My two-book publishing deal with Head of Zeus

 

I’m so delighted to announce that I’ve signed a two-book deal with the fabulous Head of Zeus. My first novel, Patience, will be published in hardback, audio book and e-book in August 2021, with another novel to follow.

It’s all a bit surreal – I’ve gone from typing “The End” to getting a publishing deal in less than 10 months. I’m incredibly excited, and I can’t wait for you all to read Patience. It’s about a funny, clever disabled woman with Rett syndrome whose family go to war with each other over an experimental gene therapy trial. She has a lot to ‘say,’ if she could only speak.

Here are a few tweets that came out following the announcement on Friday 21st of Feb:

So pleased for @Toryscott… I had the great pleasure of reading and critiquing an early draft of her debut novel Patience and it is SO GOOD… https://t.co/mxUC3iUmTw
