Cathy Glass moves into fiction with two-book Collins deal
17 Mar 2017
Best-selling non-fiction writer Cathy Glass is moving into fiction. The Darkness Within, a gripping psychological thriller, part of a two-book deal written under the pseudonym Lisa Stone, will be published by Harper Collins in July.
Katerina Diamond, bestselling crime author of The Secret and The Teacher (Sunday Times bestseller, and both books hit Kindle #1 , has blurbed ‘The Darkness Within hooked me from the start. Once you start you won’t be able to stop!’
The first book centres on a man who begins to develop the cruel characteristics of his donor following a heart transplant, and explores the idea of whether people are ever born inherently evil.
Cathy Glass said: ‘I am absolutely thrilled to be working with Avon on this new venture. I shall still be writing my fostering memoirs and I’ve adapted the same fast paced narrative that has made the Cathy Glass books so successful. I think my readers will be as excited as I am.’
Her editor Phoebe Morgan added : ‘We are so excited about this opportunity to work with Cathy on a new venture in her already amazing career. Her memoirs are loved around the world but in stepping into fiction, she is doing something entirely different and has created a gripping thriller with a chilling concept at its heart. I’m really pleased that Cathy is staying within the Harper family and can’t wait to show the world her darker side!’
