​We’re kicking off this week’s news roundup with the fantastic news that The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton has won the Costa First Novel Award 2018! We are over the moon for Stuart, his agent Harry and the whole team at Bloomsbury Raven. A superb beginning to the year. The overall winner of the Costas will be announced on the 29th January 2019.
 
Congratulations to Rachael Featherstone, whose debut novel Puzzle Girl was published in paperback earlier this week by the Dome Press. It has already garnered some fabulous praise during the blog tour “hugely entertaining”, “an hilarious but considered storyline” and possibly our favourite so far: “I’m just going to say this… I love, love, love, LOVE this book! The end”.
 
A Store At War, the debut novel by Joanna Toye, was also published this week by HarperCollins. This gripping wartime drama that has been described by Veronica Henry as “a real page-turner”.
 
The Guardian has selected their ‘ones to watch’, and Luke Turner’s Out of the Woods is sitting firmly on their list for January. Described as a “powerful memoir”, the book is centred on Epping Forest, about sexual abuse, a religious upbringing and life as a bisexual man. It will be published on the 24th January 2019.

Staying with Out of the Woods, The Spectator’s Ben Myers reviewed it this week, and what a fantastic review it is! “Out of the Woods is a book full of poetry and pathos. More than anything it is a bold and beautiful study of how to be a true modern man.” To read the full review, click here.
​The cover for Kate Mallinder’s debut YA novel, Summer Of No Regrets, has been revealed and it’s already got us in the mood for the warmer seasons! Simply stunning, this thought-provoking & moving novel will be released by Firefly Press on the 2nd May 2019.
 
Also revealed this week, was the cover for Tania Crosse's new novel The Street of Broken Dreams, the second in the Banbury Street series. Perfect for fans of Elaine Everest and Daisy Styles, this is a poignant story, which will tear at your heart-strings.
