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.

| 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 |  |
