#ColinMorgan[超话]##The Ballad Of Ronan Mccoy# 《罗南·麦考伊民谣》，科林·摩根写的第一本书的相关采访。
演员科林·摩根首部小说重磅亮相，HQ出版社抢先拿下版权。出版总监克莱尔·戈登在法兰克福书展期间，购得该书的全球英语版权。法国、意大利、德国等出版社也已购入了版权。
《罗南·麦考伊民谣》是一个“温情的成长故事”，围绕着友谊与初恋展开。16岁的布兰登满心期待与最好的罗南一起开启高中最后一年的生活。然而开学第一天，罗南并未出现。布兰登的人生轨迹由此发生了不可逆转的改变。
戈登表示：“翻开手稿的那一刻，我就被布兰登的叙事口吻深深吸引。这是一个美好而令人心碎、但依旧充满希望的故事——就像所有最动人的叙事民谣一样。科林是一位极具天赋的作家，能与他合作，将这部出色的小说推向世界，我无比自豪。”
摩根补充道：“我的首部小说，能托付给克莱尔·戈登以及HQ/哈珀柯林斯出版社全体团队，我深感荣幸。创作这部小说，对我而言本身已是一段饱含真心、满怀热忱的历程。如今能有一支对这个故事抱有满怀激情、格外珍视的团队携手制作，这是我职业生涯中最令人动容、激动不已时刻之一。”
该书将于2026年6月18日正式出版。
HQ pre-empts 'phenomenal' debut novel from actor Colin Morgan
RIGHTSJUN 2, 2025BY KATIE FRASER
HQ has pre-empted the debut novel from actor Colin Morgan, The Ballad of Ronan McCoy.
Editorial director Clare Gordon secured world English-language rights from Zoe Ross at United Agents during Frankfurt Book Fair. Rights have also sold to PKJ in France, Mondadori in Italy and Droemer Knaur in Germany following an auction.
The Ballad of Ronan McCoy is a "tender coming-of-age story" about friendship and first love. The story follows 16-year-old Brendan who is excited to start his final year of school with his best friend, Ronan. But when Ronan does not show on the first day, Brendan’s life is irrevocably changed.
Gordon said: "I fell in love with Brendan’s voice the moment I opened the manuscript. It’s a beautiful and devastating story, but a hopeful one too – like all the best ballads. Colin is an incredibly natural writer and I couldn’t be prouder to be working with him to bring his phenomenal novel to the world."
Morgan added: "I couldn’t be more honoured to have my debut novel in the caring hands of Clare Gordon and all at HQ/HarperCollins. The crafting of this novel had already been a heartfelt and impassioned one for me, and now to be joined by a team whose passion and care for this story is immense has been one of the most overwhelming and exciting moments of my career."
The novel will be published on 18th June 2026.
