Romance author Hannah Langdon died September 4, the Bookseller reported. She first joined the Romantic Novelists' Association New Writers' Scheme in 2020 and graduated in 2023. She was shortlisted for the Joan Hessayon Award in 2024. Her debut novel, Christmas with the Lords, was a bestselling e-book, and she went on to write four more romance novels, including Christmas with the Princes, which will be released posthumously on October 23.
Oliver Rhodes, managing director of Storm Publishing, said: "Hannah's love of writing shone through in every page she created, and in every interaction with those who worked alongside her. She was exceptionally talented, dedicated, and brought an infectious enthusiasm to all she did. We feel deeply fortunate to have published her work, and will miss her immensely."
Kathryn Taussig, her editor, commented: "I really loved working with Hannah, both on a personal and professional level, and was so sad to hear the news of her passing. I still can't quite get my head around the fact that we aren't going to work on any more books together. She was a total joy to edit and publish--a real talent and just the loveliest person. Everybody at Storm is going to miss her hugely, and I know her readers will too."
