International best-selling author Dean Koontz has signed a five-book and six short thrillers deal with Amazon Publishing, the publisher announced today. Amazon’s thriller and mystery imprint Thomas & Mercer will publish the first book – Devoted – next spring.
Koontz’s short thriller collection Nameless will be available on Nov. 12 from Amazon Original Stories for free to Prime and Kindle Unlimited customers.
“For many years, I have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with Brilliance Audio, an Amazon company, and later with Amazon Original Stories,” Koontz said in a statement. “Although there were numerous options for the future, it was most natural to sign with the team at Amazon Publishing, which presented a marketing and publicity plan smarter and more ambitious than anything I’d ever seen before.”
Koontz said the new arrangement is “so exciting, I’ve been creatively rejuvenated. The times are changing, and it’s invigorating to be where change is understood and embraced.
