Tears of a Stranger

And more congrats are in order. Alan Chance's Tears of a Stranger - a very tight, efficient thriller with a strong premise and plenty of good incidental invention - has been taken on by agent Jonny Pegg.

I've read published books - including some that have sold for loads of £££ - that aren't as proficient as this manuscript, and I think it has a topical, market-friendly feel into the bargain. I certainly hope so. best of luck from here on, Alan - and congrats not just to you, but to Debi Alper, who did her normal excellent editorial job with this. I hope for a big announcement on this front before too long. Fingers crossed, as ever.

I couldn't be more delighted. I first worked on Alan's MS 3 years ago. Since then he has had a further critique, a copy edit and lengthy email discussions. And it's all been more than worthwhile!
