Last week shall henceforth be known as 'Tom Hindle' week:

The paperback for his debut novel, A Fatal Crossing, was revealed as Waterstones' Thriller of the Month for August. The news comes with a nationwide campaign, including much-coveted promo spots all over London's rail stations.

To go along with the news, Tom wrote a piece for the Waterstones blog, on his favourite crime mysteries taking place "on the move".

Clearly a man of great taste, the list includes fellow DHH stablemate Stuart Turton's second novel, The Devil and the Dark Water.

Finally, Tom's current publisher, Century, have bought the next two books from Tom, beginning with The Murder Game, a contemporary locked-room crime novel, centred around a killing which takes place at a murder mystery party in a crumbling country hotel on the Devon coast.  

Century's Emily Griffin bought World Rights from Harry Illingworth, and The Murder Game is due for publication in February 2023.

The debut novel from Georgia Kaufmann, The Dressmaker of Paris (January 2021, Hodder & Stoughton), has sold Romanian rights to Humanitas.

This marks the 13th foreign territory the book has sold in. Congratulations, Georgia!

The paperback of the second book from The Lost Ones author, Anita Frank - The Return - was published last week. 

A breathtaking WW2 love story, The Times said of it: "​An engaging story of secrets, sacrifice and the persistence of love."


The cover for Julie Caplin's (also known as Jules Wake) new 'Romantic Escapes' novel, The Christmas Castle in Scotland​ (October 2022, One More Chapter), has been revealed:

Unwrap this gorgeous gift of a book for an escape to the snow-peaked caps of the Scottish Highlands and a romance that will melt your heart…

Izzy McBride had never in a million years expected to inherit an actual castle from her great uncle Bill but here she was, in the run up to Christmas, Monarch of her own Glen – a very rundown glen in need of a lot of TLC if her dream of turning it into a boutique bed and breakfast was to come true.
​

But when Izzy’s eccentric mother rents a room to enigmatic thriller author Ross Adair and the Scottish snow starts to settle like the frosting on a Christmas cake, it’s a race to get the castle ready before they’re all snowed in for the holidays.

Bestselling author, Phillipa Ashley, will be appearing at the Sandon Literature Festival in September, and tickets are available now. 

Having created its very own literature festival to take over the Hall, all Sandon's profits will be donated to the Staffordshire Women's Aid. 

Phillipa will be in conversation with fellow author, Katie Fforde, about keeping the romance of summer alive in their gorgeous 'getaway' novels. 


To celebrate the publication of her most recent novel, Retreat to the Spanish Sun, Jo Thomas wrote a piece for MyWeekly on finding inspiration in travel; something that is key to her trademark novels, designed to whisk you away for a few hours.

Her Perfect Twin by Sarah Bonner was reviewed in an edition of the Daily Mail last week:

"Sarah Bonner's first novel is a dangerous thriller about family secrets, gaslighting, and a deadly sibling rivalry."

Congratulations to client Lucy Fulford, who last week sold her non-fiction book, The Exiled: Empire, Immigration and How Ugandan Asians Changed Britain, to Hodder & Stoughton imprint, Coronet. The book is a narrative history of the Asian population of Uganda who were expelled by President Idi Amin in 1972.

Joelle Owusu-Sekyere, commissioning editor, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights including audio from Broo Doherty at D H H Literary Agency. It will be published in hardback, e-book and audio on 3rd August 2023.
