As was recently reported by TheBookseller.com popular author here in the US, Diane Chamberlain, will be moving from Mira to Pan Macmillan in a three-book deal. What’s truly exciting about this is that many readers abroad will now be able to enjoy Diane’s books as readily as we have here in the US. Recently Leah had the opportunity to review Diane’s latest, The Midwife’s Confession, and she enjoyed it so much it went on her list of “Favorite Books of the Year So Far“. I’m also a big fan of her writing and am excited for this great new venture of hers.

Here’s a little more from the article at TheBookseller.com:

“We will publish the first novel in 2013 with a huge fanfare, and work very closely with our sister company St Martin’s in turning Diane Chamberlain into a global brand.”

Chamberlain added: “My UK readers rock! I’m thrilled that they love my stories and it’s been amazing and gratifying to hear from so many of them. I’m excited about the move to Pan Macmillan and know it will help me share my books with many more UK and Commonwealth readers in the years to come.”

Chamberlain’s first title with Pan Mac will be published in 2013.

I’m curious to see how this will affect her publications here in the US if at all, but I’m also excited for her potential readers abroad. What do you think? Does this new development have you eager to pick up her newest title from Pan Mac in 2013?
