It's about that time again...

This week is a seasonal anomaly: I'm preparing for Book Expo America and drafting a press release for a Christmas book. What's that you say? Time for another Fa-la-la-la-Fall Frontlist Preview? (I'm so clever!)

Twice every year my desk looks like this:

This photo was taken BEFORE my mailing envelopes arrived...so imagine this, but with more boxes on the floor!

...and that's when I know it's time to get cracking on our plans for next season. Sure, it's 90 degrees outside and I'm sticking to my chair -- that doesn't mean I can't gear up for some good old fashioned Santa trapping and Penguin adventures (complete with lots of snow and appliance-juggling)! 

Check out our front list titles hitting shelves this fall!
