It's been a very long wait but my faithful agent never gave up and has now found the perfect international home for my boy, Fleance, and his friends. Here's the press release:
General Fiction, Digital
Longtime New Zealand best-selling author T.K. Roxborogh's 2010 New Zealand Award winning BANQUO'S SON, beginning ten years after Macbeth; following Fleance, who escaped the chaos in the castle and fled to England, where he was raised by another dispossessed family. Now his destiny, in the form of Prince Duncan, comes calling, and Banquo's Son begins an adventure that takes him from the backwoods of Northern England to the Royal Court of Scotland. To Emilie Marneur at Thomas & Mercer, in a two-book deal by Josh Getzler at HSG Agency. (World) (Film/TV: Jgetzler@hsgagency.com)
Thomas and Mercer has shown itself to be a powerful force in the publishing world, particularly with its successful publications of such historical novels as Oliver Poetsch's Hangman's Daughter series and EM Powell's Fifth Knight books. With the power of Amazon behind it, it now has the chance to replicate that success with Banquo's Son.
Roxborogh's agent, Josh Getzler, says: "I've been waiting quite a while to see Banquo's Son released around the globe, and I'm just so pleased and excited that everyone is going to be able to understand what New Zealand readers have known for years: TK Roxborogh's books are exciting, compulsively readable, emotional, and marvelous. I can't wait to see how the market reacts."
Editor, Emilie Marneur, says: "I'm thrilled at the prospect of working with you Tania and publishing Banquo's Son this year. I absolutely loved it! It's beautifully written, magical, emotional, epic... It has so many facets and had me hooked from the very first pages...it was a beautiful story – ambitious, emotional, very well written, great vibrant characters…"
Banquo's Son will be published in August 2015 and Bloodlines will be published in January 2016
