Thriller Novelist Andrew Segal Regains Publishing Control and Launched an Author’s Edition of <I>The Lyme Regis Murders</I>, an Engaging Murder Mystery Revival of the Tammy Pierre Detective Series
“Writers, much like musicians, deserve the right to own their creations,” Andrew Segal shares. “This book signifies a new beginning, not just for the character of Tammy Pierre, but also for me as a creator.”
Thriller novelist Andrew Segal launches The Lyme Regis Murders, the first in his Tammy Pierre detective series, while reclaiming full publishing control. Branded as an “Author’s Edition,” the book marks a new chapter of creative independence and ownership, inspired by artists like Taylor Swift. This gripping murder mystery kicks off a broader relaunch of Segal’s past works under his new venture, Chagal Publishing LTD.

London, UK - Renowned British thriller author Andrew Segal has just released The Lyme Regis Murders, marking the beginning of his Tammy Pierre detective novel series. This riveting murder mystery, set in the charming seaside town of Lyme Regis, heralds an exciting new phase in Segal’s writing journey and a significant return to creative control.

Famed for his stories often inspired by real-life events, captivating plots, and richly developed characters, Andrew Segal has earned a solid reputation in the realms of crime and thriller fiction. With the re-launch of The Lyme Regis Murders, he is taking the reins of his publishing path by re-releasing the series, independently. This decision reflects a larger movement among artists, notably inspired by Taylor Swift’s recent choice to re-record her music and reclaim her catalog.

“Writers, much like musicians, deserve the right to own their creations,” Segal shares. “This book signifies a new beginning, not just for the character of Tammy Pierre, but also for me as a creator.”

In The Lyme Regis Murders, Detective Tammy Pierre delves into a series of puzzling deaths in the tranquil coastal town. What starts as a local tragedy rapidly evolves into a perilous web of secrets, deception, and hidden truths. This thriller intricately combines classic investigative storytelling with modern character complexity. Readers who enjoy crime fiction and astute detective novels, as well as admirers of well-crafted fiction, will find much to appreciate in this book.

Moreover, this release signifies the start of Segal’s wider initiative to reclaim the rights to his earlier works and establish his own publishing venture, Chagal Publishing LTD. Following his separation from previous publishing partners, several of Segal’s earlier titles became inaccessible. Through these author-owned re-releases, readers can now enjoy freshly designed versions of his previous thrillers, including a new reader discussion guide, delivered directly from the author. Andrew Segal is branding these releases as “Author’s Editions,” giving a new lease of life to some of his past works, including the Tammy Pierre detective series.

“I aimed to breathe new life into these stories, and the only way to truly achieve that was to take full ownership,” Segal explains on his website. “The Lyme Regis Murders is just the starting point.”

Collaborating with Master Book Builders, a company dedicated to assisting indie authors navigation through the complexities of book publishing and marketing, Andrew Segal is optimistic about the future of his books and publishing endeavors. “Helping Andrew take back full control of his books as an indie author is deeply rewarding. We started when he came to us for help publishing The Politician’s Wife, which is actually the third book in his Tammy Pierre murder mystery series and debuted at #1 in multiple categories in the US and UK. When he explained the trouble with his earlier books in the series, we got to work on those, too. He’ll be releasing another Author’s Edition, The Black Candle Killings, the second in the series this summer, and the fourth book is already in the works for a fall release. Very exciting!” said Tom Collins of Master Book Builders

The book is available now on Amazon.
