Journalist Omid Scobie, known for his biographies covering the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has faced a difficult launch for his debut fiction novel, "Royal Spin" The book, co-written with American young adult author Robin Benway, was released in British bookshops last month It marks Scobie's first venture into fiction writing, following two previous non-fiction books on royal matters
The novel's plot centers on an American woman who leaves a position at the White House to accept a role at Buckingham Palace According to reports, the book has not met with commercial success since its release. It has "struggled considerably in Amazon's sales rankings across both British and American markets"
The source described the literary venture as having "backfired" on the author, who was once hailed as a trusted voice for Meghan Markle The launch reportedly "failed to achieve the desired resuts" for Scobie, representing a notable challenge in his transition from non-fiction journalist to novelist
