I see that the new Emily Bestler Books web site is has been launched. Emily Bestler Books is the imprint of Simon and Schuster that published my second novel, “Survivors: A Novel of the Coming Collapse”. In September, they will be publishing my third in the series,  “Founders: A Novel of the Coming Collapse.” (That completed novel is now in second galleys, and the audio book is about to be recorded.) I’m presently writing the fourth novel, under the working title “Expatriates.” That book will be published by E.P. Dutton, the parent company of Penguin books. (Penguin published my popular nonfiction book “How to Survive the )End of the World as We Know It”.)
