Tor and Klune unite in a five-book deal  

Tor UK has secured The Green Creek quartet and The Bones Beneath My Skin, five queer-positive titles by T J Klune.  

Publishing director Bella Pagan acquired UK and British Commonwealth rights with audio from Deidre Knight at the Knight Agency. Wolfsong, the first instalment in the quartet, will be published in autumn 2022 and The Bones Beneath My Skin will follow after.  

The Green Creek quartet is an “enthralling” queer romance series following the “vibrant” Bennett werewolf pack as they fall in and out of love – and fight those who would take everything from them. Wolfsong tells the story of Ox, who discovers Bennett’s secret at 17 and enters a turbulent world of love, loss and hope. “It’s a story that will rock his whole world,” Tor said.

The Bones Beneath My Skin will follow Nate Cartwright after he’s lost everything. The synopsis reads: “With nothing left to lose, he heads for his family’s summer cabin to regroup. But there, he finds an extraordinary little girl and her companion. However, Artemis Darth Vader – as she calls herself – is far more than she appears. Nate finds he’ll do anything to protect Artemis, as shadowy forces gather seeking to control her.” 

“I’ve come to adore TJ’s heartfelt writing and these books are no exception,” Pagan commented. “Wolfsong is a complete page-turner. But as well as offering excitement, drama and fun, it also contains heartbreak and yearning – delivering a powerful message about the complexities of love and how it feels to belong.” 

Klune added: “I’m ecstatic to be partnering with Tor UK to bring five books from my back catalogue to a brand-new audience. The four-book Green Creek Series and The Bones Beneath My Skin are all action-packed adventures unlike anything else I’ve written. But while there might be an explosion or two more than normal, these books are, at their core, stories about chosen families, queer love, and the lengths people will go to in order to protect those they care for. And to my long-time readers who have been on these adventures with me before, I hope you’ll join me in welcoming a new audience to the pack and will help me show them why our songs will always be heard.”
