Recent Highlights at Lucinda Literary

Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson released her new book, Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Thin, Happy, and Free, which was a New York Times bestseller and #1 New Release on Amazon and continues to take the health and dieting world by storm. We were overjoyed to see Susan at her book launch event at Middle Collegiate Church in New York City, attended by almost 800 people, where Susan rocked the stage to a long standing ovation. Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology, and biology, Bright Line Eating explains why people who are desperate to lose weight fail again and again: it’s because the brain blocks weight loss. By working with four “Bright Lines”—clear, unambiguous, boundaries—Susan  shows us how to heal our brains and shift it into a mode where it is ready to shed pounds, release cravings, and stop sabotaging our weight loss goals. We at Lucinda Literary are grateful to be a part of the Bright Line Eating movement, a paradigm shift in nutrition and psychology alike that is changing the way we approach weight loss, helping tens of thousands of people across the globe be and stay happy, thin, and free.

Peter Heller, bestselling author of the gorgeous, post-apocalyptic bestseller, THE DOG STARS spoke at Greenlight Bookstore with Emily St. John Mandel (Station Eleven) in Brooklyn as part of his book tour for Celine, already named an Indie and Denver Post bestseller, a luminous, masterful novel of suspense — the story of Celine, an elegant, aristocratic private eye who specializes in reuniting families, trying to make amends for a loss in her own past. We had the pleasure of witnessing Peter’s riveting discussion of his distinct craft of poetry and prose, how he begins a novel based on “the music of the first line” and how Celine was a means to spend more time with his mother who had recently passed away. In his latest Amazon article, “How I Went From Journalist To Fiction Writer” Peter details the wild path he trod to literary stardom, from his early beginnings as a pizza delivery boy and his first day in journalism when a man died in his arms. We’ll be reading Celine with Lucinda Literary’s Book Club at WeWork next month. (Email connor@lucindaliterary if you’re interested in joining!)

Along with Peter Heller, we are thrilled to have Ann Shoket join our speakers bureau in conjunction with her incredible new book THE BIG LIFE — a guide for millennial women who are changing what it means to be powerful and successful in the world. As the editor-in-chief of Seventeen and a co-founding editor of CosmoGIRL, Ann has been a key architect in shaping the national conversation for millennial women. Ann’s popular Badass Babes dinners with millennial women (and men) recently attracted the attention of Good Morning America and the New York Times, and is inspiring a generation of women who are determined to carve their own path, on their own terms. We are supremely excited to carry the millennial conversation with Ann and help young women tap into their ambition, honor their dreams, and create their own version of The Big Life. Find Ann on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
