In
the Bookseller today it's been announced that
Jacqueline Winspear is moving to Allison & Busby for her UK releases:
Allison & Busby has acquired two books by crime writer Jacqueline Winspear, with the author moving from John Murray to the independent.
[] bought UK and Commonwealth rights (excluding Canada) to...books seven and eight in the Maisie Dobbs series, set just after the First World War.
A&B will publish The Mapping of Love and Death, the seventh book in the Maisie Dobbs series, in hardback in November 2011, which will be followed by A Lesson in Secrets in March 2012.
That's good to hear and encouraging that independent publishers such as my own, Severn House, A & B and Constable & Robinson are taking up such talented crime writers and branching out, building their lists and increasing their marketing.
