Deal Announcement: Wells & Wong 4 & 5 to Simon and Schuster US!

January 26, 2016

It’s been an incredible year for my books already, and I’ve got some more brilliant news to share with you all: Daisy and Hazel’s fourth and fifth adventures (coming March and October in the UK) have just been bought by my US publishers, Simon and Schuster!

S&S originally took three books (Murder Most Unladylike, published as Murder is Bad Manners; Arsenic for Tea, to be published in April as Poison is Not Polite; and First Class Murder, to be published in summer 2017 under its original title), so this is a wonderful vote of confidence in the series.

I couldn’t be more pleased to be working with my editor Kristin and the rest of the US team again, and I can’t wait for US readers to get their hands on more of my books! Books 4 and 5 will come to the US in 2018, so there’s a little while to wait, but I’m delighted that they’re on their way. Here’s to lots more cases for my girl detectives!
