Amazon launches fifth imprint no comments
Amazon just announced the launch of its fifth imprint, Thomas & Mercer, which will publish mysteries and thrillers. Like Montlake Romance, the new romance imprint that Amazon launched a couple of weeks ago, Thomas & Mercer is named for an area in Seattle — in this case for two streets that flank Amazon’s headquarters there.
Thomas & Mercer will launch with four books that will be released in the Fall of 2011:
- Kyle Mills is the New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including his award-winning “The Second Horseman” and “Lords of Corruption.” His new book, “The Immortalists,” will be published on October 4.
- J.A. Konrath is the author of seven thrillers in the Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels series, as well as horror novels under the name Jack Kilborn, and more. “Stirred,” to be published on November 22, is the eighth and final novel in the Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels series, and also the first to be co-written with author Blake Crouch.
- D.M. Annechino wrote several books early in his writing career, but it wasn’t until he authored the AmazonEncore book “They Never Die Quietly” that he fulfilled his goal to become a published novelist. “Resuscitation,” the sequel to “They Never Die Quietly,” will be published on October 11.
- John Rector is a prize-winning short story writer and author of the novels “The Grove,” published by AmazonEncore, and “The Cold Kiss,” which was named Best Debut Novel of 2010 by Suspense Magazine. “Already Gone,” Rector’s third novel, will be published on October 25.
All four of these titles will be available in English versions for the Kindle ereader and in print and audio editions at Amazon and at national and independent booksellers. The Thomas & Mercer imprint has its own page at Amazon you can watch for future releases.
