We’re so pleased to share the news that Editorial Director Emily Gowers has acquired World All Language rights, including film and TV, for three books in a brand new historical cosy crime series by bestselling author Benedict Brown. The first book in the Marius Quin series will publish November 2023.
Benedict says,
“I’m so excited to be working with such a passionate and knowledgeable group of people at Storm. Having worked alone on my two previous mystery series, I can’t wait to discover where this collaboration will take me and my books.”
Emily says,
“I am thrilled to be working with Benedict on these books! What began as a relaxing escapist read of his Lord Edgington series sparked something in me to want to reach out, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve loved getting to know Benedict and developing the brilliant character of Marius and his extended family together has been a joy. Benedict’s creativity and enthusiasm are boundless and infectious, and I can’t wait to keep working with him to bring these books to life and get them out to new and existing fans.”
Get to know Benedict at his website, on Facebook and on Instagram.
