Local Author Signs Book Deal

Local Author Signs Book Deal
Bookouture, a British publishing company, announced today, our own local author, Tammy L. Grace, known for her best-selling Hometown Harbor Series in women’s fiction and her Cooper Harrington Detective Novels, has just signed a two-book contract with them, writing under the pen name of Casey Wilson. Commissioning Editor Jennifer Hunt has acquired world rights to two emotional, issue-led dramas featuring characters whose bonds with their dogs have changed their lives. Written by author Casey Wilson these uplifting US-set novels will appeal to the readers of Marley and Me and A Dog’s Purpose. 

A Dog’s Hope tells the story of golden retriever Buddy, who’s waiting in the rain for his owner Toby. Toby has been reported missing in action, but Buddy won’t accept this, Toby said he was coming home and Toby always keeps his promises. As Buddy refuses to leave the memorial service, we learn the story of how they met, pulled each other through the toughest of times, and why Buddy will wait for Toby forever…

Jennifer said, “Buddy is a dog you will never forget. This book is for everyone who has ever opened their front door to a wagging tail, marveled at the loyalty of their furry companion and wondered what their dog is thinking. Casey pours so much emotion into this novel, your heart warms for Buddy and Toby just as often as it breaks, and I am so glad I get to work on these books at Bookouture.”

Casey added, “I’m thrilled to be joining the Bookouture team to bring A Dog’s Hope to readers around the world. It’s been so rewarding to work with my editor and fellow caninophile, Jennifer Hunt, on this powerful story of the bond we have with our furry companions and I’m beyond excited to launch the first of two emotional stories that are sure to win the hearts of dog lovers everywhere.”

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
