’s DEER LICK SEASON, and two accompanying novellettes, in which a town of widowed virgins are hassled by the human men until the weredeer come to their rescue. This spicy trilogy is due for
publication in late 2009 in a nice deal to Malle Vallik by Jane Litte
of D.A.M.N.

New Acquisition and Sale: International Consoritum of Heroes

I’m thrilled to announce the purchase of the non fiction memoir of the International Consortium of Heroes. This book was sold at auction after an intense bidding war. We started the bidding fairly high as I knew that this speciality piece would either be very attractive or loser publishers wouldn’t be able to see the genius of it. Fortunately folks at one house in particular recognized that a non fiction memoir of a number of men who have already starred in bestselling novels and have fired the sexual imaginations of millions of readers was not to be missed.

We are a bit concerned regarding the pictorial content. We intend to include several illustrations and color photographs to tell the story and will need to hammer out exactly the rights issue regarding that but overall, our mid six figure sale is a great way to launch this highly respected agency. One day open and we are already blowing the competition out of the water.
