Tim Tebow writing book on ‘life’s storms’

NEW YORK

A new book by former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow will be a guide on how to handle success and disappointment.

WaterBrook, a Christian imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, told The Associated Press last week that it will publish Tebow’s “Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life’s Storms” in October.

Tebow will write about maintaining perspective “when your dreams do not go as planned.” WaterBrook also plans a companion Bible study.

Tebow has been a prominent advocate for Christianity. His memoir “Through My Eyes” was a best-seller in 2011.

Young-adult version of ‘Da Vinci Code’

NEW YORK

Dan Brown wants to let younger readers in on the secret.

The million-selling author is working on a young-adult version of his blockbuster “The Da Vinci Code,” the U.S. and UK children’s divisions of Random House announced last week.

First published in 2003, Brown’s thriller about conspiracies and cults has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide and was adapted into a hit movie.

Brown, whose book comes out in September, said in a statement that he hoped the new edition would give young people “the same thrill of discovery” that he gets from the “mysteries of the world we live in.”
