New kid on the block takes editorial world by storm
Casablanca Publishing snatches best-selling author Erica Fuentes and co-author Annemarie Stonewater from the big boys' clutch
Salve Regina, the authors' first of a three-book series and Fuentes' latest thriller goes on sale worldwide right on time for the holidays.
NEW YORK, December 10, 2010 — Ecclesiastical intrigue, undercover royalty and a mystery that has baffled the world for decades finally solved make Salve Regina a must read.
Casablanca's first release has it all.
"The partnership between Erica Fuentes, a former diplomat and presidential aide and Annemarie Stonewater, a history master and very successful novelist on her own, is amazing", says Luis Rodríguez, managing director of Casablanca's New York operation. "Their characters and situations are very well developed. They are very rigorous researchers."
English and Spanish versions of Salve Regina, in paperback and ebook formats, are available at major booksellers and electronic outlets.
Fuentes' blockbuster "Las Chicas de Palacio" —its English version "Shakedown"— became an instant bestseller in the Spanish speaking world and it is being adapted for the screen, has been published in a second edition, in Spanish, by Casablanca, simultaneously with its first English edition.
Shakedown unravels mysteries of Mexico's public life, world politics and international affairs. The boundaries between politics and its personalities, as well as personal travails and zest, meet in a single story full of nuances, where in the end all the pieces fit.
Casablanca has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Spain and Mexico City, Mexico. The imprint has acquired manuscripts from carefully selected known authors and plans to release 25 new titles during its first year of operations, as well as new editions of controversial books out of print.
