Novelist E. Lynn Harris died unexpectedly in July, but St. Martin’s will still publish the late author’s novel, “In My Father’s House: The Chronicle of Bentley L. Dean.”
Publishers Weekly reports that publication is set for July 2010. The book was the first part of a three-part series about a man who owns a Miami modeling agency. The author’s agent, John Hawkins, arranged the deal with publisher Sally Richardson.
Here’s more from the post: “An SMP spokesperson said several unfinished drafts to other books in the series are with the Harris estate, and the publisher is exploring the possibility of how or if to publish them.”
