Everything’s Big in … France?
Recently got my copies of The Way of Shadows as translated into Dutch and French. I think now I can say, “I’m big in France.” (If only literally.)
Here are shots of the books next to their American counterpart.
How cool is that? It’s still amazing and very weird to think that someone with whom I couldn’t communicate if I met them in real life could read what I’ve poured so much of my life into. So thank you to my translators Peter Cuijpers and Olivier Debernard, and to editors Jürgen Snoeren and Stéphane Marsan of Mynx and Bragelonne respectively.

I have sold the rights to all three books in France–so they are coming. When they get published, however, is totally up to Bragelonne. I suggested that they publish in three consecutive months like in the US, but obviously, they decided to do something different. I hope it’s soon, too!

Yay, yay, yay! This is so exciting. How about that French artwork? The French always have to elaborate on everything.
