Hot News for 2011

Walker/Bloomsbury will publish Georgia's first non-fiction book HOW THEY CROAKED about how famous people died.

Every kid knows how Abraham Lincoln died, but do they know that George Washington died of a sore throat or that Beethoven had lead poisoning and his stomach was drained using something resembling a backyard garden hose? Famous people from history have one thing in common: they all died. HOW THEY CROAKED starts where other biographical anthologies leave off, the bitter end.
