More Jackelian universe novels in the pipe
07/03/2008 . Source: Jessica Martin 
John Jarrold has concluded a second, three-book World rights deal for UK fantasy author Stephen Hunt with Sarah Hodgson of HarperCollins Voyager, for a good five-figure sum. All three of the new books will be set in the same world as The Court Of The Air and The Kingdom Beyond The Waves.
Buy The Kingdom Beyond The Waves in the USA - or Buy The Kingdom Beyond The Waves in the UK  Hunt's first book with Voyager, The Court Of The Air, was published in April 2007 to universal praise, and the following paperback was Waterstones' Fantasy Book of the Month last September, as well as being stocked in supermarkets, unusually for a new fantasy author. It was also one of only ten novels (written in a wide variety of languages) selected for presentation by the world's main publishers on February 2008 at the Berlin International Film Festival - the world's largest film festival, and the only Fantasy or SF novel on the list. His next novel, The Kingdom Beyond The Waves, is coming from Voyager in May, and a two-book deal for US rights with Tor was recently announced. The book has also sold in territories across Europe and the Far East.
'I'm delighted that we have been able to confirm another three-book deal, and both Stephen and I know how hard and enthusiastically Sarah Hodgson has worked to this end,' said John Jarrold.
Sarah Hodgson said: 'Stephen Hunt is a hugely talented and inventive writer and we're thrilled to have signed him up to Voygaer list for three more novels.'
