NZ author signs two book deal with major US/UK publisher

New Zealand best-selling author T.K. Roxborogh's 2010 New Zealand Award winning BANQUO'S SON, begins ten years after Macbeth; following Fleance, who escaped the chaos in the castle and fled to England, where he was raised by another dispossessed family. 
Now his destiny, in the form of Prince Duncan, comes calling, and Banquo's Son begins an adventure that takes him from the backwoods of Northern England to the Royal Court of Scotland to Emilie Marneur at Thomas & Mercer, in a two-book deal by Josh Getzler at HSG Agency

Roxborogh's agent, Josh Getzler, says: "I've been waiting quite a while to see Banquo's Son released around the globe, and I'm just so pleased and excited that everyone is going to be able to understand what New Zealand readers have known for years: TK Roxborogh's books are exciting, compulsively readable, emotional, and marvelous. I can't wait to see how the market reacts."

Editor, Emilie Marneur, says: "I'm thrilled at the prospect of working with you Tania and publishing Banquo's Son this year. I absolutely loved it! It's beautifully written, magical, emotional, epic... It has so many facets and had me hooked from the very first pages...it was a beautiful story – ambitious, emotional, very well written, great vibrant characters…"


Banquo's Son will be published in August 2015 and Bloodlines will be published in January 2016
