Editorial Director Vicky Blunden has acquired World English Language rights, in ebook, print and audio, to an emotional women’s fiction novel from author Heather Dixon, through agent Carolyn Forde at Transatlantic Agency. At the Ocean’s Edge will publish in May 2025.
When journalist Meg Adamson, an introvert and hopeless romantic, is sent to interview a famously reclusive author in the charming seaside town of Old Port, she knows she’ll have to face up to the ghosts of her own troubled past there. As the allure of the beachside community works its magic on her and she gets to know her subject, Meg slowly falls for the handsome writer – until she’s forced to choose between betraying his trust and the story. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a New England beach town, this poignant and heartwarming tale explores the transformative power of true love and the courage it takes to pursue your dreams.
Dixon says,
“I’m so thrilled to work with Storm again and feel incredibly lucky to partner with my brilliant editor Vicky on another book. It’s been exciting exploring new characters and a new setting, and I can’t wait to bring it all to life for readers with the help of the team at Storm.”
Blunden says,
“It’s a true joy to be working with Heather on this totally bewitching love story. Heather’s first novels with us, Last Summer at the Lake House and The Summerville Sisters, cemented her reputation as a must-buy author for anyone who loves gripping, emotional, contemporary women’s fiction which goes deep into the heart of family life. At the Ocean’s Edge is the perfect summer read and I can’t wait to get it into readers’ hands.”
Heather Dixon spent over a decade in the marketing and advertising industry as a copywriter, and has written about motherhood for a number of established websites. She lives just outside of Toronto, Ontario with her husband, her three daughters and her ninety-pound Bouvier, Zoey.
