I’m absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news!
Publisher Bookouture, through publisher Laura Deacon, has acquired World All Language rights—including ebook, paperback, and audio—for two more books in my bestselling Detective Amanda Steele series. It’s been such an incredible journey to write this series, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue Amanda’s story.
But that’s not all…
This announcement also marks the launch of a brand-new crime series featuring Detective Cindy Moore. Readers may already recognize Cindy from Nowhere to Hide, where her feisty and fearless personality first made a lasting impression.
Laura shared:
“From the moment I first encountered Cindy Moore, a feisty and fearless cop in Carolyn’s Sandra Vos FBI series, I just knew I wanted to develop a series around her. I’m also delighted that this new deal sees us publish our twentieth Detective Amanda Steele title in a series which goes from strength to strength. I’m looking forward to taking Carolyn’s publishing to even greater heights!”
As for me, I truly couldn’t be happier.
Amanda Steele has my heart, and she’s come so far since I first met her that I can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Writing her journey has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, and knowing readers continue to connect with her means the world to me.
Cindy Moore, on the other hand, arrived more recently—but she immediately commanded my attention from the very first draft of Nowhere to Hide. She’s tenacious, ambitious, and driven by strong instincts that sometimes push her headfirst into danger. Fortunately, those instincts also tend to pay off.
In this new series, readers will witness Cindy’s journey from the very beginning as she starts out as a rookie detective assigned to the Homicide Branch of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC. There’s so much ahead for her, and I’m incredibly excited to bring readers along for the ride.
More news on the Cindy Moore series will be coming soon, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support—it means everything.
