New York Times bestselling Christian novelist Karen Kingsbury (pictured, via) has signed a ten-book co-publishing agreement with Simon & Schuster’s Howard Books imprint. Dubbed the “Queen of Christian Fiction” by Time magazine, Kingsbury has written more than 50 novels–including Like Dandelion Dust and Unlocked.
Howard Books editor-in-chief Becky Nesbitt negotiated the deal with Alive Communications president Rick Christian. Pocket Books will produce the titles in mass market paperback and Simon & Schuster Audio will take charge of the audiobooks. The first book is scheduled for 2012.
Kingsbury had this statement in the release: “Simon & Schuster has shown a tremendous commitment to me, my reader friends and my fiction. I am thrilled to be working with such a talented team and the novels ahead will be some of my biggest and best ever.”

Unlocked, the latest young adult novel by Karen Kingsbury, tells a gripping story about a school plagued with bullies, a girl longing for her mother’s involvement, and an autistic boy who emerges from the depths of his own mind. When a friendship born a decade before rekindles, Ella Reynolds discovers a caring heart within herself, she didn’t know she had. One that reaches beyond the ties that bind the world in which she lives.
I found Unlocked engaging, and uplifting. It sheds hope on some of life’s most difficult situations without talking down to the young adults of this generation. And despite the YA tag–I would recommend this book to any age. Truly inpiring. Truly a joy to read.
Disclosure: I received this book from Zondervan as a free review copy. The opinions I have expressed are my own and no compensation took place.
