The team at Equinox Books has been so busy with the SynergEBooks acquisition that I've neglected to post updates on all of our other news.
OUR FIRST NEW TITLE ACQUISITIONS
Although we announced these acquisitions via the Equinox Books social media platform, I didn't get to share the news personally.
First, Dead Air, a new thriller by Michael Bradley, where a top-rated DJ's childhood secrets are threatened to be revealed when her stalker’s obsession spirals toward a terrifying reunion. This is Michael's third book, and we think it's his best (:-)). You can find Michael at his website https://www.mbradleyonline.com/, on Twitter () and on Facebook ().
Next, The Brass Queen, a steampunk romantic comedy by Elizabeth Chatsworth. Not only is Elizabeth a fantastic writer, she is also a voice-over actress. I've got to confess, I was hooked listening to her lovely voice in the sample audio chapter of The Brass Queen. You can find Elizabeth (and the sample chapter) on her website, https://www.elizabethchatsworth.com/, on Twitter () and on Facebook ().
Most recently we signed Shift, a downright funny romp through space, time and the multiverse, by Jason Offutt. Jason is an established author with a syndicated humor column and he has a thing about monsters. Jason can be found on his website, https://www.jasonoffutt.com, on Instagram (), and on Twitter ().
We're also negotiating with several other authors (but I can't spill the beans on those titles yet).
NEW TEAM MEMBER
Last month, Bridget McFadden joined our team as a Publishing Assistant. Bridget has a Masters in Publishing and brings the love of story that you must have in order to succeed in this business.
