Storm has signed two more psychological thrillers by chart-topping and award-winning author Amanda McKinney. The first novel, Killer Twist, follows author Savanna ‘Savi’ Portman who discovers a local murder eerily mirrors her unpublished manuscript. Deputy Managing Director Claire Bord agreed World English Language rights for the two books with Jill Marsal at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency.
McKinney says:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to continue working with the incredible team at Storm. From the moment we partnered, they’ve championed my work with passion, creativity, and vision. I can’t wait to bring readers two more twisty, emotionally charged thrillers—and I’m especially excited for them to meet Savi Portman.”
Claire Bord commented:
“Amanda McKinney has proven herself to be an absolute master of the psychological thriller genre. A Marriage of Lies has been a runaway success in audio, captivating listeners around the world with its intricate plot and heart-stopping suspense. Her new novel delivers the same jaw-dropping twists and unforgettable characters that readers have come to expect. Amanda’s ability to craft page-turning thrillers that keep you up all night is unparalleled. We’re delighted to be publishing two more of her exceptional novels and expanding her global readership even further.”
Killer Twist will be published in September 2025 with the second book following in March 2026. Both novels will be released in ebook, audio and paperback.
