Travis Baldree says: ‘It would be a vast understatement to say that I have been humbled and grateful for the incredible support, enthusiasm and kindness that I've received from Tor and Macmillan as we've worked together on my first two books. It has been a joy to get to know the fabulous team there. I'm beyond delighted to announce that I'll be writing a further three books to be published by Tor as well. Thank you so much to everyone who has responded to my stories in such a positive way, and made this improbable journey possible. You have all changed my life.’
Bella Pagan comments: ‘Immersive, compelling and wonderfully cosy, it’s no wonder that Travis’s books have an army of fans all around the world. It’s such a privilege to be publishing Travis in the UK and the whole team is thrilled to have signed three more books with him.’
