Thomas Reed Delivers a Profound, Globe-Trotting Journey of Grief and Family in POCKETFUL OF POSEYS

Tuesday, September 19th, 2023

NEW YORK, NY—SEPTEMBER 19, 2023

From Thomas Reed, the author of Seeking Hyde, a finalist in the 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award for Historical Fiction, comes a darkly comedic and reflective adventure that tests the strength of family ties amidst grief and the reveal of long-kept secrets.

Now available anywhere books are sold, Pocketful of Poseys asks the question, “When your dying mother has one last request, how can you say no?” Grace Tingley and Brian Posey are forty-something twins whose lives have gone in very different directions. When their mother Cinny is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Grace and Brian are there for her last days, where they learn Cinny has plans for them after she’s gone. They’re to sprinkle her ashes, mixed with their father’s, at a series of exotic locations around the globe—some remote, some challengingly public, all known and loved by the Poseys.

By turns hilarious, profound, jarring, and poignant, Pocketful of Poseys bounds dizzily across the United States to New Zealand, Thailand, Italy and more, as the last of Cinny Posey’s secrets are revealed and her survivors confront the strength of the ties that bind them all together—for worse and for better.

Pocketful of Poseys draws on Reed’s experience growing up in an academic family; his education at Yale, the University of Virginia, and Oxford; years spent living in Rome and Christchurch, N.Z.; travels around the world with his wife and children, and courageous decisions made by his mother-in-law as she faced her death.

“Simultaneously heartwrenching and comical, Thomas Reed’s novel Pocketful of Poseys follows a family from the death of their matriarch to their journey to scatter her ashes. . .Subtle and meaningful.”

PRESS RELEASE: Maribelle’s Shadow

Tuesday, June 27th, 2023

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK, NY — From nationally renowned observer of women’s relationships, Susannah Marren, comes a compelling tale of deception and family loyalty. Maribelle’s Shadow releases June 27th, 2023 from Beaufort Books.

As the editorial director of Palm Beach Confidential, Maribelle Walker knows what lurks beneath the glittering facade of the moneyed elite on Florida’s most glamorous coast. Or does she?
 
When her adored and impressive husband, Samuel, dies suddenly, the secrets and lies between Maribelle and her sisters rise to the surface. Compounding the anguish, the authenticity of their socially ambitious mother and lavish lifestyle of mansions, privilege and couture clothes is thrown into doubt.
 
As their carefully constructed image unravels, each sister realizes she must fend for herself. The pathway out is steep and worth any risk. Until the winner takes all.

“A great escape! Susannah Marren’s newest novel set in Palm Beach blurs the line between ‘inner sanctum’ and ‘creative wannabe,’ and will leave readers wondering if they would want to be part of the ‘in-crowd.'”

— Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg, author of THE NINE and forthcoming, DAUGHTER OF A PROMISE

From Susannah Marren comes her latest book in the luxurious world of Palm Beach, delivering a memorable novel about a seductive power play. Her other novels include A Palm Beach Scandal (September 2020), A Palm Beach Wife (April 2019), and Between the Tides (July 2015). Taking a pseudonym for her fiction writing, Susan Shapiro Barash has also written over a dozen nonfiction books, including Tripping the Prom Queen, Toxic Friends, and A Passion for More.

Fans of Lauren Weisberger’s Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty and Jane Green’s The Sunshine Sisters will be captivated by the dramatic untangling of family secrets and question of authenticity in Maribelle’s Shadow. The book is available anywhere books are sold.

Beaufort Books is an independent publisher based in New York City. Beaufort publishes a mix of non-fiction and fiction titles, with about 15–20 new titles each year. Since 2007, Beaufort has published four New York Times bestsellers.

Producer’s Memoir Reveals Hollywood Secrets

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, New York — Whether you’re trying to break into the film industry, or if you simply have a passion or curiosity for Hollywood, veteran entertainment producer Julian Schlossberg provides a tell-all in his new memoir, Try Not to Hold It Against Me (Beaufort Books; Hardcover & digital; $26.95; on sale January 31st, 2023).

“A LOVE LETTER TO SHOW BUSINESS! Try Not to Hold It Against Me is a must-read written by one of the best & funniest in the industry. Truly a fascinating memoir that will captivate & delight any reader!”

— Susan Stroman, five-time Tony Award-winning Director & Choreographer

From his nearly 60 years in show business, Schlossberg takes us through stories of a lifetime — the trials and triumphs of work and play, in every avenue of the business: negotiating with Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds, and Lillian Hellman; hosting the syndicated radio and television production “Movie Talk;” restoring Orson Welles’ masterly film adaptation of “Othello;” partying with Barbra Streisand; testifying in a lawsuit against The Beatles; and interviewing over 120 of the most influential figures for his series “Witnesses to the 20th Century.”

Written with engaging humor and self-deprecation, Try Not to Hold It Against Me gives readers a behind-the-scenes pass to Hollywood and its secrets. It’s a compelling read for entertainment-enthusiasts alike — and a one-of-a-kind autobiography by one of entertainment’s true insiders.
