Today marks a milestone moment for us at Alex Parker. We are overjoyed to announce our first book deal—a mesmerizing duology with the incredibly talented Irish romance and fantasy author Laura Foley.
Laura is not a new name to me. Our journey began in 2021 in what can only be described as serendipitous. Among the bustling tweets and infinite threads on Twitter, our paths crossed. It's astounding how the universe has its way of bringing together like-minded souls. From that chance connection, I had the incredible privilege of delving into Laura's enchanting world as a beta reader for the first book of her duology, THE LIGHT OF LÚNASA. Spellbound by her storytelling and the rich tapestry of romance and fantasy she wove, I knew then that her work was extraordinary.
When the dream to establish this small publishing company began to take shape, there was a name at the forefront of my mind: an author whose work resonated deeply with me and whose narrative brilliance I believed deserved a broad audience. That name was, of course, Laura Foley. Approaching her to be a part of Alex Parker's initial offerings as a small press was not just a business decision but a heartfelt one.
It gives me immense pride to share that Laura is the inaugural member of our Alex Parker author family. This partnership is more than just an acquisition; it's a testament to the shared passion for stories that captivate the heart and transport readers to otherworldly realms. With Laura's novels, we are setting forth on an ambitious journey to bring forth narratives that are both magical and moving.
To Laura: We are profoundly honored to have you onboard! Your trust in Alex Parker and the decision to let us be the vessel through which your stories reach avid readers means the world to us.
And to our growing community: Get ready to embark on an epic journey with THE LIGHT OF LÚNASA (August 2024) and its sequel THE SHADOW OF SAMHAIN (October 2025). Stay tuned for release dates, cover reveals, and sneak peeks into Laura's mesmerizing world!
