Bluemoose author Socrates Adams, whose novel, A MODERN FAMILY, we published late July 2013, is off to Hollywood. Jack Black will be producing a remake of WIZARDS WAY, co-written and starring Socrates. Socrates, Joe Stretch and Chris Killem made the film for £400. It won the London Comedy Award 2012, was premiered at The BFI last January and will be premiered at the Slamdance Festival in the United States on January 19th. Apparently Jack will be buying the cocktails.

There was a cracking review of Mark A Radcliffe’s second novel, STRANGER THAN KINDNESS in The Guardian on Saturday 11th January. The reviewer got it spot on too, which is wonderful.

Happy New Year to readers everywhere. After a wonderful 2013 for Bluemoose Books, we’re really looking forward to publishing some cracking books in 2014. The first of which is the debut novel WOUNDING by Heidi James, which we’ll be publishing on April 24th 2014. More to follow on that.

We’ll also be publishing BEASTINGS by award winning author Benjamin Myers and the second novels from The Guardian NOT THE BOOKER Winner Michael Stewart, with CAFE ASSASSIN and NEVERHASBEEN by Canadian writer, Adrian Barnes.
