Congratulations to WBMT Agency Author Sam Millar, described by the Irish News as “Ireland’s most controversial writer…” who has recently signed a book deal for French foreign language rights to his memoir On The Brinks with the highly prestigious Editions du Seuil in Paris, France. WBMT Agency negotiated the deal on behalf of Millar. On The Brinks is the brilliant true story of author Sam Millar’s extraordinary life. The book explores his harsh upbringing in Northern Ireland, his early days with the IRA and his stay in the notorious H-Blocks during the Blanket Protest and culminates with the Brinks Robbery of 1993 in Rochester, New York; a bloodless and successful heist of 7.4 million dollars masterminded by the author himself.
Congratulations to WBMT Agency Author Sam Millar, described by the Irish News as “Ireland’s most controversial writer…” Millar recently accepted a four-book deal with O’Brien Press and Publishing which includes the following titles:
The Redemption Factory
Bloodstorm
The Dark Place
The Darkness of The Bones
The titles will be released under O’Brien’s Brandon Books imprint. More information coming soon regarding a major deal in France. Sam Millar is winner of the prestigious Aisling Award for Art and Culture, the Martin Healy Short Story Award, the Brian Moore Award and Cork Literary Review Award, et al. Somewhere in between all that is the biggest armored car depot robbery in American History and a pardon from President Bill Clinton. For the rest of the story, steal, borrow or even buy ON THE BRINKS, described by the Irish Examiner in one word…”Brilliant.” Screenplay based on the book is currently in development. Sam was also recently shortlisted for the Grand Prix de la Littérature Policière, the most prestigious award for crime and detective fiction in France.
WBMT Literary, Film and Television is pleased to announce that the agency has joined Author and Attorney Mark Kalmansohn in “The Hunt for the Holocaust Swindler”.
