Collins has agreed a two-book deal with Irish broadcaster Ryan Tubridy of RTÉ Radio One and TV channel RTÉ One.
Jenny Heller, Collins editorial director, bought world rights to both books for a six-figure sum from Noel Kelly at NK Management/CMS Marketing.
The first book, as yet untitled, is scheduled for publication in autumn 2010 and will cover John F Kennedy’s visit to Ireland in June 1963; JFK had Irish forefathers and relatives.
The book will explore his visit and also the social, political and economic climate of the time. The topic of the second title is yet to be confirmed.
