Leona Wisoker sold the three-book “Children of the Desert” series to Mercury Retrograde Press in a deal handled by Judith Bruni of Leslie Rivers, International. The three books will be sequels to Wisoker’s Secrets of the Sands, which Mercury Retrograde published in March. It is “the story of humanity’s uneasy truce with the ancient, alien ha’reye and those who would overturn it.” The first of the new books, tentatively titled Bells of the Kingdom, is scheduled for release in Spring 2011.
