PLACES MADELYN ALT'S
NEXT TWO BEWITCHING MYSTERIES
WITH JESSICA WADE
OF BERKLEY
Peter Miller, President of PMA Literary & Film Management, Inc., announces the sale of the North American rights of two more books in the Bewitching Mystery series by Madelyn Alt, to Jessica Wade of Berkley in a nice deal, bringing the total number in the ongoing series to eight. PMA manages Audio, Foreign, and Film Rights to this title.
The Bewitching Mysteries feature small town single girl and fledgling empath Maggie O'Neill, her witchy boss, and an unlikely circle of ghosthunting friends, the N.I.G.H.T.S., as they investigate an increasing level of paranormal disturbance—not to mention a troubling series of unrelated murders—in Maggie's hometown of Stony Mill, Indiana.
Paul Goat Allen, formerly Barnes & Noble.com's SF/Fantasy editor, had the following to say about Maggie O'Neill and the Bewitching Mysteries: “Mystery fans who seek out 'feel-good' reads for their literary escapism (books by authors like Janet Evanovich, Charlaine Harris, Kyra Davis, et al.) should definitely check out Alt's Bewitching Mystery saga, which is powered by her Everywoman heroine O'Neill. A small-town girl struggling to find her place in the world, she has an optimistic and idealistic outlook on an oftentimes malevolent and depressing reality—as well an addiction to old episodes of Magnum P.I.—that makes her one of the most refreshing and endearing protagonists to grace the amateur sleuth genre in years. Alt certainly picked the right name for this series. It's a bewitching saga by a positively witchy chick. Highly recommended.”
From Midwest Book Review: “Forecasting the future, Madelyn Alt has a surefire winner on her hands.”
From FreshFiction.com: “A winner from page one . . . This is enchanting entertainment at its finest.”
The Trouble with Magic and A Charmed Death, the first two books in the Bewitching Mystery Series, have been a great success. The third book in the series, Hex Marks the Spot, arrived in bookstores December 4, 2007. For more information, contact Peter Miller, PMA Literary & Film Management, Inc. at 212.929.1222 or
