HarperCollins Has Gone Digital!

We’re saving trees with an online catalog.

Starting this month, all HarperCollins sales catalogs will be phased out and publications will now be searchable online by going to: www.harpercollinscatalogs.com

The new online catalog is even better than a printed catalog because you will be able to search titles and create lists, sorting by author, title, category, ISBN or pub month.  You’ll also be able to get up-to-the-minute news of any add-on titles, important schedule changes, national publicity alerts, and more.

This online catalog will be an extremely useful tool not only for acquiring new books but it will also help you fill holes in your collection by providing easy access to backlist titles by every author in the catalog.  Once you’ve had time to navigate the site, we’d love to hear your feedback.

Send an email to: librarylovefest@harpercollins.com  

Thanks so much.  Have fun checking out the catalog!

What’s Your Craziest Library Moment?

OEditions2 Over on The Roaring 20s, I'm asking readers for their craziest library story.  I was inspired by this news article, about a 26 year old who was locked in his local library.  The best 5 stories will receive a complete set of Harper Perennial’s Olive Editions: Michael Chabon’s The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything is Illuminated.  Email your best story to roaring20s@harpercollins.com or leave one in the comments of the post. Happy writing!

Laura Lippman featured this week on B&N Center Stage

Each week Barnes & Noble Center Stage features one bestselling author with a new release—but the conversation will include all of that author’s books, not just the new one. It’s a great opportunity for you to ask your favorite authors any question, but it’s even more perfect if you have a “big picture” question about how they write, what ties their books together, who inspires them, and much, much more.


Make sure you stop by Center Stage now to ask Laura your question!


Check out this video of Laura discussing Life Sentences.

A Hump-Day Giveaway

Captain_freedom pb cWe're halfway through the week and ready to celebrate! Over at The Roaring 20s, I'm giving away 25 copies of G. Xavier Robillard's Captain Freedom, a satirical novel about a disgraced superhero’s search for a new career, his true archenemy… and a girlfriend. 

Packed with pop culture references, Robillard goes non-stop from page one, racing through the twisted story of Captain Freedom.  The action starts with Freedom’s fall from grace on the world stage, a disastrous dinner party and his search for a sidekick to his flagging comic book sales, a stint in rehab, his disastrous children’s book, a run for political office and finally, his true calling. This wild ride of a satire sends up celebrity, politics, Hollywood, the fashion world, upper management, current events and much more, including the beloved world of comic books. High-tail it to Roaring for your chance to win!
