Andrew is launching his exhibition following an 18year career in the entertainment business as an artist management. He spent ten years working with the creator of Bob the Builder Keith Chapman, producing TV projects including Fifi and the Flowertots, Roary the Racing Car and Raa Raa the Noisy Lion. “Being involved in many preschool animation projects taught me the importance of capturing the crime novel, Local Killer, among its first offerings. Internationally renowned historical novelist Elizabeth Chadwick attended the event, and said Wheel of Fortune “is the best Wars of the Roses novel I have ever read.”
Resolute Books’ foundermember Claire Dunn said: “This is a genuinely unique venture because it is neither a traditional publisher nor a hybrid, nor is it self- publishing. Each new book goes through a rigorous process. It also encourages the full involvement of the authors, something many writers feel denied by traditional publishers.”
As well as established writers including Pen Wilcock, Edward de Chazal, Sue Russell and Ruth Leigh, Resolute will encourage new talent. “It is a venture of collaboration,” Claire said. “We decided last year we should bring our talents together to create something from which both we and our many readers would benefit.” resolutebooks.co.uk
