Whatever happened to the lazy days of summer? It seems that in publishing today, we work around the clock. Our authors have had a lot of exciting news to share with us. Here are some highlights:

New York Times' bestselling author, Missy Chase Lapine, creator of The Sneaky Chef books, launched her foods at Whole Foods in Westchester. Now busy families can feed their kids' favorite foods with ease.

Thomas Graboys, MD, author of LIFE IN THE BALANCE: A Doctor's Memoir of Life, Loss and Love with Parkinson's and Dementia continues to receive media attention and was featured recently in the New York Times Science Times, which raves: "Dr. Thomas Graboys's (book) stands out as a small wonder. Unsentimental and unpretentious, it manages to hit all its marks effortlessly, creating a version of the old fable as touching, educational and inspiring as if it had never been told before." Published in June, Graboy's book is already in its third printing.

BEYOND TIME OUT: From Chaos to Calm, by Beth Grosshans with Janet Burton, is off to a very strong start. Published in July, it is going back to press already, as Dr. Grosshans gears up her speaking schedule to parent groups through the Fall. She has been a featured guest in scores of radio shows and television appearances, and has also received extensive print coverage, including the The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Newark Star-Ledger, and many more. An interview with Dr. Grosshans will be published in the September issue of Parents and an excerpt of the book will run in L.A. Parent. Parenting blogs are also buzzing about Dr. Grosshans' unique approach to behavioral issues in young children.

Dr. Michael Osit, author of GENERATION TEXT: Raising Well-Adjusted Kids in an Age of Instant Everything, is also actively publicizing his new book on the radio and in print. Dr. Osit explains how technology is challenging families with a unique set of issues, and provides proven strategies to keep kids healthy, confident and safe.
