These authors came with me from my previous job at Century, the commercial hardback imprint of Random House UK. I have also published a sort of Auberon Waugh 'greatest hits', called Kiss Me, Chudleigh, having fond memories of publishing Bron's autobiography at Century.New authors at Coronet include Britain's highest profile criminal lawyer, Nick Freeman, otherwise known as 'Mr Loophole', who will be explaining how he does it in his first book. Roger Pearce, former Commander of Special Branch, is writing a series of thrillers inspired by real-life events. In The Science Delusion leading scientist Rupert Sheldrake argues for a more open spirit of enquiry. FAM is the autobiography of Chyna, a member of a London girl gang, both sensational and harrowing, and giving a voice on the page to a section of society that has been extraordinarily creative and influential in music. Roger Field has written a groundbreaking military biography, Rogue Male, which reveals what the dogs of war really got up to during the Second World War when they were let off the leash.At Century we had a run of successes with celebrity autobiographies, including Frank Skinner, Peter Kay, Katie Price and Dawn French. At Coronet we will building on this. My colleague Charlotte Haycock - who also came over from Century - has commissioned Larry Lamb's very moving memoirs, Mummy's Boy and now Midnight Beast. We are interested in how the market is changing - and at such speed too! - and aiming to publish accordingly. Chris Ryan has written Chris Ryan Extreme - exclusively e- and I-book stories. Show less
