“Although there were numerous options for the future, it was most natural to sign with the team at Amazon Publishing, which presented a marketing and publicity plan smarter and more ambitious than anything I’d ever seen before,” the author said in a statement. “The times are changing, and it’s invigorating to be where change is understood and embraced.”
“Building on the success of Dean’s Amazon Charts bestselling short story, Ricochet Joe, our first publication together, we’re excited to expand our relationship with five new books from Thomas & Mercer and an episodic collection of short thrillers from Amazon Original Stories, delivering the kind of exhilarating and deeply resonant suspense his millions of fans expect and we know new readers will love,” Publisher of Amazon Publishing Mikyla Bruder said.
Titles and release dates for Koontz’s other four novels have not yet been announced. See the video announcement with Koontz here.
