to launch again in 2025
New York, NY- Ted Bell’s daughter, Byrdie Bell, and The Real Book Spy founder, Ryan Steck, are pleased to announce that the Lord Alexander Hawke series will soon set sail again!
Readers have been asking what would happen to Lord Alex Hawke and the rest of his beloved characters after Ted’s passing. Well…the whole gang will soon return in another action-packed, ripped-from-the-headlines adventure.
In order to deliver to Ted’s devoted fans more stories with Lord Hawke and to continue Ted and Hawke’s legacy, author (and The Real Book Spy founder) Ryan Steck has signed a two-book deal with Berkley, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Ryan is doing this in partnership with Ted Bell's estate, led by his daughter, Byrdie Bell. Ryan's first Alex Hawke book, MONARCH, will be available in early 2025, with the second book currently slated for a 2026 publication date.
