New year, new spotlight author! In November, we introduced our Author Spotlight feature, which highlights a book from our catalog—not a new release, not an upcoming release—just a fantastic book we think you’d love. That month, Reneilwe Malatji, author of the short story collection Love Interrupted hit the spotlight. Because of our #ReadingAfrica campaign in December, we didn’t have our spotlight feature, but we’re roaring back in the new year! January’s spotlight author is Chanette Paul!
Chanette is the best-selling author of over 41 novels. Crime, romance, thrillers— Chanette’s got you covered! We’re proud to be the publisher of her first English-language novel and her US-debut, Sacrificed, translated by Elsa Silke. Part thriller, part family drama, Sacrificed is a era-and-border crossing novel that introduces readers to Caz Colijn. A phone call from her long-estranged sister sends Caz on an intense journey to unravel the truth behind her mysterious past. The New York Journal of Books called this gripping thriller “a page-turner that will keep you reading long past the moment the midnight oil burns out,” and noted that it “places Chanette Paul among the classiest thriller writers of our day.” We couldn’t agree more.
All January long, Chanette’s novel will be 50% off! This price is only through January, and only here at our website. Want to learn more about Chanette? Check out this Q&A we did with her, or this interview at The Big Thrill. And be sure to read this Q&A with Elsa Silke, the novel’s translator, here.
