Description
*Will be released during 2017 holiday season, and since four of the eight stories are Christmas-themed, will be strong contender for holiday promotions at bookstores.
*British author Jodi Taylor has an established fan base (St. Mary's-branded mugs, clothing, and other memorabilia are now sold on her site, after reader demand) and enough strong word-of-mouth buzz to make noise far outside the fantasy genre
*Starting as a self-publishing phenomenon in the UK in 2013, the first book in the St. Mary's series has nearly 900 US Amazon reviews (over 1,300 on Amazon UK) and the author has almost 32,000 total Goodreads ratings.
*Skyhorse has sold more than 21,000 copies of the first four St. Mary's paperbacks
*Time travel contextual comps include the romance and adventure of Diana Gabaldon (Outlander) (and Gabaldon and Taylor have similar tear-through-the-latest-book-in-the-series followers), but the author also is inspired by the romantic screwball comedy of Connie Willis (Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog)
About the Author
Jodi Taylor is, and always has been, a history nut. Her Chronicles of St. Mary's, a wild mix of history, adventure, comedy, romance, tragedy, and anything else the author could think of, began as a self-published book entitled Just One Damned Thing After Another. It's now a bestselling, wildly addictive series.
