Dynamite Teams With Amanda Hocking

HollowlandDynamite announced that they entered an agreement with Amanda Hocking and will publish Hollowland comic books in 2012.

Amanda Hocking is an American writer of paranormal romance young-adult fiction. Hocking lives in Austin, Minnesota. Employed as an assisted living worker until 2010, she wrote 17 novels in her spare time.  In April 2010, she began self-publishing them as e-books. By March 2011, she had sold over a million copies of nine books and earned two million dollars from sales, something previously unheard of for self-published authors. To date only five other authors have sold over a million digital e-books.  In early 2011, Hocking averaged 9,000 book sales each day.

In Hollowland, Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way – not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to bring the world of The Hollows to graphic novels,” says acclaimed author Amanda Hocking.  “I’m so fortunate to be able to partner with an amazing publisher like Dynamite to bring this dream to life.”

“It is such a pleasure for Dynamite to be working with Amanda as she knows the world of comics,” says Dynamite President and Publisher Nick Barrucci.  “Amanda’s success shows that hard work and passion pays off and we can’t wait to see her incredible energy translated to comics!”
