I’m a country mile beyond thrilled to announce a brand new deal with Orbit UK (an imprint of Little Brown UK / Hachette) to distribute two of my upcoming novels. Next summer, Orbit will be teaming with North American publishers, Tor Nightfire, to bring my novel BOYS IN THE VALLEY to readers worldwide.
Making this deal with Orbit is one of the great thrills of my career. I can't tell you how amazing it was to be on a call with Orbit editor Nadia Saward and hear their marketing / PR plans for me and the book(s) over the next couple years.
Really hoping that more of my titles find a home with this outstanding publisher. While they're not traditionally known as a horror publisher in the UK, they have immense scale and are looking to break into horror in a big way, and will be using BOYS IN THE VALLEY as a major launching pad.
To be with the same publisher as Robert Jordan, Terry Brooks, Ann Leckie, N.K. Jemisin, Jim Butcher... is just crazy. But now it's time to bring the horror!
Full announcement from Orbit can be read HERE.
For UK customers, PREORDER is now live.
US preorders will be live soon, please subscribe to my newsletter to get all the updates.
Huge thank you’s to my agent, Elizabeth Copps; my Nightfire editor, Kristin Temple; Chris Scheina at Macmillan for making the deal, and Nadia Saward at Orbit UK for her enthusiasm and excitement regarding my work.
And thanks again to Paul Miller at Earthling for first publishing BOYS in a limited edition, and to Sadie Hartmann for bringing some very welcome attention to the novel.
As mentioned, this deal includes a 2nd novel to be released in 2024. Can’t wait for the next couple years and I hope folks everywhere enjoy the stories.
