Wyndham Books
Wyndham Books is my publishing imprint which reissues novels by some of the most popular English-speaking authors of the mid-twentieth century. The imprint was inspired by my grandmother’s book collection, which I remember reading while staying with her as a child and young adult.
Wyndham Books publishes new editions of authors such as:
Catherine Gaskin (the “Queen of Storytellers” with sales of over 40 million copies);
Lucy Walker (“Australia’s Queen of Romance” – Daily Mirror, with sales of over 12 million);
Lucilla Andrews (the “Brand leader in hospital fiction” – The Guardian, with sales of almost 3 million copies);
Anne Hampson (author of many number-one bestsellers for Mills & Boon, Silhouette, and Harlequin);
Ursula Bloom (Guinness Book of World Records holder as “Britain’s most prolific female novelist”)
I rediscovered the popular family saga Hardacre by C L Skelton, bringing it back into print for the first time in decades. It inspired the television period drama, The Hardacres, which has been broadcast in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and throughout Europe. A second season is currently in production.
The reissues have seen these popular authors top the bestsellers lists again, in some cases many years after their death, with total sales of three quarters of a million copies. Some titles are now available as audiobooks from Wyndham Books, and some rights have been licensed for large print and audio. I take great pride and care in managing the legacies of these authors, which have been licensed to Wyndham Books by the authors or their literary estates.
I also publish a select list of new fiction, including the popular Della Arthur murder mysteries by Gwen Parrott, and international bestseller Letters from Malta by Mary Rensten.
Recent new acquisitions include international bestseller Jennie Melville (pen name of Gwendoline Butler) and acclaimed crime author Margaret Duffy, who continues to write her popular Langley and Gillard series.
