Editorial Director Vicky Blunden has acquired World All Language rights for three books by Gigi Pandian from Jill Marsal of Marsal Lyon Literary Agency.
The Scottish Treasure Hunt Mystery series is a new contemporary cozy adventure series set in the Scottish Highlands. In the first book, historian Jaya Jones is whisked to a castle in Scotland to compete for the chance to become the in-house treasure hunter. But when the competitors unearth a body instead of a prize, Jaya finds herself trapped in a castle full of suspects, with a murder mystery to solve.
Pandian says,
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Vicky Blunden and the whole team at Storm on this series that brings my long-running character Jaya Jones into an exciting new chapter in Scotland. As soon as Vicky and I connected, I immediately knew she understood my vision for the series and was the right editorial champion for my mash-up of cozy mystery and adventure with a swoony dash of romance, and to bring Jaya to a whole new readership. I can hardly wait to share the Scottish Treasure Hunt Mysteries with readers!”
Blunden says,
“I am so excited to be publishing Gigi Pandian’s brilliant new series. Gigi has such a devoted and passionate readership, and it’s easy to see why; she writes the most wonderfully inventive mysteries, with puzzle plots that are genuinely fiendish and packed with warmth and humor too. Her books feel like a real adventure while wrapping you up in the coziest reading experience imaginable. This brilliant new series has all the ingredients that make Gigi’s writing so irresistible to her fans. I know readers are going to love it and I cannot wait to get it into their hands.”
Gigi Pandian is the USA Today bestselling, Agatha and Anthony Award-winning author of multiple mystery series and a co-founder of Crime Writers of Color. She lives in Northern California.
