HarperCollins published Catch Your Death, Killing Cupid, All Fall Down and Forward Slash, but only the first two novels have recorded sales in Nielsen BookScan’s top 5,000 (3,699 copies and 5,324 copies respectively). Edwards continued to self-publish with KDP, with his book The Magpies selling over 170,000 copies in 2013, leading to his solo deal with Thomas & Mercer. The duo were then snapped up by HarperCollins, with the company buying four titles in 2011 in a six-figure pre-empt deal. The pair first achieved success together self-publishing on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform, with Catch Your Death, a Kindle bestseller. The deal is the second Edwards has done with Thomas & Mercer, after he signed world rights to two psychological thrillers last September, but it is the first done jointly with co-author Voss. The book is a police procedural-meets-psychological thriller and is the first of a series the authors plan to write together.
Emilie Marneur, senior acquisitions editor at T&M, signed world rights to From the Cradle through agent Sam Copeland of Rogers, Coleridge & White and will publish this autumn.
Amazon’s publishing imprint Thomas & Mercer has acquired a new novel by Mark Edwards and Louise Voss right as it continues to up its UK publishing drive.
