C. Hoyt Caldwell and the Two-Book Publishing Deal

Awesome news! I’m very excited to announce that I (C. Hoyt Caldwell aka R.W. Ridley) have signed a two-book deal with Alibi, an imprint of Penguin Random House. A big thanks to my editor Dana Isaacson and my agent Curtis Russell of P.S. Literary Agency.  I could not be more thrilled to have the opportunity to explore and develop Deputy Dani Pearl’s character, and the good (and not so good) folks of Baptist Flats, Tennessee. As a woman trying to keep the law in the deep South, there is a lot of fertile ground for potential growth.  I can’t way to play!

I’ll have more details later, but for now here’s a quick video I made with a little more information.  Needless to say, today is a very good day!
