David B. Coe sells new series to Tor, with new pseudonym

David B. Coe, writing as D.B. Jackson, sold the first two books in his Thief-Taker Series to James Frenkel at Tor. The Knight Agency's Lucienne Diver, who made the deal, says the books were "pitched as Harry Dresden meets Sam Adams."

Under his own name, Coe is the author of the Lon Tobyn Chronicle trilogy, the five-book Winds of the Forelands series, and the Blood of the Southlands trilogy (the third volume, The Dark-Eyes' War, will be published in February 2010), all of which were published by Tor.
