Books for the Fatherland

Jun 16, 2009 17:58

If you follow me on Twitter you've seen that I recieved my signing payment for German editions of all of my Iron Codex books. (Looking at the titles makes me excited for the possibilities of Book 2, which involves goblins, necropolises, dream-stealing clocks and hot rods, though not necessarily in that order.)

I am always delighted when I get word of a foreign rights sale (so far the Iron Codex has sold to Russia, Taiwan, Brazil, Holland and Germany)(And the first three Nocturne City books in to the UK) but I'm doubly excited about the German sale because from what I've seen, the Germans really love fantasy, particularly urban fantasy, and they are passionate and voluble about their love.

(Hint, Germany: I would love to come visit you, your charming cities, and your beer in exchange for me doing authorly sorts of things.)

So yes, my steampunk-faerie-Cold War adventure will be coming to Europe and points east and south and I couldn't be more thrilled.

In less writerly news, I have an appointment with a hand therapist next week to see if they can't do something about my tendinitist (which, perversely, has been getting better ever since I finally cracked and went to see my crazy Ukrainian doctor about it.) I've scheduled a road trip north on Saturday, and my content edits are due on Monday. All in all, a pretty normal week.

Now I walk to the bank (walking everywhere is weird, even after six weeks), and perhaps treat myself to some kind of Deustch-money celebration. Most likely involving candy.
