Ruhi says,

‘I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Bookouture on my previous books and am thrilled to be writing three more for them. The team at Bookouture has played an invaluable role in bringing my stories to readers. Working with my editor, Laura Deacon, has been a wonderful partnership. Her editorial insights have been instrumental in shaping my stories, and I am excited to share my new works with my readers.’

Deacon also secured World All Language rights (including audio) via agent Laura Bradford to a further four books in the ‘Lost Daughters’ series from Soraya Lane.
