Edwards continued to self-publish with KDP, with his book The Magpies selling over 170,000 copies in 2013, leading to his solo deal with Thomas & Mercer. The duo were then snapped up by HarperCollins, with the company buying four titles in 2011 in a six-figure pre-empt deal. The pair first achieved success together self-publishing on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform, with Catch Your Death, a Kindle bestseller. The deal is the second Edwards has done with Thomas & Mercer, after he signed world rights to two psychological thrillers last September, but it is the first done jointly with co-author Voss. The book is a police procedural-meets-psychological thriller and is the first of a series the authors plan to write together. Emilie Marneur, senior acquisitions editor at T&M, signed world rights to From the Cradle through agent Sam Copeland of Rogers, Coleridge & White and will publish this autumn. Amazon’s publishing imprint Thomas & Mercer has acquired a new novel by Mark Edwards and Louise Voss right as it continues to up its UK publishing drive.
