S.M. Freedman has signed a book deal with Thomas & Mercer, Amazon's Mystery/Thriller Imprint, to re-publish her debut novel, THE FAITHFUL.

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, March 5, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Less than a year after her debut novel's initial publication, S.M. Freedman has signed a book deal with Amazon's Mystery/Thriller Imprint, Thomas & Mercer, to re-publish THE FAITHFUL internationally.

"My head's still spinning," Freedman admits, and no wonder if it is. The past year has been a whirlwind. In early 2014, THE FAITHFUL made it to the Quarter Finals in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. But as amazing as that was, Freedman is quick to say reaching the Quarter Finals wasn't the best part. During the competition she met five like-minded authors, and together they eventually formed the WorldWiseWriters. "Writing can be a lonely profession," Freedman says. "Finding them was like kismet. After family, they're the first people I turn to about everything. They've been amazing cheerleaders this past year."

And this past year has been any author's dream come true. THE FAITHFUL took the number one spot in several categories, placing Freedman next to idols like Stephen King and Sue Grafton. The reviews started coming in and they were glowing. Publishers Weekly said her novel "reveals fiery intellect", IndieReader chimed in that it's a "haunting, edge-of-your-seat mystery", and Readers' Favorite said it's "undeniably a great book".

Then one of the editors at Thomas & Mercer took notice. "I almost deleted their email as spam," Freedman admits. "But at the last moment, I decided to open it." And it's a good thing she did, because that email was a game-changer: They'd read and loved THE FAITHFUL, and they were interested in re-publishing it globally.

"I was stunned. It's such an honor," Freedman says. "Amazon is huge, of course, and the people at Thomas & Mercer are amazing. They've really gone out of their way to make sure I'm comfortable during every step of the process."
THE FAITHFUL is scheduled for re-publishing in the fall of 2015 in Print, E-Book and Audio formats, and translated versions will be published worldwide. In the meantime, it's still available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

And what's next for the author? "Hollywood, maybe?" Freedman jokes. "Actually, I'm working on the second draft of THE FAITHFUL's sequel right now, and I've also got another story brewing, so I've got lots to keep me busy."
