We are pleased to announce the signing up of The Smoking Mirror, by David Bowles. “This will add to our middle grade and young adult catalog – particularly in our US/International imprint – and it is a worthy addition indeed,” stated Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG Publishing.

We are expecting this title to be released early in the second quarter of 2015. Stay tuned for more information about the forthcoming book in coming months.
