David Downing has been chosen as one of the 12 authors featuring in the Waterstone's New Voices campaign in March as part of its wider "Writer's Year" promotion.
The titles of the authors, including David Downing's Silesian Station, will be featured prominently instore and in window displays, with special pushes on Waterstones.com and in its Books Quarterly magazine. All books will be instore in time for World Book Day on 6th March.
Toby Bourne, Waterstone's fiction buying manager: "One of the most exciting things for readers every year is watching new writers appear on the literary scene and discovering their work. Our New Voices demonstrate a real wealth of talent and variety--a completely different collection of novels from all genres and from authors of different nationalities. These 12 authors have written fresh, challenging and convincing stories, and we expect to find them shaping the world of fiction for years to come."
Zoo Station - the first in the John Russell series - will be published in B-format simultaneously.
