New Sparks on the Block

January – February Edition

2020 is here, and we’re making a resolution to settle in with these exciting reads from some of the newest Sparks on the block. We are kicking off a spectacular 2020 lineup of clients with these wonderful authors and publishers.

Behind Every Lie by Christina McDonald

We’re thrilled to welcome back USA Today bestselling author Christina McDonald. Her forthcoming novel Behind Every Lie is perfect for fans of Big Little Lies. You won’t be able to put down this chilling page-turner.

American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins is a poignant story about a mother and son who are fleeing from a Mexican drug cartel. The New York Times has called it one of the most anticipated books of 2020 and it has gotten excellent reviews from readers. We’re excited to be working with Flatiron Books on this powerful novel.

A big welcome to Jenny Lee, author of Anna K. We can’t wait to work with Flatiron Books on this modern-day reimagining of Leo Tolstoy’s timeless love story, Anna Karenina. This YA novel is bound to make its way onto bookshelves everywhere.

We are ecstatic to be working in conjunction with Flatiron Books on Margarita Montimore’s novel Oona Out of Order. This unforgettable story will give readers a whole new meaning to the saying “live in the moment.”

A warm welcome to bestselling Danish author Katrine Engberg. We’re so excited to be working in conjunction with Gallery Books on her suspenseful novel, The Tenant, which was originally published in Denmark back in 2016 and quickly catapulted to the bestseller list by word-of-mouth. We have no doubt that U.S. readers will find this book completely unputdownable.

A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers

Constance Sayers’s historical fiction novel, A Witch in Time, is a fascinating story about reincarnation that’s packed with suspense. This book is perfect for fans of A Secret History of Witches and The Time Traveler’s Wife — it’s also a great pick for fans of Outlander.
