New Deal for Rowena Cory Daniells
Jonathan Oliver, commissioning editor of Solaris Books, has commissioned a new novel by Australian fantasy writer Rowena Cory Daniells. The agent is John Jarrold, and the deal is for World English Language rights. The book is due for publication at the end of 2013.
Solaris have already published Daniells’ KING ROLEN’S KIN trilogy very successfully, and are publishing her OUTCAST CHRONICLES trilogy this year. The new book, provisionally titled KING-MAKER, KING-BREAKER, will complete the story of King Rolen’s Kin.
Jonathan Oliver said: “It’s great to be working with Rowena again and I can’t wait to read this finale to her brilliant fantasy series.”
Rowena Cory Daniells first became involved in speculative fiction in 1976. Since then she has run a bookshop, then a graphic art studio where she illustrated children’s books, had 6 children in 10 years, sold nearly 30 children’s books and an earlier fantasy trilogy internationally, established R&D Studios and served on the management committees of state and national arts organisations. She lives by the bay in Brisbane with her husband and children, and has a Masters in Arts (Research).
