We’re so pleased to announce that Editorial Director Emily Gowers has acquired World All Language rights, including film and TV, for two psychological thrillers from Sally Royer-Derr. The first book will publish March 2024. Twin sisters Talia and Tabitha live a picture-perfect life, but when a new neighbour moves to their street, it’s the catalyst for revealing old secrets, with catastrophic consequences…
Sally says,
“I am thrilled to be working with the talented team at Storm Publishing. I’m also honored to be working with such a kind, enthusiastic, and encouraging editor as Emily Gowers—I’m confident our partnership will soar! The experience of the publishing team at Storm is impressive. I feel this is the first step on a very exciting adventure!”
Emily says,
“I’m so so so thrilled I get to work on these brilliant books with Sally! She writes amazing thrillers and working with her so far to develop the ideas for her characters and their dramatic lives as well as I-never-saw-that-coming twists has been an absolute joy. Readers are going to be hooked on these books and I cannot wait for it!”
