Excitement abound this week, as finished copies of Femi Kayode's forthcoming debut novel, Lightseekers, landed with us. 

The first in the new series, featuring investigative psychologist, Philip Taiwo, will be published by Bloomsbury Raven next month. 

In addition, the book was included in Goodreads' '75 Debut Novels to Discover in 2021' - to see the full list, click here.


More finished copies arrived this week - the debut adult crime novel by David Fennell, The Art of Death (February 2021, Zaffre Books). 

This is the beginning of a gripping new series, set in London, with DI Grace Archer at the helm. Perfect for fans of Chris Carter, M. W. Craven and Alex North (The Whisper Man). 

We were delighted to see a new endorsement for this fab page-turner, from Susi Holliday:

"A serial killer classic in the making, The Art of Death is neatly plotted, perfectly paced and brilliantly characterised with a clever concept that hooks you in and holds you tight, right up to the extremely satisfying final page."

Congratulations to Stephen Moss, whose book The Swallow: A Biography, has been shortlisted for the Richard Jeffries / White Horse Bookshop Prize. 

It is awarded annually to the author of the publication considered by the judging panel to be the most outstanding nature writing published in a given calendar year. The winning work must reflect the heritage and spirit of Richard Jefferies’ countryside books. You can find more info here.

Victoriocity, the podcast created and hosted by clients Chris and Jen Sugden was recommended on BBC Radio 4's Front Row this week: "It's like if you put Sherlock Holmes in a blender with Dickens and strained it through a Terry Pratchett filter - the result is a whole lot of fun." If you're looking for a new podcast to get stuck into, look no further.

Additionally, Murmurs, the BBC audio drama Chris and Jen wrote an episode of, has been shortlisted for the BBC Audio Awards. Congratulations, both!


Una-Mary Parker's The Granville Sisters is included in Apple's UK's 'Free First in a Series' promo, running 11th - 26th January. If you're an Apple Books customer (UK-based), then the first in this gorgeous, glamorous series, packed with familial drama, is absolutely free.

Two glorious covers had their reveals this week:

Jo Thomas' Chasing the Italian Dream is the *perfect* getaway book during a time when we can but only dream of such things. This is a deliciously feel-good story about making your dreams come true, set in sun-kissed southern Italy (May 2021, Transworld). 

The Caravan at the Edge of Doom, the debut children's novel by Jim Beckett, is a magical, action-packed adventure, perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and David Walliams (May 2021, Egmont). 

To read more about these fantastic books, click on their titles above.

World English Rights for Morwellham's Child and The River Girl, two previously published titles were bought by Joffe Books and will be republished late this year. Congratulations, Tania!
