Kicking off this week’s news roundup with the wonderful news that client Olivia Lara has signed a two-book deal with Head of Zeus imprint Aria, negotiated by Hannah Sheppard. Someday In Paris follows two people who are destined to fall in love again and again, but cannot find a way to be together. Beginning in 1950s France and spanning decades, it is about dreams, missed opportunities and the kind of love that survives time, distance… even death. It is due for publication in May 2020.


​We have some fantastic deal news in the wake of this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair:
 
. Clare Boyd’s Three Secrets sold to Newton Compton, Italy
. Sky’s the Limit by Janie Millman went to Bragelonne in France
. Anita Frank’s gothic debut novel The Lost Ones has been sold to Portugal’s 2020
. Both of M.W. Craven’s Washington Poe books, The Puppet Show and Black Summer have sold to Jentas in Denmark
. The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton has wracked up its 30th territory with Grupo Almedina in Portugal

Dave Wragg’s fantasy debut The Black Hawks is a No.1 bestseller on Kindle in the fantasy genre. Fancy helping it stay there? The deal is still well & truly on, and you can download your copy here.

​It’s been a busy week for Samantha Baines and her debut children’s novel Harriet Versus the Galaxy! The book was joyously selected as Booktrust’s Bookmark Book of the Month. Read her interview with them here.
 
Also loving Harriet this month is Somerset newspaper Parent Talk, who have picked it as one of their Editor’s Choice in their Christmas edition.

Thank you to Nina Pottell over at Prima Magazine who, rather wonderfully, chose The Snow Dragon by Abi Elphinstone (illustrations by Fiona Woodcock) as one of her Children’s picks for the Christmas issue.

​Eve Seymour appeared on BBC 4’s Everything Is Connected on Sunday 10th November at 9pm. This experimental film is made up of a diverse cast of people from different backgrounds. Catch up here.


​Last week, we heard the fantastic news that The Lost Ones by Anita Frank was chosen as a Bookseller Favourite in the Waterstones newsletter. We adore this post-WW2 novel that will chill you to the bone. Perfect for these cold, wintry nights, and last week, it garnered even more fantastic reviews:
 
“A welcome addition to the genre… [a] slice of superior gothic fiction.” Red Online

“If you enjoyed The Woman in Black by Susan Hill, read The Lost Ones by Anita Frank… a spine-tingling gothic tale of family tragedy, loss and redemption.” MyWeekly

“Dark and devilish.” Dark and Devilish
​

“An atmospheric Gothic debut.” Candis
