Marly Youmans is having a busy year; she recently finished events for her 2011 book of poetry, The Throne of Psyche, and has begun readings and talks for her brand new novel, A Death at the White Camellia Orphanage (Mercer University Press - Winner of The Ferrol Sams Award for Fiction.)

Although only two of her nine books are intended for children, The National Book Foundation felt that she would bring "a fresh angle of vision" to the panel of judges.

"The Blueberry Years is a mouthwatering and delightful memoir based on Jim Minick's experiences as an organic blueberry farmer. This story of one couple, one farm, and one thousand bushes transports readers so that they experience the joys and frustrations of creating and operating one of the mid-Atlantic's first certified-organic, pick-your-own blueberry farms. Written by a farmer who also is a poet, The Blueberry Years follows in the vein of The Omnivore's Dilemma or Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, where lyrical writing captures a well-told story about food, family, and the choices we make with every bite"--Cover, p. 2.

In "Heading Out to Wonderful," an attractive and enigmatic stranger--Charlie Beale, a loner, recently home from the war in Europe--wanders into the town of Brownsburg, a sleepy village of only a few hundred people nestled in the Valley of Virginia. He brings with him two suitcases: one contains all his worldly possessions, including a set of butcher's knives; the other is full of money.Charlie quickly finds a job at the local butcher shop and through his work there meets all the townspeople, most notably Sam Haislett, the five-year-old son of the shop's owner, and Sylvan Glass, the beautiful, eccentric teenage bride of the town's richest man. What no one anticipates is how the interaction of these three people will alter the town forever, and how the passion that flares between Charlie and Sylvan will mark young Sam for life.Told through the eyes of Sam, now an older man looking back on that time, this much-anticipated follow-up to "A Reliable Wife "is an exciting, erotically charged, and altogether unforgettable story of love gone terribly wrong in a place where once upon a time such things could happen.
