The multi-million £ digital publisher Bookouture, a division of Hachette, has fought off competition to sign psychological thriller Valentina author S. E. Lynes to a 3-book deal.
We are delighted that Susie will next be published by this forward-thinking digital publisher who offer authors good royalties and a mind-blowingly dynamic publicity machine. Bookouture editor Jenny Geras will, without any shadow of a doubt, take S E Lynes right to the top of the mainstream UK and US market where many new devoted fans will be made.
'I was a huge fan of Valentina, and so have been pursuing Susie since I arrived at Bookouture and Mother is another brilliantly written, dark and disturbing psychological thriller which her fans will love.' Bookouture editor, Jenny Geras
Mother will be published in December 2017. We, meanwhile, will continue to enjoy working with S E Lynes as a Blackbird author, and Valentina as a Blackbird title.
We are immensely proud to have discovered this major talent and to have brought Valentina to market, thanks, not least, to our brilliant young commissioning editor, Rosalie Love. Another name to watch out for in the future, alongside our fantastic catalogue of carefully-chosen new and rights-reverted authors.
