Editorial Director Emily Gowers has acquired World All Languages rights, including film and TV, for Irina Shapiro’s complete nine-book Echoes from the Past series.
The series follows renowned archaeologist Dr. Quinn Allenby, who possesses a remarkable ability: she can see into the past when holding an object that belonged to the dead. Can Quinn’s gift unlock not only heart-breaking stories from the past, but also the secrets of her own shocking family history…? The series will be rebranded for release between August and September this year.
Irina says,
“I am very excited for Emily and Storm Publishing to bring fresh perspective and their creative expertise to a series that’s so close to my heart. I’m extremely grateful for the care and attention they have lavished on every book we’ve published together and can’t wait for new readers to meet Dr. Quinn Allenby and learn all about her unique gift.”
Emily says,
“I’m so excited to be publishing this gorgeous series and captivate more readers with Irina’s immaculate storytelling. Quinn is a fascinating protagonist whose unique ability to connect with the past creates a perfect blend of historical mystery and contemporary drama. I’m honoured to work with Irina on this compelling series and can’t wait for August!”
