Random House UK Buys 90% Share of Virgin Books
By Jane • Mar 5th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •Virgin Books whose catalog includes the racy Black Lace and Cheek Imprints has sold 90% of its ownership interest to Random House UK. For an undisclosed amount of cash, Random House obtains the rights to the Virgin name for all books worldwide (including audio and ebooks) and five titles penned by Richard Branson.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
