Mark Newton<\/a> is a good friend of this blog, so I was pretty excited when the book he wrote (and I REVIEWED<\/a>) didn’t suck. In fact, it was pretty damn good. The rub?

PRESS RELEASE \u2013 TWO-BOOK US RIGHTS DEAL FOR NEW BRITISH FANTASY WRITER<\/p>\n

Margaret Halton, Rights Director at Pan Macmillan, has sold US rights in two fantasy novels by UK novelist Mark Charan Newton to Chris Schluep for a good five-figure sum in US dollars.<\/p>\n

World rights in the novels, which open with Mark\u2019s mainstream debut NIGHTS OF VILLJAMUR (to be published in hardback in the UK in June 2009), were acquired by Peter Lavery at Tor UK from John Jarrold in 2008.<\/p>\n

Chris Schluep said: \u2018I am so excited to be publishing NIGHTS OF VILLJAMUR, which is an absolutely wonderful book, and I\u2019m very much looking forward to launching the U.S. career of an important and talented new writer in the field. I\u2019m convinced that Mark has a bright future ahead of him; he\u2019s one of those writers that you come across only on occasion . . .\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Chris acted quickly and with great enthusiasm. Mark and I are delighted, and looking forward to working with him and his colleagues at Del Rey, who I know well,\u2019 said John Jarrold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s about time. Good on Del Rey<\/strong> for grabbing Mark while they still can, I have a feeling they won’t regret it. You can check out my interview with Mark HERE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
