Bookouture signs new contracts with Kummerow and Spangler

Bookouture is thrilled to announce that Associate Publisher Kelsie Marsden has acquired World English Language rights, including ebook, print and audio to a novel by historical fiction author Marion Kummerow.

Kelsie says,

‘Marion is a hugely talented writer, and I am so excited to be working with her on another beautiful and emotional World War 2 story. This book follows Roxy; a character fans will recognise from Marion’s German Wives series. Marion explores Roxy’s backstory and how she came to be in Berlin all by herself as the war began. Roxy has become one of my favourite historical fiction characters – she is endlessly brave and refuses to be a victim of her terrible circumstances. I know readers will come to adore her just as I have.’

Marion says,

‘I’m so happy to be working with Kelsie and the wonderful team at Bookouture again. Writing Roxy’s story has been a deeply emotional journey for me. She’s such a complex and resilient young woman, and exploring her past has allowed me to show another side of courage and survival during one of history’s darkest times. I can’t wait for readers to discover where her story began—and to fall in love with her all over again.’

We are also delighted to announce a two-book deal with bestselling author B.R. Spangler, for a new FBI series. Associate Publisher Kelsie Marsden has acquired World All Languages rights, including ebook, print and audio.

Kelsie says,

‘I am thrilled to be bringing readers a new FBI series with B.R. Spangler! Brian’s Detective Casey White series is a bestselling fan favourite, and I know this new series will be a hit too. Following Nichelle Wilkinson from the Outer Banks home to Philadelphia, we see her begin work as a rookie FBI agent assigned to a totally twisty serial killer case. She’ll also be digging into her troubled past, and the supposed accident that killed her whole family… Brian is so talented at creating characters you can’t help but root for right from the start. Nichelle is scrappy, super smart and dedicated to justice. I can’t wait for readers to get to know her better. With his brilliant writing and creativity crafting knotty, compelling cases, his fans are in for a total treat!’

B.R. Spangler says,

‘Wonderfully excited to have signed on with Bookouture to publish a new FBI investigation series. This next chapter brings Nichelle Wilkinson back to Philadelphia, following her path from technologist to investigator in the Outer Banks. I’m beyond grateful to be continuing my work with my terrific editor, Kelsie, and the amazing team at Bookouture. New cases, old ghosts, and plenty more to come.’
