Over the weekend, we were delighted to see Noel O'Reilly's upcoming novel, The Darlings of the Asylum (HQ, December 2022) reviewed in The Times, who branded this fabulous historical tale "always engaging".

Last week, we welcomed the first of three new clients to the Agency. 

Boston-based Ryan Rose, who works in event production, joins Harry Illingworth's list, and will be working on his debut novel, Seven Recipes for Revolution.

The Danish rights for M. W. Craven's forthcoming standalone, Fearless, were sold to current Denmark publishers, Jentas. 

Fearless is the first in a new series, featuring Ben Koenig, and will be released in June 2023.

David Headley saw two new clients join his list last week:

Jón Atli Jónasson is one of Iceland's foremost playwrights and his plays have been performed in London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Athens. He has also written several scripts for film, most notably The Deep, produced by 101 Studios Iceland, based on his own play. ​Jón Atli has various projects in different stages of development, with companies including Warner Brothers TV in Germany and Turbine Studios in the UK.

Kathy Lette is a journalist, sitcom writer and author, who has several international bestsellers under her belt, including Mad Cow, How To Kill Your Husband (And Other Handy Household Tips) and The Boy Who Fell To Earth. Her novels have been published in seventeen languages around the world - and we have very exciting news about Kathy, coming very soon...!

Get your diaries out, bookworms: client Victoria Selman will be taking part in a 2023 event at Goldsboro Books Brighton: Celebrating Women In Crime Fiction. 

Victoria will be sitting down with fellow female crime heavyweights, Elly Griffiths, Araminta Hall and Ruth Ware on Wednesday 1st March at 6.30pm.

Everyone is looking for Ben Koenig. Be careful what you wish for.

Ben Koenig is a ghost. He doesn't exist any more.

Six years ago it was Koenig who headed up the US Marshal's elite Special Ops group. They were the elite unit who hunted the bad guys - the really bad guys. They did this so no one else had to.

Until the day Koenig disappeared. He told no one why and he left no forwarding address. For six years he became a grey man. Invisible. He drifted from town to town, state to state. He was untraceable. It was as if he had never been.

But now Koenig's face is on every television screen in the country. Someone from his past is trying to find him and they don't care how they do it. In the burning heat of the Chihuahuan Desert lies a town called Gauntlet, and there are people in there who have a secret they'll do anything to protect. They've killed before and they will kill again.

Only this time they've made a mistake. They've dismissed Koenig as just another drifter - but they're wrong. Because Koenig has a condition, a unique disorder that makes it impossible for him to experience fear. 

​And now they're about to find out what a truly fearless man is capable of. Because Koenig's coming for them. And hell's coming with him...

Finally, we were thrilled with the news last week that Sean Lusk's debut, The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley, as well as appearing on BBC2's Between the Covers, was shortlisted for the Scottish First Book of the Year Award 2022.

The Scottish National Book Awards have been awarded by the Saltire Society since 1937 and in 2022 are supported by The National Library of Scotland and the Scottish Historical Review Trust.  All entrants must be born in Scotland, live in Scotland or their books must be about Scotland. 
​
The winners of each category will receive a bespoke Award created by Inverness-based artist Simon Baker of Evergreen Studios.  Winners of all the Awards will be announced at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh on the evening of 8 December attended by the judges, shortlisted authors and publishers.
