Costa-shortlisted author Rebecca F. John to join Firefly as Senior Editor

Costa-shortlisted author Rebecca F. John to join Firefly as Senior Editor

Acclaimed novelist Rebecca F. John is to join Firefly Press in a new role as Senior Editor this autumn.

Her appointment coincides with Firefly’s publication of her first novel for children, MG fantasy The Shadow Order, this September, and is part of an expansion at Welsh indie Firefly which also sees Assistant Editor Leonie Lock move to a position as Editor. Rebecca, who is author of Costa-shortlisted The Haunting of Henry Twist, has worked as an editor for a number of Wales-based publishers and also publishes two novels for adults this year, one with her own imprint, Aderyn Press.

Firefly Publisher, Penny Thomas said: ‘We are huge fans of Rebecca’s work as an author and an editor and are delighted that she is to join Firefly. She will be a wonderful addition to our small but dedicated team as we seek to publish exciting, innovative, quality fiction for children and young adults.’

Rebecca F. John, said: ‘Joining Firefly is a true honour. I have admired the work this press does from afar for a long while and, when the opportunity to work with them arose, I was poised to leap at it. Firefly does a huge amount to champion every one of their authors, while demonstrating what a small, Wales-based press can achieve, and I can’t wait to play a part in their exciting future plans.’

Firefly Press signs sparkling sequel to Major and Mynah

Firefly Press signs sparkling sequel to Major and Mynah

Karen Owen
Louise Forshaw

Leonie Lock, Editor at children’s and YA publisher Firefly Press, has acquired World rights for Major and Mynah 2 (title TBC) by Karen Owen, illustrated by Louise Forshaw.

‘Karen Owen has done it again –  this is a remarkable sequel. Book two features another brilliant caper, with amazing character additions and more hilarity. Callie Major is definitely a hero for modern times – she’s witty, resilient and absolutely does not let her hearing impairment stand in her way!’ said Leonie Lock.

The brilliant detective adventure for younger readers, Major and Mynah, is due to hit shelves May 2022. Callie Major realises her new hearing aids give her the ability to communicate with Bo, a mynah bird. Together, along with BFF Grace, the detective trio set out to investigate the local thefts and catch the culprit!

This squawk-tacular sequel follows the return of the Super Perceptive Undercover Detectives! When Bo sneaks into Callie’s bag on her school trip to the Tower of London, she and Grace are worried he’s going to cause lots of trouble. But when some gold coins and jewels are stolen from the site, SPUD have another case – and a spy in the sky comes in handy!

This sequel features the vivid backdrop of the Tower of London, exploring its rich history and the ravens that reside there. With more daring chases and some expert sneaking, Major and Mynah 2 is full of the same humour and mischief as book one. 

Karen Owen said: ‘Having the chance to take Callie, Bo and Grace on another adventure was one I jumped at. I’m a history fanatic so I loved being able to walk in the footsteps of famous people from our colourful past at the Tower of London.’

‘I’m incredibly excited to be asked to illustrate more of Callie, Grace and Bo’s world,’ said Louise Forshaw, ‘and I really can’t wait to dive (or maybe fly like Bo) into another Major and Mynah adventure.’

The novel is slated for publication in March 2023.
