DHH News Roundup 21st - 27th September 2020

9/25/2020

0 Comments

 
Last wee, The Bookseller ran a fantastic interview with the man who puts the 'DHH' into well, DHH Literary Agency - David Headley!

In the run-up to Frankfurt, we were delighted to see such a brilliant piece, detailing our history as an agency, and our recent successes.

In addition, it also shines a light on the 'Top 5' titles we are bringing to the digitalised Frankfurt Book Fair this year. Allow us to tell you more about them:
  • The Art of Death by David Fennell - DI Grace Archer hunts for an underground artist and serial killer who uses social media to lure his victims to their deaths, before displaying their corpses as art in public places.
  • The Planthunter by Thomas Mogford - a sweeping love story and white-knuckle adventure ride, set in 1867 bringing to life a period in history when real-life Indiana Jones characters risked their lives to find the exotic plants that fill our gardens today. 
  • A Fatal Endeavour by Tom Hindle - a golden age crime novel set in the 1920s on board the Endeavour, a cruise liner sailing to New York, where a body is found and a mystery unfolds surrounding a stolen painting and a secretive detective.
  • The Dressmaker of Paris by Georgia Kaufmann - the story of a poor country girl from a village high in the mountains of Italy, of Nazi occupation and fleeing in the night, of hope and heartbreak in Switzerland, glamour and devastation in Rio de Janeiro, success and self-discovery in New York.
  • The Diaries of Alan Rickman by Alan Rickman - kept for 25 years, and illustrated with his own highly accomplished drawings, Rickman's diaries tell the story of an extraordinary career, and of an extraordinary life. Funny, insightful, gloriously indiscreet and with a cast to die for.

With the publication of Jean Levy's second psychological thriller Other Women just over two weeks ago, the book has been picking up fantastic reviews throughout the blog tour, and we are delighted to share a few of them with you:

"I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully written book; the riveting plot twists and turns, the dialogue often sparkles with humour amidst the drama and the characters are compelling and authentic. Very highly recommended." Hair Past A Freckle

"
Levy’s writing is seriously clever and must be appreciated fully. This is not your usual easy thriller, but it’s a clever, intense, unique novel that really hooked me from the start. I loved this." Bookish Blogging

"I thought this was a brilliant read. It really thrust me into the heart of the action, I enjoyed the characterisations, the unfolding mystery, and it’s just a really cracking story." Short Book and Scribes

"Other Women is a twisted domestic take on a psychological thriller, one that kept my attention constantly throughout and was absolutely worth the late night! Yes, I loved it." The Reading Closet

Published just last week was the eBook for Jo Thomas' brand new warm and romantic feel-good book, Finding Love at the Christmas Market. 

Already off to a flying start, it has been selected for the Zoella Book Club pick for December, and readers adore this festive, sparkly read.

"It's Christmas in a book!" Katie Fforde
"Sprinkled with Christmas magic." Milly Johnson
"With a wonderful cast of characters and an evocative setting, it just wouldn't be Christmas without Jo's book in your stocking." Jill Mansell
"A scrumptious seasonal treat!" Heidi Swain

Published later this week, Clare Whitfield's debut People of Abandoned Character featured in both Woman & Home and the Sunday Times Crime Club. This dark and gothic tale set in Victorian London is the perfect read as the nights draw in and there's all the more reason to snuggle up with a good book!

On 8th October, client Luke Turner will be appearing on The Big Scottish Book Club, a the second series produced by IWC for BBC Scotland and BBC iPlayer, and hosted by Damian Barr. 

The show is inspired by Damian's popular Literary Salons, and reflects the diverse literary talents of Scotland and the world. Each week, Damian will chat to a trio of acclaimed writers from the worlds of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Filmed live at a bespoke venue just outside of Glasgow, the programme will feature the best talent from Scotland and around the world. 

We are delighted Luke (author of non-fiction memoir Out of the Woods) is scheduled to appear on the 8th October.

Finally, congratulations to Joanna Toye - her new saga series, beginning with The Victory Girls, has been bought by HarperCollins, the home of her first Shop Girl series. The deal was negotiated by Broo Doherty.

The book traces the fortunes of the girls from the Shop Girls series, Lily, Beryl and Gladys as the war enters its final year. The finale of the book takes place during the VE celebrations in London on 8th May. 

The Victory Girls will publish in May 2021.
