This week, there were not one, not two, but THREE reviews in three of Australia's top publications for Liberation, the novelised true-story of Nancy Wake by Imogen Kealey and client Imogen Robertson:

​"Difficult to put down."
Courier Mail

"A thrilling, novelised account of Wake's time in France, which vividly recreates some of her amazing exploits and the dangerous time through which she lived."
Sydney Daily Telegraph

"An incredible true story."
​Who Weekly

Ragnar Jónasson's forthcoming The Mist, the third in his Hidden Iceland series starring DI Hulda Hermansdottir, has been given a cracking review in Kirkus this week:

"Jónasson weaves his suspenseful tales together with remorseless logic up to a climax more nightmarish than the buildup."

The Mist is published on 30th April, and to read the entire review, click here.

Ragnar has also written a short story for Scotland's Daily Record, set in the Icelandic town of Siglufjördur, the very same town where his Dark Iceland series, featuring Ari Thor, is set.

Finally, we are delighted to reveal the cover for Micaiah Johnson's forthcoming SFF debut, The Space Between Worlds. 

Set for release in August 2020, the book is a cross between Mad Max and Blake Crouch's Dark Matter. 

In a world where travelling between parallel earths has become possible, there is just one problem in that no one can visit earth where they are still alive. Born in the wastelands outside of Wiley City, Cara is dead in all but eight of the 382 worlds have been unlocked. Now she's landed a job travelling the 'multiverse', but the information Cara gathers on other earths reveals terrible truths about the nature of her own world meaning she faces a harrowing choice: should she risk everything she's worked for to expose the truth?

The book was sold as a pre-empt to Hodder & Stoughton, in a deal negotiated by Harry Illingworth, on behalf of Cameron McClure at Donald Mass Literary Agency. US rights were sold to Crown, who are planning a simultaneous publication.
