Storm Publishing has re-signed bestselling author Angela Henry in a two-book deal, acquired by Kate Smith. Henry is the author of the bestselling The Perfect Affair, a novel that struck a chord with readers and helped build a large and devoted following.

Henry’s audiobooks have been a runaway success, carrying her twisting, emotionally charged thrillers to a fast-growing audience of listeners. Reviewers have consistently praised her sharp characterisation, immersive storytelling and the propulsive pace that keeps readers turning pages long into the night.

The first of the two new novels, The Night She Ran, will publish in April 2027 and will also be available in conventional print, distributed through Two Rivers Distribution (Ingram). The second novel will follow in July 2027.

Kate Smith said:

“It has been such a joy to work with Angela on her brilliant thrillers over the last three years. She has such a talent for creating characters who feel real, and for layering clever twists that sneak up on you when you least expect it, all while exploring complex themes that stay with you long after the last page. I’m delighted we will be publishing more.”

Angela Henry added:

“The team at Storm have been absolutely amazing to work with and have helped my books reach new heights. I’m beyond grateful to Kate for her enthusiasm, expertise, and belief in my work, and so excited to write more twisty thrillers.”
