Deal Announcement from Bookouture
Bookouture re-sign contracts with Arnold, Dixon and Kernan
“Commissioning Editor Ellen Gleeson has acquired World English rights plus audio via Ann Leslie Tuttle at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret, for two standalone psychological thrillers by Jenna Kernan. THE ADOPTION, publishing May 2022, tells the story of a seemingly perfect couple who adopt a baby. But when Dani notices strangers watching her daughter, it’s clear not all is as it seems. The second book will publish in autumn 2022.
Ellen says,
‘When Jenna first sent me her synopsis for THE ADOPTION I was utterly blown away, and simply couldn’t wait to read the book itself! Jenna is the ideal Bookouture author: commercially savvy, brimming with hooky ideas, and a deep understanding of what makes readers tick. THE ADOPTION is going to be just as crazily gripping, twisty and shocking as her Agent Nadine Finch series, and I can’t wait to take Jenna’s publishing to new heights.’
Jenna says,
‘A little less than a year after signing with Bookouture, I’m delighted to again be in the capable hands of their dedicated, innovative team and eager to join forces with my insightful editor, Ellen Gleeson, on two standalone domestic thrillers. I’m confident that Ellen’s advice and vision will help me bring readers two more gripping rollercoaster reads!’
Ann Leslie adds,
‘I am thrilled to see Jenna branch out into writing domestic thrillers. Readers are in for a real treat.’
We would love you to join us on Facebook and Twitter to celebrate this exciting news.”
