Canceled Muhammad novel finds new publisher

A historical novel about the prophet Muhammad and his child bride that was pulled by Random House over concerns it would anger Muslims will be printed by another German publisher, the author said in an interview released Wednesday.

Germany’s Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper said Sherry Jones told them her debut novel “The Jewel of Medina” will be published in October in English. The American author declined to identify the publisher or give other details, but dismissed concerns it could provoke violence, the newspaper reported.
