Commissioning editor Kate Smith has acquired World All Language rights in e-book, paperback and audio for two psychological thrillers by Danielle M. Wong from Liza Fleissig of Liza Royce Associates.
Before I Fade will be published in July 2025. An ambitious journalist’s career-making interview with a reclusive sculptor unravels into a web of dark secrets when she accepts his invitation to stay at his isolated estate and discovers unsettling echoes of her own past.
Danielle M. Wong is the award-winning author of Last Liar Standing and Swearing Off Stars. Her writing has appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, HuffPost, and Writer’s Digest.
Wong says:
“I am thrilled to be working with my editor, Kate, and the entire team at Storm! I’m grateful that my next two psychological thrillers found such a wonderful home, and I look forward to sharing these stories with readers!”
Smith says:
“I’m beyond thrilled to be working with Danielle on her utterly brilliant psychological thrillers. I instantly connected with her tone of voice, which is both compulsive and lyrical, and builds tension line-by-line and page-per-page. Readers are going to be up all night reading her suspenseful, insanely twisty novels.”
