Joffe Books aquires TWO NOVELS BY MĀORI WRITER RENÉE
Otaki-based Renée is a much-loved and prolific writer of novels, memoir, poetry and plays in her native New Zealand. She published The Wild Card, her first foray into crime fiction, in 2018 at age 90.
Renée says: “It’s fabulous to know the rights for The Wild Card and Blood Matters to publish in English around the world have been bought by the amazing Joffe Books. Thank you Mary McCallum and Sarah Bolland (The Cuba Press) and Nadine Rubin Nathan of High Spot Literary for making it happen. I’m totally chuffed.”
Joffe Books Editorial Director Emma Grundy Haigh says:
“I’m utterly delighted to be publishing The Wild Card by Renée. I think I fell in love as much with the novel as I did with the author: one of New Zealand’s literary legends, Renée’s boundless energy, compassion and sheer sagacity are infectious. And her first foray into crime fiction is a brilliantly twisty, darkly witty and completely addictive page-turner that I simply couldn’t put down. I can’t wait to introduce her to a world of new readers!”
Mary McCallum, co-director of The Cuba Press, says:
“Renée is one of New Zealand’s most esteemed writers and has come late to crime fiction, writing her first crime novel in her 90s, after four decades writing plays, other fiction and poetry. It was worth the wait — The Wild Card was shortlisted for the Ngaio Marsh Awards, and Blood Matters, to be released later this year in New Zealand, goes back to the same fictional town with another crime to solve.”
The Wild Card and Blood Matters will publish in eBook and paperback in autumn 2022.
The good news keeps coming. Attention all readers: A new Nikki Galena mystery by bestselling author Joy Ellis is en route. Joffe Books CEO Jasper Joffe has signed book 14 in Joy’s bestselling Nikki Galena series, to be published in eBook and paperback in winter 2022.
Jasper Joffe says:
“I am delighted to sign Nikki Galena book 14 from Joy. It’s the series we started with and I, along with millions of readers, have a huge soft spot for Nikki. I couldn’t be prouder to publish another Joy Ellis novel.”
Joy Ellis, who’s been with Joffe Books since 2016, says:
“Totally thrilled, as always, that Joffe Books have signed for the fourteenth book in the Fens Series. I cannot believe that our Nikki Galena is still up to her neck in murder and mayhem! Big thank you to everyone involved in getting this one out to our lovely readers.”
Watch this space to be among the first to read Joy’s new novel later this year.
