“James Patterson is to target new avenues for selling books with a series of shorter, cheaper novels he is calling BookShots.
In the US, Patterson will publish between two and four of the 150-page, $5 novels a month via publisher Little Brown, telling the New York Times he hopes they might appeal to people who do not normally read at all. “You can race through these – they’re like reading movies,” he said.
In the UK, PRH’s Cornerstone has confirmed that it will publish BookShots in all its territories, but has so far released no further details.
In the US, the plan is for BookShots to be stocked in the usual booksellers, but according to the NYT Patterson and Little Brown want to target retail outlets that don’t usually sell books, such as pharmacists and grocery stores. “These venues are very inhospitable to traditional publishing, but we think this is a type of book that could work very well there,” Hachette Book Group chief executive Michael Pietsch said.
HBG is planning to publish 21 BookShots in 2016, including thrillers, sf, mysteries and romances. The first two, to be published in June, are Cross Kill starring Alex Cross and Zoo II, an sf thriller written by Patterson with Max DiLallo.
All the books in the BookShots series will be written or co-written by Patterson, aside from the romances, which will be branded “James Patterson Presents.”
BookShots will later include non-fiction, “with a focus on short, newsy books that play off current events.””

US Senator James Wyckoff hires former government agents turned private security consultants Janson and Kincaid to locate his teenage son Gregory. Gregory's girlfriend Lynell, a translator, has been found dead in a Seoul hotel, and Gregory has fled the city.

Welcome to Bitterly Bay. Spangles McNasty has decided to spend his summer doing what he loves the most: shouting at babies, pulling faces at old ladies, eating cold chips from bins and best of all, collecting other people's spangly things!
Having convinced themselves that goldfish are made of gold and that they grow to the size of whales, Spangles and his friend Sausage-face Pete decide to find the great Fish of Gold. They'll be rich forever!
Only young Freddie Taylor can stop Spangles' dastardly plan, in a tale full of time-travelling jet skis, madcap chases and haunted custard. It is a tale so odd, your mind-cogs will jam with happiness for ever after!
“Elizabeth Haynes is back with a psychological thriller. Fifteen-year-old Scarlett Rainsford disappears while on a family holiday in Rhodes, then re-appears 10 years later in her hometown, a broken young woman working in a local brothel. DCI Louisa Smith has to find out what happened, trawling through 10-year-old interview records, trying to put together a sense of what happened to Scarlett. Behind Closed Doors is a harrowing story of human trafficking, a dark psychological tale, and also one of the most compelling and believable police procedurals I’ve read in a long time. It tells a story that needs to be told, and one that you won’t be able to forget for quite some time. ”
