Storm have signed two psychological thrillers by the critically acclaimed author of The Raven’s Mark, Christie J. Newport. Deputy Managing Director Claire Bord agreed a deal for World English Language rights for two books with Elizabeth Counsell at Northbank Talent. The first book will be published in May 2024 and opens with Olive Brown receiving a threatening letter linking her to a notorious 1950’s psychiatric hospital – the ‘Wynwarden Asylum.’ The second novel, which tells the story of a Jamaican nurse whose children and husband disappear, will publish in September 2024.
Christie says:
“I am thrilled to be working with Claire Bord and the Storm publishing team. Claire’s passion for my writing and her understanding of the stories and characters resonated strongly with me. I believe she is the right person to help me make these books the very best they can be. I can’t wait to bring these stories to readers.”
Bord adds:
“Christie writes emotional and unputdownable twist-filled stories. What really stands out about Christie’s novels is that she has rooted them in real-life events, exploring themes and stories that give a voice to those afraid to speak out. She’s a hugely talented writer, and I can’t wait to bring Christie’s novels to readers in 2024.”
