Here's the full statement that appeared on Winged Hussar's Facebook page today:
Winged Hussar Publishing is happy to announce they have signed an agreement with Jonathan Green to publish and distribute ACE Gamebooks in the US and Canada though Simon & Schuster starting in the Fall of 2020.
ACE Gamebooks is a series of gamebooks created by Jonathan Green and published by Snowbooks in the UK since 2015. A feature of the titles in the series is that they take classic works of literature and give them a dark twist, often combining steampunk elements. Some of the titles take inspiration from more than one work of classic literature, such as NEVERLAND - Here Be Monsters!, which uses elements of both J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan and Wendy and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. Other titles will include: Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland, The Wicked Wizard of Oz, Beowulf Beastslayer, 'TWAS - The Krampus Night Before Christmas, Dracula - Curse of the Vampire.
The first book released will be Alice’s Nightmare in Wonderland starting in the Fall.

This is great news! Looking forward to buy these NA editions. I am just curious to see how they will play compared to the Fighting Fantasy series considering you have been writing gamebooks for more than 20 years! I enjoyed Bloodbones and Curse of the Mummy despite their hard (sometimes unfair) encounters.

Will the North American Hardcover cover of Alice be the same as the 5th Anniversary cover or will it remain the same as the paperback and the older hardcover? Thanks.
