Peter Cox and Orion Children’s Books today announce a big new deal for Redhammer author Joe Donnelly. Combining myth, magic and danger, the JACK FLINT series draws on Joe’s affinity with Scottish history and Celtic mythology to form an epic story. The first title in the series, JACK FLINT AND THE REDTHORN SWORD comes out in the UK in August 2007. Packed with exciting adventure, suspense and intrigue, this is a striking new fantasy series from an established adult author making his debut as a children’s novelist.
“After the major success Orion have created with CHRONICLES OF ANCIENT DARKENESS”, says Peter Cox, “there was really only one publisher I wanted to see JACK FLINT. The Orion team have been enormously impressive on every level, and it was my hope that they’d take to JACK FLINT in the same way. I was over the moon when they called to make a pre-emptive offer for this series.” -
